Final Fantasy X review

Final Fantasy X is the best value on the list. Square Enix describes the story as Tidus, a star blitzball player, traveling with Yuna, a young summoner, on her quest to save Spira from an endless cycle of destruction caused by the creature Sin. That is a full role-playing game, and DKOldies lists the used PS2 disc at $9.99, the lowest price here. For emulator players and PC owners, Square Enix also sells the FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster, which bundles the sequel, is based on the International versions once released only in Japan and Europe, and adds auto-save plus boosters such as high speed and no encounter modes. The original disc does not have those extras, so collectors buy it for the release itself. Turn-based battles and a slow opening are the main reasons some players bounce off. For anyone who likes RPGs, it is the easiest yes on the shelf.

Who it is for

RPG fans and budget collectors who want a long, complete story for under $10.
