The line about Aurons voice acting makes so much sense. The fact that he spoke his lines normally is what made Auron stand out. And his general awesomeness
auron is casual about the whole ordeal because he's gone through the whole entire pilgrimage already, basically dies and was sent to dream zanarkand by jecht to basically raise tidus when jecht was off playing games and well, auron goes through this game with "i'd rather you see the truth with your own eyes" attitude because he could say ANYTHING wild and people will think he's crazy, he'd rather them find out than spouting nonsense, dream zanarkand was a trip for me that, whole thing kinda made me absolutely sad, it's almost saying that tidus never existed.
@@frostbitepup87 It's the irony of it. He's a legend to everyone who is a believer but I'm guessing that deep down he pities everyone who's like "Sir Auron, you're a legend sir. I became a guardian because of you"
Strange thing about this claim though is: Cartoons and therefore voice acting existed long before video games, so there already must have been speakers that are used to lip-synch-acting ever since as early as 1908, when the world's first cartoon saw the light of day
@@frankbrodie5168 Jecht's idea of motivation was to mercilessly criticize the mistakes of his very young son and then mock him for being upset that his own parent would viciously berate him for not being a born pro. This was trimmed down in the English version so Jecht sounded like the next arrogant blowhard. Japanese Jecht sounds like a belligerent drunkard. Later scenes show that Tidus was also bruskly rebuked whenever he tried to reach out to the man. You don't just bounce back from that kind of persistent emotional abuse by your teenage years.
@@silverblade357 I mean yeah but...also: -You cant hold your breath that long -guado isnt a race -you cant send souls to the farplane -fiends arent real -the dead cant dream up thriving cities You are trying to add real-world psychology into a game where most of the shit doesnt follow our reality...
Theres two in kilika, one on the pier by the boat, and the other in the house. One on the pier is pretty chill, just mentions that he doesnt remember anything, if you come back later, he has recovered and is sad about it since now he remembers all the people who were important to him and how they're all dead because of sin.

Auron's lamenting, self-deprecating line "I only made it to Bevelle" has become a go-to line in my social circle for a game trying to handwave/ignore a character a doing a ridiculously badass thing. For context, Auron crawled his dying ass through the Zanarkand ruins, down Mt. Gagazet and over the Calm Lands, while (using the party's journey as reference) getting ambushed by monsters at least every ten seconds on his own. That's like if someone bleeding out from a gunshot wound swam across the Atlantic ocean without any aid then lamented that they did it using both arms. This is one of the many reasons why Auron was the best character in this game. Badass.
Not to take away from the sheer distance traveled, he _could_ have had armor with No Encounters equipped (lost to a thieving Al Bhed 😉 while he was incapacitated).
There is one person who is more badass than Auron. Seymour's mother. She not only walks into the ruins of Zanarkand Dome, bold as brass...she's doing it as an "escort mission" with noncombatant child Seymour in tow. Either she is an unrevealed combat monster herself, or she likewise has armor with "No Encounters" equipped. And that doesn't begin to answer how she got past the ghostly gatekeeper who turns Yuna away if Yuna didn't get Yojimbo first.
I come to believe that Auron's lament isn't about the journey, but about his fellow comrades (god I hate that word so much, but it fits so perfectly here...). As we all know, Jecht sacrificed himself to be an Aeon, and Braska gave his life to defeat Sin, but Auron had to watch. And he fled before the final fight. He's not reffering to where he went, but where he lost his faith in Yevon and in what he had to do (and later he died because of guilt and grudge against Yunalesca)
Seymour... every time he shows up, it deserves a sin. The character looks so dumb, lol Goddamn Nomura, how can an untalented piece of shit like that was able to deceive an entire generation? Sephirot and the time travel lady of FF8 looks just as dumb smh
@@strahinjagov Sephiroth looks like a drag queen ffs Uematsu literally performed a miracle, his final boss theme made a dumb looking drag queen who wields a 2 meter long katana + generic snake eyes... he made this thing looks menacing, lol people underestimate soundtracks, imagine these ridiculous anime characters/plots without Uematsu's music?
@@RRRRRRRRR33 How does he look like a drag queen? Cause he has long hair? Are you really that insecure? And literally every FF character looks like an anime character, it's a Japanese game.
@@strahinjagov "because japan" is not a valid excuse. You have games like Persona 5 who doesn't rely on these androgenous designs and over the top personalities. All the FF games are like this: anime nonsense disguised by great presentation.
Actually not every dead soul needs sending. Souls that at peace with their deaths can find a way to farplane on their own. The ritual is done for premature deaths that leaves soul for desire to live.
@@LocalChoker He missed a lot of points that are explained in the game Yuna tells Tidus that some people don't need a Sending because they accept death while they're alive Lulu mentions at Gagazet how there's no one to send fallen summoners there, explaining why there are fiends there And yes, lots of people die in Spira not just from Sin and most don't get a Sending, that's why fiends roam almost every place in the world and never seem to end
Well to be fair, the video mentioned how Tidus travelled time, when he isn't. And finding fault in the physics and logic inside a fictional story, one with magic at that, by comparing it with our own, is a fault to begin with. The entire video was meant to be a parody of sort. Not to be taken seriously.
17:45 yuna’s mom died and her dad abandoned her for his pilgrimage. Al bhed are generally hated by the yevonites so if Yuna were to reveal that she’s al bhed when kimahri found her, there would’ve been a chance she’d be left behind again
Also, while everyone is going on about the sin toxin thing you missed, I'd like to point out that that the force field attack that wiped out operation mu'hen is actually one of Sins attacks in the boss fight. And if you don't end the fight before he uses it, its an instant game over
Yuna jumps from a building, "i can fly" tries to summon Valefor... "you are in queue, please wait until Aeon is released by the other summoner" ... ... splat
even better considering that yes indeed, one can not summon an Aeon already in use... that's why you can't use the same Aeon against other summoners like Isaru and whatsherface that offers training that you get the Magus Sisters from. lol
Actually, if I'm not mistaken, didn't Tidus believe that the summoners were old men? I don't remember Tidus actually knowing that the summoner was actually a lady of his age.
@@pokerraper1 And if you explore around Besaid Village, various characters will teach Tidus about Sin, Summoners, Crusaders and whatnot. The priest in the temple will introduce Tidus to the statue of Yuna's old man, whose representation was likely adjusted to meet a certain image.
Yeah. He didn't know in the little side notes you get he says "here was I thinking summonses were just old geezers" or something like that I can't remember the actual quote he says
I don't think Yuna was dragged away by the Al Bhed. She went with them willingly thinking she would get to see her uncle. Which is why she apologized when everyone came to her rescue. /shrugs
What about the RNG that is Blitzball? My character has 25 attack and the defender has 15 endurance. Youd think simple math would make me the winner but nope.
Tommy Vercetti you are right, it is a an actual destination far out in the ocean that Spirans could hypothetically travel to. Sin is Yu Yevon's super-weapon/armor and is used to prevent people from ever advancing technologically enough to find Dream Zanarkand
I think of it like the esper world from FFVI. Set apart from the real world, but there's technically a way in, which pretty much can't be found, except for the 0.0001% chance that one person (Jecht/Madeline) stumbles in without looking for it
"I'm not sure how they got here from Bevelle, there's no road" There literally is a road. It's the left branch before you leave to the Calm Lands from the forest. Did you play this game or have someone else do it?
He clearly only watched the *voiced* cutscenes. Most of his questions would have been answered if he had actually played it. Like the "two people summoning the same Aeon" question. Fucking. Really? Proof enough.
Son Kirin I have a hard time believing that, even if it is true. Did he blast through it or something? Did he not READ? How could he ask so many of these questions when most of them are answered in-game? Granted, in text NPC dialogue and optional content, but the answers are *still* there, nonetheless. How can one have the gall to sin a game and not have explored it *thoroughly!?"* That would be like if I said Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Fluff Sandwiches were disgusting while only eating a Peanut Butter Sandwich. You just don't leave shit out and call "Foul" like that.
Son Kirin That is reaching and you know it. If it is a “character” he’s playing, he should lead with that so misunderstandings don’t happen. Even so, who would willingly play an “intellectual” character that makes himself look like a jackass by leaving out details, thus undermining his entire argument? It’s self-defeating and makes no logical sense. No. He clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. You can’t just skip the little shit when nitpicking *is your job.* He is no longer picking nits at that point; but creating holes himself, and then blaming the game for it. Either a lack of integrity or just lazy. Stop making excuses.
My guess is that he didn't play the game recently enough before making the video. Such details like the road to Bevelle is easy to overlook if you're going from just memory.
Yeah a lot of these were bad nitpicks answered in game or just needing common sense. Like Tidus could have escaped easy from the al bhed by swimming but then what? He's in the middle of an ocean in a world he knows nothing about, not even near real zanarkand. I'd have stayed put too
The stupidest thing about this game is that every time a summoner obtains the final summoning they have to sacrifice a guardian to become the final aeon. Every single summoner has had to do this but it is never mentioned and is a complete shock to everyone when it comes up.
Errors in this video: 1. The boat from Kilika to Luca IS different from the one going from Besaid to Kilika. It has a different name and some other minor differences (e.g. lack of crossbows on the front). 2. You DO need to cross Macalania Lake in order to reach the temple, it's literally in the game. 3. The Al Bhed destroyed Home to kill the fiends and guado, not because they thought it would be taken over. 4. Bevelle has air defences because Sin can fly, duhh... 5. Impacting a "bird" IS better than impacting the ground, if the "bird" is also falling but at a slower rate. 6. Yes Macalania Forest IS linked to the temple, there's even a pathway in the game (blocked by a soldier until endgame).
7. The ball is clearly under neutral buoyancy: an object with the same density as the fluid in which its immersed will neither rise nor sink; it will remain at depth and position unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
Possibly two villagers. The one you mentioned and the kid who runs around in circles and comically declares, "I want to be a blitzball when I grow up!" Not PLAYER, mind you. BLITZBALL. Lol
@@russellvitranoiii3504 And another one in one of the homes where his wife even apolgies for him towards you if he should say funny things ant then he says something about this area not being a zoo
You had just betrayed Yevons teachings by doing the cloister of trials whilst not yet being a guardian. It’s pretty safe to assume about 60% of people on that beach. Didn’t want you there.
I think that the fact its a very missable NPC only puts the emphasis on the point that Sin's toxin is just a convenient plot device so they don't have to explain it. Also, we're told that it's Sin's toxin, but that could just be literal PTSD with what little explanation given about Sin's toxin, 2 to 3 obscure NPCs who "have it" just to confirm it "exists" is just bad writing and still a sin.
@@turntapeover5749 Gatta gets affected too after their failed operation. And there's 2 people in Kilika plus some more after the operation, while en route to Djose Temple. It just means that Dartigan doesn't take the time to talk to NPCs.
Yuna tells him about Auron because, like she told Tidus before, she is convinced that the Jecht she met was his dad. And you meet people with amnesia because of Sin's toxins: first cases are in Kilika. If you don't know, it means that you don't interact much with NPCs :)
Yeah, it's not unreasonable to think the conversation could have gone "Someone said they saw Sir Auron in a cafe!" "Who's that?" "A friend of your father's."
Up to that point, it's not mentioned Auron was Braska's guardian. It's still an out of nowhere comment because hey, we have to introduce Auron back in the game. Its sloppy writing.
@@turntapeover5749 OK, but that changes nothing. Even if the player doesn't know about Braska's guardians at this point, Yuna does know who they were. And in her mind, she's certain that her Jecht is also Tidus' which would mean that they know the same Auron. Him being her dad's bodyguard is inconsequential here.
@@turntapeover5749 I mean auron is a legendary guardian in the game and even barthello knows who auron is so it wouldn't surprise me that tidus is the only one who doesn't know that he and his father were guardians of braska I don't think you paid attention to the game.
There's actually a few characters who have supposedly been poisoned by Sin's toxin. They're random nameless people that you have to talk to, outside of the cutscenes, so you'll have to pretty much find them. Otherwise, yeah, Tidus is the only one with "Sin's toxin" here.
23:19 - Auron's determination was still too strong for his body to be sent. This was also the case when Yuna first attempted to perform a sending on Seymour. Their spirits and bodies must be first weakened in order to perform a sending.
"his cg face doesn't resemble his in game face" Like pretty much all the main characters in the game, like pretty much 50-75% of jrpgs or rpgs in general? 🤷
So if FF10, and 10-2, had a lot of ass shots, and the PS2 doesn’t make them seem as impressive, I guess you could say these games were full of bad-assses
It is Tidus story though. Yea if Yuna went though with the final summon then it was her but it was Tidus sacrifice at the end. He let go of his entire existence for a world he barely knew. He sacrificed everything. Did you finish the game?
14:10 Jecht was memorialized by Zanarkand, his smug face is on billboards everywhere and his various records remain unbroken. He is treated like a legit hero because he was really good at the sportsball. Tidus would never escape Jecht's shadow no matter what he did. Personally, I always theorized that Tidus pursued Blitzball to eventually surpass and truly destroy Jecht's legacy by making people forget him. Is would be cruel, petty, and vicious, yeah, but Tidus hates Jecht and spite can be a powerful motivator. This would have also made Tidus much more interesting!
I thought he (Tidus) was killed in the attack on Zanerkand 1000 years ago and the Fayth were dreaming him into the present day ... and that's why he joins them at the end and explains the 'perfect' ending of x2?
@@faho8221 Not quite, I'll explain: Dream Zanarkand was a distant location in present time designed to look like how Zanarkand looked 1000 years ago. The whole place and it's population were dreams made by the fayth. Tidus wasn't taken to the future. He was just thrown out of Dream Zanarkand. Back then (1000 years ago), the people of Zanarkand were sacrificed by Yu Yevon and made into fayth to keep Zanarkand alive by creating a new Zanarkand distant from mainland Spira and a monster (Sin) to protect it.
Also yeah the ages of the characters in this game make no sense... Tidus: Looks 18-20 (17) Yuna: looks 18-20 (17) Auron: looks mid 50s (35) Wakka: Mid thirties (22) Lulu: early thirties (22) Kimari: ? (25) Rikku: 17-19 (15?!)
I just figured that Auron's age stopped being counted after he died. He looked closer to 35 in the flashbacks. Still, the other ages are goofy to so it's likely just an oversight.
Its all about health care man... With life expectancy measure by sin mood... I expect people will be matured faster. And with the threat of dying anytime with fiend roaming the streets... The stress will accumulate easily.
It's because the original concept of the game was gonna be about how people are killed or sacrificed when they turned 21 or 18, I can't remember which off the top of my head.
Actually, it's not a sin at all. There are temple summoners at each of the temples who can perform sendings for the towns and cities nearby. They're mentioned in passing and there are actual NPC summoners in the temples themselves, but since a lot of the unimportant NPCs aren't given proper names or even state what they do its hard to pick them out from the crowd of nameless faces. Hell, Seymour is also a temple summoner, technically speaking, before he becomes a maester and goes full anime evil mode. He's the temple summoenr for the Macalania temple. Ergo, they should be able to send the people who die with decent regularity, assuming that there isn't a summoner on their pilgrimage nearby. What should actually be a sin is why there are so many fiends in the game in areas where there shouldn't be that many unsent souls. Other than the Mushroom Rock Road, Bikanel Island, Mount Gagazet, Zanarkand, the Omega Ruins, and that temple you get Anima from, almost every other area in Spira is directly adjacent to or a part of an active Temple of Yeven. So assuming there is at least a temple summoner at each of the temples, there shouldn't be any fiends anywhere else in Spira at all. Of course, that would make for a pretty boring game, but hey don't blame me blame the lore.
@@theStonerKid69 Flippant tone: It was so much easier back then to think of all the monsters you were fighting as infinite because it was a video game, why are there hundreds of wolves, chimeras, slot machines, and enemy troops? .......well I gotta get some action somehow, I'm playing a video game
@@theStonerKid69 I mean there have to be two things to consider here: 1 - That there isn't really too much of a threat from fiends unless you venture into unusual territories like some of those you listed. As we see the Aurochs training on the beach/people seeing Yuna off, the small crowd that was at Kilika Temple, regular people walking along the Mi'hen Roads; the game only seem to make fiends a serious threat if they're special like Sinspawns or BIG, or in terms of not wanting their loved ones turned into a vicious monster (which really shouldn't even be a threat if they're living in a town anyway). And the cities and towns are essentially fiend free enough for people to live comfortably from them. And 2 - there appear to be fiends regardless of whether there were death or not. I.e. the Sinspawns which are just dropped off of Sin, Evrae who is implied to be control by Yevon - though people debate its fiend status, and the Guado summoning them at will through pyreflies. We also got the implication that they can be revived as well "she sent fiends to test our summoner's strength" as if Auron knew exactly what was coming. And it doesn't seem like every unsent become fiends anyway. We seen the dead summoner in the stolen fayth area, after all. And she was probably the most direct contradiction to what we were told much earlier by Lulu. Our only example of a fiend seemingly appearing from dead bodies is the one in the Summoner's Santrum of the Al Bhed home... but there were two summoners there who practically been sending all day. So TL;DR; there's reason to believe that some are naturally occurring even without people dying + there isn't really much of a threat from them unless they're particular large or powerful but there's also no real way to eradicate them - as long as pyreflies exist anyway. So the real sin here would honestly be skating over a bunch of details regarding fiends to deliver plot twists about unsents people lol.
Zeronigel332 Only exceptional beings with an incommensurable attachment to life are proven to be able to linger after death as unsent, it is not what your average joe could pull off.
6:50 He specifically says that he had no idea it was going to be a cute girl. Before he saw yuna he thought all summoners were- and I quote, "Old geezers".
As far his character development is, Tidus do care about other people even when he doesn't know who they are. So, acting like that when he knows someone might die (specially if it's an old geezer) is kinda correct.
The script doesn't help, but you can imagine Tidus's mindset if you think for a moment. Tidus survived an apocalyptic event where millions must have died. He washed up on a wrecked island that looked to have been inhabited not too long ago. I can see Tidus being triggered by the idea of someone dying while everyone else stood back because tradition.
@@pokerraper1 didn’t Tidus and Jecht both go after the chocobo water because it’s the right thing to do? That just adds to your point that Titus is the type to help anyone. Js one year later lol
@@LaFlor718 Yep. That's the point of both characters, being stubborn but compassionate around others because "It's the right thing to do". Later Tidus learns to "Do because you want and care, not only because is the right thing to do"
I'll keep writing this as I go through with the video and might make some changes throughout Sin 26 : Wrong, just speak to people in Kilika (especially the blitzball player in his house) and you'll find one. Sin 47 : The two boats have different names. Similar doesn't mean same. Sin 63 : He can't. You can try, it won't budge. Sin 76 : Because she knows Auron was her father's guardian and Jecht too. Tidus already mentionned that Jecht is his father. Logical. Sin 80 : Religion has nothing to do with sports. It's not like blitzball is sponsored by Yevon's cult. Also, how do you think blitzball spheres work ? With magic ? I'd rather say with machina indeed. Sin 83 : I wouldn't kidnap someone in public. Maybe, you know, drag her away then drug her so she has no opportunity to respond. Sin 96 : Well yes, there is a difference between seasonal leagues and tournaments. It happens in real life too. Sin 99 : He could just introduce himself as Jecht's friend. Sin 105 : You already said that the Pilgrimage is a sham so what is preventing the people from Yevon to restrict these to only when Sin is active ? (pure conjecture from my part) Sin 113 : Summoners were a thing 1000 years ago. Sin 129 : Yuna, Lulu and Rikku spoke in private so, at this point, Yuna knows that Rikku is her cousin. Sin 131 : Seymour is half human, half Guado. Sin 142 : Well, you see him resisting in the same cutscene. Sin 180 : I'm pretty sure many people in real life wouldn't be able to announce to others the future death of one of their most important person. Sin 187 : I'm pretty sure Sin spawns aren't are glued to the ground. Sin 201 : In my opinion, this is the biggest sin of all people who think they are FFX fans. I'll ask one simple question : Which was the machina city and summoners city in Spira 1000 years ago between Bevelle and Zanarkand ? If you answered Zanarkand for machina city, you understood nothing about the story since it's the reverse. So it makes total sense that so many machinas are present in Bevelle. Sin 227 : Are you kidding ? "People of the North Pole" is one of the best soundtrack in the FF series. Sin 233 : Sharing non war associated technologies with other big cities is a thing. Sin 234 : I'm pretty sure the war started for a reason. Maybe say, the danger of the summoners's powers ? Sin 240 : As inconsistant as your way to write Yevon. Sin 243 : The way Auron was transported to Bevelle is explained just a bit later. How did Auron aged ? What about Tidus then ? Yes, something about the dreamers. This wall of text was written by a FFX fan with no ill reason, take it or not.
“Tidus is completely unnecessary” This is a ridiculous statement, tidus is absolutely the direct cause of the eternal calm. His refusal to let Yuna die, and his will to find another option, led to the team deciding to kill sin outright to begin with.
But Yuna could've just decided that herself. I will say that Tidus being the fish out of water for this story helps the party, since he's always questioning the customs of Spira.
@@haziqtheunique she never would have without his influence. It’s painfully obvious has necessary he was for the plot, especially when you get to yunalesca

How the fuck could Yuna do that herself when she didnt posses the leadership, backbone, life experience or confidence to even make half of her decisions be plausible and she was being babysat by an entire group of people who knew her better than she knew herself? Did you play the game? Did you play it properly till the end?

@@haziqtheunique Yuna couldn't decide shit for herself and she only ever gets close like choosing to marry Seymour cause she was being toughened up by events that were cause and effect due to actions they committed with the influence of Tidus in their party.

@@haziqtheunique Did you forget Rikku was the ONLY one in the party minus Tidus that pushed consistently for another way? Yuna would have used Lulu or Wakka as the final Aeon and died cause she would have did her pilgrimage normally.

@@zaganim3813 It's arguable that FF2 theoretically allowed you to do that as well, given your stats improved based on your actions. Doesn't match the era, but it existed before X.
5:02 There actually is a blitzball player in Kilika that also got poisoned by Sin. He is inside a destroyed hut and there is a woman next to him that says: "Please excuse him. He got poisoned by Sin" or something similar to that. When you talk to him, he just tells you to screw off basically. Also just for the record, there is no time travel in this game. Check out dansg08's video if you are interested.
Also there is that brown skinned crusader that you sorta see now and again from Besaid. You can find on the beach who is all fucked up in the head too can't remember things.
Sin Toxin, in all honesty, is something of a Yevon conspiracy - a method to make someone crazy or someone who is against Yevon kind of unnoticeable or justified. That way avoiding to deal with it. Tidus and the rest of the crew got hit by Toxin a few times, but it never truly affected them (apart from I guess losing consciousness, but that was more of a post-sin travelling effect). It's sort of whole purpose of this game, to show that a lot of faith is corrupted - church telling that, for example, holy water can heal you, but in this case - as long as you atone for your sins and sacrifice yourself, Sin "might" go away eventually.
Sin's been around for a thousand years, and sins entire purpose was to protect Dream Zanarkand. It's not surprising at all that Yevon would take Sin to Zanarkand occasionally to check on it. Jecht just happened to be caught up in it.
Jecht still had free will up until his fight with him. He knowingly and willingly took Auron to DZ to watch over Tidus, a journey that would've been impossible had Auron not been unsent. When Sin comes back at the beginning of the game, Auron welcomes him with a raised jug, and converses with him before taking Tidus to Spira.
Then, wouldn't Sin be a known quantity in Dream Zanarkand? Everyone would've seen it before if that were the case, but everyone in Dream Zanarkand acts like it's the first time when it comes to abduct Tidus.
@SigmaSyndicate not if Sin usually observed from a distance, Jecht was lost at sea which we later find out was due to Sin taking him outside of the dream. If the first time he actually entered the city fully was when he was taking Tidus it could be that case, alternatively with it being in a dream the citizens may have been restored to prior to Sin's visit without recollection of it either way we won't really know because we don't get to see events there after the opening.
Around 26 minutes in, you missed a sin. In the underwater battle against the Al Bhed, Yuna is trapped inside the sphere and you can't control her, yet after you win, she's listed as a party member who receives 0 XP.
@@HeapsOfAmmo The grid is the same for all the party members, it just starts you in different areas, dependent on character, unless you use the Expert Grid in the Remaster or Japanese versions of the game, then it starts off with everyone in the same place and makes the grid smaller for more of a challenge, which I never do, because I hate it.
6:01 "How do you even get hair to do what Wakka's is doing?" Oh that's easy. Each morning after he showers he dunks his head into a sink full of industrial roof sealant.
Yuna: Wait so you guys had a planet destroying robot in your basement all this time?!? Baralai: Yes Yuna: So why didn't you use it to fight against Sin? What was all those Pilgrimages for? Baralai: Well it's IFF was broken. It was too dangerous to use against Sin Yuna: So fix the IFF! Why would you make your planet destroying gun sentient anyway?!? Also I saw Vegnagun in a vision. It has a pilot operation function. Why didn't you just use that? Baralai:... look man we didn't think of that okay? Yuna: For a full thousand years? Baralai: We REALLY liked the whole religion thing we had going
44:40: Bevelle also had summoners. Also, as shown with the optional Yojimbo fight, if someone doesn't want to get sent, they can resist the process forcing you to have to fight them.
6:55 I guess you forgot the part where Tidus didn't even know the summoner was a woman at first. He thought it was an "old geezer" as he quote. Making his actions a lot more selfless. Minus every sin in this video.
That's wrong he actually did know, and that was his motivation entirely. A couple of times there are conversations Tidus hears where they mention the summoner by her female pronoun (referring to the sumoner as her). Before that Tidus literally could not care less and even says so on a few occassions. Plus they would be suspicious because he claims he doesn't know about summoners anyway?! But if he's from the past then he'd have known about them, and if he ISN'T from the past and is just crazy - then being a regular citizen he would know about them anyway (as all the other regular citizens ALL know about summoners). It seems like to me, that Yuna from the off was supposed to be the main character, but at the last minute some idiot decided that they had to have yet another pre-teenage blonde mopped hippy idiot BOY instead. The more I think about this game, the more it sucks! I still get annoyed lol it was supposed to be amazing!!!! LOL.
@@DailyCorvid Just shut the fuck up and admit you personally hate it. The game is nationally and globally accredited in every gaming list by companies, magazines and countdown as one of the greatest top 10 PlayStation games of all time and its a fact. It was groundbreaking for its time in graphics and the new addictions to the Final Fantasy series. Tidus was supposed to be a complex character not easily liked and tbh is no more unlikable than squall. I played the game Squall was the main character of and hated his character he was just an ass and moody being complex when he didn't have to be. Both him & Tidus have family issues but his is more valid cause his parents discarded him & he had to basically raise himself with an "uncle" watching nearby. He had no other skill to develop than to be a soccer star like his dad. Squall was an orphan who chose to sign up to go to an Academy to become a part of a faction to defend the world.
When I researched the Al Bhed Home on Final Fantasy Wiki (see link below), the broadcast says "ihtanknuiht, huf!" ("underground, now!"). finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Home
5:20 "there isn't a single other person in the game poisoned by Sin". The guy in Kilika who screams at you for talking to him? No? Even when his wife tells you that he's been poisoned by Sin's toxin?
Just one person is easy to miss. I actually thought that it was just an euphemism for “special needs”. Because no one else was seen affected. Note this line in from the crusader in Besaid: IS SIN TOXIN THIS SEVERE, SIR?
The reason Aron acts like this in the game is because he wanted to let the others see the truth with their own eyes. He is never surprised. He wants Yuna to finish her pilgrimage so they see the truth for themselves. Aron do know really well what he is doing.
I'm so sick of people giving the bad laughing scene crap. It's supposed to be bad. They're fake laughing. Badly forcing a laugh because Summoners ad Guardians are Spira's hope. So it helps if they at least appear happy to the people they meet. Tidus and Yuna share in that moment. It literally ends with them legitimately enjoying a laugh at how silly they are.
uhm... excuse me, but I saw this on recommended and I think there's a mistake, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this game, thank you very much. (except maybe the chocobo "race" and the 200 lightning minigame)
@@claudiopolonia7854 Lmao like theres any comprehension of this bullshit story line 😹 shut the hell up, games a cluster fuck of shit like kingdom hearts.
29:40 Come on man I know you're better than that. The game says that Jecht went out to sea and he got caught in a storm. He then washed up on mainland Spira. Dream Zanarkand is a physical location out at sea that Sin is mandated to protect, it's not ludicrous to think someone could accidentally find their way to the mainland eventually.
@@Northwite also Jecht knew he would become the next sin when he gave his life for Lord Braskas. He gave a sin for the game not explaining that. Meanwhile it did. I am not expecting him to get everything right but that one is a pretty big one.
@@seank7227 That fact is why Jecht is my favourite character of the game and of all FF in general. Jecht is portrayed as being a meat head but he had the intelligence to come up with the plan that would ultimately end the cycle of Sin's rebirth. Sin figured that Tidus would act just like he did. As an outsider who doesn't understand why everyone is going along with all this nonsense. When he found out that he would become Sin, he decided to use Tidus to finish the job he started. Convince the world that the cycle needs to be broken, and use anything you can to do it. Tidus asked the questions, he pushed the unconventional thinking, and Jecht knew that he would do it. The only part of it that is a plot hole is that there is nothing to suggest that Jecht could have known or found out that the Final Aeon could exert mental control over Sin for any period of time after becoming the new Sin. Jecht either pieced that together somehow, or it was just a huge gamble.
@@Northwite well it's not just the Ultimania. In the Farplane, when speaking to Yuna, Tidus says that Jecht left home and never came back. And when you reach the top of Mt. Gagazet you reach the wall of Fayth summoning... something. Until Bahamut reveals that the thing they're summoning is Zanarkand and all of its inhabitants. There's are a couple other subtle hints as well such as the fact that the real Zanarkand rests atop a mountain while the Dream version is surrounded by ocean
I find the complaint about "color-swapped enemies" amusing. You act like FF 10 started this. You don't play many FF games, do you? That's been a thing since the 1st game.
@@darthnovo3526 No, but it is inaccurate to accuse FFX of starting this trend or the linear corridor thing, especially when FFXII was between FFX and FFXIII.
The boats that go from Besaid to Kilika and Kilika to Luca are not the same boat. If you open the menu on either boat, it gives your location as the name of the boat, and they're different. They're just designed exactly the same.
6:51 Tidus didn't know Yuna was the summoner yet - before he assumed they were "all old geezers". He disrespected an entire culture's religion but because he's a stand-up guy and felt bad for the elderly
A lot things that makes this video outright wrong. First, "There's no one else who suffers from Sin's toxin in the entire game." I guessed he missed the guy in one of the houses in Killika. About the Sending, and how there are few summoners to do them. There ARE a lot of fiends in Spira, so that tracks, not something wrong. Auron and Jecht BOTH guarded Braska during Braska's Pilgrimage, so Yuna knows Jecht knew Auron, and was telling Tidus that Braska's other guardian (Auron) was in Luca. Yuna was telling Tidus about Auron being there, so maybe they could get answers about Jecht. About the Al Bhed being participants in the tournament in Luca, there could be some things that cross religious and cultural bounds. Is the Al Bhed participating any stranger than the Soviets participating in the Olympic Games? \About the Al Bhed kidnapping of Yuna: First, again, since Yuna's link to the Al Bhed is explained later, they may not have kidnapped her. Second, the demands could (and probably were) a smokescreen. "Yuna's Al Bhed heritage should be common knowledge." Except Yevon has a bad habit of covering up bits that they don't like. Look at Auron's reaction to Braska's statue in Djose. And Wakka disliked the Al Bhed even before his brother's death. The season just started with the championship game. No, it started with the Luca opener. "Just have a bunch of summoners complete their pilgrimage during the Calm so they can be ready as soon as Sin returns." That journey is dangerous, and every summoner CHOOSES to do the pilgrimage.They are not forced (or even coerced) into it.Note, there have been FIVE High Summoners in the 1000 years Sin has existed, so trying to prepare is extremely risky, and who's to say it hasn't been tried before. This is the story about Yuna's and Tidus' journey, and the others are backstory. Important, but a side tangent to the main story. Actually, the reveal that Yevon is corrupt is completely separate to the summoner's pilgrimage. Just because he met with Yunalesca doesn't mean he knows about Sin's origin. Just wait a bit, and you will see that he doesn't find out about how Sin is reborn until AFTER Braska defeats sin. "...there are no competing religions so this is completely useless." A scene from I, Jedi sums it up perfectly. Corran Horn and Exar Kun are discussing the Force. "You kill everyone who opposes you. Who's left?" "The faithful." "From which arises a rival" "Which I destroy." They want strengthen the faithful, and get rid of those who are harboring doubts. "Who sent the dead before summoners became a thing a thousand years ago?" Summoners have always existed, Zanarkand was full of them. In fact, it was the (almost universal trope) war between magic and technology that started Sin. "It's only due to special circumstances that Yuna's pilgrimage is even difficult." No, all pilgrimages are difficult. Yuna's is just more difficult. And again, summoners have to pray in every temple. "Even with the solemn duty of sacrificing themselves for the good of Spira weighing on their backs, summoners can be super compeditive over it." Would you be, if you had the chance to be remembered for a thousand years? "How are machina any worse than magic?" The difference is you don't need any skill to pick up a gun and shoot it, but it takes a training to learn and use magic. Yuna has the final say on who she wants to be her guardian (as explained in Killika). And Wakka would be the only one who would object. Everyone else knows about Yuna's heritage. "Auron should have been sent as well." THE VERY NEXT SCENE (which I noticed is cut) EXPLAINS WHY AURON IS STILL ON SIPRA!!!!!!!! Duty binds him. Might want to wait a bit before putting counters that are later explained by the story. Or do a bit of thinking. I've seen his several videos, and the creator seems to lack a certain skill of critical thinking. The one slight redeeming factor about this video is he realized why the "Laughing scene" is there. He still tagged it, though. I was watching this video just to see if he would miss the point, and after he missed a lot of other things, I was surprised he actually got the point of that scene. About 2/3s of the way through, and it's obvious this guy is an idiot producing videos to bash a popular game.
@@cultofcheddar861 so you don't know how discussions works? That's fine, let me explain it for you: quoting "I guessed he missed the guy in one of the houses in Killika." and since he said "the guy" I answered with the same amount of people that was referred to in the og post. Hope this help you understand something, cheers mate.
Yeah, and that's not the only thing he got wrong. Has he never heard of neutral buoyancy? An object of approximately the same density as the fluid will neither rise nor sink; it will remain in position unless acted on by another force. The ball is clearly neutrally-buoyant.
Tidus was never dead. He was a completely new entity created by the aeons based off the memories of the real 'Tidus': Shuyin. After Yuna's journey in x-2, she was rewarded by the aeons for Tidus to become real.
I didn't know I can smell salt. Y'all need to make your own comments off this chain lol. I'm about to delete mine to make yours disappear. Obviously we are here for the hate lol
He didn't pay attention at all, he just saw a couple of errors at the beginning and said "Yeah this is trash." and kept playing just to have the capacity to say "I played it so I can't be wrong at all." Even in the same scene, you see Jyscal resisted getting Sent, so...
When I researched the Al Bhed Home on Final Fantasy Wiki (see link below), the broadcast says "ihtanknuiht, huf!" ("underground, now!"). finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Home
I've always had the theory that the Maesters know about Auron knowing everything but they know they can't do anything to him cause he'd kick all their asses instantly so they don't do anything to antagonize him as long as he's just going along with things because of Tidus and Yuna. In short, Auron is just doing his own thing and the Maesters live in fear that he'll kill them all.
plus it's bad press to kill the only surviving hero of killing sin so actively trying to hunt that man who has saved the world sounds ridiculous of anyone finds out they did that shit unprovoked people are gonna start dropping
Eh, I'm biased heavily with regards to this game but most of these sins can be explained by actually playing the game. Not to mention most sins were incredibly nit picking. I mean if that's the point of these videos then good for you.
This guy goes on nit picking his sins, because he has the right to do it even when its wrong by standart (all praise the content creation clause). But yeah, he does this in a way that sounds he has not played the game at all (and I strongly believe he has not), but trying to connect dots about things that should be the norm in that kind of world. Like the summoner thing in every isle or the monsters appearing everywhere.
20:38 Oh come on! Although I do agree with most of your sin count, for this one I really wonder if you actually played the game. That laughter was INTENDED to be cringe. Tidus has been stripped from his former life, has been trying to fit in a world he doesn't know shit about, has faced countless dangers since, has witnessed the pain and sorrow Sin leaves behind and a couple of minutes before this moment Auron just taught him that this evil beast was his father. Tidus is in such a pain and confusion he doesn't even seem to know how to laugh anymore. He forces himself to, as Yuna asks him. And Yuna mimics his laugh because she finds it awkward herself. Hell, even Tidus says "It's just weird" at the end of the scene. Everytime I see someone call the game out on that scene I only see two possibilities: either hey haven't played the game and therefore have nothing to say about it, or they did but then it's just bad faith. That was lame.
Final Fantasy x had an amazing story. I'm sick of everyone hating on it but loving 7. The only thing final fantasy 7 did to make it remarkable was being the first final fantasy in 3D. That. Is. It.
Agree and disagree. Agree: FFX is an AMAZING story, despite some of the obvious problems with the dialogue and some lines of logic. It's also the definition of "show, don't tell," and I'm sorry to say that Dartigan-- while he does bring up some good points-- seems to have missed this completely. But disagree: I also really liked the story of FF7. They really got a lot of great mileage out of Aerith's death, and OMG Cloud's identity crisis and resolution... just WOW!!!!
18:50 There are tournaments. The losers are knocked out in each match until a winner is determined. There are seasons. Twenty games where you play against all of the other teams at least three times. Big difference.
while the battles with Belgemine and Isaaru do reflect this, it still begs the question as to how every aeon you wanted to summon throughout the course of the game happened to be available at the time and not occupied by some other summoner miles away
Easy! Plot convienence. While it may not make a lot of logical sense it would be somewhat moot if you tried to summon when you need to and the game just dick about because it's not your day to get play with Ifrit.
I wouldnt call it a funny joke. Though it's funnier than the usual "haha vidya game char isn't legal age of real world country I'm from!" garbage that rains upon the internet. I mean, they mostly look nothing like their age, what's the point of looking up their age like it makes any difference?
For us it's like really strange to see an underage character being sexualized in a JRPG, but just because we forget that the legal age in Japan is 13 and in my country and some others it is 16. Even like that, I still prefer Lulu or Yunalesca.
@@Sechu_Chu also i think its really funny when we seen games from japan aimed specifically at teen audiences sexualizing a teen character and american audiences go apeshit as if we didnt have a near decade of time where a huge amount of live action shows aimed at teen audiences in america featured a bunch of "teen" wearing pretty revealing clothing and making out every other episode. like its not a japan thing it happens everywhere
Actually, you do occasionally encounter people who are affected by Sin's toxins. However, they are entirely unimportant NPCs. One example that comes to mind is in Kilika fter Sin lays waste to the area. In one broken house, you find a man who is basically non-responsive aside from mumbles and grunts, and a nearby women, who is an immediate family member watching over him, saying that he was hit hard by Sin's toxin.
"Except there isn't a single other person in the game who is poisoned by Sin." Lol, you skipped through this game didn't you? There actually is someone else and you can find them in Kilika after it gets attacked. You are told that he's suffering from the toxin and he is rude to you when you talk to him.
@@ootdega Uh huh, I believe you. Everyone knows that the way you play Final Fantasy or JRPGs in general is to NOT explore locations before and after major events. Especially locations with very few indoor setpieces. You DEFINITELY played it bruh.
@@Northwite Yeah, I missed talking to one random-ass nameless NPC in a place that you have no reason whatsoever to return to at any point. Never played it. Brilliant. Another excellent rebuttal. Bravo. Keep moving those goalposts. Maybe someone will forget that you're beating your chest over a single line of obscure dialogue. Or hell, maybe I didn't miss it. In case you didn't notice, the game is eighteen fucking years old. Some of us have more important things to remember than a single line of pointless dialogue from a video game eighteen years ago. How about you get the fuck over yourself? Self-righteous pseudointellectual tryhard.
I was wondering if he was ever going to make a sin about Tidus' teeth being f'ed up in his character model, but it doesn't seem like he does. So I'll list it here. Ahem. 9:38 "What the f*** is wrong with Tidus' teeth? It looks like the front teeth on the upper row are clipping into his lip, and they also aren't even lined up with the bottom row at all. You'd think even with the basic technology of 2000 that the graphic designers and programmers could at least get two objects to overlay on top of each other correctly, but apparently the guy who was supposed to do it was drunk on the job."
That’s right. The fiends in the stadium didn’t walk into the stadium. They were summoned by the guano. And Seymour took them out to make him look good. Sin removed.
11:10 "I'm not sure what repairs they are performing on that clearly totaled boat, but damn if they aren't giving it a shot". Hoooooly crap, I never questioned that before.
yeah...the other sphere grid has less spheres-sockets (so you can't really max every stats but the most important ones are like 3 or 5 over like 6 or 8 stats including HPs and MPs) but you can transform kimanrhi in a Rikku(at least until you get Rikku...after that he really becomes useless)
@@derokdeathaxe6984 you can do crazier shit than that. i had kimahri, rikku, yuna and tidus all able to steal (tidus admittedly through a sphere to copy a node someone else activated) with kimahri, rikku and yuna all having the use command too. not to mention siding wakka into auron's grid for more early damage. and the cherry on top? early reflect for the Seymour natus fight....by having rikku learn it.
@@derokdeathaxe6984 yes you can technically max everything on the expert sphere grid except Luck, which doesnt need maxing anyway, with 255 accuracy and around 180+ Luck, you will never miss anything. And with the Celestial Weapons, critical hits are mostly irrelevant. (edit) well Luck and HP, but there's no point going to 99999 HP ever lol
Everything on this seems to come from the original American version for the ps2. Not the PAL or Japanese international version. It also misses dark Aeons which with the nitpicks he would have ripped them all apart including penance. Surprised he didn't have a big attack on Yojimbo.
@@faelirra Probably because Yojimbo, and everything the international version added was optional, and not tied to the story. He didnt bring mention to Belgemine or the Omega Ruins either.
Multiple people can possess the same aeon. Imagine the Fayth a sacred temple flame, with the summoner's aeon being a flame in a lantern. It similar to Shinto practice of having multiple shrines and relics of Inari that possess the power of that same kami but at the same time be considered an individual kami. Same source, but somewhat different. Much of this game is influenced greatly by shintoism.
10:27 Not every summoner is sent on a pilgrimage. There are temple summoners at each of the temples who can perform sendings for the town and cities nearby. They're mentioned in passing and there are actual NPC summoners in the temples themselves, but since a lot of the unimportant NPCs aren't given proper names or even state what they do its hard to pick them out from the crowd of nameless faces. I think the bigger sin would be the presence of fiends in places where there would otherwise be a adjacent temple not far off, like Djose highroad, where there should be enough summoners nearby to send people who die with decent regularity. Heck, Seymour was mentioned to be a temple summoner for Macalania temple before he became maester and turned, well, full anime evil mode.
Not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but with the Guado being at Home. They weren't there for Yuna. They were attacking home because they obviously knew that it was the Al bhed kidnapping the summoners and found them. They were there to kill all of the summoners. That way Seymour's plan could work. It was to ensure only Yuna was alive to defeat Sin so Seymour could become the next Sin. They picked Yuna up by chance.
20:43 if you call the laughing scene "cringe" you did not understand the scene, it was suposed to be a forced laugh and then they laugh for real soon after, it's a shame that some people can be so blind towards a scene
The line about Aurons voice acting makes so much sense. The fact that he spoke his lines normally is what made Auron stand out. And his general awesomeness
It's like saying Clint Eastwood does not know how to act, because he talks too casually or too normal.
That's actually in the Strategy guide in a printed interview with the creators.
auron is casual about the whole ordeal because he's gone through the whole entire pilgrimage already, basically dies and was sent to dream zanarkand by jecht to basically raise tidus when jecht was off playing games and well, auron goes through this game with "i'd rather you see the truth with your own eyes" attitude because he could say ANYTHING wild and people will think he's crazy, he'd rather them find out than spouting nonsense, dream zanarkand was a trip for me that, whole thing kinda made me absolutely sad, it's almost saying that tidus never existed.
@@frostbitepup87 It's the irony of it. He's a legend to everyone who is a believer but I'm guessing that deep down he pities everyone who's like "Sir Auron, you're a legend sir. I became a guardian because of you"
Strange thing about this claim though is: Cartoons and therefore voice acting existed long before video games, so there already must have been speakers that are used to lip-synch-acting ever since as early as 1908, when the world's first cartoon saw the light of day
“You with a woman? You can’t even catch a ball!” Most savage quote of FF
INFERIORITY COMPLEX 100
That's why Jecht's the best.
He probably never practiced catching a wrench first. Rookie mistake.
@@frankbrodie5168 Jecht's idea of motivation was to mercilessly criticize the mistakes of his very young son and then mock him for being upset that his own parent would viciously berate him for not being a born pro. This was trimmed down in the English version so Jecht sounded like the next arrogant blowhard. Japanese Jecht sounds like a belligerent drunkard. Later scenes show that Tidus was also bruskly rebuked whenever he tried to reach out to the man. You don't just bounce back from that kind of persistent emotional abuse by your teenage years.
@@silverblade357 I mean yeah but...also:
-You cant hold your breath that long
-guado isnt a race
-you cant send souls to the farplane
-fiends arent real
-the dead cant dream up thriving cities

There’s a man in Kilika who was affected by Sin’s toxin
I remember that dude, he was just like screaming at the ocean
And after Operation Mi'ihen, Gatta is affected
Theres two in kilika, one on the pier by the boat, and the other in the house. One on the pier is pretty chill, just mentions that he doesnt remember anything, if you come back later, he has recovered and is sad about it since now he remembers all the people who were important to him and how they're all dead because of sin.

Auron's lamenting, self-deprecating line "I only made it to Bevelle" has become a go-to line in my social circle for a game trying to handwave/ignore a character a doing a ridiculously badass thing.
For context, Auron crawled his dying ass through the Zanarkand ruins, down Mt. Gagazet and over the Calm Lands, while (using the party's journey as reference) getting ambushed by monsters at least every ten seconds on his own. That's like if someone bleeding out from a gunshot wound swam across the Atlantic ocean without any aid then lamented that they did it using both arms.
This is one of the many reasons why Auron was the best character in this game.
Badass.
I HAD NOT THOUGHT OF THAT DISTANCE...
But the actual thing is that HE AGED... visually
That’s a smart unsent!
Not to take away from the sheer distance traveled, he _could_ have had armor with No Encounters equipped (lost to a thieving Al Bhed 😉 while he was incapacitated).
@@xheralt Indeed, very real possibility. Did not remember that one. Still Badass though. :)
There is one person who is more badass than Auron. Seymour's mother. She not only walks into the ruins of Zanarkand Dome, bold as brass...she's doing it as an "escort mission" with noncombatant child Seymour in tow. Either she is an unrevealed combat monster herself, or she likewise has armor with "No Encounters" equipped. And that doesn't begin to answer how she got past the ghostly gatekeeper who turns Yuna away if Yuna didn't get Yojimbo first.
I come to believe that Auron's lament isn't about the journey, but about his fellow comrades (god I hate that word so much, but it fits so perfectly here...). As we all know, Jecht sacrificed himself to be an Aeon, and Braska gave his life to defeat Sin, but Auron had to watch. And he fled before the final fight. He's not reffering to where he went, but where he lost his faith in Yevon and in what he had to do (and later he died because of guilt and grudge against Yunalesca)
Missed the opportunity of adding a sin whenever Sin was on screen.
Seymour... every time he shows up, it deserves a sin. The character looks so dumb, lol Goddamn Nomura, how can an untalented piece of shit like that was able to deceive an entire generation? Sephirot and the time travel lady of FF8 looks just as dumb smh

"There wouldn't be enough time to send all the dead"
And that's why there are fiends in the game.
Actually not every dead soul needs sending. Souls that at peace with their deaths can find a way to farplane on their own. The ritual is done for premature deaths that leaves soul for desire to live.
@@kaankarul exactly, he somehow missed that throughout the entire game
@@LocalChoker He missed a lot of points that are explained in the game

Lulu mentions at Gagazet how there's no one to send fallen summoners there, explaining why there are fiends there
And yes, lots of people die in Spira not just from Sin and most don't get a Sending, that's why fiends roam almost every place in the world and never seem to end
@@ismaelsolis28 yeah it really annoyed me
Well to be fair, the video mentioned how Tidus travelled time, when he isn't. And finding fault in the physics and logic inside a fictional story, one with magic at that, by comparing it with our own, is a fault to begin with. The entire video was meant to be a parody of sort. Not to be taken seriously.
17:45 yuna’s mom died and her dad abandoned her for his pilgrimage. Al bhed are generally hated by the yevonites so if Yuna were to reveal that she’s al bhed when kimahri found her, there would’ve been a chance she’d be left behind again
Also, while everyone is going on about the sin toxin thing you missed, I'd like to point out that that the force field attack that wiped out operation mu'hen is actually one of Sins attacks in the boss fight. And if you don't end the fight before he uses it, its an instant game over

he didnt know it at first
Yeah, the first thing he says about summoners later is that he though they were all old men with beards and stuff
@@pokerraper1 And if you explore around Besaid Village, various characters will teach Tidus about Sin, Summoners, Crusaders and whatnot. The priest in the temple will introduce Tidus to the statue of Yuna's old man, whose representation was likely adjusted to meet a certain image.
tidus didn't know who or what the summoner was, his gut told him to go help the summoner basically out of "why the fuck is no one doing anything?"
Yeah. He didn't know in the little side notes you get he says "here was I thinking summonses were just old geezers" or something like that I can't remember the actual quote he says
I don't think Yuna was dragged away by the Al Bhed. She went with them willingly thinking she would get to see her uncle. Which is why she apologized when everyone came to her rescue. /shrugs
This game has only 4 sins:
-chocobo race
-200 thunders
-butterflies
-too much farming
That chocobo race is terrible
I can't do the thunder plains to this day 😭
You forgot the biggest sin of all: Sin.
And Seymour Flux 😂
What about the RNG that is Blitzball? My character has 25 attack and the defender has 15 endurance. Youd think simple math would make me the winner but nope.
Imagine still thinking Tidus time traveled at the beginning of the game
HAHAHA THE BIGGEST LIE OF THE ENTIRE STORY
Imagine still thinking that the laughing scene wasn't intended to sound fake
@Darth Xero The way I understand it, Dream Zanarkand is actually just far away into the sea.
Tommy Vercetti you are right, it is a an actual destination far out in the ocean that Spirans could hypothetically travel to. Sin is Yu Yevon's super-weapon/armor and is used to prevent people from ever advancing technologically enough to find Dream Zanarkand
I think of it like the esper world from FFVI. Set apart from the real world, but there's technically a way in, which pretty much can't be found, except for the 0.0001% chance that one person (Jecht/Madeline) stumbles in without looking for it
"I'm not sure how they got here from Bevelle, there's no road"
There literally is a road. It's the left branch before you leave to the Calm Lands from the forest.
Did you play this game or have someone else do it?
He clearly only watched the *voiced* cutscenes.
Most of his questions would have been answered if he had actually played it.
Like the "two people summoning the same Aeon" question.
Fucking. Really?
Proof enough.
Son Kirin
I have a hard time believing that, even if it is true.
Did he blast through it or something? Did he not READ?
How could he ask so many of these questions when most of them are answered in-game?
Granted, in text NPC dialogue and optional content, but the answers are *still* there, nonetheless.
How can one have the gall to sin a game and not have explored it *thoroughly!?"*
That would be like if I said Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Fluff Sandwiches were disgusting while only eating a Peanut Butter Sandwich.
You just don't leave shit out and call "Foul" like that.
Son Kirin
That is reaching and you know it.
If it is a “character” he’s playing, he should lead with that so misunderstandings don’t happen.
Even so, who would willingly play an “intellectual” character that makes himself look like a jackass by leaving out details, thus undermining his entire argument?
It’s self-defeating and makes no logical sense.
No. He clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
You can’t just skip the little shit when nitpicking *is your job.*
He is no longer picking nits at that point; but creating holes himself, and then blaming the game for it.
Either a lack of integrity or just lazy.
Stop making excuses.
My guess is that he didn't play the game recently enough before making the video. Such details like the road to Bevelle is easy to overlook if you're going from just memory.
Yeah a lot of these were bad nitpicks answered in game or just needing common sense. Like Tidus could have escaped easy from the al bhed by swimming but then what? He's in the middle of an ocean in a world he knows nothing about, not even near real zanarkand. I'd have stayed put too
20:15 Auron couldn't just tell them Yevon was corrupt. They wouldn't have believed it. They had to see it for themselves.
It's excaclty what he says before they meet with Yunalesca: "If I had told you the truth, would that really have stopped you from coming?"
Poor explanation
@@YOSEPHALLEN92 I rather prefer having a poor explanation that works than knowing the ending just from the beginning of the game.
The stupidest thing about this game is that every time a summoner obtains the final summoning they have to sacrifice a guardian to become the final aeon. Every single summoner has had to do this but it is never mentioned and is a complete shock to everyone when it comes up.
@@markhill8150 Yevon (the organization) suppresses the knowledge.
Errors in this video:
1. The boat from Kilika to Luca IS different from the one going from Besaid to Kilika. It has a different name and some other minor differences (e.g. lack of crossbows on the front).
2. You DO need to cross Macalania Lake in order to reach the temple, it's literally in the game.
3. The Al Bhed destroyed Home to kill the fiends and guado, not because they thought it would be taken over.
4. Bevelle has air defences because Sin can fly, duhh...
5. Impacting a "bird" IS better than impacting the ground, if the "bird" is also falling but at a slower rate.
6. Yes Macalania Forest IS linked to the temple, there's even a pathway in the game (blocked by a soldier until endgame).
7. The ball is clearly under neutral buoyancy: an object with the same density as the fluid in which its immersed will neither rise nor sink; it will remain at depth and position unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
There is one NPC who lost his memory. He’s setting at the end of the dock after Sin attacked the village.
Possibly two villagers. The one you mentioned and the kid who runs around in circles and comically declares, "I want to be a blitzball when I grow up!" Not PLAYER, mind you. BLITZBALL. Lol

You had just betrayed Yevons teachings by doing the cloister of trials whilst not yet being a guardian. It’s pretty safe to assume about 60% of people on that beach. Didn’t want you there.
i mean she WAS trying to do us a favor lol
@Karen Emery "Fuck you, little girl! Sorry, Sin's Toxin!"
Sin counter 26 : That's not true, there's a person affected by Sin's toxines in Kilica and he has no memories...
@That Frosty Ape yeah and maybe gils fall out of the sky ? I think the toxins are a better explanation though
Sins toxin is a myth. That's the entire point.
yes, I think it's Isken., one of the kilika blitzball players
Another person in Kilika, Tatts, was also affected.
I think that the fact its a very missable NPC only puts the emphasis on the point that Sin's toxin is just a convenient plot device so they don't have to explain it. Also, we're told that it's Sin's toxin, but that could just be literal PTSD with what little explanation given about Sin's toxin, 2 to 3 obscure NPCs who "have it" just to confirm it "exists" is just bad writing and still a sin.
@@turntapeover5749 Gatta gets affected too after their failed operation. And there's 2 people in Kilika plus some more after the operation, while en route to Djose Temple. It just means that Dartigan doesn't take the time to talk to NPCs.
Yuna tells him about Auron because, like she told Tidus before, she is convinced that the Jecht she met was his dad.
And you meet people with amnesia because of Sin's toxins: first cases are in Kilika. If you don't know, it means that you don't interact much with NPCs :)
Yeah, it's not unreasonable to think the conversation could have gone
"Someone said they saw Sir Auron in a cafe!"
"Who's that?"
"A friend of your father's."
Up to that point, it's not mentioned Auron was Braska's guardian. It's still an out of nowhere comment because hey, we have to introduce Auron back in the game. Its sloppy writing.
@@turntapeover5749 OK, but that changes nothing. Even if the player doesn't know about Braska's guardians at this point, Yuna does know who they were. And in her mind, she's certain that her Jecht is also Tidus' which would mean that they know the same Auron. Him being her dad's bodyguard is inconsequential here.
@@turntapeover5749 I mean auron is a legendary guardian in the game and even barthello knows who auron is so it wouldn't surprise me that tidus is the only one who doesn't know that he and his father were guardians of braska I don't think you paid attention to the game.
There's actually a few characters who have supposedly been poisoned by Sin's toxin. They're random nameless people that you have to talk to, outside of the cutscenes, so you'll have to pretty much find them. Otherwise, yeah, Tidus is the only one with "Sin's toxin" here.
23:19 - Auron's determination was still too strong for his body to be sent. This was also the case when Yuna first attempted to perform a sending on Seymour. Their spirits and bodies must be first weakened in order to perform a sending.
It’s not rocket science dude exactly
Plus, Auron almost did get sent when Yuna sent Seymour’s father outside of that farplane portal.
He is unphased though when Seymour is finally sent

It's comical that they keep telling Tidus it's his story.

It's Tidus' story actually. He's the one Jecht and Auron center on
@@likeicareusewe
To both of ya:
*Tidus: Yuna! This is our story. Now let's see this thing through together!*
It's a shitty story
It is Tidus story though. Yea if Yuna went though with the final summon then it was her but it was Tidus sacrifice at the end. He let go of his entire existence for a world he barely knew. He sacrificed everything. Did you finish the game?
@@Eskimo_iio it's the best story a video game has ever done lol
14:10 Jecht was memorialized by Zanarkand, his smug face is on billboards everywhere and his various records remain unbroken. He is treated like a legit hero because he was really good at the sportsball. Tidus would never escape Jecht's shadow no matter what he did.
Personally, I always theorized that Tidus pursued Blitzball to eventually surpass and truly destroy Jecht's legacy by making people forget him. Is would be cruel, petty, and vicious, yeah, but Tidus hates Jecht and spite can be a powerful motivator. This would have also made Tidus much more interesting!
SIN didnt take Tidus to the future, he just took him out of Dream Zanerkand to Baaj.
He knnows, did you people even watch the full video?
I thought he (Tidus) was killed in the attack on Zanerkand 1000 years ago and the Fayth were dreaming him into the present day ... and that's why he joins them at the end and explains the 'perfect' ending of x2?
@@faho8221 Not quite, I'll explain:
Dream Zanarkand was a distant location in present time designed to look like how Zanarkand looked 1000 years ago. The whole place and it's population were dreams made by the fayth. Tidus wasn't taken to the future. He was just thrown out of Dream Zanarkand. Back then (1000 years ago), the people of Zanarkand were sacrificed by Yu Yevon and made into fayth to keep Zanarkand alive by creating a new Zanarkand distant from mainland Spira and a monster (Sin) to protect it.
@@ricksterdrummer2170 so why did Sin atack Dream Zanarkand? Just to take Tidus to Spira?
@@ivanroman8914 Yes, though I don't think its destruction was on purpose, as Jecht stated he had trouble controlling himself as Sin.
Also yeah the ages of the characters in this game make no sense...
Tidus: Looks 18-20 (17)
Yuna: looks 18-20 (17)
Auron: looks mid 50s (35)
Wakka: Mid thirties (22)
Lulu: early thirties (22)
Kimari: ? (25)
Rikku: 17-19 (15?!)
That's the power of anime for you. 😎
I just figured that Auron's age stopped being counted after he died. He looked closer to 35 in the flashbacks. Still, the other ages are goofy to so it's likely just an oversight.
Its all about health care man... With life expectancy measure by sin mood... I expect people will be matured faster. And with the threat of dying anytime with fiend roaming the streets... The stress will accumulate easily.
It's because the original concept of the game was gonna be about how people are killed or sacrificed when they turned 21 or 18, I can't remember which off the top of my head.
@@aaronpop0083 17.
Oh shit. You've had this in reserves for months.
Nobody messes with games that we love.
10:26 - Why is this a sin? Considering there are many fiends in every corner of Spira, this plays out correctly.
Yeah but we also find out later that you don’t need to die, you can just be a zombie if you want
Actually, it's not a sin at all. There are temple summoners at each of the temples who can perform sendings for the towns and cities nearby. They're mentioned in passing and there are actual NPC summoners in the temples themselves, but since a lot of the unimportant NPCs aren't given proper names or even state what they do its hard to pick them out from the crowd of nameless faces. Hell, Seymour is also a temple summoner, technically speaking, before he becomes a maester and goes full anime evil mode. He's the temple summoenr for the Macalania temple. Ergo, they should be able to send the people who die with decent regularity, assuming that there isn't a summoner on their pilgrimage nearby.
What should actually be a sin is why there are so many fiends in the game in areas where there shouldn't be that many unsent souls. Other than the Mushroom Rock Road, Bikanel Island, Mount Gagazet, Zanarkand, the Omega Ruins, and that temple you get Anima from, almost every other area in Spira is directly adjacent to or a part of an active Temple of Yeven. So assuming there is at least a temple summoner at each of the temples, there shouldn't be any fiends anywhere else in Spira at all. Of course, that would make for a pretty boring game, but hey don't blame me blame the lore.
@@theStonerKid69
Flippant tone: It was so much easier back then to think of all the monsters you were fighting as infinite because it was a video game, why are there hundreds of wolves, chimeras, slot machines, and enemy troops?
.......well I gotta get some action somehow, I'm playing a video game
@@theStonerKid69 I mean there have to be two things to consider here:
1 - That there isn't really too much of a threat from fiends unless you venture into unusual territories like some of those you listed. As we see the Aurochs training on the beach/people seeing Yuna off, the small crowd that was at Kilika Temple, regular people walking along the Mi'hen Roads; the game only seem to make fiends a serious threat if they're special like Sinspawns or BIG, or in terms of not wanting their loved ones turned into a vicious monster (which really shouldn't even be a threat if they're living in a town anyway). And the cities and towns are essentially fiend free enough for people to live comfortably from them.
And 2 - there appear to be fiends regardless of whether there were death or not. I.e. the Sinspawns which are just dropped off of Sin, Evrae who is implied to be control by Yevon - though people debate its fiend status, and the Guado summoning them at will through pyreflies. We also got the implication that they can be revived as well "she sent fiends to test our summoner's strength" as if Auron knew exactly what was coming. And it doesn't seem like every unsent become fiends anyway. We seen the dead summoner in the stolen fayth area, after all. And she was probably the most direct contradiction to what we were told much earlier by Lulu. Our only example of a fiend seemingly appearing from dead bodies is the one in the Summoner's Santrum of the Al Bhed home... but there were two summoners there who practically been sending all day.
So TL;DR; there's reason to believe that some are naturally occurring even without people dying + there isn't really much of a threat from them unless they're particular large or powerful but there's also no real way to eradicate them - as long as pyreflies exist anyway. So the real sin here would honestly be skating over a bunch of details regarding fiends to deliver plot twists about unsents people lol.
Zeronigel332 Only exceptional beings with an incommensurable attachment to life are proven to be able to linger after death as unsent, it is not what your average joe could pull off.
6:56 Tidus didn't knew that Yuna was a young single woman, he thought she was an old hag before he saw her for the first time.
6:50
He specifically says that he had no idea it was going to be a cute girl. Before he saw yuna he thought all summoners were- and I quote, "Old geezers".
As far his character development is, Tidus do care about other people even when he doesn't know who they are. So, acting like that when he knows someone might die (specially if it's an old geezer) is kinda correct.
The script doesn't help, but you can imagine Tidus's mindset if you think for a moment. Tidus survived an apocalyptic event where millions must have died. He washed up on a wrecked island that looked to have been inhabited not too long ago. I can see Tidus being triggered by the idea of someone dying while everyone else stood back because tradition.

Golden comment 🤣
I'll keep writing this as I go through with the video and might make some changes throughout
Sin 26 : Wrong, just speak to people in Kilika (especially the blitzball player in his house) and you'll find one.
Sin 47 : The two boats have different names. Similar doesn't mean same.
Sin 63 : He can't. You can try, it won't budge.
Sin 76 : Because she knows Auron was her father's guardian and Jecht too. Tidus already mentionned that Jecht is his father. Logical.
Sin 80 : Religion has nothing to do with sports. It's not like blitzball is sponsored by Yevon's cult. Also, how do you think blitzball spheres work ? With magic ? I'd rather say with machina indeed.
Sin 83 : I wouldn't kidnap someone in public. Maybe, you know, drag her away then drug her so she has no opportunity to respond.
Sin 96 : Well yes, there is a difference between seasonal leagues and tournaments. It happens in real life too.
Sin 99 : He could just introduce himself as Jecht's friend.
Sin 105 : You already said that the Pilgrimage is a sham so what is preventing the people from Yevon to restrict these to only when Sin is active ? (pure conjecture from my part)
Sin 113 : Summoners were a thing 1000 years ago.
Sin 129 : Yuna, Lulu and Rikku spoke in private so, at this point, Yuna knows that Rikku is her cousin.
Sin 131 : Seymour is half human, half Guado.
Sin 142 : Well, you see him resisting in the same cutscene.
Sin 180 : I'm pretty sure many people in real life wouldn't be able to announce to others the future death of one of their most important person.
Sin 187 : I'm pretty sure Sin spawns aren't are glued to the ground.
Sin 201 : In my opinion, this is the biggest sin of all people who think they are FFX fans. I'll ask one simple question : Which was the machina city and summoners city in Spira 1000 years ago between Bevelle and Zanarkand ? If you answered Zanarkand for machina city, you understood nothing about the story since it's the reverse. So it makes total sense that so many machinas are present in Bevelle.
Sin 227 : Are you kidding ? "People of the North Pole" is one of the best soundtrack in the FF series.
Sin 233 : Sharing non war associated technologies with other big cities is a thing.
Sin 234 : I'm pretty sure the war started for a reason. Maybe say, the danger of the summoners's powers ?
Sin 240 : As inconsistant as your way to write Yevon.
Sin 243 : The way Auron was transported to Bevelle is explained just a bit later. How did Auron aged ? What about Tidus then ? Yes, something about the dreamers.
This wall of text was written by a FFX fan with no ill reason, take it or not.
@Sin 227: TOTALLY agree! That song is SO good!!!
Yeah this video is trash
“Tidus is completely unnecessary”
This is a ridiculous statement, tidus is absolutely the direct cause of the eternal calm. His refusal to let Yuna die, and his will to find another option, led to the team deciding to kill sin outright to begin with.
But Yuna could've just decided that herself. I will say that Tidus being the fish out of water for this story helps the party, since he's always questioning the customs of Spira.
@@haziqtheunique she never would have without his influence. It’s painfully obvious has necessary he was for the plot, especially when you get to yunalesca

How the fuck could Yuna do that herself when she didnt posses the leadership, backbone, life experience or confidence to even make half of her decisions be plausible and she was being babysat by an entire group of people who knew her better than she knew herself? Did you play the game? Did you play it properly till the end?

@@haziqtheunique Yuna couldn't decide shit for herself and she only ever gets close like choosing to marry Seymour cause she was being toughened up by events that were cause and effect due to actions they committed with the influence of Tidus in their party.

There actually is a blitzball player in Kilika that also got poisoned by Sin. He is inside a destroyed hut and there is a woman next to him that says: "Please excuse him. He got poisoned by Sin" or something similar to that. When you talk to him, he just tells you to screw off basically.
Also just for the record, there is no time travel in this game. Check out dansg08's video if you are interested.
Also there is that brown skinned crusader that you sorta see now and again from Besaid. You can find on the beach who is all fucked up in the head too can't remember things.
@@aliasv6964 Gatta? Gatta doesn't have any toxin problems. He has PTSD.
Sin Toxin, in all honesty, is something of a Yevon conspiracy - a method to make someone crazy or someone who is against Yevon kind of unnoticeable or justified. That way avoiding to deal with it. Tidus and the rest of the crew got hit by Toxin a few times, but it never truly affected them (apart from I guess losing consciousness, but that was more of a post-sin travelling effect). It's sort of whole purpose of this game, to show that a lot of faith is corrupted - church telling that, for example, holy water can heal you, but in this case - as long as you atone for your sins and sacrifice yourself, Sin "might" go away eventually.
Sin's been around for a thousand years, and sins entire purpose was to protect Dream Zanarkand. It's not surprising at all that Yevon would take Sin to Zanarkand occasionally to check on it. Jecht just happened to be caught up in it.
Jecht still had free will up until his fight with him. He knowingly and willingly took Auron to DZ to watch over Tidus, a journey that would've been impossible had Auron not been unsent. When Sin comes back at the beginning of the game, Auron welcomes him with a raised jug, and converses with him before taking Tidus to Spira.
Then, wouldn't Sin be a known quantity in Dream Zanarkand? Everyone would've seen it before if that were the case, but everyone in Dream Zanarkand acts like it's the first time when it comes to abduct Tidus.
@SigmaSyndicate not if Sin usually observed from a distance, Jecht was lost at sea which we later find out was due to Sin taking him outside of the dream. If the first time he actually entered the city fully was when he was taking Tidus it could be that case, alternatively with it being in a dream the citizens may have been restored to prior to Sin's visit without recollection of it either way we won't really know because we don't get to see events there after the opening.
Around 26 minutes in, you missed a sin. In the underwater battle against the Al Bhed, Yuna is trapped inside the sphere and you can't control her, yet after you win, she's listed as a party member who receives 0 XP.
Also the fact that seymour earnt sphere grid moves that you can’t access, which I guess the grid would be similar to Yuna.
@@HeapsOfAmmo The grid is the same for all the party members, it just starts you in different areas, dependent on character, unless you use the Expert Grid in the Remaster or Japanese versions of the game, then it starts off with everyone in the same place and makes the grid smaller for more of a challenge, which I never do, because I hate it.

44:40: Bevelle also had summoners. Also, as shown with the optional Yojimbo fight, if someone doesn't want to get sent, they can resist the process forcing you to have to fight them.
6:55
I guess you forgot the part where Tidus didn't even know the summoner was a woman at first. He thought it was an "old geezer" as he quote. Making his actions a lot more selfless.
Minus every sin in this video.
That's wrong he actually did know, and that was his motivation entirely. A couple of times there are conversations Tidus hears where they mention the summoner by her female pronoun (referring to the sumoner as her). Before that Tidus literally could not care less and even says so on a few occassions.
Plus they would be suspicious because he claims he doesn't know about summoners anyway?! But if he's from the past then he'd have known about them, and if he ISN'T from the past and is just crazy - then being a regular citizen he would know about them anyway (as all the other regular citizens ALL know about summoners).
It seems like to me, that Yuna from the off was supposed to be the main character, but at the last minute some idiot decided that they had to have yet another pre-teenage blonde mopped hippy idiot BOY instead.
The more I think about this game, the more it sucks! I still get annoyed lol it was supposed to be amazing!!!! LOL.
@@DailyCorvid Yuna sucks as a main character
@@DailyCorvid Just shut the fuck up and admit you personally hate it. The game is nationally and globally accredited in every gaming list by companies, magazines and countdown as one of the greatest top 10 PlayStation games of all time and its a fact. It was groundbreaking for its time in graphics and the new addictions to the Final Fantasy series. Tidus was supposed to be a complex character not easily liked and tbh is no more unlikable than squall. I played the game Squall was the main character of and hated his character he was just an ass and moody being complex when he didn't have to be. Both him & Tidus have family issues but his is more valid cause his parents discarded him & he had to basically raise himself with an "uncle" watching nearby. He had no other skill to develop than to be a soccer star like his dad. Squall was an orphan who chose to sign up to go to an Academy to become a part of a faction to defend the world.
@@DailyCorvid you're literally wrong about that entire rambling incoherent reply. Well done.
"He's just a blue Red XIII"

35:24 I hated that announcement. also it sounds like he's saying "I'm annoying huh?" which makes it even more annoying
I always thought it said "An annoying sound!"
I also heard "I'm annoying huh" when I was a kid, lol.

It’s albed he is saying something like everyone underground or something like move down. Idk someone that knew it told me dansgr8 is his TH-cam.
When I researched the Al Bhed Home on Final Fantasy Wiki (see link below), the broadcast says "ihtanknuiht, huf!" ("underground, now!").
finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Home
5:20 "there isn't a single other person in the game poisoned by Sin".
The guy in Kilika who screams at you for talking to him? No? Even when his wife tells you that he's been poisoned by Sin's toxin?
Just one person is easy to miss.
I actually thought that it was just an euphemism for “special needs”. Because no one else was seen affected. Note this line in from the crusader in Besaid:
IS SIN TOXIN THIS SEVERE, SIR?
The reason Aron acts like this in the game is because he wanted to let the others see the truth with their own eyes. He is never surprised. He wants Yuna to finish her pilgrimage so they see the truth for themselves. Aron do know really well what he is doing.
I'm so sick of people giving the bad laughing scene crap. It's supposed to be bad. They're fake laughing. Badly forcing a laugh because Summoners ad Guardians are Spira's hope. So it helps if they at least appear happy to the people they meet. Tidus and Yuna share in that moment. It literally ends with them legitimately enjoying a laugh at how silly they are.
Doesn't mean I want to see it. Keep that crap out of my game.
9:18 they're two different ships, you can read the names of the ships in the menu
"I name all of my horses Roach" - Dartigan

The boat to Kilika is the SS Liki.
The boat to Luca is the SS Winno.
Big difference.
There’s like five people on the dock tidus . No one cares.
Love this game and this video is hilarious
uhm... excuse me, but I saw this on recommended and I think there's a mistake, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this game, thank you very much. (except maybe the chocobo "race" and the 200 lightning minigame)
I was about to say that. Thank you for saving me the effort 😂
I totally agree with you -.- stupid thunders, stupid race
half of these sins are moot, he doesn’t have a solid and comprehensive understanding of the plot.
@@claudiopolonia7854
Lmao like theres any comprehension of this bullshit story line 😹 shut the hell up, games a cluster fuck of shit like kingdom hearts.
Basically anything that doesn't involve dialogue and combat.
29:40
Come on man I know you're better than that. The game says that Jecht went out to sea and he got caught in a storm. He then washed up on mainland Spira. Dream Zanarkand is a physical location out at sea that Sin is mandated to protect, it's not ludicrous to think someone could accidentally find their way to the mainland eventually.
I never knew that, where is it said?
@@CErra310 Ultimania guide. But you can find it online too. Dream Zanarkand is off the far west coast of Spira
@@Northwite also Jecht knew he would become the next sin when he gave his life for Lord Braskas. He gave a sin for the game not explaining that. Meanwhile it did. I am not expecting him to get everything right but that one is a pretty big one.
@@seank7227 That fact is why Jecht is my favourite character of the game and of all FF in general. Jecht is portrayed as being a meat head but he had the intelligence to come up with the plan that would ultimately end the cycle of Sin's rebirth. Sin figured that Tidus would act just like he did. As an outsider who doesn't understand why everyone is going along with all this nonsense. When he found out that he would become Sin, he decided to use Tidus to finish the job he started. Convince the world that the cycle needs to be broken, and use anything you can to do it. Tidus asked the questions, he pushed the unconventional thinking, and Jecht knew that he would do it.
The only part of it that is a plot hole is that there is nothing to suggest that Jecht could have known or found out that the Final Aeon could exert mental control over Sin for any period of time after becoming the new Sin. Jecht either pieced that together somehow, or it was just a huge gamble.
@@Northwite well it's not just the Ultimania. In the Farplane, when speaking to Yuna, Tidus says that Jecht left home and never came back. And when you reach the top of Mt. Gagazet you reach the wall of Fayth summoning... something. Until Bahamut reveals that the thing they're summoning is Zanarkand and all of its inhabitants. There's are a couple other subtle hints as well such as the fact that the real Zanarkand rests atop a mountain while the Dream version is surrounded by ocean
I find the complaint about "color-swapped enemies" amusing. You act like FF 10 started this. You don't play many FF games, do you? That's been a thing since the 1st game.
Let's not mention other franchises ~cough~MortalKombat~cough~.
I actually don't remember that many palette swaps from the PSX games.
Ephraim225 There weren’t a lot in 7/8/9, because there weren’t a ton of different enemies in them. The S/NES games had a toooon of color swaps.
Doesn't make it any less of a sin,
@@darthnovo3526 No, but it is inaccurate to accuse FFX of starting this trend or the linear corridor thing, especially when FFXII was between FFX and FFXIII.
The boats that go from Besaid to Kilika and Kilika to Luca are not the same boat. If you open the menu on either boat, it gives your location as the name of the boat, and they're different. They're just designed exactly the same.
6:51 Tidus didn't know Yuna was the summoner yet - before he assumed they were "all old geezers". He disrespected an entire culture's religion but because he's a stand-up guy and felt bad for the elderly
A lot things that makes this video outright wrong. First, "There's no one else who suffers from Sin's toxin in the entire game." I guessed he missed the guy in one of the houses in Killika.
About the Sending, and how there are few summoners to do them. There ARE a lot of fiends in Spira, so that tracks, not something wrong.
Auron and Jecht BOTH guarded Braska during Braska's Pilgrimage, so Yuna knows Jecht knew Auron, and was telling Tidus that Braska's other guardian (Auron) was in Luca. Yuna was telling Tidus about Auron being there, so maybe they could get answers about Jecht.
About the Al Bhed being participants in the tournament in Luca, there could be some things that cross religious and cultural bounds. Is the Al Bhed participating any stranger than the Soviets participating in the Olympic Games?
\About the Al Bhed kidnapping of Yuna: First, again, since Yuna's link to the Al Bhed is explained later, they may not have kidnapped her. Second, the demands could (and probably were) a smokescreen.
"Yuna's Al Bhed heritage should be common knowledge." Except Yevon has a bad habit of covering up bits that they don't like. Look at Auron's reaction to Braska's statue in Djose.
And Wakka disliked the Al Bhed even before his brother's death.
The season just started with the championship game. No, it started with the Luca opener.
"Just have a bunch of summoners complete their pilgrimage during the Calm so they can be ready as soon as Sin returns." That journey is dangerous, and every summoner CHOOSES to do the pilgrimage.They are not forced (or even coerced) into it.Note, there have been FIVE High Summoners in the 1000 years Sin has existed, so trying to prepare is extremely risky, and who's to say it hasn't been tried before. This is the story about Yuna's and Tidus' journey, and the others are backstory. Important, but a side tangent to the main story.
Actually, the reveal that Yevon is corrupt is completely separate to the summoner's pilgrimage. Just because he met with Yunalesca doesn't mean he knows about Sin's origin. Just wait a bit, and you will see that he doesn't find out about how Sin is reborn until AFTER Braska defeats sin.
"...there are no competing religions so this is completely useless." A scene from I, Jedi sums it up perfectly. Corran Horn and Exar Kun are discussing the Force. "You kill everyone who opposes you. Who's left?" "The faithful." "From which arises a rival" "Which I destroy." They want strengthen the faithful, and get rid of those who are harboring doubts.
"Who sent the dead before summoners became a thing a thousand years ago?" Summoners have always existed, Zanarkand was full of them. In fact, it was the (almost universal trope) war between magic and technology that started Sin.
"It's only due to special circumstances that Yuna's pilgrimage is even difficult." No, all pilgrimages are difficult. Yuna's is just more difficult. And again, summoners have to pray in every temple.
"Even with the solemn duty of sacrificing themselves for the good of Spira weighing on their backs, summoners can be super compeditive over it." Would you be, if you had the chance to be remembered for a thousand years?
"How are machina any worse than magic?" The difference is you don't need any skill to pick up a gun and shoot it, but it takes a training to learn and use magic.
Yuna has the final say on who she wants to be her guardian (as explained in Killika). And Wakka would be the only one who would object. Everyone else knows about Yuna's heritage.
"Auron should have been sent as well." THE VERY NEXT SCENE (which I noticed is cut) EXPLAINS WHY AURON IS STILL ON SIPRA!!!!!!!! Duty binds him.
Might want to wait a bit before putting counters that are later explained by the story. Or do a bit of thinking. I've seen his several videos, and the creator seems to lack a certain skill of critical thinking.
The one slight redeeming factor about this video is he realized why the "Laughing scene" is there. He still tagged it, though. I was watching this video just to see if he would miss the point, and after he missed a lot of other things, I was surprised he actually got the point of that scene. About 2/3s of the way through, and it's obvious this guy is an idiot producing videos to bash a popular game.
Yeah I’m not liking it.

Hope this help you understand something, cheers mate.
" listen to my story this may be our last chance " 💛❤
28:32
You DO know that Seymour is dead too? The only thing is that he hasn't been sent yet. Same thing with Jyscal.
5:20 There IS people infected with Sin's poison in-game.
Kono dio da!!
Yeah. Whether in Kilika or after the Mushroom Road fiasco, for example. He must not have talked with the NPCs.
Yeah one yells at you either on kilika or besaid.
@@shepard6280 Besaid. His wife tells you he got too close to Sin. 😊
Yeah, and that's not the only thing he got wrong. Has he never heard of neutral buoyancy? An object of approximately the same density as the fluid will neither rise nor sink; it will remain in position unless acted on by another force. The ball is clearly neutrally-buoyant.
Tidus was never dead. He was a completely new entity created by the aeons based off the memories of the real 'Tidus': Shuyin. After Yuna's journey in x-2, she was rewarded by the aeons for Tidus to become real.
The Farplane isn't the afterlife. The Pyreflies recreate people's loved ones.
Not even a minute in and he toasted the whole game and it's successors... Damn
The game sold millions worldwide and has gotten top tier scores and reviews.
The game speaks for itself. Dartigan can't change that.
And he has no point. Critisizing 13 for its linearety is ok, but 13-2, LR and 15 are not linear.
I didn't know I can smell salt. Y'all need to make your own comments off this chain lol. I'm about to delete mine to make yours disappear. Obviously we are here for the hate lol
And rightly so
FFXII was actually pretty solid though. He could've at least given praise to that one.
28:24 In this scene, you can visibly watch Auron struggle to stay "alive" as Yuna is performing the sending
He didn't pay attention at all, he just saw a couple of errors at the beginning and said "Yeah this is trash." and kept playing just to have the capacity to say "I played it so I can't be wrong at all."
Even in the same scene, you see Jyscal resisted getting Sent, so...
Sechu MDFK Half of these sins are moot
"I'm annoying huh?" That's what the alert in the Al bhed home sounds like
I always thought it said "An annoying cunt" which goes pretty yell with the game considering its main character
Ryan Miner I thought I heard it say what it was. "Annoying Sound! Annoying Sound!"
When I researched the Al Bhed Home on Final Fantasy Wiki (see link below), the broadcast says "ihtanknuiht, huf!" ("underground, now!").

@@justgrec3640 Thanks, Spoony
I've always had the theory that the Maesters know about Auron knowing everything but they know they can't do anything to him cause he'd kick all their asses instantly so they don't do anything to antagonize him as long as he's just going along with things because of Tidus and Yuna. In short, Auron is just doing his own thing and the Maesters live in fear that he'll kill them all.
plus it's bad press to kill the only surviving hero of killing sin so actively trying to hunt that man who has saved the world sounds ridiculous of anyone finds out they did that shit unprovoked people are gonna start dropping

The "fantasy" in Final Fantasy: Am I a joke to you?
While I love FFX and it was my first FF game, most games have to keep things vague for the player
I have but one question... How much weed did it take to make it through this one?
10 strong hits from the bong, 3 joints and 1½ edibles
All of it.
The capacity of 2 bongs, 5 joints, 3 full bowls and a whole tray of edibles. Itll take double that easily for X-2
"Yes."
Eh, I'm biased heavily with regards to this game but most of these sins can be explained by actually playing the game. Not to mention most sins were incredibly nit picking. I mean if that's the point of these videos then good for you.
This guy goes on nit picking his sins, because he has the right to do it even when its wrong by standart (all praise the content creation clause).
But yeah, he does this in a way that sounds he has not played the game at all (and I strongly believe he has not), but trying to connect dots about things that should be the norm in that kind of world. Like the summoner thing in every isle or the monsters appearing everywhere.
Literally the entire channel is based around nitpicking.
You are just nitpicking.
@@altus2447 Maybe creator should make a new channel and give a better name to it. Something like Nitpicking101 or NitPickingDude.
20:38 Oh come on!
Although I do agree with most of your sin count, for this one I really wonder if you actually played the game.
That laughter was INTENDED to be cringe.
Tidus has been stripped from his former life, has been trying to fit in a world he doesn't know shit about, has faced countless dangers since, has witnessed the pain and sorrow Sin leaves behind and a couple of minutes before this moment Auron just taught him that this evil beast was his father.
Tidus is in such a pain and confusion he doesn't even seem to know how to laugh anymore.
He forces himself to, as Yuna asks him.
And Yuna mimics his laugh because she finds it awkward herself.
Hell, even Tidus says "It's just weird" at the end of the scene.
Everytime I see someone call the game out on that scene I only see two possibilities: either hey haven't played the game and therefore have nothing to say about it, or they did but then it's just bad faith.
That was lame.
Minirock 🙄
That’s not how you pick up girls bud
Final Fantasy x had an amazing story. I'm sick of everyone hating on it but loving 7. The only thing final fantasy 7 did to make it remarkable was being the first final fantasy in 3D. That. Is. It.
Here in Brazil ffx it's like the best rpg of all time, we like ff7, 9... but X was the "over the top" of ps2 and the ff series 🙌
Agree and disagree. Agree: FFX is an AMAZING story, despite some of the obvious problems with the dialogue and some lines of logic. It's also the definition of "show, don't tell," and I'm sorry to say that Dartigan-- while he does bring up some good points-- seems to have missed this completely.
But disagree: I also really liked the story of FF7. They really got a lot of great mileage out of Aerith's death, and OMG Cloud's identity crisis and resolution... just WOW!!!!
@@russellvitranoiii3504 7 isn't even as good as 6 if we are being honest.
As story goes, 10, 6, 7, 12, 5 are my top five
@@Xeno455that’s an insane statement. The characters in ff6 are so basic
18:50
There are tournaments. The losers are knocked out in each match until a winner is determined. There are seasons. Twenty games where you play against all of the other teams at least three times. Big difference.
13:50 - there is a summoning queue, in the summoner battle after getting Bahamut aeons the opponent has summoned can't be summoned as well.
This also happens in the battles with Belgemine
while the battles with Belgemine and Isaaru do reflect this, it still begs the question as to how every aeon you wanted to summon throughout the course of the game happened to be available at the time and not occupied by some other summoner miles away
Easy! Plot convienence. While it may not make a lot of logical sense it would be somewhat moot if you tried to summon when you need to and the game just dick about because it's not your day to get play with Ifrit.
The aeons aren’t exclusive to one summoner 🙁 it’s the fayth that is one of a kind and the aeon is the tangible proof of their contract
"she's 15 by the way"
Dude I was like 13 when I saw first saw it lol
good point good point
I wouldnt call it a funny joke. Though it's funnier than the usual "haha vidya game char isn't legal age of real world country I'm from!" garbage that rains upon the internet. I mean, they mostly look nothing like their age, what's the point of looking up their age like it makes any difference?
Yeah. 15 to them is like 18 to us.
Plus... she isn't real.
Who gives a shit?
For us it's like really strange to see an underage character being sexualized in a JRPG, but just because we forget that the legal age in Japan is 13 and in my country and some others it is 16.
Even like that, I still prefer Lulu or Yunalesca.
@@Sechu_Chu also i think its really funny when we seen games from japan aimed specifically at teen audiences sexualizing a teen character and american audiences go apeshit as if we didnt have a near decade of time where a huge amount of live action shows aimed at teen audiences in america featured a bunch of "teen" wearing pretty revealing clothing and making out every other episode. like its not a japan thing it happens everywhere
47:34 i swear this moment is the crescendo of the entire game.
God i love the "Challenge" music XD.
Actually, you do occasionally encounter people who are affected by Sin's toxins. However, they are entirely unimportant NPCs. One example that comes to mind is in Kilika fter Sin lays waste to the area. In one broken house, you find a man who is basically non-responsive aside from mumbles and grunts, and a nearby women, who is an immediate family member watching over him, saying that he was hit hard by Sin's toxin.
i love that you named one of your aeons “G’ Ramsey”
Shiva was named Karen. Cold hearted b*tch.
"Except there isn't a single other person in the game who is poisoned by Sin."
Lol, you skipped through this game didn't you? There actually is someone else and you can find them in Kilika after it gets attacked. You are told that he's suffering from the toxin and he is rude to you when you talk to him.
You found one nameless dude, in a place nobody in their right mind would ever return to...and his only symptom is being impolite.
...Congratulations??
@@ootdega Lol, you didn't play the game either. Imagine making this weak of a defense of sloppy work and thinking you're smart.
@@Northwite Actually, I have.
Great rebuttal you got there, champ. Bulletproof.
@@ootdega Uh huh, I believe you. Everyone knows that the way you play Final Fantasy or JRPGs in general is to NOT explore locations before and after major events. Especially locations with very few indoor setpieces.
You DEFINITELY played it bruh.
@@Northwite Yeah, I missed talking to one random-ass nameless NPC in a place that you have no reason whatsoever to return to at any point. Never played it. Brilliant. Another excellent rebuttal. Bravo. Keep moving those goalposts. Maybe someone will forget that you're beating your chest over a single line of obscure dialogue.
Or hell, maybe I didn't miss it. In case you didn't notice, the game is eighteen fucking years old. Some of us have more important things to remember than a single line of pointless dialogue from a video game eighteen years ago.
How about you get the fuck over yourself? Self-righteous pseudointellectual tryhard.
I was wondering if he was ever going to make a sin about Tidus' teeth being f'ed up in his character model, but it doesn't seem like he does. So I'll list it here. Ahem. 9:38 "What the f*** is wrong with Tidus' teeth? It looks like the front teeth on the upper row are clipping into his lip, and they also aren't even lined up with the bottom row at all. You'd think even with the basic technology of 2000 that the graphic designers and programmers could at least get two objects to overlay on top of each other correctly, but apparently the guy who was supposed to do it was drunk on the job."
That’s right. The fiends in the stadium didn’t walk into the stadium. They were summoned by the guano. And Seymour took them out to make him look good. Sin removed.
11:10 "I'm not sure what repairs they are performing on that clearly totaled boat, but damn if they aren't giving it a shot". Hoooooly crap, I never questioned that before.
As someone who absolutely loves ff12 hell I repay it every now and then please rip into that game
Sin 141: Jyscal recorded the video before he was killed. As to why he didn't give the sphere to anyone before it happened, I don't have an answer
8:50 you should've used the other sphere grid...
yeah...the other sphere grid has less spheres-sockets (so you can't really max every stats but the most important ones are like 3 or 5 over like 6 or 8 stats including HPs and MPs) but you can transform kimanrhi in a Rikku(at least until you get Rikku...after that he really becomes useless)
@@derokdeathaxe6984 you can do crazier shit than that. i had kimahri, rikku, yuna and tidus all able to steal (tidus admittedly through a sphere to copy a node someone else activated) with kimahri, rikku and yuna all having the use command too. not to mention siding wakka into auron's grid for more early damage.
and the cherry on top? early reflect for the Seymour natus fight....by having rikku learn it.
@@derokdeathaxe6984 yes you can technically max everything on the expert sphere grid except Luck, which doesnt need maxing anyway, with 255 accuracy and around 180+ Luck, you will never miss anything. And with the Celestial Weapons, critical hits are mostly irrelevant.
(edit) well Luck and HP, but there's no point going to 99999 HP ever lol
Everything on this seems to come from the original American version for the ps2. Not the PAL or Japanese international version. It also misses dark Aeons which with the nitpicks he would have ripped them all apart including penance. Surprised he didn't have a big attack on Yojimbo.
@@faelirra Probably because Yojimbo, and everything the international version added was optional, and not tied to the story. He didnt bring mention to Belgemine or the Omega Ruins either.
42:48 "Think of all the pond water getting in their mouths." HAHAHA, hysterical. Your whole critique on the Macalania makeout scene is priceless
Multiple people can possess the same aeon. Imagine the Fayth a sacred temple flame, with the summoner's aeon being a flame in a lantern. It similar to Shinto practice of having multiple shrines and relics of Inari that possess the power of that same kami but at the same time be considered an individual kami. Same source, but somewhat different. Much of this game is influenced greatly by shintoism.
I genuinely like playing Blitzball and have spent dozens if not hundreds of hours doing it.
Then you are a moron who doesn't know how a good game works
I was addicted to bliztball. People don't know that there is a learning curve once you get passed makes the game really interesting.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure they didn't play anymore outside of the story matches to understand there's a lot more to it.
Has someone turned "Tidus and Yuna forcing themselves to laugh" into a ringtone so I can use it for my wake-up alarm?
u are some creepy and messed up dude, Sir
The dead would wake up to turn that shit off.
10:27 Not every summoner is sent on a pilgrimage. There are temple summoners at each of the temples who can perform sendings for the town and cities nearby. They're mentioned in passing and there are actual NPC summoners in the temples themselves, but since a lot of the unimportant NPCs aren't given proper names or even state what they do its hard to pick them out from the crowd of nameless faces. I think the bigger sin would be the presence of fiends in places where there would otherwise be a adjacent temple not far off, like Djose highroad, where there should be enough summoners nearby to send people who die with decent regularity.
Heck, Seymour was mentioned to be a temple summoner for Macalania temple before he became maester and turned, well, full anime evil mode.
Not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but with the Guado being at Home. They weren't there for Yuna. They were attacking home because they obviously knew that it was the Al bhed kidnapping the summoners and found them. They were there to kill all of the summoners. That way Seymour's plan could work. It was to ensure only Yuna was alive to defeat Sin so Seymour could become the next Sin. They picked Yuna up by chance.
20:43 if you call the laughing scene "cringe" you did not understand the scene, it was suposed to be a forced laugh and then they laugh for real soon after, it's a shame that some people can be so blind towards a scene
