Is final Fantasy X still worth playing despite spoilers?

It's good, go for it. I was never a huge fan of the story to begin with, the dialogue is a bit painful at times. Combat system is great and with the new remaster, the music and some of the visual got some much needed love. It's pretty linear though, up until the last part of the game when you get the ship and get to "explore" (Which makes me wonder by people gave FFXIII such a hard time when FFX is just as linear) The journey is more important than the destination and unless you really, REALLY give a hoot about these characters (I didn't, honestly), you will still enjoy it. Plus, Blitzball.

FFX doesn't feel as linear though. In FFXIII it is pretty much, walk forward, fight some battles, watch cutscenes, rinse and repeat. In FFX there are other things to do, you have to towns you stop in where you get a break from the battles and you also have blitzball to play around with.

Exactly. FF13 took linearity just a step or three too far, with constant mandatory party composition and level caps in place just to keep you moving forward rather than doing your own thing. I can see why the comparisons between 10 and 13 exist, but they feel so different...10 sucked me in immediately, whereas 13 repulsed me.
