Due to its commercial and critical success, Square Enix released a direct sequel to ''Final Fantasy X'' in 2003, titled ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''.<ref name="FFX-2">{{cite web|last=Dunham |first=Jeremy |date=November 24, 2003 |title=Final Fantasy X-2 Developer Interview |url=http://ps2.ign.com/articles/442/442025p1.html |work=IGN |publisher=News Corporation |access-date=November 24, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120810062807/http://ps2.ign.com/articles/442/442025p1.html |archive-date=August 10, 2012}}</ref> The sequel is set two years after the conclusion of ''Final Fantasy X'', establishing new conflicts and dilemmas and resolving loose ends left by the original game.

The advancements in portraying realistic emotions achieved with ''Final Fantasy X'' through voice-overs and detailed facial expressions have since become a staple of the series, with ''X-2'' and other subsequent titles (such as ''[[Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy XIII|XIII]]'' and its sequels, and ''[[Final Fantasy XV|XV]]'') also featuring this development. Traversing real-time 3D environments instead of an overworld map has also become a standard of the series. ''Final Fantasy X'' can be considered a pioneer in 3-D RPG maps.<ref name="GT-FFRetrospectiveVII">{{cite web | url = http://www.gametrailers.com/video/part-vii-final-fantasy/24248 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090525090957/http://www.gametrailers.com/video/part-vii-final-fantasy/24248 | archive-date = May 25, 2009 | title = Final Fantasy Retrospective Part VII | publisher = GameTrailers| date = August 28, 2007 | access-date = April 6, 2009}}</ref> The Sphere Grid system of ''FFX'' had an influence on the action role-playing game ''[[Path of Exile]]'' (2013), along with the [[Materia (Final Fantasy)|Materia]] system of ''Final Fantasy VII''.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Beck |first1=Adam |title=Grinding Gears About Path of Exile with Chris Wilson |url=https://hardcoregamer.com/features/interviews/grinding-gears-about-path-of-exile-with-chris-wilson/35504/ |access-date=5 November 2021 |work=Hardcore Gamer |date=April 2, 2013 |archive-date=November 5, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211105063648/https://hardcoregamer.com/features/interviews/grinding-gears-about-path-of-exile-with-chris-wilson/35504/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
