hello youtube!! has it been 8 months since i last uploaded on this channel? yes... for those who are unaware, a few months ago i had an issue with a corrupted hard drive that had my FF7 recordings on it. i was in the middle of editing part 2 of my FF7 playthrough when it corrupted, and honestly i lost a lot of motivation to re-edit it. someday those final parts of FF7 will be uploaded, but i'm not sure when. i'm sorry it's been so long but i am happy to finally upload a supercut of my FFX reactions. i really enjoyed playing this game last year, and going back through the footage and editing this video down made me love the game even more. i hope you enjoy watching my playthrough.
1:18:22 Your reaction here is priceless 😂 They hide him from view so well and the shock afterwards like "Bitch!! Why won't you die already!!?" I already know the whole game. So I am also glad you enjoyed it. I won't say whether you will see Tidus again or not but I can say FFX-2 is wacky but fun and you have to do I think 100% i think to see a special scene if I remember. Better to watch the scene on its own later on if you ever play that game and finish it. This game is a piece of my heart. It is so good
Spoiler alert,if you want to skip this message. Tidus is alive and remembers everyone as they showed you a secret ending in part 1. Yuna and tidus are together again in part 2! 🤗😇🇨🇦🇵🇭 Happy Canada day and happy independence day!
What happened to Anima? If you achieved that Aeon you'd unlock a few bonus stoey segments that are rather nice. Also, returning to the temples at the right time before spawning dark aeons allows you to not only get great items where the fayth lay... but you have cut scene conversions with the Fayth!
I feel like I just aged another 22 years just reading this comment. I was like 'no it can't be it can't be 22 years'... but yeah, it sure is... Incredible how even after all this time, I still cry looking back at this. No doubt one of the greatest Final Fantasy games!
I don't remember exactly when I played it first, but it was during my childhood while my estranged father was in prison, who at the time I hated. This game really fucked me up for a good couple of months.
I like how I can't tell if it's a mistake or not. Because on the one hand it seems like they just forgot to put "player" in there, but I can also totally see a kid saying that.
I always loved how the ending didn't just have one tearjerker moment, but several salt-in-the-wound details that really made the pain of their separation stick. Real pain like that doesn't leave you. The physical pain of her head hitting the floor and watching the Fayth rise up, that little overlap when he hugs her, the complexity in her whistling denoting that she's been practicing for weeks and Lulu has to come get her. It's those f'n details, man.
When Yuna says "...or the dreams that have faded..." under her breath is what gets me. Tidus was both a person she lost and a dream that faded. Her dream of spending her days with him after conquering Sin also faded. Poignant.
There's a reason that at *_Distant Worlds_* two songs that they _always_ play are "Aerith's Theme" & "To Zanarkand" because they hit that certain something in your heart instantly. Thanks for sharing your FFX experience with us!!
One of my casual TH-cam hobbies is once every other month or so, looking up new first-time playthroughs of FFX to relive the twists, turns, and emotions of this game through someone else. This one was really good. Ending always makes me cry no matter how many times I see it. Just one of the most masterful video game stories ever told.
You know, I thought I had gotten over this ending. Held it together through Tidus disappearing and everything. Then it cuts to Yuna whistling at the sea for Tidus. Ugh. God only knows how long she's been doing that. Breaks my heart, man.
I had a significant other pass away in a car accident 10 years ago. I get to late game and my desire to spend the time in cutscenes that just hurt dies off fast. Some days I still feel like I'm whistling at the sea. The end of the game makes me feel like I'm screaming at the sea instead of whistling.
Thank you for playing the game and showing such genuine emotion. I'm 33 now but I played this when it came out and it's one of my biggest childhood memories that I hold very dear. I'm not a very emotional person but I cried once again reminiscing about the old days, getting to experience their story and just the wonder of gaming in itself. Again, thank you for this video!
My Aeons were so strong they kept messing me up in the last fight. I trained Yuna and the aeons way harder than the rest of my team. Literally every fight for me was a summon fight. I loved that system.
I was 17 when this came out and I remember plowing through it during Christmas break 2001. This game broke me. For a whole generation of gamers, FF7 taught us how to deal with loss, FFX taught us what true love was. I remember by mom walking in my room during the ending to check on me as I was ugly crying. I couldn't tell if she was relived or disappointed that it was from a videogame. lol
I was only 12 at the time, but got FFX and Kingdom Hearts 1 for Christmas. BEST CHRISTMAS EVER! Probably spent the entire holidays in my room with a tiny old TV lol
I want to preface what I am about to say by stating that FF 7 is legitimately my favourite game, of all time. [I have a lot of games I love, including this one, but it's not even close between 7 and the rest, really] However, I can't agree with the statement that it taught people how to grieve. For me, playing it for the first time in, I believe 1998 as a 14 year old, it taught me that character's you can grow attached to, can get killed off, and that can have a big affect on your experience. And yes, I was PO when they did what they did to you know who, [don't know why I'm trying not to spoil it, the games 27 years old, we're way past spoiler territory] for multiple reasons, but one of the primary ones was a practical one. But FF 7 never taught me how to deal with loss. Because, knowing this from personal experience, NOTHING can teach you how to deal with grief. When someone you love is gone, and you know you will never see them again, it always stays with you, no matter how much therapy, no matter what techniques you learn to cope with it, grief, it is always a heart beat away and it can be set off at a moments notice. No game, no matter how much you love it, can ever teach you how to deal with it. I still find myself occasionally crying about my mum being gone, and it will be 20 years in 2024, and even typing those words makes me sombre. My point is, trying to say that games can teach people about that sort of thing, it trivialises what is for everyone, a very personal experience, and one that we all go through differently. Ultimately, no fiction can ever mirror what we all go through in real life. And while it may hurt [it undoubtedly will] it's also a good thing. To paraphrase Tidus, we are all on our own stories. [and we all only get 1]
OMG I had the exact same thing happen to me when the game was over, I was ugly crying and my mom came in! she looked so disappointed in me that it was over some game...
FFX is my favourite game of all time, I've shared emotions with this game I have never shared with any other game before, and holds an extremely special place in my heart. Thank you so much for sharing this.... It makes me so happy to see what this game can still bring to people, and how much you enjoyed it. Your own contribution made this a joy to watch, and your personality really shone through. I'm glad I discovered this and look forward to checking out a stream soon as a first time viewer. Thank you again
Same except I was 9 when I got it for my birthday on release, 20-something when the remaster came out, and now almost 30 played it once more and caught so much more this go-around
Same for me, I was about the same age. I remember being blown away by the graphics in 2001 lol. My friend and I played the game so much. I put probably 100 hrs into fully completing that game. Got all the aeons and special weapons. The only th8ng I couldn't do was beat those stupid chocobo races. I had to have my friend beat them and in exchange i did the lightning dodges for him. I hope they remake it at somepoint
Watching this, brings back so much memories, nostalgia, beauty, pain, sadness, the immersion, one of my favorite games of all time, the story telling, a game you didn't want to end, a story you could relate too, i'm crying so hard. Takes me back to simpler times, experiencing this game for the 1st time, it's so powerful
Man this story is such a masterpiece. You get so involved with it and the characters are relatable! I also love how Seymour Flux is universally the biggest difficulty spike for everyone's first play through of the game. This was the iconic fight of the game for sure with the music score too. 😂
As a 13 year old that had never played a RPG or find fantasy the difficulty spike fucked me up 😂😂 I was dumb too 🤣🤣 but once I understood the game was a little easier lol
i did not expect to sit and watch this from beginning to end on a monday night. it's such a pleasure to see someone else experience this for the first time. a true reminder how much of a masterpiece ffx is. thank you for reminding me of this.
I've played this on every system since ps2 and that ending always breaks me. Yuna running after him and falling, Wakka's sad reaction right before Tidus jumps, Yuna whistling. It's so perfect and so beautiful and so damn heartbreaking.
Always happy to see someone play through my first and favorite Final Fantasy. This game always hits home and seeing others experience it is precious. Ending always makes me cry every time. For those that don't know: In Japanese rather than saying "I love you" I believe she says thank you which I feel hits as hard 😢
I agree. It's something like "thank you for helping me on this journey." And I agree that both phrases have the same meaning. They love each other, but I feel the Japanese version shows that Yuna refuses to let it break her, she knows that he has to go. So she thanks him for changing her life, for saving her. This game also has a lot of moments like that, specifically with Jecht and Tidus. The fact that neither of them say the words "I love you" but the feeling is real. One of Tidus' last words are "I hate you" which is his way of telling Jecht that he loves and forgives him. Just like how Jecht can't say it, but he loves his son more then anything and is at peace in the end. So while I prefer the English "I love you" I think both are a perfect encapsulation of love.
FFX genuinely influenced a lot about me. I play piano because of To Zanarkand. I draw and design because of Anima. And I cannot play a game without a good story because of this story. Like nothing compares. Actually really, I dont enjoy playing games much at all. But I can literally go through this game indefinitely. I don't get tired of it. Every little detail is perfect.
I just finished this game a few days ago and I dont know if a story has ever emotionally destroyed me that many times in one day. That water scene was so beautiful and pure tho.
Try nier automata, it's the first game in probably 10 years that's affected me like final fantasy 10 did. You will definitely cry alot more than you did in ffx tho. While the story and everything are beautiful, it's the most brutal thing in existence on the sad emotions. (Just note if you do try it, when u reach the credits the first time, you will only have experienced about 15% of the story, the game continues after, and after the next credits as well, and even further.)
@@garretthubbard930 oh yeah ive already played nier automata a few years back, absolutely loved it. Theres a lot of tragedy and twists in that game, and Emils underground area is incredibly beautiful. I wish I could wipe my memory so I can experience that game for the first time again.
As a Korean who played this game without knowing what they were saying 22 years ago with a guide, I cried my eyes out when I understood what all it meant watching you playing this game. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to feel this game sincerely. What a journey it was with you. I am so happy that I watched this video
As someone who has played FFX many times over many years... Its awesome to see people enjoying this for the first time, and great to see that FFX still gets ya with one hell of an emotional punch to the feels.😄
I'm now a certified tear collector. I go around, watching pretty girls cry at heartfelt moments in video game history. TH-cam is amazing because of this.
I´ve played this game +15 years ago. Still i remembered it as the most emotional game i have ever played. I cried as you did at final. Such a beautiful love story...
im so happy that there are ppl who are still playing this game. Im now 21 yrs old but since i was little i watched my brother playing ffx and kingdom hearts. my childhood was filled with amazing soundracks of those games. and now many years later im still playing ffx and kh. this is prolly my 60th time that i play ffx and i still cant get over it just how much i adore this game. im happy
When the Ronso talk about making their own statue of Yuna with grand horn on head, it's a subtle nod to the Summoner job classes of classic FF games, where they typically worn a horned headband.
ah yes, another reaction where we can enjoy someone going through the same sadness we all experienced. really a Master Class of story telling. When Tidus asks "Was I the only one that didn't know?" it broke me. (also the ending, but that breaks everyone) so glad you enjoyed the game!
A cinematic masterpiece. I quit playing video games a long time ago but I revisit the ending to this all the time as well as FFXV . I wish I recorded my reaction to the first time I saw this.
for someone who has played this game for more than 20 years like me, I really enjoyed watching you play it now, thank you for sharing your game with us, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Easily my favourite game from childhood and I still come back occasionally to relive those moments. Best soundtrack and some of the best characters I’ve ever come to love.
I miss discovering FFX game and story for the first time. Kinda enjoy this journey as I watch your reaction to discovering the story for the first time.
Great video and reactions! FFX is truly something special. My hope and dream is that the rumors prove true and Square Enix has something brewing for FFX and we will be able to visit that world once again. 🙏 ❤
What a ride, reliving the experience of this story. Finding reactionary videos of this type are such a joy. Watching those that are experiencing it for the first time help us that have already, find some of them "first time Feels". Glad to see more than two decades later this timeless classic still hits its mark. Now off the subs bars we go.
I was in high school when this game first came out on the PS2. Played it. Beat it. When re-mastered came out I, of course, bought it and played it..beat again once more. Love the games OST.
I kinda loved revisiting this game by watching this - nice edit! I think I appreciate FFX-2 more each time I think about FFX. It has its flaws, but I think it’s the perfect continuation in a lot of ways. Hope you play it if you haven’t already!
@@BigFry9591 I get it. There’s some parts I’d rather change or remove, sure, but even beyond the gameplay (which I quite like), I think it’s really novel that the sequel even exists. *vague spoilers below* It’s kind of fascinating that a character gets to develop (and lose) a love interest, as well as her entire reason for being, and on top of that, the world has lost its singular pillar (the church of Yevon), and now the creators go: “okay, so what’s next?” So many Final Fantasy games end with you ‘saving the world’, but you leave it completely changed. This is one of the few games to consider what happens to a world that’s forced to deal with that.
Thank you for playing this... Brought back so many great memories, felt like I was watching a friend play through the one of my favourite games I have ever played. Truly thank you.
This is the best. After all those times playing it, it still hits just as hard. Nice job capturing most of the best moments here, and forcing us all to cry along with you at just about every opportunity... 😢 What a game. If it's held up this well after 20 years, it's never gonna get old.
I've played this game upwards of 20 times and I'm still an utter mess by the end of it. This truly is one of if not the best Final Fantasy game to me. Glad you enjoyed it! ❤ PS: Hopefully you plan on playing Final Fantasy X-2! Spira's story doesn't end with X :)
don't watch you, but saw that you did a reaction to FFX and i HAD to see it. Honesly anyone that doesn't cry has no emotions what so ever. Truly believe that, I didn't even cry when my Grandma passed cause I know life and treasured what Me and her had together. but this still makes me tear up anytime i watch it after awhile. Fun fact, the people that did the english Translation to ths fought sqaure to all ends to make it that she said "I love you." It actually never translated to that. But they FOUGHT hard to change it to "I love you." cause it was what should've been said. And i agree with them on this.
Me just finding this video: "Man two hours is too long for a best hits of ffX" One hour into the video: "This editor has me in the palm of their hands, they will take me where I want to be at the right time."
played this game when I was 11(32 now) and it to this day is the only media (movie book or game) that has ever made me cry, and it allways does make me cry.
We were so spoiled in those days. In 5 years from 1997-2001 we got FF VII, VIII, IX, and X. We got 4 fantastic mainline Final Fantasy games in 5 years. Online games aside, it took 17 years for us to get XII, XIII, XV, and XVI. Glad you're enjoying these amazing games and reliving the golden years. Have fun!
Final Fantasy X was my first game that I fell in love with and always bought on every new console that I got. It a amazing story line to it. There also a Final Fantasy X-2 as well which is the second part to it
Tremendo final, es la primera vez que lo juego y hoy lo termine, el final y la escena del beso fueron simplemente arte, llore un montón, una obra de arte total, obra maestra indiscutible.
What happened to Anima? If you achieved that Aeon you'd unlock a few bonus stoey segments that are rather nice. Also, returning to the temples at the right time before spawning dark aeons allows you to not only get great items where the fayth lay... but you have cut scene conversions with the Fayth!
Amazing how old this game is and yet it's still my favourite of all time. Ending gets you every time and the music is just unbelievable. Truly amazing story and a fantastic video. Thanks for sharing!
I always thought it was nostalgia that made me think this game is truly one of the best games ever. Watching you play through it just affirms that 10 probably has the best story of all the FF games. It's my personal opinion because I do love 7,8, and 14's story too.
it's always a pleasure watching someone play one of my favorite games of all time for the first time! thanks for giving me another excuse to cry about this game and its many emotional story beats ~
great playthrough! my favorite FF game of all time! i got this for my birthday when i was 12 and beat it back then. the intense amount of emotions that came out during my first playthrough was a hell of a rollercoaster! im 32 and the feelings are still the same. i still tend to tear up everytime i watch other peoples reactions of this game. the story of this game is a masterpiece, and even sometimes i feel like we could've done without the sequel, which would've made this game/ending that much more sad. it could go either way though, with or without the sequel. hopefully you get to play it! i'll follow you on twitch, i'd love to see your journey through it!
The “Wakka, shut up!”, at 1:02:03 killed me. I laughed my ass off. I love him, but yes, keep it to yourself some times, man. Also, great edit and I loved seeing someone experience this game for the first time.
This is one of most beautiful games i ever played. Story writing and characters 10/10. It is amazing how emotional this game is. Players connection with characters is so strong that game leaves emptyness and sadness after you finish it. When i played game 2nd and 3rd time many years after first playthrough i stoped playing just before last boss fight. Thank you Square Enix for this game. It was really unique experience.
I am almost 47, I was like 24 or 25 when I first played it. For me this is the best game ever. I remember balling my eyes out and feeling embarrassed about it but the game, the story line and subplots were just so good. To this days I think that song Sutek da ni (Sorry I dont know how to spell it) is one of the most beautiful I have ever heard. Glad you finally got to play!
I'm so glad you chose to call him Tide-us lol I have never called him "Tee-dus" either. FFX is pry my all time fave Final Fantasy. Thanks so much for sharing!
Loved your playthrough :) This game is amazing and watching you go through all the feels was a lot of fun. Any plan on playing FFX-2 ? The story and gameplay are IMO much better than the critics give it credit for and it's a nice closure to Yuna's story.

I played this for the first time when I was still in 6th grade. Till this day it still is the best rpg game for me.
Glad to see people playing my favorite game in 2023 . FFX is literally timeless . I replay it like once every 2 years
I guess I don't have strong mentality. this is great game that I only played once. I don't want to feel all those sadness again.
I’m with u man. I play this game once a year lately lol. I go all the way to almost full max sphere grid then stop 😂
@@meep1755 same I still never platinum the game because it takes to much end game grinding 🥲
Xii was better
@@JeremiahEmbury idk about that but that gambit system was fun . FFX combat system & story is better in my opinion
No matter how many times I see this ending it always makes me feel some type of way.
Same either sad or pissed. Really do not like the flash backs.
It’s the ending and when Tidus finds out Yuna will die at the end that always makes me cry.
"𝘐'𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱" is still hilarious to this day😂😂

it's so iconic that they left it in the remaster
Watch the "In a Nutshell" by RabToons.
And he actually becomes a blitzball in FF-X2 after he got killed and became a monster.

I remember playing for a week straight when I was 14. I'm 38 now and have played it 3 more times through the years. Still the best rpg ever
Same except I was 9 when I got it for my birthday on release, 20-something when the remaster came out, and now almost 30 played it once more and caught so much more this go-around
Same for me, I was about the same age. I remember being blown away by the graphics in 2001 lol. My friend and I played the game so much. I put probably 100 hrs into fully completing that game. Got all the aeons and special weapons. The only th8ng I couldn't do was beat those stupid chocobo races. I had to have my friend beat them and in exchange i did the lightning dodges for him. I hope they remake it at somepoint
yes but she is not playing
Watching this, brings back so much memories, nostalgia, beauty, pain, sadness, the immersion, one of my favorite games of all time, the story telling, a game you didn't want to end, a story you could relate too, i'm crying so hard. Takes me back to simpler times, experiencing this game for the 1st time, it's so powerful
Man this story is such a masterpiece. You get so involved with it and the characters are relatable! I also love how Seymour Flux is universally the biggest difficulty spike for everyone's first play through of the game. This was the iconic fight of the game for sure with the music score too. 😂
As a 13 year old that had never played a RPG or find fantasy the difficulty spike fucked me up 😂😂 I was dumb too 🤣🤣 but once I understood the game was a little easier lol
i did not expect to sit and watch this from beginning to end on a monday night. it's such a pleasure to see someone else experience this for the first time. a true reminder how much of a masterpiece ffx is. thank you for reminding me of this.
59:20 This montage of Game Overs = masterpiece 💀💀
I've played this on every system since ps2 and that ending always breaks me. Yuna running after him and falling, Wakka's sad reaction right before Tidus jumps, Yuna whistling. It's so perfect and so beautiful and so damn heartbreaking.
My favorite FF game and one my favorite games of all time full stop. excited to watch!
No other game makes me cry like little baby like the ending of this one. It hurts SO much..
Haha.. ''You'll cry. You're gonna cry. You always cry. See? You're cryin'''.. He was really saying that to all of us.
The story and music made you emotional. Both go very well with each other.
Always happy to see someone play through my first and favorite Final Fantasy. This game always hits home and seeing others experience it is precious. Ending always makes me cry every time.
For those that don't know: In Japanese rather than saying "I love you" I believe she says thank you which I feel hits as hard 😢
I agree. It's something like "thank you for helping me on this journey." And I agree that both phrases have the same meaning. They love each other, but I feel the Japanese version shows that Yuna refuses to let it break her, she knows that he has to go. So she thanks him for changing her life, for saving her. This game also has a lot of moments like that, specifically with Jecht and Tidus. The fact that neither of them say the words "I love you" but the feeling is real. One of Tidus' last words are "I hate you" which is his way of telling Jecht that he loves and forgives him. Just like how Jecht can't say it, but he loves his son more then anything and is at peace in the end.
So while I prefer the English "I love you" I think both are a perfect encapsulation of love.
FFX genuinely influenced a lot about me. I play piano because of To Zanarkand. I draw and design because of Anima. And I cannot play a game without a good story because of this story. Like nothing compares. Actually really, I dont enjoy playing games much at all. But I can literally go through this game indefinitely. I don't get tired of it. Every little detail is perfect.
This game is a masterpiece! So many great moments. Loved watching this!
I just finished this game a few days ago and I dont know if a story has ever emotionally destroyed me that many times in one day. That water scene was so beautiful and pure tho.
Try nier automata, it's the first game in probably 10 years that's affected me like final fantasy 10 did. You will definitely cry alot more than you did in ffx tho. While the story and everything are beautiful, it's the most brutal thing in existence on the sad emotions. (Just note if you do try it, when u reach the credits the first time, you will only have experienced about 15% of the story, the game continues after, and after the next credits as well, and even further.)
@@garretthubbard930 oh yeah ive already played nier automata a few years back, absolutely loved it. Theres a lot of tragedy and twists in that game, and Emils underground area is incredibly beautiful. I wish I could wipe my memory so I can experience that game for the first time again.
As a Korean who played this game without knowing what they were saying 22 years ago with a guide, I cried my eyes out when I understood what all it meant watching you playing this game. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to feel this game sincerely. What a journey it was with you. I am so happy that I watched this video
Surprised no one has mentioned it yet but, FFX-2 wraps up Yuna and Tidus' story quite satisfactorily. If you want them to be happy... play FFX-2.
As someone who has played FFX many times over many years...
Its awesome to see people enjoying this for the first time, and great to see that FFX still gets ya with one hell of an emotional punch to the feels.😄
I'm now a certified tear collector. I go around, watching pretty girls cry at heartfelt moments in video game history. TH-cam is amazing because of this.
ngl, sounds creepy when you say it out loud, but i guess i creep sometimes too! XD
I´ve played this game +15 years ago. Still i remembered it as the most emotional game i have ever played. I cried as you did at final. Such a beautiful love story...
im so happy that there are ppl who are still playing this game. Im now 21 yrs old but since i was little i watched my brother playing ffx and kingdom hearts. my childhood was filled with amazing soundracks of those games. and now many years later im still playing ffx and kh. this is prolly my 60th time that i play ffx and i still cant get over it just how much i adore this game. im happy
When the Ronso talk about making their own statue of Yuna with grand horn on head, it's a subtle nod to the Summoner job classes of classic FF games, where they typically worn a horned headband.
I stayed up until 3am watching this, crying for the majority of it, stoked you loved it. thank you for posting!
Nice video, it was fun re-living the feels and getting emotional :')
this randomly came up in recommended. ffx never stops making me shed tears, all these years later. thank you for your fun, emotional playthrough
ah yes, another reaction where we can enjoy someone going through the same sadness we all experienced.
really a Master Class of story telling. When Tidus asks "Was I the only one that didn't know?" it broke me. (also the ending, but that breaks everyone)
so glad you enjoyed the game!
that shot with her face on the deck. so sad it hurts!
Even now after all the times I played it, the ending still makes me cry 😢😭
I love this game. I have this Game for PC, PS2, PS4, XBOX and Switch. I love love love this game so much.
A cinematic masterpiece. I quit playing video games a long time ago but I revisit the ending to this all the time as well as FFXV . I wish I recorded my reaction to the first time I saw this.
found this video randomly now, watched 1 minute and got emotional. I´m not ready for this again
"Listen to my story" Nooooooo~ I already know what happened for 100th times 😢. Btw i enjoyed the gameplay and the reactions Alana !
for someone who has played this game for more than 20 years like me, I really enjoyed watching you play it now, thank you for sharing your game with us, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
bro the ending gets me every damn time how can it be so good it's been 20 years and I've watched it at least 10 times
Easily my favourite game from childhood and I still come back occasionally to relive those moments. Best soundtrack and some of the best characters I’ve ever come to love.
I miss discovering FFX game and story for the first time. Kinda enjoy this journey as I watch your reaction to discovering the story for the first time.
woooow finally yes yes this game is special for everyone that did it hope you like it and enjoyed it and didn't cry as much as i doooo ....
can't wait to see you play Final fantasy x 2 :D it's been like 15 years ago or even more I played that game over and over again :P
Great video and reactions! FFX is truly something special. My hope and dream is that the rumors prove true and Square Enix has something brewing for FFX and we will be able to visit that world once again. 🙏 ❤
What a ride, reliving the experience of this story. Finding reactionary videos of this type are such a joy.
Watching those that are experiencing it for the first time help us that have already, find some of them "first time Feels". Glad to see more than two decades later this timeless classic still hits its mark. Now off the subs bars we go.
Came from your anime channel; honestly thought that the editing was super well done and had a blast watching. Will be waiting for more JRPG content!
i'm happy to hear that!! glad you enjoyed :D
I was in high school when this game first came out on the PS2. Played it. Beat it. When re-mastered came out I, of course, bought it and played it..beat again once more. Love the games OST.
I still cry at least 3 times watching these scenes. Wonderful playthough
This game was so influential at the time that years later, I named my dog Rikku. I also wanted to get two Huskies, and name them Yuna and Kamahri.
Nice edit Alana ! OMG This ending is still so emotional ! Thanks !
This is my all time favourite game, and watching your reaction made me realise why I love it so much more. It really is a beautiful story.
I kinda loved revisiting this game by watching this - nice edit!
I think I appreciate FFX-2 more each time I think about FFX. It has its flaws, but I think it’s the perfect continuation in a lot of ways. Hope you play it if you haven’t already!
I would disagree. I think it's a good game, but as a sequel it's really really bad.
@@BigFry9591 I get it. There’s some parts I’d rather change or remove, sure, but even beyond the gameplay (which I quite like), I think it’s really novel that the sequel even exists.
*vague spoilers below*
It’s kind of fascinating that a character gets to develop (and lose) a love interest, as well as her entire reason for being, and on top of that, the world has lost its singular pillar (the church of Yevon), and now the creators go: “okay, so what’s next?”
So many Final Fantasy games end with you ‘saving the world’, but you leave it completely changed. This is one of the few games to consider what happens to a world that’s forced to deal with that.
@@justinleach47757's got that kind of thing too. As well as 13. But yeah, I'd love to see past the endings of a lot of the FF games.
Thank you for playing this... Brought back so many great memories, felt like I was watching a friend play through the one of my favourite games I have ever played. Truly thank you.
In the end, he stopped crying, Tidus cried the whole game, but when his story ended, he didn't cry, he finally grew up.
This is the best. After all those times playing it, it still hits just as hard. Nice job capturing most of the best moments here, and forcing us all to cry along with you at just about every opportunity... 😢
What a game. If it's held up this well after 20 years, it's never gonna get old.
I've played this game upwards of 20 times and I'm still an utter mess by the end of it.
This truly is one of if not the best Final Fantasy game to me.
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤
PS: Hopefully you plan on playing Final Fantasy X-2! Spira's story doesn't end with X :)
don't watch you, but saw that you did a reaction to FFX and i HAD to see it. Honesly anyone that doesn't cry has no emotions what so ever. Truly believe that, I didn't even cry when my Grandma passed cause I know life and treasured what Me and her had together. but this still makes me tear up anytime i watch it after awhile. Fun fact, the people that did the english Translation to ths fought sqaure to all ends to make it that she said "I love you." It actually never translated to that. But they FOUGHT hard to change it to "I love you." cause it was what should've been said. And i agree with them on this.
Me just finding this video: "Man two hours is too long for a best hits of ffX"
One hour into the video: "This editor has me in the palm of their hands, they will take me where I want to be at the right time."
played this game when I was 11(32 now) and it to this day is the only media (movie book or game) that has ever made me cry, and it allways does make me cry.
We were so spoiled in those days. In 5 years from 1997-2001 we got FF VII, VIII, IX, and X. We got 4 fantastic mainline Final Fantasy games in 5 years. Online games aside, it took 17 years for us to get XII, XIII, XV, and XVI. Glad you're enjoying these amazing games and reliving the golden years. Have fun!
Thank you for this AMAZING video!
Through this I have been able to relive all of the emotions again! ❤
My favorite final fantasy of the entire franchise.
Final Fantasy X was my first game that I fell in love with and always bought on every new console that I got. It a amazing story line to it. There also a Final Fantasy X-2 as well which is the second part to it
Omg please play Final Fantasy X2 next! It’s Yuna’s story and it so fun! You just gotta make sure you get the true ending tho 👀
I love when people play this game for the first time! :D
Tremendo final, es la primera vez que lo juego y hoy lo termine, el final y la escena del beso fueron simplemente arte, llore un montón, una obra de arte total, obra maestra indiscutible.
I know this is old but glad came up on my feed. Brings me back to when I was a kid and first played this 20 years ago. Glad you enjoyed it!
What happened to Anima? If you achieved that Aeon you'd unlock a few bonus stoey segments that are rather nice. Also, returning to the temples at the right time before spawning dark aeons allows you to not only get great items where the fayth lay... but you have cut scene conversions with the Fayth!
Amazing how old this game is and yet it's still my favourite of all time. Ending gets you every time and the music is just unbelievable.
Truly amazing story and a fantastic video. Thanks for sharing!
Still the peak of final fantasy to me.
I always thought it was nostalgia that made me think this game is truly one of the best games ever. Watching you play through it just affirms that 10 probably has the best story of all the FF games. It's my personal opinion because I do love 7,8, and 14's story too.
Even after 20 years that ending scene where Tidus leaves still brings me to tears. Ugly crying
it's always a pleasure watching someone play one of my favorite games of all time for the first time! thanks for giving me another excuse to cry about this game and its many emotional story beats ~
OMGG IM SO HAPPY FOR ANOTHER PLAYTHROUGH
great playthrough! my favorite FF game of all time! i got this for my birthday when i was 12 and beat it back then. the intense amount of emotions that came out during my first playthrough was a hell of a rollercoaster! im 32 and the feelings are still the same. i still tend to tear up everytime i watch other peoples reactions of this game. the story of this game is a masterpiece, and even sometimes i feel like we could've done without the sequel, which would've made this game/ending that much more sad. it could go either way though, with or without the sequel. hopefully you get to play it! i'll follow you on twitch, i'd love to see your journey through it!
i'm hoping for an FF9 playthrough one day
i have it downloaded, it's in my backlog! hoping to get to it sometime this year
The “Wakka, shut up!”, at 1:02:03 killed me. I laughed my ass off. I love him, but yes, keep it to yourself some times, man. Also, great edit and I loved seeing someone experience this game for the first time.
"I don't care if its Teedus, I'm not going to call him that" I love her for that!
Gosh I love seeing first-time playthroughs like this! Makes me feel like I'm playing it again for the first time!
FF X is art.
This is one of most beautiful games i ever played. Story writing and characters 10/10. It is amazing how emotional this game is. Players connection with characters is so strong that game leaves emptyness and sadness after you finish it. When i played game 2nd and 3rd time many years after first playthrough i stoped playing just before last boss fight. Thank you Square Enix for this game. It was really unique experience.
She copies Tidus's pose unintentionally at 33:18-33:30 haha
I am almost 47, I was like 24 or 25 when I first played it. For me this is the best game ever. I remember balling my eyes out and feeling embarrassed about it but the game, the story line and subplots were just so good. To this days I think that song Sutek da ni (Sorry I dont know how to spell it) is one of the most beautiful I have ever heard. Glad you finally got to play!
I'm so glad you chose to call him Tide-us lol I have never called him "Tee-dus" either. FFX is pry my all time fave Final Fantasy. Thanks so much for sharing!
this has been my favourite game for like 13 years now so seeing you happy to play the game in 2023 was so heartwarming
Loved your playthrough :) This game is amazing and watching you go through all the feels was a lot of fun. Any plan on playing FFX-2 ? The story and gameplay are IMO much better than the critics give it credit for and it's a nice closure to Yuna's story.
