X is an interesting one for me. It 'reintroduced' me to the series. I grew up on VI, VII, VIII, & IX. X came out in middle school for me and I never picked up a ps2. Fast forward ~20 years, I meet my wife and X is her second favorite which got me to pick the series back up. Aside from sentimental, I enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it's top of the list for me, but it's good game play and story. I think the sphere grid was a cool concept. The temples felt misplaced to me.
Unpopular opinion, but I think the voice acting was good considering it's the first for the franchise and what else was being put out back then.
For sure. This was still at a time when anything better than "tolerable" voice acting was extremely rare in games. I certainly was not sold on the idea when X came out. It was bad by today's standards but good enough to justify its existence, at least.
The list of PS1-era games that were actually made better by voice acting is very short. PaRappa the Rapper, Mega Man Legends, and...uhh...maybe that's it.
