X is by far and away superior to VII. The only things I really didn't like about X was the development of stats/abilities (I hated the sphere grid) and the voice acting. Other than that, X was an excellent game. And what's better yet, I didn't have to use Tidus the whole game, which was good, because I didn't like him. (Auron, Yuna, and Rikku ftw). However, I couldn't stand Cloud and I was stuck with him throughout the whole damn game. >_>
