Battles net you Ability Points (AP), which go towards each job ability until it's learned by the character. Each character can have one dressphere at a time, which grants them access to different abilities and functions in battle. In FFX-2, players obtain different jobs through dresspheres. The trade-off is that there are fewer nodes this way, so there are fewer upgrades. The HD Remaster also includes the Expert version of the Sphere Grid (originally in the International version), which has each character start in the middle of the grid and can follow whatever path the player wants. The Sphere Grid system lets players customize each character to best suit their intended roles. This lets you move around on the Sphere Grid for each character, unlocking skills or improving attributes by using different types of spheres. Instead, as each character gains experience points, they earn a Sphere Grid level. Though I did notice some oddities when it came to character models and their facial expressions and mouth movements when speaking, such as not syncing up perfectly with the dialogue.įFX also doesn't have the classic leveling up system that you're used to. The voice acting and soundtrack are also better, and you even have the option of going with original or improved soundtrack with FFX. When you get a non-cinematic scene, the character models do show the age a bit, but the graphics are smoothed out and noticeably better compared to the original. The quality of these cutscenes is definitely high definition, so even if you've played the games before, it's worth another play-through to enjoy these scenes in glorious HD. Regardless, the story for both games can get quite emotional, and there are plenty of cutscenes to watch as the story unfolds. In FFX-2, the story takes place two years after the ending of FFX, and Yuna is a treasure hunter in search of spheres that may eventually lead her back to Tidus. Tidus eventually becomes one of her many guardians after discovering that Sin has a connection to his father, as well as Yuna's. He then meets Yuna, an apprentice summoner who sets out on a pilgrimage to collect all of the Aeons and defeat Sin. In FFX, you'll follow along in the journey of a teenager named Tidus, who is an all-star Blitzball player who ends up getting transported to Spira after his homeworld of Zanarkand is attacked by Sin. The story and plot for FFX and FFX-2 are definitely one of their strongest points.
