I can't understand why people love this game. It's an interactive movie with linear dungeons that are there for the sole reason for getting you from Cutscene A to Cutscene B. Half it's cast is just poorly written while the other half is just unlikable, and it's story is riddled with pointless plot devices that do nothing more than convulate the plot while adding nothing to it as a whole. I still believe that FFX is Squenix's tech demo for the PS2. It was only made to show what the PS2 was capable of, not to actually create a good game or story.
I have to disagree with this. I thought X had by far the best characters, plot, and most importantly gameplay* of any FF to date, and still does. It was horrendously linear, I can't deny that, and I think that works strongly against it. But I think it's the best work Square's done on the series to date, tbh.
