Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Final Fantasy X is my favorite game in the Final Fantasy series. Feel free to go into the comments and wail and moan about Final Fantasy VII and Cloud and Aerith and how stupid I am all you want; for me, FFX is as good as it gets. The soundtrack of Final Fantasy X is especially memorable, and so it's no surprise that this clever interpretation of the game's opening theme,  "To Zanarkand", captured my heart in all of a millisecond.

Spotted on NeoGAF, this video was created by LittleBigPlanet user Kirathian, who certainly has a handle on using the best of LBP's creative options to his or her advantage. This beautiful revisitation to one of my favorite games genuinely made my day.

Okay, that is fucking cool. I want a PS3 now, which isn't cool. I am also now staring at my calendar waiting for Aprils concert in michigan. I think I can hate the next 6 months out of existence.

Again proving that song can give me the shivers in any format. Very nice.

One of my old roommates learned to play that song on the piano. It's pretty neat that this could be done, but it'd be nice to be able to control the tempo. The song was a tad too fast, as I'm sure you're aware.

It also would have been cool to see some FFX-releated imagery in the background or something. No doubt, this is pretty cool, but it's nothing that somebody without the Internet and some time on his hands couldn't do.

Nifty stuff. LBP is going to be a big PS3 seller if the economy doesn't tank any further and keep people from buying the console.

Oh, and also, I'm surprised that, being the retro gamer you are, one of the SNES Final Fantasy games isn't your favorite.

Tidus may have been feminine, but damn, he was brilliant. I mean, come on! The dude plays a variation of football and basketball UNDER WATER!

Also, I wish I would have been quicker off the mark to get a beta code now. :(

and this was brilliant. I'm REALLY excited for this game, mostly because I'll have an outlet for my insanity.

Like most hardcore rpg fans, we believe rpgs have went down hill since the 32-bit era.

FF6 >>>>>>>> FF7

FFX = Crappy Voices + whiny Protagonist + Meg Ryan + Crappy Final Boss

Glad I'm not the only one who really enjoyed X. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. :(

@Ashley Davis: I love IX as well. *shrug*

I've notice that FFIX is really popular with young people, especially those who didn't grow up playing snes rpgs.

To be honest after the 3 Black Mages boss fight (airship chase), it all went down hill.

That is very awesome, but while I love the song, I think X is the worst of the Final Fantasy games.
VI, XII and IV are the best in my eyes and 10 was an abomination, only made worse by the fact they made X-2.
At least you're still hot and have that going for you.

That's freakin awesome, I didn't know there was a sort of Mario Paint feature in LBP :P

Ten is my favorite too, only thing that comes close is six.

My girlfriend <3's FFX as well, I enjoyed it a boot load more than X-2 that was...bad IMO.

I never played X.

LOVED X-2 though.

Isn't that weird?

That was amazing, but... I wanna see what happens when you drag the box in reverse.

FFX wasn't my favorite, though I did like it quite a bit. The soundtrack ranks second in the series for me, only trumped by VIII. Eyes on Me may be lyrically cheesy, but it's a song that can bring me to tears (aside from the Animal Crossing mother story mixed with To Zanarkand). The X-2 soundtrack, however, reminds me of porno music.

Here it is with a slower tempo:

Also, I loved FFX. It was my first serious jRPG that I finished to completion. 'To Zanarkand' is easily one of my favorite songs of all time. Honestly, this one track is more memorable than anything I can remember from 'FFXII.'

@dexter, i mean he could have made the boxes every so slightly bigger. he also could have slowed down the character a bit and just used the momentum of the box in the parts where it should have been slower. i don't think that you can't get it right with this game if you really wanted to, it would just take a lot longer...

Flame me, but FFX is my favorite, followed by FFX-2. Damn, FFX-2 combat was lightning fast, and I liked to play dress up with the costumes :P

IV then X for me.

Also, a bit too fast I think. Still awesome.

VI is the best, and X is the black sheep of the Final Fantasys(lest we include the MMO and the spinoffs, in which case Tactics is the best and XI is the black sheep).

Anywho, I CANT WAIT FOR LITTLEBIGPLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, the piano sounds are very good! I wonder what other instruments will be at our disposal, will it be something like a midi soundset emulation.. And I really hope that you are able change the gravity of your levels.

FFX is also my favorite and that song makes me feel strange emotions. I really can't wait to play LBP.

FFX is rather special to me. It was not only my first turn-based RPG, it was also a game I was given to help me over the loss of my previous entire PS2 and GC game collection. I got sucked into it for what seemed like forever. Beating it was a sad day, indeed.

Then X-2 sucked. So I decided to go backwards, rather than forwards, and now currently finished FFIII and am working up to IV.

to Colette:
FFX is the worst game in the series (unless we count Mystic Quest). Its story is so melodramatic and psuedo-emo that it makes FF7 look like Lazytown, and its unbearably linear to the point where its follow one path to the end of the game. Heck by the time you get the airship and the game stops being linear, you only get to embark mainly in sidequests! And lets not mention the terrible fan service sequel.

Allow me to demonstrate the proper order of the FF hierarchy.

FF7 > FF6 > FF9 > FF4 > FF8 > *any order you want* >FFX
(Note: You can swap FF7 and FF6 around because they're the two best installments in the series, I just prefur 7 because I prefur sci-fi over fantasy)

Xenogears > Final Fantasy

But I like FFX, the only FFs that I really don't like is VIII and XI (not sure if that one even counts) other than that I thoroughly enjoy all of them. X-2 taking the bottom of that list (above 8 and 11).
