Square's 2001 role playing video game Final Fantasy X is the tenth game of the Final Fantasy series. It features several fictional characters designed by Tetsuya Nomura, who wanted the main characters' designs and names to be connected with their personalities and roles in the plot. The game takes place in Spira, which features multiple tribes. The game's sequel, Final Fantasy X 2, was released in 2003. It takes place two years after the events of Final Fantasy X and features both new and returning characters. There are seven main playable characters in the game, most prominently protagonist Tidus, a skilled blitzball player from Zanarkand who becomes lost in the world of Spira after an encounter with an enormous creature called Sin and searches for a way home. He joins the summoner Yuna, who travels towards Zanarkand's ruins to defeat Sin alongside her guardians: Kimahri Ronso, a member of the Ronso tribe; Wakka, the captain of the blitzball team in Besaid; Lulu, a stoic black mage; Auron, a famous warrior and an old acquaintance of Tidus; and Rikku, Yuna's cousin who searches for a way to avoid Yuna's sacrifice in the fight against Sin. The leader of the Guado tribe, Seymour Guado, briefly joins the party for a fight, but is revealed to be an antagonist in his quest to replace Tidus' father, Jecht, to become the new Sin. Final Fantasy X 2 features Yuna, Rikku, and the newly introduced Paine as playable characters in their quest to find spheres across Spira and find clues regarding Tidus' current location. During their journey, they meet Paine's former comrades, who are related to the spirit of an avenger named Shuyin. The creation of these characters brought the Square staff several challenges, as Final Fantasy X was the first game in the franchise to feature voice acting. They also had to feature multiple tribes from different parts from Spira with distinctive designs. Various types of merchandising based on the characters have been released. The characters from Final Fantasy X and its sequel were praised by video game publications, owing to their personalities and designs. The English voice acting initially received mixed response, but X 2's dub received a better response.

Tetsuya Nomura was the character designer for Final Fantasy X and X 2. Since art director Yusuke Naora convinced the Square staff to make Final Fantasy X an Asian themed game, Nomura designed the characters to give them an Asian look. Nomura first illustrated the characters' faces and started adding details upon receiving information from the staff. Since the PlayStation 2's capabilities allowed for featuring more detail, Nomura did so with the characters and asked the staff to make them consistent. Since both the player and the main character find themselves in a new world, Nojima wanted Tidus' understanding of the world to reflect the player's progress, a connection that allowed the player to advance Tidus' first person narration of most of Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X features innovations in the rendering of characters' facial expressions, achieved through motion capture and skeletal animation technology. This technology allowed animators to create realistic lip movements, which were then programmed to match the speech of the game's voice actors. Nojima has revealed that the inclusion of voice acting enabled him to express emotion more powerfully than before, and he was therefore able to keep the storyline simple. He also said that the presence of voice actors led him to make various changes to the script, in order to match the voice actors' personalities with the characters they were portraying. Despite being worried about the inclusion of voice acting, Nomura was satisfied when hearing their clips, as he said that the characters became full of life. Before starting development of Final Fantasy X 2, Square had planned to make a game following the story of Jecht, Auron and Braska ten years before the events of FFX, but they felt that they would end with a "traditional game". For X 2, while Nomura still remained as character designer, Tetsu Tsukamoto designed the new costumes of the main characters to distance the game from its predecessor. The outfits are meant to represent the changes in the world of Spira after two years of peace. The use of three female characters was inspired by multiple films that depict strong female leads. To reinforce this concept, the staff made sure to make the protagonists still look feminine while changing into multiple type of warriors such as the Samurai form, in which the characters wield large swords.

Sin (シン) is an enormous creature that moves through Spira's oceans in its attacks towards mankind, killing many people and destroying towns. It is also capable of flight. Sin's form is vaguely whale like in appearance, though vastly more massive and the creature is able to release remnants known as Sinspawns. Scenario writer Kazushige Nojima compared Sin to a typhoon due to the disaster it causes in the world. Summoners are tasked with destroying Sin using a creature known as the Final Aeon, sacrificing themselves so Spira can enjoy a peaceful period known as the Calm until Sin is reborn. Unbeknownst to most of Spira, the Final Aeon is made from the fayth of one of the summoner's own guardians and is possessed by the spirit of Yu Yevon, Sin's creator, to be transformed into a new Sin after the previous Sin is destroyed. After the Final Aeon destroys the body or armor of the previous Sin, Yu Yevon possesses the Final Aeon and kills the summoner. Yu Yevon then uses the possessed Aeon's power to create a new Sin, with Jecht being the current incarnation during the events of Final Fantasy X. At the end of the game, the party fights and destroys each aeon possessed by Yu Yevon to draw him out into the open so that he can be destroyed. As Yu Yevon does not possess an aeon, it leaves him unable to create a new Sin. The final death of Sin marks the beginning of the Eternal Calm, as Spira is freed from its cycle of death and destruction.

Yu Yevon (エボン ジュ) is the ruler of the original Zanarkand and Lady Yunalesca's father. Near the end of the war between Zanarkand and Bevelle, Yu Yevon and the remaining townspeople and summoners decided to preserve the overpowered Zanarkand at all costs. They all became fayth for the summoning of "Dream Zanarkand" and, after drawing upon millions of pyreflies with Gravity spells, he created Sin. The mental effort necessary to create both Dream Zanarkand and Sin essentially wiped Yu Yevon's mind clean and overwrote it with his final command: summon Dream Zanarkand and continuously create Sin. If Sin is destroyed, he recreates it by possessing the Final Aeon that defeats it. Unlike other deceased people, Shuyin is called a "shadow" of his original self, being able to take a physical form. This allows him to possess people or fayths, using their aeons to help him. He is eventually defeated and reunited with Lenne before they fade away.

Cid (Final Fantasy) (Cid) is the leader of the Al Bhed, Brother and Rikku's father, and Yuna's maternal uncle. He is responsible for bringing the Al Bhed together after Yevon scattered it years before the events of Final Fantasy X, and for abducting summoners after Braska's Calm to ensure that summoners after him, especially Yuna, would not needlessly sacrifice themselves to destroy Sin. This attack ultimately results in the Guado race attacking the Al Bhed's Home, forcing Cid to destroy it. He uses the airship his children salvaged, dubbed the Fahrenheit, to aid Tidus and company in fighting Sin. After being saved from an ancient Machina, Cid goes on board the Gullwings' Celsius, much to Brother's dismay. However, by Final Fantasy X 2 International + Last Mission, Cid returns to make business in Mt. Gagazet alongside his son.

Brother (アニキ) is Cid's 18 year old son, Rikku's older brother, Braska's nephew, and Yuna's cousin. Brother participates in the Al Bhed expedition to salvage an airship from the ocean floor, where he meets Tidus. Eventually, he goes on to support his struggle against Sin and Yu Yevon as the pilot of the salvaged Fahrenheit. In Final Fantasy X 2, Brother is the pilot of his own airship, the Celsius, and leader of the Gullwings sphere hunter group alongside Buddy (ダチ) and Shinra (シンラ). Having fallen out with Cid after the events of Final Fantasy X, they frequently — and unsuccessfully — try to bury the hatchet and make up. He has feelings for Yuna, and often flirts with her, much to Rikku's disgust. However, Brother eventually resigns himself to an unrequited love, preferring the Yuna he knew as two years ago compared to how she is now. In International + Last Mission, Brother helps his father with his business in Mt. Gagazet.

Lord Braska (ブラスカ) is Yuna's father, Cid's brother in law, and Rikku and Brother's uncle. He is the summoner who defeated Sin and brought the Calm ten years before the events in Final Fantasy X, earning him the title of High Summoner. During a mission to repair relations with the Al Bhed, Braska met and fell in love with Cid's sister, and the two got married. A few years after Yuna's birth, Sin killed Braska's wife; as a result, Braska decided to become a summoner and embarked on a pilgrimage with his guardians, Auron and Jecht, to defeat Sin. People were initially skeptical about his and his guardians' ability to defeat Sin, but Braska reached Zanarkand, where he sacrificed himself to turn Jecht into the Final Aeon and defeat Sin.

Maechen (メイチェン) is an elderly itinerant historian who often tells Tidus the history and origins of all things related to Spira. Although he seems to be an ordinary inhabitant of Spira, he reveals himself in Final Fantasy X 2 to be an unsent from Zanarkand who used to live before the city was destroyed, and was so engrossed in his studies that he forgot he died of old age. His memories of his time in Zanarkand are rekindled when he shakes Yuna's hand and realizes her resemblance to Lenne.

Dona (ドナ) is a 26 year old female summoner who mocks Yuna for having a large group of guardians, while remarking that Lord Braska only needed two. Her guardian is Barthello (バルテロ), an admirer of Auron who is significantly more friendly than Dona. After escaping from Home in the Airport, Tidus can influence Dona to either continue or quit her pilgrimage. In Final Fantasy X 2, Dona has joined the Youth League while Barthello has sided with New Yevon. Despite being on opposite sides of the conflict, they still have feelings for one another, which lead them to make up later.

Isaaru (イサール) is a summoner guarded by his younger brothers Pacce (パッセ) and Maroda (マローダ). Isaaru has looked up to Braska since he was a child and sets up a challenge with Yuna to see who will defeat Sin first. At Besaid, the Al Bhed kidnap Isaaru's party and are present at Home's destruction. Yo Mika later sends him to prevent Yuna from escaping the Via Purifico, and reluctantly fights her with his Aeons. After being defeated, he remains in Bevelle to preserve order along with Pacce and Maroda. The three brothers part ways in Final Fantasy X 2. Isaaru helps out with the Ruin Tours in Zanarkand,

Gippal (ギップル) is the founder of the Al Bhed Machine Faction group, which pioneers in machina research. Despite possessing heavy military power, they prefer to avoid interventions in politics and remain neutral. Gippal is also a former candidate for the Crimson Squad, who once served with Nooj and Baralai. Baralai is also a former Crimson Squad candidate who becomes involved in Shuyin's quest of revenge. Shuyin later possesses him to control Vegnagun, but leaves him upon Vegnagun's destruction. Shortly afterwards, Baralai reconciles with his old friends. In the audio drama Final Fantasy X Will , Baralai is chancellor of the Spira Council, which has replaced the New Yevon organization.

Critical reception to the characters from Final Fantasy X and X 2 has been positive. The cast from X has been well received by IGN's David Smith for their characteristics which avoided clichés, commenting that supporting cast was "rock solid". IGN also appreciated the variety of characters based on Spira's regions, favorably comparing it with the ones from Final Fantasy VII and IX. GameSpot writer Greg Kasavin found the game's cast entertaining and emphasized how different was Tidus from previous Final Fantasy heroes in terms of personality yet still was appealing. Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell noted how the character development from the main cast "converge to bind the group and the player on an emotional level" and stated that thanks to the animation, the game is "transformed into more of a movie than a game at times". Additionally, Tidus and Yuna have been listed by several publications as one of the best couples in gaming. GameSpot cited the romance's progress across the game as one of its strongest elements, while GamesRadar referred to it as a realistic relation. The main cast of Final Fantasy X 2 was also praised with writers comparing the trio with the protagonists from Charlie's Angels. Raymond Padilla from GameSpy also praised the game's visual which resulted in appealing character designs. The change of several designs in Final Fantasy X 2 resulted in mixed reactions with GameSpot criticizing "a dominantly lighthearted tone" in comparison to X darker atmosphere, while IGN praised the clothing designs, combining "proven and recognizable Final Fantasy styles" with a "revealing neo modern fashion sense". The voice casting was praised by Game Revolution who noted most of them were "above average". Bramwell was more critical owing to the lack lipsynching and unsuitable tones that made him wonder why could not the gamers listen to the original Japanese audio. Criticism to the English acting in Final Fantasy X was aimed towards James Arnold Taylor's and Hedy Burress's portrayal of Tidus and Yuna, respectively, in comparison to the original Japanese delivery which made the characters less interesting. The English release of Final Fantasy X 2 won the Seventh Annual Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences award in 2004 for Outstanding Achievement in Character Performance in recognition of the character Rikku.
