Just one question? Why is X considered classic? It's basically the first modern FF, and it also had most of the problems that people complain about in the last two games (XII-XIII). I actually think it's one of the worst FF games, and can't for the life of me figure out why it gets praise while XIII gets so much hate. IMO they are in the same league, and I would definitely re-play XIII over X.

Wakka is the worst guy ever, he makes Snow look awesome. And there isn't a single moment in the game involving Vanille that even comes close to the horrible laughing scene with Tidus and Yuna.

simple: Final Fantasy X allowed you to completely control your entire party rather than just one (and getting a game over if that one dies), and while the game was linear, it actually had side quests, minigames, and endgame content, a memorable villain, and a lead character that actually DEVELOPS (he goes from being a whiny, insfferable prick to a genuine selfless hero...if that isn't character development, I don't know what is.) 

And I'd take Wakka over Hope any day.  Wakka was an ignorant, prejudiced athlete who had to come to terms with his bigotry and grow to be a better person, blach blah.  my point is, in spite of all the complaints about FFX, the fact remains that it was a fantastic game with a VERY well done story and some of the best, most developed characters in the series. Only thing it was really lacking compared to 1-9 was a world map, which is sorely missed but it works. 

I forgot to mention the characters in my reply to PearlJam but I agree completely with the bolded.
