Final Fantasy X's Incredible Progression: Making the Levelling Process Fun

Picture this, you just got a new video game to play and it also just so happens to have some sort of progression system within it to help help you feel more motivated to play the game.

It could be any sort of progression system. It could have EXP requirements, a hugely complex skill tree with branching paths and traits, or just a simple but gradual onslaught of weapons you could pick up that give you bigger numbers with each upgrade to your kit that you're able to find.

These little incremental dopamine hits fuel you to play even more of the game that eventually: You lose track of time and completely forget about the incredibly endearing story of the game after becoming entirely invested in just the gameplay alone.
