Playable characters

• Tidus (ティーダ Tīda) - Tidus is a skilled player of blitzball and belongs to the Zanarkand Abes - originally his fathers team - who ended up in the world of Spira thanks to Sin and becomes one of Yuna's guardians. Tidus is usually a cheerful and confident person, but mostly because he lacks the knowledge of the truth behind Yuna's journey. Throughout the story, Tidus is shown to have bad relations with his father. In battle, his weapon of choice is the Brotherhood, the blue-bladed sword seen on the front of the game's DVD case (given to him by Wakka, in rememberance of Chappu, Wakka's younger brother), and his particular prowess is in hitting agile foes. His ultimate weapon is the Caladbolg. His Overdrives, in Final Fantasy tradition, involve barrages of sword attacks, and their damage can be enhanced by split-second button inputs. His name is "Tida" or "Tiida" in the Japanese version of the game.
• Yuna (ユウナ Yuuna)- Yuna is a summoner, a champion of the people of Spira. She has taken on the duty as a summoner to defeat the immortal entity known as Sin; her task is ever more difficult because she is burdened with the fact that her father (Summoner Braska) was the man who defeated Sin ten years earlier; and so she is forced to take on his legacy being expected to achieve only perfection in her journey. Her class allows her to fit the traditional cleric/white mage role of the party, as well as being able to summon powerful magical entities (aeons). Her weapons are a variety of staves, with her ultimate staff being the Nirvana. It is Yuna's responsibility as a summoner to journey to every temple, acquire the aeon there, and ultimately summon the Final Aeon to defeat Sin; the other party members are merely there to safeguard her passage. Her Overdrive, Grand Summon, brings an Aeon in with a fully-charged Overdrive meter, regardless of what it had before.
• Auron (アーロン Āron) - The enigmatic Auron is a powerful warrior, attacking with his blades with stunning force. Ultimately, Auron can wield the Masamune, a frequently recurring weapon in Squaresoft games. Auron's quiet, mysterious, and dangerous nature helped make him very popular with fans. His Bushido Overdrives use arcade-style button inputs to increase damage. A while after the dissapearance of Tidus' father, Auron became Tidus' guardian, watching over him (claiming it as a returned favor for Tidus' father).
• Wakka (ワッカ Wakka) - Wakka is a blitzball player from the isle of Besaid who meets Tidus after he washes ashore and serves as Tidus' first good friend. Wakka is fiercely loyal to the Yevon religion, and introduces Tidus to the teachings of the Yevonites. He is very distrustful of the Al Bhed, and is shown to have problematic issues with Rikku when they first meet. Wakka is like an older brother to Yuna, and is very protective of her. He also shows signs of affection for Lulu. His weapon is a blitzball, useful against aerial enemies, and his ultimate weapon is the blitzball World Champion. His Overdrive, Slots, can have varying effects depending on what kind of slot he uses (elemental, status-affliction and Blitzball are only three examples). His overdrives are obtained as Blitzball Tournament prizes.
• Kimahri Ronso (キマリ・ロンゾ Kimari Ronzo) - Kimahri is Yuna's first and most faithful guardian. He has known and protected Yuna since she was a child. However, he was not well accepted by the other Ronso, who view him as inferior due to his short stature (although he still towers over the non-Ronso characters) and his broken horn. Kimahri doesn't speak much, and is very protective of Yuna. In Kimahri's class one can see echoes of the dragoons of older Final Fantasy games (weapon choice, a jump attack) and of blue mage classes (the lancet ability lets him learn enemy attacks, which he deploys in his Overdrive, Ronso Rage). Kimrahi's Spirit Lance is his ultimate weapon, and it can be noted that spear or lance weapons have been a staple of the dragoon class for some time. In terms of gameplay, Kimahri is the only character lacking a pre-determined course on the Sphere Grid, allowing the player to choose his abilities and talents from the beginning.
• Lulu (ルールー Rūrū) - Lulu is another of Yuna's guardians; the most protective out of Yuna's guardians, She is a gloomy person, but is kind hearted towards Yuna and her friends. Lulu is a black mage, and uses a variety of dolls as weapons. Her ultimate weapon is the Onion Knight (notable both for being a character from an earlier Final Fantasy game, and being the result of dodging a maddening 200 consecutive bolts of lightning on the Thunder Plains). She is initially very skeptical of Tidus' participation in the quest, and of his "amnesia", but even the grumpy Lulu ultimately accepts Tidus' involvement in the party. Her Overdrive, Fury, allows the player to cast multiple spells for free by quickly rotating the right analog stick.
• Rikku (リュック Ryukku) - Rikku helps Tidus when he first arrives in Spira, but then disappears from the plot for a while, becoming the last character to join the team. Rikku has a variety of clawlike weapons, her ultimate equipment being the Godhand. Rikku's class is most similar to that of a thief from earlier Final Fantasys, combined with the Alchemist job of Final Fantasy V. Rikku's ability to steal, use a subset of items that no one else can, and, as her Overdrive, Mix two of any item for greater effect, makes her one of the most versatile characters in the party. Rikku has a fear of lightning, due to an accident involving Brother (His true name is never revealed) attempting to cast a lightning spell on a fiend, but accidentally hitting her. Her attitude is a bit childish but none the less cheerful and positive of things. Although she is an Al Bhed, she is Yuna's cousin. Her name is "Ryukku" in the Japanese version.

Non-player characters

• Lady Yunalesca (ユウナレスカ Yuunaresuka): She was an ancient summoner from the ruined city of Zanarkand. Yunalesca was the daughter of Yu Yevon who became Sin in the war against the technologically-advanced city of Bevelle. She held the secret of the "Final Summoning", which allowed the summoner to convert someone into an Aeon. Yunalesca converted her husband Zaon into an Aeon and used him to destroy Sin's body. However, Yu Yevon simply infested itself like a parasite into the body of the Aeon, turning it into a new Sin over time. Yunalesca was defeated by Yuna and her Guardians when Lady Yunalesca attacked the group when Yuna refused to allow one of her guardians to be transformed into a Final Aeon. One of the more noted things about Yunalesca is, when battling her, she deploys an (unintentionally) humorous bitchslap-like attack.
• Zaon: He was the husband of Lady Yunalesca and also lived in the city of Zanarkand. Zaon allowed Yunalesca to turn him into an Aeon and cause the cycles of Sin's rampages and the Calm periods.
• Cid (シド Shido): Leader of the Al Bhed, Rikku's father and Yuna's maternal uncle. The gang used his airship to fight Sin.
• Isaaru (イサール Isāru): A summoner, like Yuna, travelling to temples scattered across Spira until he is ready to battle Sin, with his brothers Pacce and Maroda as his guardians. Since he was a child, he has always looked up to Lord Braska. He sets up a challenge with Yuna to see who will defeat Sin first. When Yuna is thrown into the Via Purifico, Issaru is sent to prevent her and her guardians from exiting, until she defeats him in a Aeon battle.
• Dona (ドナ Dona): Another summoner, and a rival of Yuna. She mocks Yuna's large group of guardians, remarking that Lord Braska only needed two guardians. Quality over quantity, she says, even though her guardian is not the strongest fighter around.
• Luzzu and Gatta: Two members of the Crusaders, originally from Besaid, who were sent to participate in the ill-fated Operation Mi'ihen. One of them is killed, depending on the player's previous actions.
• Maester Seymour Guado (シーモア・グアドShīmoa Guado): A half-Guado half-human, he is the son of Jyscal Guado, leader of the Guado. Seymour's supposed benevolence is exposed later in the game, as Seymour is actually an increasingly twisted character with a dark and tragic past. He intends to use Yuna to become the next Sin and thereby bring complete destruction to Spira. His human mother sacrificed herself to become the Aeon Anima. Seymour can be played once, during a battle in Operation Mi'ihen. During this fight, he gets AP that has absolutely no purpose whatsoever. This is also the only time to see his Overdrive attack.
• Maester Jyscal Guado: Seymour's father, later killed by his son. He worked hard to foster friendship between man and Guado and taught the Guado about Yevon. For this he was appointed a Maester of Yevon. He married a human woman, but when Seymour was born, he had to exile them both to Baaj Temple for their safety.
• Maester Mika (ヨー・マイカ Yō Maika): Grand Maester of Yevon, who has ruled for 50 years. He in some ways supports the insane-minded Seymour, but not completely. When Yuna prepares to send the dead Seymour to the Farplane, Mika threatens to kill her guardians, so she has to capitulate and go through her marriage to Seymour. When she asks him to send Seymour at her trial, Mika reveals he would send himself too, as he is also dead. When he learns that Yunalesca had been elimanated along with the 'Final Summoning', he sent himself so he won't have to "see Spira die."
• Brother (アニキ Aniki): Rikku's brother. Pilot of the Cid's airship.
• Tromell: A Guado and personal assistant to both Jyscal and Seymour. When Seymour is killed, he destroys Jyscal's sphere telling about Seymour.
• O'aka XXIII: A merchant who sells weapons and items. He asks for money when the player meets him early in the game, and if the player gives him enough, his prices for the items & weapons he sells will be lower later in the game. He's interested in Yuna in particular as she looked like his late sister, also a summoner.
• Rin: An Al Bhed merchant, he boasts having the lowest prices. Runs "Rin's Travel Agency". He tells Tidus' group about the Al Bhed Primers.
• Maester Wen Kinoc (ウェン・キノック Wen Kinokku): Maester who is in charge of the military branches of Yevon: the Crusaders (who battle Sin) and the Warrior Monks (who specifically defend Bevelle but who also defend various towns and cities from time to time). He and Auron were once Warrior Monks together, and were both eligible for the same promotion, but Kinoc got it because Auron left the order after an embarrassing incident. For some reason, Kinoc is the only human character in the game with both a first and last name (unless, of course, "Wen" is part of his title).
• Jecht (ジェクト Jekuto): The father of Tidus and Zanarkand's star Blitzball player. Many years prior to Tidus, he was telported to Spira, where he became Lord Braska's guardian.
• The Besaid Aurochs: The Blitzball team of which Wakka was the former captain. Other members of the team include Botta, Datto, Letty, Jassu, and Keepa. They have never won a game, but have the chance to win the championship against the Luca Goers depending on the player's skill.
• Maechen: An old scholar who studies the history of Spira.
• Lucil (ルチル Ruchiru): Captain of the Djose Chocobo Knights. Along with Elma, she has been ordered to guard the Highroad, due to reports of a large fiend appearing in the area with a taste for chocobos.
• Shelinda (シェリンダ Sherinda): She is a disciple of Yevon, distraught over the fact that the Crusaders were using machina, which is strongly forbidden by Yevon priesthood.
• Maester Kelk Ronso (ケルク・ロンゾ Keruku Ronzo): A Maester of Yevon and leader of the Ronso Tribe. He leaves Bevelle after learning that Seymour killed his father and returns to Mt. Gagazet. He is soon after killed by Seymour while attempting to prevent Seymour from reaching Yuna on Mt. Gagazet.

Aeons

Aeons are the "physical-forms" the Summoners give to the Fayth, the spirits whom a Summoner visits to gain its blessing. There are a total of ten aeons in Final Fantasy X (although the Magus Sisters act together and therefore count as one, leaving a total of eight aeons). Of these, Anima, Yojimbo and the Magus Sisters are not necessarily acquired in a normal game, but the player can gain them through side-quests. The Latin word æon means forever. ...

Valefor: Obtained after the Cloister of Trials in Besaid Temple.

• Special attack: Sonic Wings A sweep of Valefor's wings will temporarily stun an enemy and delay their turn.
• Overdrive: Energy Ray and Energy Blast. Valefor is the only Aeon with a second, secret Overdrive, which can be obtained in Besaid Village.

Ifrit: An aeon who deals with fire. Obtained in Kilika Temple.

• Special attack: Meteor strike Ifrit conjures a small meteor to hit an enemy for fire damage.
• Overdrive: Hellfire.

Ixion: Obtained after the trials in Djose Temple. A Unicorn who uses electricity.

• Special attack: Aerospark A blast of lightning that negates all spell effects on the enemy.
• Overdrive: Thor's Hammer.

Shiva: A lady that uses ice attacks. Obtained during the first fight with Seymour Guado.

• Special attack: Heavenly strike A piece of ice smashes the enemy for ice damage, and may delay a turn.
• Overdrive: Diamond Dust.

Bahamut: Obtained after the trials in Bevelle Temple. Bahamut is the King of Dragons and the most powerful standard (i.e. not-secret) aeon. Its Fayth (a young boy) appears throughout the game as he is the one who brought Tidus and Yuna together so the Fayth can end their dreaming.

• Special attack: Impulse Four lumps of dark magic are conjured by Bahamut, and hit multiple enemies for non-elemental damage.
• Overdrive: Mega Flare. He also has the notable ability to break the damage limit (9999 damage) as soon as he is obtained with no augmentation.

Anima: Obtained in Baaj Temple, Anima has a powerful overdrive. Anima's Fayth is the tortured soul of Seymour's mother, and her pain and suffering theme comes from her, who suffers, for her son was turned into a power-hungry maniac when he was able to access Anima's incredible power. The player has to find all the destruction spheres from all the trials and use them in the trials to find a hidden treasure. The player must revisit Highbridge before he or she does the trials in Zanarkand, and after the trials in Zanarkand are completed, the boss must be defeated. After that seven squares should be displayed in the first room; light up all the squares and the player will find the destruction sphere, which is used to find the treasure. The player must then go to Baaj Temple, jump into the water, fight Geosgaeno, then enter and stand in front of the statues. If all the statues are lit up, the player will receive the aeon Anima. Anima can break the damage limit of 9999 initially.

• Special Attack: Pain Anima conjures the essence of misery and anguish, and blasts the enemy with non-elemental energy, but only if the instant death effect doesn't kill the enemy first.
• Overdrive: Oblivion.

Yojimbo: In Japanese, yojimbo means a hired bodyguard. As such, the player must hire Yojimbo first and then pay him whenever he is to attack. The fayth of Yojimbo was stolen long ago from his temple and hidden in the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, presumably so that Summoners would not be able to complete their pilgrimage and thus be spared their lives. To obtain Yojimbo, the player must confront Lulu's former (now deceased) summoner, and fight and defeat Yojimbo. Then upon entering the Chamber of the Fayth the player may hire Yojimbo. If the player wants Yojimbo "to defeat the most powerful of enemies" he will offer his lowest price, 250'000 gil, but he can be bargained down to under 200'000 gil. If his asking price is tripled at any time, the player receives 2 Teleport Spheres as a bonus. The player cannot actually choose an attack; what attack he performs is based on several factors, most notably how much gil he is paid for the attack and his current compatibility to Yuna. Yojimbo has only 4 attacks:

• Daigoro (his dog will attack)
• Kozuka (he throws knives)
• Wakizashi (he draws his sword and slices one or all enemies)
• Zanmato (kills any enemy in the game, including bosses)

• Overdrive: Increased chance of using Zanmato.

The Magus sisters: Three very powerful sisters, summoned as one. To obtain the Magus sisters, the player must already have both Anima and Yojimbo, the Flower Sceptre (obtained by defeating Bahamut) and the Blossom Crown (obtained by capturing monsters for the monster arena). Ride a Chocobo to the right of the entrance from Macalania, interact with the feather on the ground and enter Remiem Temple. Talk to Belgemine, fight all the aeons, then enter the Chamber of the Fayth. The player's control over the sisters is somewhat limited, with commands in battle to "Fight", "Do as you will", "Help each other", "One more time" and "Go, go, go", though they often do as they please. :

• Special Attacks: Sometimes, they may use their special attacks:

• Mindy's Passado: Mindy fires fifteen stingers at the enemy, Damage per hit is average, but fifteen hits at once more than makes up for it.
• Sandy's Razzia: Sandy launches two blades of fire from her wrists for large physical damage.
• Cindy's Camisade: Cindy jumps into the air and slams onto the enemy with her back.

• Overdrive: Delta Attack The longest and most powerful of the attacks.

Penance, the superboss of Final Fantasy X: International and the game's U.K version.

The International Version of Final Fantasy X also features Dark Aeons as enemies in a side-quest.
