Final Fantasy X, commonly abbreviated as FFX, is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square for the PlayStation 2. Released in 2001 in Japan and North America, it is the tenth mainline entry in the Final Fantasy series and the first to feature extensive voice acting in cutscenes. The game was later released on other platforms as part of remasters.

Set in the world of Spira, FFX follows Tidus, a young athlete transported from his home city of Zanarkand to Spira. He joins summoner Yuna and her guardians—Auron, Wakka, Kimahri, and later Rikku—in a pilgrimage to defeat Sin, a colossal force responsible for a cycle of death and destruction. The narrative explores themes of faith, sacrifice, personal growth, and the costs of breaking tradition.

Gameplay blends traditional turn-based combat with real-time elements and a strategic progression system. Battles use a conditional turn-based system, while exploration and character growth hinge on the Sphere Grid, which grants new abilities and roles as characters advance. The Overdrive mechanics provide powerful character-specific finishers. Players travel across Spira, visiting towns, temples, and airships, and interact with a cast of recurring figures.

Final Fantasy X received widespread acclaim for its story, characters, visuals, and the introduction of full voice acting to the series. It achieved strong sales and is regarded as a landmark title for the PlayStation 2 and for Japanese role-playing games. A direct sequel, Final Fantasy X-2, followed in 2003, and both games were later collected in HD remasters for modern platforms.
