Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X is a 2001 role-playing video game developed and published by Square for PlayStation 2. The tenth main installment in the Final Fantasy series, it is the first game in the series to feature fully three-dimensional areas, and voice acting. Final Fantasy X replaces the Active Time Battle (ATB) system with the "Conditional Turn-Based Battle" (CTB) system, and uses a new leveling system called the "Sphere Grid".

Where Final Fantasy X sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Final Fantasy X lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 61ahead of 15% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 67ahead of 98% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Final Fantasy X
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
