You know there was a point in time when the name “Square soft” carried a lot of weight to it. Sure nowadays we associate these guys with long development cycles, NFTs, and publishing a lot of bad games. And I mean some real bad games, like major stinkers here. Not you though, you’re pretty good. Which is funny because back in the day these guys were industry juggernauts. The Final Fantasy series is iconic and it was their contribution to the RPG genre that solidified them as a legendary developer. However, in the stone ages, this genre was a little on the niche side. Sure japan was eating good with a seemingly never-ending series of releases, but over here in the West, our options were limited, to say the least. But that all changed back in 1997 when a little indie gem was released for the PlayStation. You probably never heard of it.

Oh would you look at that, it seems as though the industry changed overnight. Playing through this game felt like a blockbuster. The hardware of the PlayStation was pushed to its limits. Sure it looks pretty dated now, but back then, you weren’t finding anything else on this level. Final Fantasy 7’s success isn’t something to be understated. It got plenty of people back in the day to try out a genre that they otherwise would have ignored and skyrocket jrpg’s into the mainstream. But the most insane part about all of this was that Square was able to keep up with the demand. Only a year after FF7 we got Final Fantasy 8 and only one year after that we got 9 and that’s not even counting some of the spinoff games. Sure we can debate the quality of these games all we want but we have to acknowledge just how impressive it all was. Square became well known for these box office smash hits and they garnered themselves a reputation for pushing the technology to its limits while also offering good games to boot (for the most part) simply put, we were eatin' good, and with the release of the hotly anticipated PlayStation 2 on the horizon, fans were salivating to see what the next generation of final fantasy had in store for us and in 2001, we finally got to see the fruits of their labor.

Final Fantasy X 22 Years Later. Final Fantasy X is a legendary game and in this Final Fantasy X Review, Final Fantasy X Analysis, Final Fantasy X Critique, I'm going to be reviewing Final Fantasy X so we can find out Why do people love Final Fantasy X? In this Final Fantasy X Retrospective, we'll discuss Why Final Fantasy X is so loved and why people still care so much about Final Fantasy X. This Final Fantasy X Review is going to only cover the PS2 release of Final Fantasy X and not the Final Fantasy X HD Remaster. However I will talk about what is included in Final Fantasy X HD as it becomes relivant. Perhaps when I make a Final Fantasy X 2 Review I will compare Final Fantasy X vs Final Fantasy X 2 to complete my Final Fantasy X Retrospective. Does Final Fantasy X hold up in 2023? We'll find out in Why do people love Final Fantasy X? Made by Nam's Compendium.
