If you don't like overly long and slow starts, beware Final Fantasy X e.e"
On these graphics, I'd been playing some GameCube games recently, and it feels like a trend for this console, to go overboard with lighting, excessive amount of details in the scenary, pastel colors when possible, and an almost otherworldly overall feel.
Even Eternal Arcadia Legends, which is a remaster, not even an original GC IP, gets a bit of this treatment. "<.<

Usually the first play through aren’t bad with long starts, but I still loathe them. But I’ll keep that in mind because I think Final Fantasy X is one of the FF games I wanted to try.
I almost wonder for the graphics if it’s because they got all these new processing power. N64 to GameCube was a pretty major jump, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it took them a while longer than a generation how too really make it look good

Iirc, FFX is a ~200h game if you go for optionals, ~80h if you focus mostly on the main story. So if the start takes maybe 3h (at least how long I go about without rushing and without challenges), the start doesn't seem too long.
About looking weird, could be, yeah. Apparently from the SNES to the N64 and PS1 was a major leap too, which gave all those experimental 3D games;
