This is something I just typed up. It's about what I think of the Final Fantasy series. Most the information might not be correct, but that doesn't matter as it's my insight into the world of Final Fantasy. It might take awhile to read, as it's choc full of my insights on Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X-2 should be done soon.
The Final Fantasy series amazes me, with all the interesting characters and stories. There are so many references to Western fantasy elements, such as dragons and elves. The games themselves are RPGs (Role-Playing Games) where you play as a character that levels up and fights evil. Most Final Fantasy characters have distinguishing features such as; spiky hair, like that of Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII and Squall Leonheart's distinctive 'gun-blade' from Final Fantasy VIII. Some enemies are also distinguished from other games for their hair, such as Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII.

Final Fantasy, the first game in the series was easily to tell apart from its interesting sprites and story-line. The graphics were simple, as the game was on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System.) Although the graphics were simple, they were also distinctive. The main classes/jobs in Final Fantasy were;
Red Mage; a made able to cast both simple Black and White magic spells.
White Mage; a weak yet useful mage which cannot attack but can use healing magic.
Black Mage; a mage able to cast powerful Black magic spells with harmful effects.
Fighter; a young warrior which fights with swords and other weapons.
Black Belt; a warrior who fights with Martial Arts.
Thief; a warrior who fights with small knives and is able to steal items from enemies.

Final Fantasy X, the tenth game in the Final Fantasy series chronicles the lives of Tidus; a young Blitzball player and Yuna; a Summoner on her pilgrimage. The game is set in the land of Spira, which was nearly destroyed one thousand years ago by Sin. Sin has returned, and the only one who can stop it is Yuna, daughter of High Summoner Braska. On her pilgrimage to find the Aeons, she meets a young man named Tidus who claims to be from Zanarkand. But the thing is, Zanarkand was destroyed one thousand years ago! The final Aeon is the only way Sin can be defeated, but a sacrifice must be made…
On their journey through Spira, they meet some strange characters. There’s the Bliztball player, Wakka who uses a Blitzball as a weapon in battle! Lulu, the gothic woman has a moogle doll that comes to life and attacks enemies. She’s also a Black Mage, and able to use some powerful spells. Rikku, the Al Bhed(more on Al Bhed later) girl that is also a Thief and fights using her weapons known as ‘God Hands.’ Auron, one of Braska’s guardians becomes one of Yuna’s guardians further into the game. He’s a powerful warrior, wielding a Samurai sword. Kimarhi Ronso, the large blue lion-like beast also becomes another of Yuna’s guardians. He’s a Dragoon/Lancer meaning he can jump on enemies with a lance.
