Final Fantasy X/Trivia

--
 * Each character's standard progression in the Sphere Grid is reminiscent of at least one Job Class from previous Final Fantasy games. Tidus is a Fighter-Time Mage combination, Yuna is a typical White Mage/Summoner, Lulu is a pure Black Mage, Wakka is an odd take on an Archer-Green Mage fusion, Auron is a FFT-style Knight, Kimahri is a cross between a Dragoon, a Blue Mage and a Red Mage, and Rikku is a wonderful blend between a Thief and a Chemist.
 * Tidus and Yuna's Japanese voice actors, Masakazu Morita and Mayuko Aoki, previously did the motion capture for Zell and Rinoa in Final Fantasy VIII. Mayuko Aoki also mocapped Edea and Garnet, and voiced Selphie for Kingdom Hearts.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Wakka and Kimahri are Bender
 * Rikku is Bubbles!
 * Tidus is Ratchet!
 * Isaaru managed to avoid drowning! And he's Axel.
 * Japanese Auron is Modern Ryoma!
 * Jecht is Grimlock!
 * Love It or Hate It: James Arnold Taylor has said about his Love It or Hate It Tidus voice that he was presented to him as an angst-ridden, somewhat spoiled teenager who never had to do much but enjoy the cheers from the fans until he's thrown into a whole different world which changes him. This is why his narrator voice is more controlled.
 * No Export For America: The US didn't get the International version, only the PAL regions and Japan.
 * Word of God: Hints in an Ultimania interview that Final Fantasy VII is the Distant Future of the game's world, but likely on another planet.
