Final Fantasy X first landed in this world in 2001, and I have probably been obsessed with it ever since. It’s the first game I can recall that pulled me in for anything other than gameplay. The storytelling and music opened up a whole new concept of what a video game could be in my young mind.
RPGs such as this might not be considered typical drinking or party games, but we’re not here to discriminate. To honor Final Fantasy X’s 15 year anniversary, here is a drinking game to help you get sloshed on your next playthrough. It’s a more story-dependent drinking game, since there is a lot of it. Might contain minor spoilers:

Overdrive Used – Drink 2

Character is Permanently Removed From Battle – Drink 5

This is a potential 14 drinks plus a shot right here
Enjoy the game, and let me know in the comments any other frequently occurring moments you’d like to see added to the list!
“Tidus Complains – Drink 2”
This by itself would bring a whole new meaning to “blitzball”

I love Tidus and his rather unique portrayal as a male protagonist that doesn’t have to be overly broody and “manly,” but yes. He sure does know how to bitch and moan at times.
