Immerse yourself in a world that has been devastated by a mysterious force known only as "Sin". Where human existence teeters on the brink of extinction, it's up to you to save the beloved homeland of Zanarkand. With integrated voiceovers and a host of new features, Final Fantasy X sets a new standard in gaming for the PS2. Are you ready for the next big step in role playing games?

In Final Fantasy X, the main character, Tidus, is a star player of blitzball, a full contact sport. After miraculously surviving the destruction of his homeland, he awakens among ruins and thereafter meets a young woman named Yuna. As a summoner, Yuna must travel to distant temples and learn the secret art of summoning aeons-powerful spirits of yore, in order to defeat "Sin." Tidus learns that a thousand years in the past, mankind lived in spectacular cities and relied on machines for everything, until Sin suddenly appeared and destroyed all civilization. Now, people shun technology, and no one knows when "Sin" will strike again. Final Fantasy X features a distinct Asian influence, bringing a fresh feel to the characters, music, settings and story.

Final Fantasy X will also be the first in the series to feature voiceovers for the characters. James Arnold Taylor ("A Moment of Silence") and Hedy Burress ("Valentine") will voice the main characters in the U.S. release of Final Fantasy X. In addition to the game's voiceover dialogue and fluid gameplay-to-full-motion-video transitions, Final Fantasy X offers fully 3D environments that seamlessly integrate real-time movement with battles, allowing yous to walk around and engage in battles on the same field map screen. Life-like, high-polygon, motion-captured characters designed by Tetsuya Nomura (Final Fantasy VII, VIII, Parasite Eve, Parasite Eve 2) bring realism to the screen. As seen in previous Final Fantasy titles, you will be able to enjoy new mini-games, such as mastering the sport of blitzball and the Al Bhed language, plus engage in the all-new "Sphere Grid" battle system.
