===Setting and characters===
{{main|Spira (Final Fantasy)|Characters of Final Fantasy X and X-2}}
''Final Fantasy X'' is set in the fictional world of Spira, consisting of one large landmass divided into three subcontinents, surrounded by small tropical islands. It features diverse climates, ranging from the tropical Besaid and Kilika islands, to the temperate Mi'ihen region, to the frigid Macalania and Mt. Gagazet areas. Spira is very different from the mainly European-style worlds found in previous ''Final Fantasy'' games, being much more closely modeled on [[Southeast Asia]], most notably with respect to vegetation, topography, architecture, and names.<ref name=producer />

Spira features a variety of races, though predominantly populated by humans. Among them are the Al Bhed, a technologically advanced but disenfranchised sub-group of humans with distinctive green eyes and unique language.<ref name="aftersalvage" /><ref name="blame" /> The Guado, which are less human in appearance, with elongated fingers and other [[arboreal]] features. Still less human are the lion-like Ronso and the frog-like Hypello. A subset of Spira's sentient races are the "unsent", the strong-willed spirits of the dead that remain in corporeal form. In Spira, the dead who are not sent to the Farplane by a summoner come to envy the living and transform into "[[Four Fiends|fiends]]", the monsters that are encountered throughout the game;<ref name="sending" /> however, unsent with strong attachments to the world of the living may retain their human form. Other fauna in Spira, aside from those drawn from real animals, such as cats, dogs, birds, and butterflies, include the gigantic, amphibious shoopufs (which are similar to elephants); and the emu-like [[chocobo]], which appears in most ''Final Fantasy'' games.

There are seven main [[player character|playable characters]] in ''Final Fantasy X'', starting with [[Tidus]] ([[James Arnold Taylor]]/[[Masakazu Morita]]), a cheerful young teenager and a star blitzball player from Zanarkand, who seeks a way home after an encounter with Sin transported him to Spira.<ref name=aftersalvage /> To do so, he joins [[Yuna (Final Fantasy)|Yuna]] ([[Hedy Burress]]/[[Mayuko Aoki]]), a summoner on a journey to obtain the Final Aeon and defeat the enormous whale-like "Sin".<ref name="day of departure"/> Journeying with them are: [[Kimahri Ronso]] ([[John DiMaggio]]/[[Katsumi Chō]]), a young warrior of the Ronso tribe who watched over Yuna during her childhood;<ref name="kimarhi ronso"/> [[Wakka (Final Fantasy)|Wakka]] (also DiMaggio/[[Kazuya Nakai]]), a blitzball player whose younger brother was killed by Sin;<ref name=wakka /><ref name=chappu /> and [[Lulu (Final Fantasy)|Lulu]] ([[Paula Tiso]]/[[Rio Natsuki]]), a [[Stoicism|stoic]] [[Final Fantasy character classes#Black Mage|black mage]] close to Yuna and Wakka.<ref name="day of departure"/> During the journey, they are joined by [[Āron|Auron]] ([[Matt McKenzie]]/[[Hideo Ishikawa]]), a former warrior monk, who worked with both Tidus' and Yuna's fathers to defeat Sin 10 years prior;<ref name="auron at luca"/> and [[Rikku]] ([[Tara Strong]]/[[Marika Matsumoto]]), Yuna's cousin, a perky Al Bhed girl and the first friendly person Tidus meets upon arriving in Spira.<ref name=aftersalvage />
