He would travel the world seeking this cure, knowing his own time was fast approaching…Īlthough these initial ideas didn’t quite make it into the final product, this FFX concept art shows some clear similarities between 17 SEVEN TEEN’s universe and Final Fantasy X’s. Certainly, the physical characteristics of the blond, spiky-haired, seemingly optimistic protagonists but also in the clothing styles and architecture choices of the other characters and their environments. Focusing on a protagonist who looked very similar to Final Fantasy X’s Tidus, the protagonist of 17 SEVEN TEEN sought a cure for a raging pandemic that mysteriously killed people once they hit 17 years of age.

It’s this journey in particular that fans of the game may not be totally familiar with, as game development as a whole tends to be shrouded in secrecy. Of course, the protagonist, Tidus, has embarked on a journey of his own, traveling through different planes of existence to be present with the rest of the crew.Īnd then there’s the journey of Final Fantasy X as a game - one that started from the minds of its creators and ended in our hands, gracing our gaming screens.
Yusuke Naora, the art director for Final Fantasy X, FFVII, FFVIII, and FFXV, described the game as a “journey,” which is true for multiple reasons: first, the focus of Final Fantasy X itself is a pilgrimage, the characters journeying from one temple to the next. Its distinct mix of culture, religion, architecture, and environments based off real world places like Bali set it apart from the games that came before it, which often drew inspiration from medieval Europe or a mechanical dystopian universe. The dreams that have faded… never forget them.įinal Fantasy X features one of the most beautifully unique worlds in the entirety of the Final Fantasy franchise.
