CHARACTERS
FINAL FANTASY X is about a summoner named Yuna and her quest to destroy a
mysterious force known as “Sin.” You must guide the main character, Tidus, through the
many events of the game. Here we introduce the characters that accompany Yuna along
her journey. Note that each character has a unique area of expertise, and can equip
different weapons and armor. Review their strengths so you can use them to your
advantage on the battlefield.
6
TIDUS
Tidus is a cheerful, rising blitzball star
playing for the Zanarkand Abes. He has
long hated his father, who was a renowned
player himself before his untimely death.
Tidus’s quick moves allow him to attack
even the swiftest foes with ease.
YUNA
Daughter of High Summoner Braska.
Honest and determined, Yuna embarks on
a pilgrimage to obtain the Final Aeon and
defeat Sin. Yuna is learning the mystical
art of summoning aeons—powerful spirits
of yore.
WAKKA
Coach and captain of the local blitzball team,
the Besaid Aurochs. Wakka plans to retire from
the sport after this year’s tournament, so that
he can devote himself fully to serving as Yuna’s
guardian. His deadly blitzball is especially
useful for knocking down aerial enemies.
LULU
One of Yuna’s guardians. She and Wakka think
of Yuna as a younger sister. Lulu’s stoic and
self-possessed nature makes her seem
insensitive at times. She specializes in the art
of black magic, using various dolls to help cast
powerful spells.
KIMAHRI RONSO
A powerful warrior of the Ronso tribe. Kimahri
has watched over Yuna from her youngest
days. He speaks little, but is deeply devoted
to Yuna and serves her loyally as a guardian.
Kimahri can learn enemy skills with his
Lancet ability.
AURON
The legendary guardian who, together with High
Summoner Braska, defeated Sin ten years ago.
A man of few words, he guides Yuna and Tidus
on their mission to vanquish Sin once more.
He swings his gigantic sword with such power
that even the toughest fiends are cut asunder.
RIKKU
A young Al Bhed girl. Her personality is upbeat
and positive, and she is not afraid to speak her
mind. She works hard to restore her outcast
people to their former glory. Rikku handles
mechanical enemies with ease, and can steal
items from enemies, too.
