Final Fantasy X is the tenth installment in the Final Fantasy role-playing game series, and the first game of the series to be released on the PlayStation 2. Introduced in 2001, it was once among the top twenty best-selling console games of all time, and has sold in excess of 7.93 million copies worldwide. Set in the fantasy world of Spira, the game's story centers around a group of adventurers and their quest to defeat a rampaging force known as "Sin". The game is significant in the Final Fantasy series in that it marks the transition from entirely pre-rendered backdrops to fully three-dimensional areas with the PlayStation 2's robust graphical capabilities. Additionally, it is the first in the series to feature a wide range of realistic facial expressions, extensive voice acting, and other innovations. Final Fantasy X was also the first game in the series to spawn a direct sequel, Final Fantasy X-2. (More...)
