Final Fantasy X is what solidified the JRPG genre for me. With its cinematic elements, improvements on previous games, it opened up and showed the potential of the Final Fantasy Universe. And the Final Fantasy X HD remake helps gives this game the attention it deserves with an visual update, and many many new challenges I'll have to complete. This game holds a special place in my heart, and be sure to stay until the end because it gets a bit sappy. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, tuned in each week, and kept this dream going. I'm forever grateful for each and every one of you and still can't believe that we made it to one million subscribers.
Let me know what you thought about my Final Fantasy X HD review!

Thanks to the support of all of you and friends and family, The Completionist continues to thrive. We are eternally grateful and we couldn't be more excited to rush to see what's in store for us next.
You deserve a lot! You and your team!
Thank you for so many hours of great entertainment you've given us!
You did not thank the beard
Didn't you already reach one million subs like 4 years ago? I do believe so
Mannnn you had to get me emotional at the end? Love your channel long time supporter of yall keep it up 2 Mill is around the corner!! Btw mad props on Chrono music lol
Please, complete Sonic Colors. This game is really special to me when I played it.
"the surprisingy genuine and believable romance between Yuna, and Meg Ryan."
Amazing quote lol
Truer words were never spoken
I always thought Yuna looked like Kelly Clarkson. If only.
@@PlutoTheSecond ewww plz don't do Yuna like that comparing her to that swamp donkey.
@@mr.sinjin-smyth In other words, no one ever said that they loved you.
It's ridiculous some people don't get how that scene is supposed to be ackward and they are forcing themselves to laugh... also, they laugh normally RIGHT AFTER because they relieved so much stress.
Exactly Yuna knows what awaits her at journeys end and Tidus is in a strange land far from home (and as far he knows his time) and everyone he knows they're both terrified and overwhelmed.
A fuck it kind of laugh a live or die kinda laugh
But you have to admit the memes are hilarious
You can say that’s the point, but the point is still poorly acted and completely nonsensical.
@@MrMetalforever5 they literally laugh like normal people at the end of the scene... of course the voice acting isn't spectacular in FFX, but it's not trash either.
@@nataliesmith5393 The memes are glorious
The Completionist thank you for being the only other person ive come across that has understood the laughing scene and didn't just trash it like a moron
I Know Right?!?
That scene was a very important moment in the character development between Tidus and Yuna
It was a terrible scene indeed, but the luca experience was magical theyre forgiven.
EVERYONE understands that scene.
It doesn't make it less awkward
I don't think anyone with a functioning brain couldn't see the significance of the scene or I would like to hope
As much as I loved FF7 remake, I really would like a turn based FF again and a setting like X’s where it’s not tied to modern day or medieval
Me too. It’s a shame because I beat FFX a few months ago, and they just announced FFXVI which is yet another action RPG. I want them to go back to the series’s roots, but I feel like it’s never gonna happen at this point
@Zeeko Zappo Games need to update with the times.... you can't just keep making the same type of game year on year and expect to stay relevant. Most people don't want turn based combat outside of Japan, they want something a bit more complex and stylistic... its not about being Vapid - you can still have open flowing combat and a complex story and refined battle system that provides enough flexibility and challenge to be exciting.
@Zeeko Zappo Just because you want to believe everyone is dumber than you for enjoying something that you don't... doesn't make it true.
Just because a game doesn't have turn based combat doesn't mean it can't have depth and doesn't make it garbage - FF7 remake has a lot of depth and flexibility with the Materia system and the new ATB system - it has a reasonably lowish floor to make it appealing but it has a high ceiling if you want to push it to its limits and try to challenge yourself... It has depth especially as it goes into more detail about Midgar, wall market, etc than the original did.
Its not just about appealing to the "Masses", due to the inherent change in the RPG market with more games focusing on fast and Fluid combat in an open world rather than a slower turn based system they have adapted - games have changed over the past 10 years and you have to move with them unfortunately.
But more importantly just because the game doesn't appeal to you doesn't make it Vapid/Bland.
I still love the original final fantasies (I have every FF ever made) but I can also appreciate the newer ones as well.
@Zeeko Zappo Again just because you don't like it doesn't make it Vapid or Trash. The original FF7 story wasn't anything special either - it was an anime storyline just like almost every final fantasy... they are anime storylines (usually with nods to Environmental impact or Corruption).
You also have to remember its only a third of the story compared to the full story we got in the original FF7 so the 2 aren't comparable as its not a self contained story - you are looking at a 3rd of the painting.
You say there is nothing wrong with enjoying "Garbage" but then proceed to call anyone who does enjoy "Garbage" dumb... which implies there is something wrong with it.
The game was smaller than the original... which is why there is significantly less variety in Materia, characters and abilities... bearing in mind in the original you had the basic varieties of Materia and couldn't access half of the characters when you were in Midgar (No Cid, No Yuffie, No Vincent and No Cait Sith) but this is why IMO it feels "watered down" because they are trying to limit everything based on what you had in the original game (Only Tifa, Barrett, Cloud and occasionally Aerith) whilst still trying to keep the game deep enough. I never said it was Clever or brilliant but it isn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination
The game has its flaws (I don't agree with everything they did) but I enjoyed the depth they gave in terms of Midgar and did enjoy the combat system, would I have liked the option of a turn based system... yes and I think that should have implemented it but trying to pretend the game is utter garbage is a bit of a stretch.
@UCX5b0yY4YfjJ39a_VBFZ0FA I read what you said "They’re looking to strictly appeal to the dumbed, vapid masses" thats you not calling people dumb then...
FF7's story wasn't that great, especially when you look at the section this game portrays which is the opening section... you are looking at 1 section of a story and claiming the entire story is better than this one unfinished section.
I meant FF7 is an anime story - which it is... its a quintessential anime story. My feelings aren't hurt at all - I just dont like when people imply that a game is dumb because they didn't like it or didn't enjoy it.
Seeing love for Final Fantasy X never fails to make me happy, great video! Congratulations on 1 million subs!
Smelly my ass ya basterd
Hey Berk!
Ikr! Praise be to Yevon! Btw your profile pic is freaking awesome.
Love this video of FFX and I appreciate your videos as well! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks man, forever flying the FFX flag!
Grats on 1 mil! Here’s to 2 mil.
PeanutButterGamer shut up poopbuttgayboy
Unless you've already reached that number yourself, I hope you reach it too!
Also yeah, HERE HERE!
I love you pbG ghost ride that whip
PeanutButterGamer do another Zelda video
Finally, a TH-camr who understands what the laughing scene means in accordance with the overall story arch! You got yourself a subscriber mate!
Its a fucking joke. If excuses make you sleep better at night you are in denial.
@Number Juan 100% agree.
@@tero581 Just because you don't understand the context of a scene, doesn't make it bad.
TERO I understand it’s a joke and all but I’ve literally seen people say this game is bad because of this scene and others say they won’t even bother trying it because of it 😔
Yes, this made me so happy. Yes, the laughing scene was awkward AF, but that was the entire point of it and in the context of the game at thar point it makes perfect sense.
I remember playing it at release together with my sister, she died 8 years ago.
After replaying the PC-port I really grasped for the first time what a grim dark setting the colorful world of Spira really is.
Man I’m sorry you lost your sister :( some of us have memories watching friends or family play it and some just played alone.
May your sister rest peacefully forever ♾️ & may her memory & spirit forever be a part of you! Another reason why this game is timeless and priceless!
Thanks guys!
congratulations on 1 million jirard, this is one heck of a project but at this point I'm not surprised!
Indeimaus I watch your vids sometimes too so seeing this comment was kind of cool for me
Why and how do I see u in every comment section
Indeimaus completion-souls?
It is the man above anger!
Love to watch his episodes. It's a really great project!!! :3
You just spend 8 minutes thanking everyone. The least I can do is take 1 to thank you. You have been an inspiration to me for years now, even helping me to face my fears, uncertainties and anxieties to start creating my own content. The videos you make every week have changed my life and changed me for the better. For that alone I will keep watching every episode you make. For that alone I want to thank you.
Ok, now I kind of love the laugh scene because immediately after, Titus and Yuna laugh at it (for real this time) because they realize how ridiculous they both sounded. That DOES feel real, doesn't it? :)
Two fun facts
Wakka and Kimahri and a few other characters are voiced by Bender’s voice actor; John DiMaggi
And I only found out you could switch the Aeon intro sequences to short mode via the menu, 3/4th into the game.
Spongebob is rin
Thank you for this. I'll switch it up ASAP.
You can WHAT?
Yeah that's a no brainer. Gotta switch to short intro
oh the pain
Happy 1 million! FFX and the Completionist!
"these battles require intense knowledge"
SPAMS QUICK HIT
“Penance is the hardest boss in the game”. Me: call out yojimbo for an easy 1HKO
The amount of work required to get that to be the most efficient attack is immense...
Well good thing Quick hit was nerfed in the HD Remastered
@@SovietzRussia That's cheap and almost cheating in my opinion. Any enemy is the easiest ever, if you pay Yojimbo enough Gil. The fact, that Penance is the hardest boss in the game is still true.
ABIT, you either have not played to that point or you're joking. In case you actually haven't played to that point, yet let me explain: You need to spam Quick Hit here to get enough turns to kill Penance's arms fast enough, so neither of them get a single turn. If they do get a single turn, they will inflict a status effect on you, that reduces your defence. If Penance then gets a turn, he will use Obliteration, which (due to the defence reduction) will kill you. He can also use another ability, when his arms are still alive by then. This ability WILL kill you.
The Soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard. Every Song is so memorable and makes this game what it is😊
The greatest thing about Final Fantasy X is that you can switch party members mid-battle. I feel that if Final Fantasy ever went back to turn based, they should make the battle system like X.
naah, evolve from X, keep the things like mid-battle switching and equipping but don't make it the same, that would be pointless, and if they go for a class/job swapping system they should evolve from X-2 (which yes sucked, but the gameplay itself was awesome, but music, story minigames suuuuuuucked)
Sadly I don’t think they ever will go back to turn based combat. I feel like they’ll all be a lot like 15 from now on which isn’t necessarily a bad thing I like the way they did combat in 15 but it needs some serious improvements
The one exception is in water fights. You can only use Riku, Tidus, and Wakka because the developers didn’t bother giving the other characters swimming animations
@@C24U_ Well... That and Tidas, Rikku, and Wakka are agile swimmers who practically live in the water, thus them being able to competently fight while swimming makes sense. Plus Yuna, Lulu, and Auron are wearing dresses and a robe(While only using one arm...) and just wouldn't seem like they fight well. Especially with Lulu using a doll and Yuna being a summoner...
Finally someone who thinks like me
13:08 THANK YOU! I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS! It is an awkward scene... BECAUSE IT IS MEANT TO BE AWKWARD! And also, the scene lasts maybe 30 seconds. People who point to that as a reason why the game is bad are really grasping at straws. If 30 seconds of a game can determine if it is good or bad, I guess I should know if I'm going to like a game as soon as I turn it on, right? If I don't like the logo of the companies that took part in making a game, the game must be trash, right? ... sorry, that particular topic has been a bit of a sore point for me simply due to how much it gets sited as a reason to diss the rest of the game. If you don't like a game, you don't like it. No need to grasp at straws trying to make people who do like it look bad.
Absolutly agree with you. Whenever I see someone bringing the laughing up I allways wonder "have you actually played the game? Have you actually seen the scene and the context behind it? Or do you just lake the simple understanding of the situation?". Why are people bashing this scene so much, doesn't make any sense...
I agree, there are better reasons for why FF 10 is a bad story
Damn right. It's amazing how people miss judged game when taking that scene out on context. After all context is important and that scene is one case that really proves that. Then again I shouldn't be surprised since people tend to be stupid and want to reinforce they own beliefs.
I still don't get why the "Romance Scene" dissolves into a weird flying/swimming montage with Pyreflies, though. They used actual bloody cgi for that, too.
People whos cite that scene probably never played the game and just watched a TH-cam video of it.
I’ve put 65 hours into this game so far, I’m playing for the first time. I’m at Seymour’s 4th form. I’ve been doing some mini games. I love this game. It’s so fun and I’m in love with Yuna ❤️ She’s so sweet and pretty.
After starting to replay this game years after being a preteen; I honestly don’t know how I dodged lightning 100 times in a row.
In the dark sound off go by the flashes how I did it at 14 still works today ahhh the memories of hitting 199 to fail the last one 🤣
"160 hours of total playtime" Nope. Not doing it. Just nope.
The only one stopping me from platinum
CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION!!!
You deserved it.👍👍
Dammit Jirard was not expecting that train of feelings at the end. Here’s to more completionist and fun adventures in the future.
"But i suppose the laughing scene is still good for a laugh" *plays laughing scene*
Me: Starts tearing up
Jirard: "Let's complete Final Fantasy X!"
everyone else in the studio: *groans of increasing discomfort*
"What are we doing?"
“I just got out of depression”
Final Fantasy X gon give it to ya
What a brave man.
What f*** wait for you to get it on your own FFX gon deliver to ya knock knock open up the doo-I should stop.
goddamnit Chara
@General Cranberry Justin y. is cancer. I'm glad he's being forgotten.
Honestly, I've seen chara more than I've seen Justin Y. I'm not complaining, I just think it's cool someone has almost the same interests as me
12:44 Thanks for talking about this scene, Jirard. It always bums me out when people make assumptions about "how awful this game's voice acting is." Watching the scene in context makes a huge difference. And it's one of my favorite scenes in the game! There are so many powerful moments that have their seeds planted during THIS SCENE, and blossom into some real heavy plot points later on in the story.
"If we should get separated... Just whistle. I'll come running. I promise."
Thanks for completing this one, Jirard, and congrats on 1 MILLION SUBS!
THANK YOU! Seriously, seeing a few more comments about this has really made my day. Also, you are the first to point out the bigger moment in that same cutscene (that I have seen in this video's comment section that is). The laugh was just a snippet. That never gets mentioned again outside of that scene, and even then the most that anyone does is make a snarky comment about how weird it was and then move on. The whistle though... that is the most important part of that whole scene.
Exactly! It leaves me grinding my teeth when I hear people genuinely take issue with the voice acting based on that scene which is likewise taken out of context.
On top of it all. I always felt there's a point to be made that while Tidus is trying to make light of the situation. Yuna isn't aware that, Tidus at the time is unaware of her fate at the end of the journey. It's rather dark. He thinks he's trying to lighten up what's just a long journey, and instead is helping her through accepting her own death. Kinda making it more awkward considering the idea of it all being a death march
It was makes me question those people that do that cuz its like so you never did something stupid or said something stupid or funny for that matter to make a sad friend smile or laugh, to ease the tension? That whistle scene right after solidified they got eachothers back they only need to reach out with a whistle.
The scene is still dumb
imagine deciding to never play a jrpg because someone laughed in a weird way in one once
exactly like cmon there's so much more to the game than just that one scene
i will forever defend this scene, in the context of the game and what the characters are going through it makes sense.
@@chupetaparamahboy that’s what people don’t get, Tidus was laughing that way to cheer up Yuna.
Literally 💀it was bad on purpose too he was literally doing a fake laugh to make yuna laugh 😭
To be fair: the laugh was REALLY weird
"One of the only few missables in the game". I felt this in my heart... I got to the end of FF and had to start a new save, because I missed 1 Al Bed book in the part of "home" as it's being destroyed. You know, the place where if you even WALK through a door, you cannot go back... And it's a good amount into the game as well...
Short Bolts thank the lord for walkthroughs
The only way you could've reached 1M is by consistently providing high quality entertainment you deserve all of it you and your crew👍
Ps: persona 5 completion pls!!!!!!
Dude i was thinking the same thing!!
That should be episode 300!
P5 isn't as anywhere near bad as FFX for completing, so I'm sure he could pull it off next time he's in the mood for a JRPG.
@@callowguru2611 wrong but he did this week
I don't comment on videos hardly ever.... But after sticking around through the shout-outs I wanted to say something. You did your mom good. She wanted you to be famous and you certainly reached that goal. You did good man, and I hope to see you keep rising in fame.
This. I honestly almost cried at that moment.
She dead
@@NelCelestine i DID cry at that moment >_
because people saw the scene isolated, out of context , in some comedian youtuber´s negative roast of the game 15 years after the game released. Then suddenly they are geniuses entitled to hate the game blindly
That killed me man
My heart goes out to you and your mission, I love the energy and positivity of these videos. Thu truly have had an affect on me!
Great video to celebrate 1 mill subs. I love this game and grew up with it as well. It's got a very special emotional impact on me everytime I see gameplay of it.
Very glad glad to see this being marked as a milestone.
Why I love ThatOneVideoGamer and Jirard.
1. They love their community. I have never heard one bad story of this crew, let alone the bearded man himself. I am happy to be part of it, and I cant wait for more.
2. Their videos are extremely high quality, with a good mix of seriousness and funny moments.I have never seen one screw up, that the team hasn't admitted to and fix in the next video.
3. I honestly love Jirard and his personality. Hes charismatic, charming, and inspired me to keep my beard un-shaved. Hes a person I aspire to be like.
4. I admire the dedication to his and the teams craft, after having to remove his first 120 episodes (which I wont mention why here) they are re doing them to give them the make over they deserve, and to make sure no episode goes un-remembered. They love their history, and they are not giving it up anytime soon.
and 5. They love their fans and we love them.
Keep it up team, even if others may turn, I still love you all and Jirard and im so happy you making this content, and im proud of you all. I hope yo see more from you soon, and maybe be able to work with you some day!
My response to 3: OG Completionist 1.
Just kidding! I really do love his personality.
And no. 6 : he's not a trend following douchebag.
Reading your post was like reading my thoughts!
Jirard warms my soul. He also stirs my loins.
OH SHIT A SPOONY CALL OUT!!! I miss that man :c
You should check out the Down the Rabbit Hole episode on him. The boy's a monster.
greenhowie lol he's not a monster, he's just lazy and has some issues
As a diehard fan, it was tough because it was such a long, hard and thorough death. While I wasn't on Patreon, I stuck around to the very end, the last Reb Brown month. The bipolar issues, channel awesome departure drama, his control freak issues in response to his fans (toxic or otherwise), that's all secondary for me. What it all came down to is he just stopped making videos and shifted to mediocre streams. And then for months on end he'd stop doing everything. He had a unique voice, but he just stopped. The #1 source of his issues is he gave up. And I feel for the guy, because giving up on doing something you're great at is a tragedy. Edit: And congrats to Jirard on the 1 million. Good on him for pushing through problems and persisting.
He's a fucking scum bag.
I enjoyed his videos.... until he rage quit FFXIV ARR after playing it for 20 minutes. I didn't know about how much he was dealing with until the Down the Rabbit Hole video.
Dude, i love the fact y ou covered in such great detail one of my all time favorite games. You guys are AWESOME!! keep it up
I know this is a slightly older video, but I just found your channel about a month ago. I love the work you do, and every other day or so I watch a few of your videos to help unwind after work. They're a hell of a lot of fun. But this video touched me with your extensive acknowledgements and thank yous at the end. It's one of the coolest, most heart-felt and genuine things I've seen in a medium where everyone is playing up a personality to cultivate likes and subscribers. Your channel is awesome. You do beastly, insane work that would drive most people mad, and you do it for our entertainment. Thanks for everything. Congrats on hitting such a tremendous milestone. You definitely deserve it, and I wish you a ton of continued success in the future.
I can't comprehend that people don't understand the laughing scene. I understood it when I was a kid and it hits me even more as an adult. As he said, it's not perfect, but it's not hard to understand.
Most of the people complaining on that scene has probably not even played the game.
Great video man.
Dude, there is nothing to understand. Don't be pretentious. But it is simply dumb scene, so people joke about it. It is sort of proto-meme.
i used to not "get it" when it was presented to me out of context, then i played the game and i got it
@@YARGGG_GG That can be applied to everything out of context.
@@TheRezro How is it a dumb scene? To me, it was a really emotional moment. I felt with Tidus, the previous scene had me just as confused and sad as he was. The laughing scene turns the current mood of the story. They're both feeling down, and they probably just wanna wallow in their misery, yet they force themselves to laugh, and it slips into something genuine. Of course the forced laughter is going to sound stupid, have you ever tried literally laughing out loud while depressed?
They haven´t played it, people saw the scene isolated, out of context , in some comedian youtuber´s negative roast of the game 15 years after the game released. Then suddenly they are geniuses entitled to hate the game blindly and always repeat the meme asociated with the game. Same shit happened with FF8, roasting the game became popular years and years after the game actually came out , but at the time period when it was released it received great critical reviews and was beloved by the gaming community.
There is something different and unique about FFX's art style I could never put my finger on until someone pointed out it was based on Pacific Islander culture. Not very many games do this.
Im so in love with this game.
The bestiary, the universe's esthetics, the melancolia, the soundtrack. And those Aeons, damn they are just sooo badass.
Thanx for the review and big respect for the colossal work behind it.
Caught a stream the other day, finally coming back through your older videos now.
The level of humility and respect for your team and your work is honestly breathtaking.
Such wholesome content to watch
A completion of FFX...I can only imagine how many dozens, if not hundreds, of hours this took.
There must had been days where he couldn't sleep.
I think my final completion file was about 170 hours.
@@lastlegend9657 wow
@@lastlegend9657 Mine was about 250, but that was because blitzball sucked me in.
He says at the end that it took 160 hours.
Still less than Breath of the Wild.
The last Final Fantasy game that had an element of SquareSoft within it
Big agreement. XII is where it runs out for me, X was the last shiny piece of imagination
I think XIV has some of that charm, still. Yeah Enix comes in and kills it a little, but Yoshi P really saved it, and I feel his heart is in the right place.
This was the first squenix right?
FF 9 and FF10 are the Best.
I don't know why there is a lot of hate on ff 12. In my opinion, it stands on the same level as ff 10. While 10 brings with it a constantly briliant story with addictive gameplay for it's time, 12 brings with it a different sort of story that has its own charms. The combat might be a lot more mixed than the previous titles, but the combination of story with the theme and fantastic voice acting give it something that you can't really see anywhere else.
One trophy, just one trophy away from the Platinum, and it's to complete the grib for Everyone, I've held off on its for 3 years now.
A year+ later, and this video made me so thankful to have been around since the beginning, thru the first few yrs of the completionist, the re-do of the channel, ups and downs of that time... Im glad that you survived it all, and that you are one of the most grateful youtubers around. Much Love Jirard (hope i got that right) cya for yrs to come!

Just 160 hours? That's a good time. I had 100 hours from just playing the blitz game til full level on tidus and more.
BTW: I also thought it was ''Tai-dus'' and not Ti-dus''.
you can just score once and sit behind your own goal after that when you get the ball and win
It makes sense because he washed up.... in the tide.
In a commercial back in like 2001 it was pronounced "Teedus" so that's what everyone calls him, despite the fact that "Tiedus" makes more sense.
It's "Tide-us" and you can't convince me otherwise
@@davidgn40
"Teedus" makes more sense becuase the original name is Tida, which comes from the word Tiida, which means sun.
Had to rewatch this video because it gives me motivation while I attempt to complete FFX for the first time. My patience is truly being tested. Love your videos Jirard!
Still touching to hear the thank you’s at the end, years and another half a million subscribers later. Happy to see your hard work continue to pay off!
FFX is a great game that should be played. Still one of my favorite combat systems in an RPG. Excellent choice to cover on this special entry of the series!
Absolutely magnificent. Thank you, to the whole TOVG crew, for everything you guys and gals do. I promise you've inspired a countless number of your viewers over the years, myself included, and for that I personally can't thank you enough. Keep up the fantastic work (but don't forget to take some breaks!), and here's to many millions more!
LOL at calling Tidus Meg Ryan
You mean it's NOT Meg Ryan?! O_o
He looks like a young Mélanie Griffith to me XD
This was a joke from The Spoony Experiment's review of FFX. Good to see a call out.
Watched the entire video, appreciate you making this. One of the greatest and likely will remain as one of the greatest JRPG's in human history.
One of my favorite episodes for one of my favorite games. Thank you for everything Jirard. May just seem like gaming entertainment but this episode is sheer inspiration to keep doing, and appreciating.
I recently replayed FFX [actually just finished FFX-2 yesterday] and I applaud you for completing it.
I did the Chocobo quests [which surprisingly only took me about 30 minutes to finish] but there was no way I was going to fully go after all of Monster Arena battles, Blitzball, or the Sphere Grid haha.
My personal White Whale is the lightning dodging Minigame. And by White Whale, I mean I take one look at it, take a look at my captain, and promptly make a run for the life boats.
there is an easy trick to it though.. you just need the patience for 200 strikes..
I remember being super nervous that I miscounted and was at like 199 instead of passed 200 when I was done with it XD
I 100% cheated on the lightning mini-game when I did it a couple months ago. I felt kinda bad but 160 broke me too many times
@@Starcat5 😂 Yeah when I saw what that quest entailed I quickly said *NOPE!*
@Brian Noland I know I did a bit of Blitzball to get some item but not all of it. The game is actually decent once you get the hang of it. However I much preferred the card games in FF8 and FF9 over this as the main mini-game.
FFX is my favorite in the series, so excited for this!!! Congrats on 1mil, well-deserved
its my fave too. the first i played. dont like 8.
Am I the only one here who thinks ffxv is the best
@@Welcometotheslam5424 Everyone has a favorite. Love what you love and don't let anyone tell you that you shouldn't or can't. :)
I have never touched a FF game but I remember this game from the PS2 games when I was a kid. The box art stuck with me for some 15 years--it was always a game I wanted to play or buy at the store (knew nothing about it) but never did. Just the box art had some melancholy, grandiose feel to it that drew my 7-9 year old self in. Maybe I'll pick up the remaster and see what I missed out on!
Play 12 instead. 10 wasn’t a good game. It’s an interactive movie with the occasional gameplay. 12 was actually a game that also had a far better cinematic presentation to go with it.
10 is a great game. It's a little slow but if you get immersed, it'll take you on a ride. Enjoy your time in FFX!
@@Gamingnstuff131 lol. what are you on? X is one of the best FF´s period. talking about "occasional gamplay"..12 literally plays itsel XDXD
I like the laughing scene, I think it really captures Yunas emotions and also, Tidus is on point to. This scene is just after when Tidus learns the real reasons behind the pilgrimage. Which sets up the sadness in this scene.. he is just starting to like Yuna and doesn’t understand the gravity of the pilgrimage in full at this point of the story.
For me the "laughing scene" is on par with "Aerith's death". You can never forget it.
For me the moment when Tidus knew he wasn't going to remain even if they won
Yet still desperately did his best till the end was my "Aerith's Death" of this game
Wait...Aerith dies?!?
Final Fantasy X is such an amazing JRPG. It's not the first I ever played but looking back, it really felt like it was. It had such a big impact on me. The story, the character and the gameplay are just all 10/10. Some might complain that it's too linear but as displayed here in this video, that's just not true. There is A LOT to do. FFX will always be one of the best JRPGs I ever played and maybe one day I'll be able to complete more of it too! In the meantime I've been doing a hilarious let's play series of FFX! It's been so much fun reliving the game! If anyone wants to come check it out that would be awesome! :)
What I appreciate about you is that you take the time talk about the nuances of a game. You dont spare any detail and give a full rich experience your journey through these games. FFX is one of my favorite games of all time and I feel you did it justice better than other person I've seen so far. Your channel is a joy to watch and with that Thank you!
Ps. officially subscribed today!
Great review of the game. The emotions this game brings back 😭😭😭❤️
I am a simple gal.
I hear "To Zanarkand," I -crie evry tiem- feel my heart swell with nostalgia.
The funniest part is that I've never actually played this game. I watched my brother play through this one, then watched my sister play through X-2.
(Amusingly enough, I was the one who learned how to speak Al Bhed. So every time they started a new playthrough, I was always the one who translated for them while they collected the... Primers, was it? I don't remember which letter is which anymore, though.)
It's by far my favorite piece of video game music and maybe even music in general just because of all the feelings and nostalgia it brings up every time I hear it.
You gotta play it already!
You... you could speak Al Bhed? That kinda blows my mind. Cilr tatelydeuh! E ys esbnaccat!
Anyway, you really should play through the X/X-2 Remaster for yourself at some point, if you have access to it. Whether for the nostalgia factor or just to finally experience it for yourself.
@@Harkz0r Huh. I was sure I had forgotten how to speak it, but I actually remembered enough of it to decipher what you said. Memory muscles, man. They're wild. 😂
Anyway, yeah! My sister owns the HD remakes so I intend to play X and X-2 for myself at some point. Not sure if I'll go for the true ending when I play the sequel; the requirements for it looked exhausting.
LagrimaArdiente My wife walked down the aisle to this music. #bestweddingever
Ok, two things.
1)Congrats, Jirard!
2)Please complete Octopath Traveler.
Agreed
I'd love to here him lose his shit on the post game stuff, yes please!
That would be cool! But I would have to play the game myself first, I loved the Demo.
first time i have watched a video from this channel. i enjoyed this a lot. not just the content but the attitude and the thanks you gave out at the end. thank you for a very positive experience
Just finished this game for the first time today. Loved most of it. You are a true warrior for completing this! This was only my 2nd FF game but I’m sure it won’t be my last. Just seeing Penance’s stats was enough for me to have had my fill with the main story. Appreciate your work and I have been loving FPS podcast so far!
You're a madman and you deserve every click.
I misread that as dick at first xD
Small tip: If you want to finish the final faze of the final boss with ease, remember that Sin's core (name being held back due to spoilers) is susceptible to the Zombie status. Apply the the status, toss a Phoenix Down, sit back and roll the credits. Sure, it is a Gimmie fight due to being unable to die, but what it made you do to your own Aeons, cheesing it's final form is cathartic.
Oh god thank you so much. This makes me so happy to know I don't need to [depressing spoilers]. I haven't finished the game since the first time because it genuinely hurt too much having to do that.
@@Clawdragoons Don't thank me. I just did some deep dives into TH-cam to double check my facts. And I mean DEEP dives. I couldn't find the original video I learned it from, but I was able to confirm that it still works in the HD port. However, said trick doesn't come into play until AFTER the Boss Gauntlet. -_(\ I am so sorry for getting your hopes up. Clearly my memory isn't what it used to be.
I'm glad how you mentioned that the laughing scene was meant to be awkward. It always bugs me when people point to that scene and criticize it when they don't even know the context of why they're laughing that way.
@@betweenthe8 I don’t think it was meant to make you feel comfortable tbf
@@betweenthe8 "That scene was meant to be cringe"
"It is still cringe tho"
?????????
Yo that scene was meant to be awkward.
Yo I find that scene awkward .
You just don’t understand the scene!!!
??!!!!
You people are morons
I love this game more than my words can say but you did a great job going over the best aspects of my favorite game ever. The story in this game is just too good. Also love how you showed your bros as characters from the game like you have your own ragtag final fantasy party haha. Great video man, your channel looks dope and I'm glad youtube showed me this video!
One of my favorites games ever and one of the most satisfying to complete, I want to go back and do it all again after watching this.
Also the sphere grid is one of the best leveling systems in any game every.
Dude. The feels.
Massive congrats to you and the team, Jirard. You are such a great dude, and I'm so happy to know you. I've enjoyed your content for a long time. You are a true inspiration. Here's to you and the entire team for continued success!
Feel my asscheeks
Regrettably this is one of the few videos I've seen from you and it hit me right in the feels. Grats bro!
First episode I ever watched of yours. And its of my favorite Final Fantasy ever. Beautiful work dude. Keep it up
"Listen To My Story......this may be our last chance"
This and "I got a letter" intro from silent hill 2 are forever stuck in my head
I'm not crying, it just water...
Jirard, you have been such a positive role model for so many of us. Keep up the amazing work. Much love to you and all of your team, family, friends...everyone.
This is my first completionist video and I'm hooked! Off to binge now.
Never seen any of your videos but I’m subbing after watching this, quality work mate
As a FF X fanatic (completed it fully no less than 4 times now) you addressed everything that I was hoping you would while climbing the ladder of this completing this game. I really appreciated that you brought into context how difficult it is to get the luck/fortune spheres and in that context were able to not even mention the other grueling tasks because of how ridiculous those are. All in all, great video, gratz on 1 million, thank you for telling us your story.
I remember the first time I clicked onto your early videos. Just a guy getting into watching TH-cam more than Netflix or even regular TV. Video game reviews are plentiful, but this particular video game review is a dime a dozen. Watching this channel grow to what it is today is very heart warming. From time to time, I would go into the comment section and ask why hasn't this channel reached a million subscribers yet. That day has finally come and I couldn't be even more proud of That One Video Gamer. Keep doing what you guys are doing. Thanks for all of the memories and I cannot wait for even more videos to come
This made me so happy! FFX is my all time favorite game and I subscribed because I enjoyed your work so much. Incredible job!
One of my most vivid early memories is watching my older brother play this game for the first time and being totally blown away by how real it looked and how huge it was. I spent countless hours watching him play and even as a 4 year old who didn't know what was going on in the story or anything, I loved spending time with my brother and just looking at the amazing characters and locations and its all stuck with me since
I don't comment too often but I feel as if you've always been genuine and an upstanding creator. Thank you and congrats on 1mill!
*Listen to my slam, this may be our last jam*
SO COME ON AND SLAM
DragonSpikeXIII Welcome to the Space Jam

I only came across these videos as part of research for a project of mine, but man... I have to say that this series is visibly heartfelt and sincere, even beyond the topic of gaming. Although I am not a gamer myself, you have a loyal fan. Keep it up.
Great video!!! Grats on 1 mil and here is to 2 mil subscribers!!!
I'm super proud of everything you've accomplished Jirard! You have a great team around you, cool office building, tons of great friends supporting you, loyal viewers, and entertaining/insightful content. Can't wait to see where you go from here, this is still just the beginning if you long at the long term! I admire your dedication and hard work as do many others. Here's to 2 million!! :D
Is he ever as loud as your streamer neighbor?

One year later and he's away 1.35 mil!

😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kind of a no-brainer, really.
FFX is my absolutely favourite game and I've been working on a completionist run since early 2017. I'm currently on 117 hours and dear god, is it a hell thing to chew through. But it's such a well constructed game and ahhhh no regrets.
Can't say I'm fond of Chocobo Racing now, dear lord, did that take me forever.
Almost teared up at the end, think you deserve all the success, genuinely good person. Subscribed to ya geeza 👍
Congratulations on 1 million subs man. It's been a long awesome journey, and I'm super proud to have been around and helped with some dumb multiplayer achievements. The road to 2 million starts here
The Hymn of Fayth is my 2nd favorite ost, only behind The Temple of Time theme.
As my favorite game of all time im so happy you did this for your 1m. Congrats even though im late to the party and new sub. Can wait to backtrack your videos. Great channel.
The music here has me remembering my first play through of this game. Best Final Fantasy ever.
Hearing "to zanarkand" again reminded me of home, I have been in the military for just over half a year now, and I sometimes feel like I don't quite belong, but whenever I feel doubtful of myself, at the end of the work day I sit down and watch the completionist, game theory, caddicarus, and many others, since you felt it right to take almost ten minutes to thank all your veiwers, i feel it right to thank you for being a source of comfort when I am doubting myself, so thank you jirard, for the reminder of home, especially since this is my first thanksgiving away from my family, and for all the videos over the years that help me feel like more certain of my decision, whether I'm the only one who feels this way or all 1 million of us do, I wanted to say thank you.
Positive thoughts be with you soldier
I played FFX in AIT, so it while it has nothing to do with my military experience, it also has everything to do with my memories of joining the military. God speed, troop!
Luke Ashpaugh thanks for your service, brother
Luke Ashpaugh Thank You for Your Service!!!
Thank you for your service. Hope you get home soon!
Huge congratulations on 1 million subscribers, extremely impressive. FFX was my first FF game and is still one of my favorites. Perhaps the best game I've ever played in terms of: playing, lore, and character interactions. Kind of a shame that the story got a bit screwed up at the end
Wish I could hug you, FFX is my all time favorite final fantasy game. excellent sound score! It was my first FF game I played and owned. This game is very difficult to complete, especially the monster hunting, the celestrial weapons and OMG! THE SPHERE GRID! Great job guys!
I'm glad I'm not the only one ! This was my first final fantasy game and loved it! It's got a special place in my heart not gonna lie
Felt I needed to toss up a thank you for that. Finally someone on youtube who gets this game and some of it's akward scenes. This game holds a very special place in my heart, and the fact so few online seem to understand the laughing scene often hurts abit. Thank you for explaining it to others who may have thought little of the game. Also, my opinions on some games may not match your's, but your dedication is certainly worth praise. Thank you for the hard work you put in, and here's to hoping you can keep it up.
Thank you for presenting the ”laughing scene” in the proper light. I didn't for the longest time understand why people found it ”cringy” but it's safe to assume people just have never played the game.
Denver Walker out of context its funny and bad its awkward on purpose
Rawr Dino That’s my point...
It's still really cringy
I've beaten the game multiple times and completely understand the point behind the scene. I still find it cringe-worthy and awkward to watch. You don't have to misunderstand something to dislike it. I have full context and still mute this scene whenever I play the game. It's cringy. Same with the lake makeout scene.
Crawling Khaos I think it’s meant to be cringey. You’re watching someone force themselves to laugh, especially when you know their trying to relieve themselves of emotional pain and stress.
Meg Ryan, Love that Spoony nod there mate
This was a huge undertaking. Great work everyone! We'll always remember the legend of Meg Ryan!
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! i dont know also why people did not understand the context of that laugh. Well actually i didnt understand it either. But during my 2nd playthrough, when i finally knew what's really on yuna's mind, the laugh broke me.
