In a 2001 interview with the game's character designer Tetsuya Nomura published in the V-Jump magazine, he stated that he used the same approach to making character designs from Final Fantasy VIII for this game. The first thing he did was draw just the character's face, and then he discusses with the team on how "realistic" the design should be. After that he'd asked about the backstories for each character and use that to figure out the details of their designs; for example asking if they were an athletic, sportsy type, or are they are a summoner type of character. Nomura also stated that a big consideration for the game was that the world has an "Asian" vibe to it, so he tried to be conscious of that style while at the same time making sure the main characters didn't look too familiar between each other. The team asked Nomura that he only made the main protagonist Tidus stand apart somewhat from the overall world, so Tidus' design is very distinct from the Asian aesthetic.

According to a 2001 developer interview published in V-Jump magazine, the game's character designer Tetsuya Nomura stated the main character's name, Tiida (Tidus in the international release), was the Okinawan word for "sun". After Final Fantasy VIII, the team wanted to give their next main character a brighter and more cheerful personality. Kazushige Nojima gave Tiida his name, and Nomura thought he had a "bright" motif for the character in mind considering his name's meaning.

At the 2017 Emerald City Comic Con during a panel with American voice actor John DiMaggio, he explained that he was told to make Wakka's voice sound like an islander, with an island accent. At the time, he broke up with his girlfriend from Hawaii, so he came up with some Hawaiian impersonations which landed him the role of Wakka.

According to a 2001 developer interview published in V-Jump magazine, the game's composer Nobuo Uematsu stated his team started including theme songs in the Final Fantasy games since Final Fantasy VIII, and that each time, Uematsu & Yoshinori Kitase would hold a meeting to decide who would sing the theme song. The developers brought in various music CDs of singers they liked to listen to and would share their opinions. At some point during the meeting for Final Fantasy X's theme song, they could not decide on who to pick. Around the same time, a member from their staff happened to buy one of Rikki’s independent releases at a CD shop, and showed it to Uematsu. He loved it after listening to it, and said in a excited mood "This is great!", leading the team to contact Rikki right away to perform the song, called "Suteki Da Ne", for the game. Uematsu considered it a memorable song for FFX, and that from the beginning the music would be a central part of the soundtrack.

In a 2001 V-Jump magazine interview with the game's art director Yusuke Naora, he was asked where the idea for an "asian" themed world came from? He responded:
"Let’s see… after the cyberpunk and “near-future” settings of VII and VIII, we returned to our roots with FFIX. So the question became, what should we do next…? And to be honest, that question vexed us. Around that time, I happened to be looking through some books and travel pamphlets and randomly thought to myself, “you know, Asia is really nice too…” There haven’t been many fantasy games in that kind of setting. There have been games set in China, or with a Chinese atmosphere, but nothing with a Southeast Asian or similar setting. So I thought I’d try drawing some pictures to flesh out this vision I had, when lo and behold, I read Kazushige Nojima’s script and by chance it turned out to have the same feeling. Then it was like, OK, now we’ve got to do this. We all brainstorm ideas on our own, but when we meet up and share them, the ideas that happen to be similar to each other are always good ones."

Final Fantasy X, like other games in the series, features many references to real world religions and their history. This game in particular alludes to the conflicts between Christianity and Gnosticism; it also depicts the corruption possible within organized religion, and how it can lead to an inversion of its own doctrine.

Cloud's Buster Sword was originally intended for use by Tidus but was removed before the game was released. It is still in the game's code, though, and using hacking tools, it can be obtained and used in the final version.

Lulu's dress in Final Fantasy X was designed by Tetsuya Nomura specifically to see if the graphic designers could keep the exact number of belts in the right places every time. This is why many cutscenes with her show Lulu from the waist up or from behind.

In Tidus's early development, he originally had darker colored hair. It was changed, most likely because his name means "Sun" in Okinawan, and the developers wanted the color of his hair to reflect that.

Tidus is never actually directly referred to by his name in audible dialogue. People will refer to him with impersonal pronouns. This is due to the player being able to name Tidus at the start of the game, and this being Square Enix's first voiced Final Fantasy game, they weren't sure how to handle a variable name. Tidus' name pronunciation has been debated, but was confirmed to be pronounced "Tee-Dus" by James Arnold Taylor, the voice actor for Tidus.
