alright in this game theres a affection system if tidus heals a character or guards a character it increases affection also some events in the story also increase affection. The one who has the most affection with tidus gets to ride with him... you can see who has the most affection if you do Tidus's blitz ace cause the one who likes him the most will throw the blitzball
To everyone wondering! Lulu is the easiest to get in this scene because of her coincidentally placements during "Friendship times" as I call them. Whenever the group is standing around waiting for something, the person you talk to first will gain more affection towards you. During battle, if Tidus stands next to someone, affection grows. If tidus heals them a lot during battle, affection grows. If tidus damages, kills or neglects to cure or even talk to a character, affection may go down
little thing for everyone watching this video: there's an invisible friendship variable, which decides some things during cutscenes such as this. increase it by talking, world mode and by healing and reviving in battles. decrease by hurting and killing in battles. all from Tidus to the specific person.
@swordtaker1 Not quite. There's an affection value for each character, similar to FFVII. It determines a few things in-game (which girl throws Tidus' ball during Blitz Ace, who you ride with in this scene, whether Rikku or Lulu talk to you at Guadosalam, who talks to Tidus before the party jumps onto Sin, etc.). You can increase it by using healing items on the character (hence why they look at Tidus when they are healed).
Rikku is the most awesome character in every game... I wish we could all pick a character and that real life was like final fantasy... I love that game so much...
Since there is no reply button, In response to nuniruro1515, He did not crush Rikkus heart lol, when She went up to him and he did not say anything, In my opinion, she approached him hoping he would say he got Yuna to quit her pilgrimage, but he just kinda looked down like no :/ and walked by, and that is why she looked all let down
@Dr4gonshade Well, I'm not sure, but I think it's over the course of the game, you talk to your selected person more often, use potions on them in battle, etc.
It's possible. Strategy guides aren't always right; the one I have fore Kingdom Hearts 3D stated that the Dream Eater Flowbermeow was weak to both Dark and Light attacks when it's actually weak to Dark attacks and resistant to Light. In anyway I would suggest that you check out Rikku's scene there. It's both funny and very cute.
for everyone that doesnt know, you can get this scene and the one in guadosalam with rikku on purpose its not luck. It depends on who you treat the best (excluding yuna), by that i mean who you give the most potions for or stuff like that. Most people get lulu because she has horrible HP and defence, so they give her loads of potions. So just give alot of potions to rikku (in battle), or anyone else you want to get the scene with
I always got Lulu too until eventually one save file I got Rikku for this scene and for the Blitz Ace Overdrive. The Affection System also determines whether you'll hit on either Rikku or Lulu during a scene at Guadosalam when Yuna is in Seymour's house.
It's part of the "Affection System". Kind of like the romantic points system in FFVII, the game keeps track of certain dialogue choices, and how often you heal a party member as Tidus. There are four cutscenes for this part available: Auron, Lulu, Kihmari and Rikku. There's also a second occurrence of this system later in the game. Except that time, there's a unique cutscene for every single party member. Again, it depends on what you say, and how often you toss potions at them.
@gk316 it's because of how much you interact with the character, if you pay more attention to Rikku she'll ride with you, or if you talk more with Auron he'll ride with you and that way with each character.
There's a few alternate scenes based on "affection levels". "affection levels" are affected by a) which character you talk to first each time they're all standing aound b) if Tidus heals a character that boosts the affection level a bit (for example, he throws a potion at Rikku) So to get Rikku, you gotta always talk to Yuna, Wakka, or another character before Lulu, then once Rikku shows up have Tidus heal her in battle and talk to her whenever possible. You can also get Auron or Kimahri.
@holycowrap It's one of those hidden relationship value things; who Tidus ends up riding with depends on which of the girls you've spent the most time with and made your highest priority, both in and out of battle.
I was going with Yuna until the Guadosalam conversation, began taking the Lulu route afterwards. I'm thinking about Rikku too, though. I'm stuck between Lulu and Rikku. Lulu's got a lot of important information about Wakka and Chappu when you ride with her, though Rikku's seems to be more important story-wise.
@SorasBF The reason for that is because you used Lulu in battle more than you did with Rikku, it also happens when you use Tidus's last overdrive, the person you use most will throw the blitzball at you
Depending with the relationships with the other characters, Tidus will ride with the character that has the best relationship with him. This also effects another part of the game as well.
@missyoober and everyone else that doesn't know, your relationship with the characters determines who you ride with. in other words, if you beat the shit out of everybody except, say, rikku, during battles, always talk to her first and heal her a lot as tidus, you will almost defo get rikku for this cutscene. sub in anyone except wakka or yuna to this method (cos theyre not there) to change it. also, you can change talking to lulu or rikku in guadosalam, n who throws tidus a ball in an overdrive
pretty much depends how you treat them in the game. for example, if tidus heals rikku in battle and you talk to rikku first when you can speak to everyone, you raise your rapport with her.. it's self-explanatory. there are already guides on the net. google is your friend
The other part is something really, really small. When you have to go fight the Sinspawn on Sin, the first person to jump off will the be the person that Tidus has the best relationship with. No matter what, even if Wakka is the first to jump off, he is the last to land xD
@cmd1095 Easy. In order to ride with Rikku, Auron, Lulu, or Kimahri you have to increase their affection values. Basically just have Tidus throw a bunch of potions onto a character during a battle. It's a good idea to cast Slow on the enemy (make sure only one is left) and the party member whose affection you're trying to increase, and haste on Tidus. Keep in mind that affection is easier to raise for Yuna, Rikku, and Lulu, so you have to spend extra time on the guys. Gamefaqs has more info.
@WeaponXSigma you have to make sure you talk to Rikku more than Lulu from the time that Rikku joins the party. It doesn't have to be first, it just has to be more. Even if you keep clicking her getting the same comment out of her, just do it a handful of times and try not to talk to Lulu. Also, it helps if you flirt with her in Macalania (and don't flirt with Lulu, obviously :P) doing that should land you this scene.
ZanarkandRose Rikku is a friend to Tidus. The entire plot of FFX focuses solely around a romance between Tidus and Yuna. Even into FFX-2, Yuna's love for Tidus, as well as discovering a sphere of Shuyin, is what sent her on her journey of sphere hunting. She left her home without saying a word to anyone, not even Lulu and Wakka, just on the off CHANCE she'd find mire spheres of "Tidus." You may not like it, and that's fine if you don't. One thing you can not refute, however, is that Yuna and Tidus are in love with one another, and the entire plot of both games serves only to establish, and bolster that simple truth. They are simply meant to be.
Andi Herrmann Tidus had a moment where he had to pick between Rikku and Yuna. It was a dream but he wondered about it, when they both say "you said you'd take ME to Zanarkand"
Rikku and Tidus...ahah. I don't think they'd be a great couple...but they really look like brother and sister. I think that's what they were going for with the two of them. Tidus is like an older brother to Rikku. He looks out for her and cheers her up when she's down.
Ah, ok then. I didn't know about that. I thought that you were SUPPOSED to be able to hit on any of them in Guadosalam- the strategy guide even says so, but I never got it, which was kinda sad because I like Rikku a lot. So, I wondered if the strategy guide was wrong- the brand I got sometimes gets things wrong. Thanks for the info- I intend on getting the HD collection when it comes out. I'm gonna give X-2 another try to see if it's really as bad as I used to think it was.
It depends on how affectionate you are to Yuna. The lowest affection gets you a ride with Kimahri. The highest gets you a ride with Lulu. I believe Rikku is 2nd highest.
to get other people to ride, before this scene you basically always have to talk to that person first in every scene, and give potions to when they're low on hp. If you don't want to ride with lulu, kill her with tidus.
Ok seriously? Tidus cannot be that dense. The first time I played this, I admit that Yuna being on the road to die was a suprise to me at the same time it was to Tidus. BUT I didn't get this scene at this time either. Poor Tidus is just in denial after this scene.
Oh, but he is. You see, in Japan, it's not as big of a taboo for second or even first cousins to hook up. As weird as it seems to our Western Eyes, they are first cousins. Brother is in love with her. At least they didn't grow up together. Now THAT would have made it weird.
Huh, I must have had the highest affection with Lulu all of the times I played because she always rode with Tidus. Haha. Rikku: Glomp Time! Even if it was serious she was pretty cute doing that. It probably took a lot for Rikku to not go "OMG WTF are you talking about" when Tidus said "Yuna's not sacrificing herself". I didn't know either so I prolly shouldn't be talking though.
I felt like Rikku's character got much more clingy and whiny, while Yuna's improved. Not to mention that Yuna's VA improved dramatically in between games.
This probably best foreshadowed the "summoners die once they defeat Sin." I wish I got Rikku riding with Tidus the first time I played FFX.
I love Tidus and Yuna as a couple but it's a shame you can't romance Lulu or Rikku. I think Rikku is a better match for Tidus after all.
I don't know about that. They kinda more look like siblings
alright in this game theres a affection system if tidus heals a character or guards a character it increases affection also some events in the story also increase affection. The one who has the most affection with tidus gets to ride with him... you can see who has the most affection if you do Tidus's blitz ace cause the one who likes him the most will throw the blitzball
Yeah I prefer Rikku too. Real shame she doesn't exist.
I love riku so much. She is the most important person in this story in my opinion. Without her so much would have not changed.
Oh, Tidus. How little you know.
This game will never get old its been like almost 12 yeara :0
To everyone wondering! Lulu is the easiest to get in this scene because of her coincidentally placements during "Friendship times" as I call them. Whenever the group is standing around waiting for something, the person you talk to first will gain more affection towards you. During battle, if Tidus stands next to someone, affection grows. If tidus heals them a lot during battle, affection grows. If tidus damages, kills or neglects to cure or even talk to a character, affection may go down
AND THEY STILL NEVER TELL HIM!!!!
He's so super casual about finding out Yuna's related by blood to the Al Bhed.
+Joshua Howell That's because he already knew about the fact she's part Al Bhed.
You're right, i should have said "about finding out they're family".
It's more like tidus doesn't give a fuck about yevon's theocracy in spira.
Yunie
Poor Tidus was so oblivious to what sacrifice really meant. It makes me sad.
Yes. Rikku just gave a friendly hug.
little thing for everyone watching this video: there's an invisible friendship variable, which decides some things during cutscenes such as this.
increase it by talking, world mode and by healing and reviving in battles.
decrease by hurting and killing in battles.
all from Tidus to the specific person.
I love Rikku's voice.
Man this video is old but it's still a very cute scene
this was my favourite ride scene just cause rikkus my favourite character
@swordtaker1 Not quite. There's an affection value for each character, similar to FFVII.

0:10 lol always loved the unnecessary shade tidus throws at khimari
Rikku is the most awesome character in every game... I wish we could all pick a character and that real life was like final fantasy... I love that game so much...

she's so adorable in this game!

I love how Kimahri just flips the thing and rides off at the beginning. lol
I'm thinking of the original from FFX. It's the face shape coupled with the pixielike expressions and the hairstyle. I love it!
I always got Lulu too until eventually one save file I got Rikku for this scene and for the Blitz Ace Overdrive. The Affection System also determines whether you'll hit on either Rikku or Lulu during a scene at Guadosalam when Yuna is in Seymour's house.

12 years Ans still love this game
@gk316 it's because of how much you interact with the character, if you pay more attention to Rikku she'll ride with you, or if you talk more with Auron he'll ride with you and that way with each character.
I also got Lulu. Every time I've played actually. I didn't know you could ride with the others!
Really late response. The Affection System in FFX also dictates which of the ladies throws the blitzball to Tidus during his Overdrive.
There's a few alternate scenes based on "affection levels".
"affection levels" are affected by
a) which character you talk to first each time they're all standing aound
b) if Tidus heals a character that boosts the affection level a bit (for example, he throws a potion at Rikku)
So to get Rikku, you gotta always talk to Yuna, Wakka, or another character before Lulu, then once Rikku shows up have Tidus heal her in battle and talk to her whenever possible.
You can also get Auron or Kimahri.
@xkrnxplaya Yea, that's Terra Strong (I believe). She was also Bubbles in the Powerpuff Girls and Raven in Teen Titans. She has quite a career. ^ ^
@holycowrap It's one of those hidden relationship value things; who Tidus ends up riding with depends on which of the girls you've spent the most time with and made your highest priority, both in and out of battle.

Depending with the relationships with the other characters, Tidus will ride with the character that has the best relationship with him. This also effects another part of the game as well.
i always had Rikku and Tidus on like 6 Playthroughs
i didnt even think it would be possible to have someone else
As soon as Rikku hugged Tidus.They looked like a couple.
If you look at yuna's eyes. One is blue and the other is that of an al behd. The Swirly green.
Rikku:Yunie's not the only 1 we wanna protect...
Tidus:oh?!XD
@missyoober and everyone else that doesn't know, your relationship with the characters determines who you ride with. in other words, if you beat the shit out of everybody except, say, rikku, during battles, always talk to her first and heal her a lot as tidus, you will almost defo get rikku for this cutscene. sub in anyone except wakka or yuna to this method (cos theyre not there) to change it. also, you can change talking to lulu or rikku in guadosalam, n who throws tidus a ball in an overdrive
I remeber no matter how many times I playd ffx I ALWAYS got Rikku!
It all depends on who you're nice to (i.e. who Tidus supports most in battle. Also certain events in the story affet this as well.
She's totally got the same VA as Twilight Sparkle.
AWESOME.
same, i played this part three different times for the past two months, Lulu each time
I never understood how I was able to get this with Rikku. It used to always be with Lu.
pretty much depends how you treat them in the game. for example, if tidus heals rikku in battle and you talk to rikku first when you can speak to everyone, you raise your rapport with her.. it's self-explanatory. there are already guides on the net. google is your friend
The other part is something really, really small. When you have to go fight the Sinspawn on Sin, the first person to jump off will the be the person that Tidus has the best relationship with.
No matter what, even if Wakka is the first to jump off, he is the last to land xD
gosh he's a lucky guy
rikku nearly spills the beans lol
Thumbs up if you made Tidus and Rikku give each other a shit load of potions just to get this scene.
I
yeah especially when yuna's in the weddingdress, you know whith her hair like that, her face looks really like rikku's
@cmd1095 Easy. In order to ride with Rikku, Auron, Lulu, or Kimahri you have to increase their affection values. Basically just have Tidus throw a bunch of potions onto a character during a battle.

Keep in mind that affection is easier to raise for Yuna, Rikku, and Lulu, so you have to spend extra time on the guys. Gamefaqs has more info.
Me neither.I didn't saw the green eye until the part Seymour saw Yuna.
Whenever i hear Tidus's voice i keep seeing rachet from rachet and clank in my head
'who else but quagmire?' giggedy giggedy giggedy
@WeaponXSigma you have to make sure you talk to Rikku more than Lulu from the time that Rikku joins the party. It doesn't have to be first, it just has to be more.

Also, it helps if you flirt with her in Macalania (and don't flirt with Lulu, obviously :P) doing that should land you this scene.
i've gotten rikku and lulu several times haha i've played the game so much, but never knew why it changed
They should've remade the whole game and given you a chance to romanticize any girl you personally want with Tidus. I wanted Rikku with him.
ZanarkandRose
Rikku is a friend to Tidus. The entire plot of FFX focuses solely around a romance between Tidus and Yuna. Even into FFX-2, Yuna's love for Tidus, as well as discovering a sphere of Shuyin, is what sent her on her journey of sphere hunting.

Alright. I always knew that FF7 had that, but it wasn't until a while ago that I found out about it in FFX. I think I always got Lulu, though.
Rikku-chan
@Konota0clone: When you get Kimarhi, you ride alongside him, ditto if you get Auron.
"Eh? Sacrifice themselves?"
"Er... erm... well you know. It's tiring... and stuff."
"Oh right :D"
Tidus is so dense. x.x
Rikku and Tidus...ahah. I don't think they'd be a great couple...but they really look like brother and sister. I think that's what they were going for with the two of them. Tidus is like an older brother to Rikku. He looks out for her and cheers her up when she's down.

Thanks for the info- I intend on getting the HD collection when it comes out. I'm gonna give X-2 another try to see if it's really as bad as I used to think it was.
They make such a gorgeous couple
Ah, ok. Thanks for that. I'll look into it.
right... brother loves yuna in FFX-2 although she is his cousin... but cousin and cousin is possible today :)
i did what you said and got rikku thanks so much. :)
i don't see how everyone was dissing the fashion in the game. I thought it suited the islander final fantasy kinda style.
I always got Lulu, every time...wow! I want to get Rikku...
It depends on how affectionate you are to Yuna. The lowest affection gets you a ride with Kimahri. The highest gets you a ride with Lulu. I believe Rikku is 2nd highest.
I want to hear Lulu and Aurons deep philosophical conversation.
oh Rikku you could hug me as much as you damn well please. :3
whats the name of the song thats playing when there talking on the way to the temple
to get other people to ride, before this scene you basically always have to talk to that person first in every scene, and give potions to when they're low on hp. If you don't want to ride with lulu, kill her with tidus.

Natashina
Isn't that taboo in almost anywhere?
@@SubjectULTIMA Sure is. Dunno what this person is on about lol.
I always get Lulu. She's awesome so I don't mind, but I would like some differentiation. How do i get other characters?
I don't know about all of them, but "Suteki da ne" isn't very subtle in it's imagery. It's obvious that Yuna was no longer a maiden after that scene.
@Xepscern oh my god i never ever thought of that once
To ride with rikku you have to talk to her alot and heal her alot in battles
Now I want to play FFX all over again ._.
And I haven't even finished beating it yet! D:
aaw how cute x3
((Support for Tidus x Rikku)) =D
Tidus: Sorry About Wakka.
Rikku : He doesn't have to so mean , Ya?
Tidus : Now you're talking like him
Take a closer look at the background during the scene, it loops and loops on the same background XD
"Ride with rikku" You could think something else from THAT title.^^
Use potions on Rikku over and over. I think the relationship value goes up by one everytime you do. And I think you have to have Tidus use them.
How do you get different characters to ride with you? I forgot how you do that... Does it depend on your party?
When I do Tidus Blitz Ace Overdrive I always get Yuna to throw the ball to me since I use her all the time in battles.
Rikku's wonder girl... she's not even cold wearing clothes and pants like that lol XD
That moment when you realize that Rikku is Twilight Sparkle. o.O
Huh, I must have had the highest affection with Lulu all of the times I played because she always rode with Tidus.
Haha.
Rikku: Glomp Time!
Even if it was serious she was pretty cute doing that. It probably took a lot for Rikku to not go "OMG WTF are you talking about" when Tidus said "Yuna's not sacrificing herself". I didn't know either so I prolly shouldn't be talking though.
I felt like Rikku's character got much more clingy and whiny, while Yuna's improved. Not to mention that Yuna's VA improved dramatically in between games.
I got the Rikku and Lulu when I played twice
but you can have the conversation at guadosalam with rikuu too
