I prefer Final Fantasy X alot more because although XII has a superior battle system in which you can further explore environments, the games equivalents of aeons (these so called "esters") didn't measure up to that of X. So the aeons win it for X with me

Final fantasy X was brilliant: it was much better than the other games that were introduced after the game. The game play was good, and the overall story really pulled you in. I havent played final fantasy 7 so i have no say... i heard it was great though.I had more of a connection to VII and wholeheartedly think its better, but they are both good games

I know this topic was created before FFXII was released in North America, but I still have to say X was my favorite. I think it may have to do with it being the one I played earlier, because that set my expectations for XII. That's not to say XII was a bad game, I just miss the traditional random battles and such that were in all the FFs before XII. Plus X had the better storyline in my opinion, though I don't want to spoil anything.

Hmm that is a pretty hard chance-FFX is a good game and blitzball is in my oppinion the best mini-game that final fantasy has ever seen. The music, graphics and characters are all great as well. The sphere grid was pretty cool too and i liked how you could make everyone like a god (goddess). Although the battle system is pretty much same old, same old despite the fact that you can change around your characters. The overdrives we're pretty cool too, although just like in ff8 it makes the best characters the ones who have the best overdrives; tidus, wakka, lulu. As well as yuna with the magus sisters. It was really fun game but it was just way too short and way to easy. The arena was the only slightly difficult part about it, in fact the only rough bosses were (for me) great sphere and nemesis. Alright...FF12. What it lacks in mini-games it makes up for in sheer versatility of gameplay. You can play the games with gods like in ffx. You can play it as a game with "classes" (credit- ff12sector) or many of the other challenges out there. There's plenty of reality in it, for example the skill poach, which you may have to use to get certain items for the bazaar. Sell different items to the store to unlock items in the bazaar sort of a new spin on synthesis. I also like that the game wasn't EASY. To get all the weapons and items, etc. you had to work for it. To get all the summons you have to work for it. And once you get these items and weapons and summons its worth it. The story was excellent, my onle beef with ff12 is the english voice actors and vaan overall as a character (although balthier sounds cool in english)For me i like a challenge and i like being rewarded for my hard work. Even though the main character is probably my least favorite character of all final fantasies, ff12 is the winner for me...
that is a good point, i expected too much of ff12 and at first i disliked it. But once i started playing more i fell in love. You got to remember that transition from ff9 to ff10 graphically, visually, and sound wise was a huge achievement and think that gave ff12 an unfair expectation, every game cant be the next gen game=). FF12 did actually have great great great music and the visuals were nice too (minus vaan's ribs? (i think they are)). The battle system was pretty dynamic too (if you use atb)I know this topic was created before FFXII was released in North America, but I still have to say X was my favorite. I think it may have to do with it being the one I played earlier, because that set my expectations for XII. That's not to say XII was a bad game, I just miss the traditional random battles and such that were in all the FFs before XII.

12, why even question? people who liked 10, liked it because it was a major improvement from the other games because of the graphics and the fact that they spoke but 12 has got a lot more to it and the history is one of the most brilliant ever. 12 a thousand times 12, hands down!

FFX was pretty sweet. I remember playing the hell out the blitz ball mini-game. It worked for me. Still nothing compared to FFVII or FFIII

Kinda hard to choose, i really REALLY enjoyed FFX , but not as much as FFX-2, but FFX-2 has the option of playing with the main chars through the entire game, and i hate switching characters all the time like FFX.. D:

I unfortunately never psychically played nether yet. I had played X-2... Oops that was a mistake.But I did watch someone play most of X. and watched a long demo of XII.I just re-bought a ps2 and Blindly Purchased Both Titles.I'm sure they will both hold their own. Since they both look deep and unique.

well i prefer ffx better because i didnt get used to the new battle system and ffx was better because each character had their own weapons and abilities they were good at but in 12 everybody could use any weapon they want, but the summonings in the game was pretty good

For me FFX and FFXII is like twins best game for ps2, but they not identic twins.FFX have great story with great characters (or many fans of tidus and yuna), FFXIII lack in story (maybe is not to fantasy because the main story about politics) but very good in graphic and FMV or event and the characters is not to populer but have many summon.The other thing FFX cann't change type of weapon, in FFXII (like the original) can change the weapon.The summon, battle system, skillp point, limit break/quickening is pretty different. If you want me to choose what is the best, I choose FFXII, because have great battle system (many people maybe don't like it, but I like gambit system, semi auto battle), have great graphic, and many event and cutscene, and quickening system is really greatttt.

X, mainly because I felt that I could connect with the characters better despite the short story (felt short to me, first final fantasy I completed in four days with just the main game). Plus XII felt really lazy at many places, like the magic animations and spell list. The animations were mainly really unimpressive while certain things didn't make sense, like how enemies get higher levels of the water spell, while your party didn't. Also, the summoning system left a sour taste in my mouth. All these things that were mentioned were also better handled in X/

XII no doubt there, and here are some points backs up my claim:1. An open world instead of a world were 90% the only movement you make is to move your analog pin forward 
2. The character gallery, granted the characters in XII aren't the strongest in the FF series (and Vaan deserves a VERY grim fate) but in X there weren't a single character I liked3. The battle system, there's nothing wrong with random battles (although they can get quite repedetive) but I really liked the new combat system in XII... and I really disliked the fact that X was turn based combat instead of ATB

I think the two games both have their own good points and bad points...the storyline in FFX has more emotions in it (imho), with the love relation between tidus and Yuna...FFXII is more about friendship and helpingeach other...But the battle system in FFXII is a good upgrade yeah, i prefer XII...I love training your characters to a high level, and if a game is *a little bit* hard to play itis more an adventure right =)
