Absolutely. FFX's visuals are beautiful; they bring the world to life with so much detail.

Some people were skeptical about having an FF with all 3D environments; they said there'd not be enough room on disc for a big or detailed imaginary world. They were wrong, and people said the same thing about FFVII anyway.

There are lots of neat details that make Spira such a memorable world: the grasses and plants waving in the wind, on Besaid Island and the Mi'ihen Highroad in particular. Then there are the bird colonies, and the waves and tides near the Besaid coast. Little details of life that are easy to overlook, but add a whole lot to the experience.

There are some effective sinister locations, too - Baaj Temple is a good example, as are the underwater areas.

The character graphics, too, are the best yet. The detailed clothing and movement is very precise, and the lifelike faces convey emotion well. In fact, FFX and X-2 might have the best character graphics we'll see for a while - FFXII's characters are going to be made with about half the number of polygons compared to FFX.
