This decade, known as "the Calm," is a blessing for the people of Spira, but the personal cost of the summoner's journey is a great one. The indomitable force cannot be killed, so instead, the devout followers of Yevon known as summoners-along with a group of battle-tested guardians-journey across the world to grow strong enough to banish Sin for a 10-year period. The residents of Final Fantasy X's expansive world have lovingly adopted the teachings of the deity Yevon thanks to the pervasive threat of Sin, a destructive, whale-like entity that's been painted as a punishment for past transgressions. Spira, even with its picturesque sandy shores and reverential places of worship, isn't a safe haven. Yet the religiously charged plot and distinctive progression system are the feature attractions for this particular return. The visual updates-as well as the addition of content previously exclusive to the international edition of the PlayStation 2 original-are compelling reasons to revisit one of the most poignant entries in the long-running series. It often takes more than a fresh coat of graphical paint to drag an aged product into modern times, but luckily, this marvelous role-playing game doesn't feel stuck in the past.
Even considering my fond memories of Yuna's pilgrimage through the ecclesiastical world of Spira, I couldn't help but consider Final Fantasy X's age when firing up the aptly titled HD Remaster version.
