More than just embarking on a fateful pilgrimage to defeat the invincible entity called Sin (just by the name you can expect there are plenty of religious overtones), their story blossoms into one of gaming’s greatest on-screen romances, this despite some at times ropey voice-acting. The reason X is so fondly remembered is undoubtedly the relationship between star Blitzball player Tidus and Summoner Yuna.

The HD Remaster contains both X and X-2 and shows that after all these years, it’s still a stunning and emotional experience that feels right at home on Switch. Final Fantasy X is arguably one of the most beloved entries, a watershed for the series giving voice to its cast that had previously relied on just its iconic blue text boxes. Although Final Fantasy spin-offs have appeared on Nintendo platforms in intervening years, it’s only now that the mainline series is finally making its way back to where it all began way back on the NES.
