Yuna started the journey prepared to sacrifice her life. She lived, but in turn lost something even greater. Just sad. Heart-breaking. I love this game.
@@rythmjc3 I'd like to think Tidus did exist a thousand years ago. The fayth constructed everything they remember of Zanarkand, so who knows, maybe the origin of Tidus' image and personality was once alive as a Zanarkand citizen.
That audio drama doesn't exist to me, even if it was included with the HD remaster. I am glad they included that episode of how Yuna became part of the Gullwings.
@@NickIsMe171Shuyin looks almost identical, he really existed and was a blitzball player it is very likely that based on their memories of the latter, tidus was formed
Honestly the scene that broke me wasn't the hug or yuna saying she loved him, no it was when she was whistling to the sea hoping despite everything that tidus would come back to her that small scene is what broke me.
it's because he said "use that if we get separated, then i'll come running." She's trying to get him back even though she knows that he faded with the dream of the fayth. Definitely hit me too.
Im 37. I played this game when I was 16. And everytime I want to feel human again, i come here. To remind me that I could cry back then. I am still a human.
I just played ff8 again. From last playing it around 99-00. I now get the ending, brilliant twist to the game. Which makes it more appealing now than it did 20 years ago, it was always in my top 2 or 3, but I think, maybe it's number 1 (Witcher 3 is close by)
***** There are so many tearjerker moments in this (the music on its own is enough) but yes the ending just takes it to a whole new level. The amount of expression and emotion they pulled off in this ending is astounding
I agree. The whole ending got to me but it was something about that moment where she is whistling just made me fall apart. I remember the first time I saw it the thought hit me "He said if she ever needed him to just whistle and he'll be there, and she's just whistling her heart out...and he's never going to be there." It makes me cry every time.
From the Tidus and Jecht cutscene to killing all your aeons to this heartbreaking ending scene… all in one stretch…holy shit what an emotional rollercoster!! I dunno how 15 year old me took it 😭 Best game ever
This game changed my whole life. I can not explain how much it means to me. It holds a place in my heart & always will, thank you Square for telling the greatest story ever told🖤🖤
@@UncleButterworth for me it's also the greatest ever made. That's what you call having an opinion. There is no single game, movie, anime, book whatever that made me feel the same thing than ffx did
It really is a modern day odyssey. I come back to it again and again. Sometimes I’ll remember a scene or a moment plying it, and for a brief moment I’m 13 again.
yeah FF8 had a happy ending even though the main game storyline is pretty depressing, and I thought that ending was still one of the greatest. @@TheSoxfan815
To tell you the truth, everything about Tidus' character was far more relatable and tragic to me than Yuna's character. The whole time he speaks to himself about going home....longing for a place he'll never return to or see again. And then later, seeing him confirm to himself he has to let it go all the while still keeping a positive outlook for Yuna is the quality of a true champ. Tidus is truly an exceptional character. Moreso today imo than I had ever thought of him over 20 years ago.
I'm with you, Genji-san. After all the bitter blood between him and his dad through much of the game, it was nice see they made peace with each other, and themselves. This was probably one of the most emotionally charged endings in the Final Fantasy series.
That clap between Jecht and Tidus, man ... That is a killer heart-strings moment. That and the "Never forget them" sequence are among the best video game moments of all time IMHO. Such a positive, accepting view of transience and death. Just beautiful. I first played this game when I was in 6th grade. And have played it many times through since then. It is among my favorites, and definitely the best FF IMHO in terms of emotional, character-driven story telling. I believe this game helped me process so many things about death and acceptance in my life, and for that I am eternally grateful.
I know it was cringe at some moments, but dear god...this game brought me to the Final Fantasy universe. So grateful. And especially as a teenager, I thought Tidus and Yuna's love story was a pure as it got. And you know what? It still is to this day.
I always rewatch this cause I hardly feel like crying to anything irl. I still don't but it gets me well up ish. Just checking if my tear ducts are not clogged up or something. Its this, FF9 Bahamut attacks alexandria scenes, Cowboy Beebops ending and Edward going berserk at teh end of FMA : Brotherhood.
I really don't know what's the most painful thing to watch: - Yuna running into Tidus' arms, Tidus trying to catch her and her literally walking through him - Tidus' reaction when she says I love you or - When he backhugs her, when they both try to feel each other's presence for one last time Y'know I'm the type of person who thinks about what the characters think, how they feel in different cutscenes and wow there's just so many things untold between Tidus and Yuna in this scene: the fact that they both won't ever see each other again how they feel about it, the fact that even though Tidus knew their love would be impossible he tried his hardest to make it work and he realises here that they've reached its end, and just... LOOK AT THEM FOR GOD'S SAKE!! PS: If you want not to cry, just stay focused on Wakka's face at the beginning. It helps. Just a little, but it helps.
The part where she says "dream that have faded" and they run all those memories trought the screen with that beautiful yet melancholic soundtrack allways hits my heart I dont know wht
The timing of when I played this game was incredibly convenient for me. My grandfather was in the hospital for two months straight. He was dying of cancer. After he passed, all I could think about was Yuna's last message in her speech: "The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded, never forget them." Every time I come back to this heartbreaking ending, I just cry whenever I hear her say that.
I always burst in tears and emotions for Yuna and Tidus, the moment she fell while trying to hold him back always get my eyes wet, this is the most beautiful and also saddest love story in the world of videogames, I feel poor for the kids nowadays, they only know about guns and magics, not like the good old time of ffx and PS2 ;.;
Yes I may be 14 and growing up with all these consoles but this is my favorite game of all time. For the first time in 7 years I finally finished it. I always get teary when tidus hugs Yuna and the music just makes it perfect. I would rather Final Fantasy X over any game
I just finihsed playing, and when Yuna said I love you. It kills me. best ff played so far. many years ago, Ive seen my cousin playing this. and in 2015, i played it, and the games story and love line between tidus and yuna is just way incredible.
The ending really highlights Tidus' amazing character development. I've completed this game about once a year since its release (sad, I know) and the ending never loses its potency. Such a tear jerker.
Wow. I remember staring at the The End screen, listening to To Zanarkand, and bawling my eyes out for hours, the first time I played this game. It's truly magical. Definitely one of, if not the BEST Final Fantasy. I'm so glad I played this game.
At the very end when Yuna remembers everything that happened, and then says "never forget them". Gahh i was a plate of soup and that part always gets me
Wow man, im speechless. so many emotion now when im watch this video. here my little story about. Im finish this game when im about 13 y/o, and i still have my father. during that time honestly im still a kid and i didnt really feel anything, i just feel like nothing when i watch that moment, except a little sad when the end of game coz its so sad and romantic. but i dont really understand about the meaning of tidus and jecht claping hand moment. Now its already 12 years passed. my hero (my father always be my hero, my real hero) already passed away 7 years ago. suddenly i found this video without any intention, when im see other final fantasy movie. and then now, when i see tidus and jecht claping hand moment. its feel so deep. coz we never know how important people that we loved until they leaving us. my father always be my hero. he strugle to raise me and make our family can get a comfortable life (our family is middle-upper class and honestly i have a very good life when im still kids and thanks god until now), even after he fell down in next year (1 year after i finish my FF X game, im already 14) coz hypertension and stroke. my turn to take care of him. and after he enduring it for long time, when 2007 my hero already rest forever and he can really rest and leaving his tiring job and businnes that make him exhausted.. once again im feel so deep of emotion when i see this again, its bring back so many memories when im still kid and my father still healty and we all happy altough my father already busy deep down his job and businnes. i realized that tidus moment so hardly is the moment that everybody who already have their father deceased dreamed and wanted. coz like i already said, ~that we never know how important people that we loved until they leaving us.~ thanks for video uploader, and for square, for giving all of us, especially me a beautifull ansd classy arts, like FF collection, Mana series, and many more i cannot tell you one by one. You giving such a fine arts that's so beautifull, romantic and full of good and nostalgic memories for us. sorry if my story taking so many space. ~best regard from Jakarta~
That scene at 2:12 when Tidus is walking away from the party is in my opinion fucking epic. I'm always thinking there : "That is the man who killed Sin without a single one sacrifice, who destroyed the fate of summoner and rescued a whole world." Tidus is sure badass at the end i think. :D
I mean you have to be kidding right? He killed sin KNOWING he would disappear from Yuna and the rest, knowing it was the end. He still did it for the people of spira and so that yuna didnt have to die. Come on, if that aint the biggest sacrifice i dont know what is.
The line “or the dreams that have faded never forget them” hurts because Tidus and Yuna had dreams to see his Zanarkand. They had dreamed to defeat sin without sacrificing anyone. Not only was he a dream that faded but all the dreams of their future together faded as well. This story was so well put together and beautiful 😢
I'm 18 years old and I swear I have never cried as much in my life as I did at this ending. Holy shit. I cried for the whole day. My favourite game ever.
I know this has probably been said before but in the game, pyreflies were supposed to represent spirits of those departed, those dead. And @2:36 when that single pyrefly flies in front of Yuna's face, I always imagined it was because a little piece of her died when she realized that this was goodbye
Honestly the last words she speaks hits me hard now with the pandemic and all the people that have died and the lives that were lost. Hopefully we can rebuild society again like they did
I have been watching this video again and again throughout all these years, giving me the flash back for the first time I am playing the game in 20 years back. Unforgettable stories...
Everytime I see Yuna phase through him, gives me chills. And the music just so good. Using the same note or progression as the opening Zanarkand theme, give a nice throwback to the memories and builds it all together
Seymour Flux ended my run for me about 10 years ago. I came back, got revenge, after so long beat the game. I cried so hard when Tidus left in such a heartbreaking way. FFX is a masterpiece and will always be one of my favorite games of all time.
One of the best endings In gaming history. Always gotta come back to this! I used to play this with my older brother late nights trying to beat the whole game passing the controller back and forth just getting excited from the story/cutscenes ,trying to the beat the bosses! But we had that strategy guide at some point and that was so clutch XD! We still here in 2022! I love this game, tidus and yuna forever :’(
This game is such a tearjerker. Tidus finally saying "I hate you" to Jecht. Auron departure. Tidus fading away. Yuna confess her love. Yuna whistling away realizing Tidus wouldn't come running. This is the greatest Final Fantasy that I ever played
@@phntm13 The correct word would be ‘remake’. As in a completely new version of FFX remade from the ground up, with completely new gameplay and maybe a few changes to the narrative.
The people and the friends we have lost, and the dreams that have faded, never forget them. that is what it means to live a life. That is why artists can use lies to tell the truth. That is also why this game was a piece of art, there are just some of the most powerful moments that could have been conjured by a video game.
The first time I played through FFX, back when it was released and I saw this ending I just couldn't believe it. I smacked my controller at my wall and stood there in shock and tears rolling down my face. When I tell things like that to people I know I'm weird or mentally ill or something else. I just don't know why.
What a way to end one of the best installments of the Final Fantasy series (even though I don't play it)! In fact, the ending seems more than perfect for certain movies with bittersweet endings!
I remember watching this scene for the first time as a child and was sad Tidus, Auron and Jecht all had to depart and leave, leaving the group permanently and going to the farplane. Despite that the group saved Spira by breaking the millennium tradition and stopping Yu Yevon's soul is worth never-ending laud for Yuna and her friends, but to not enjoy the celebration with your beloved is painful. Yuna hid her sorrow behind a smile for the public, knowing she yearned to see Tidus again. I immensely enjoy every detail from the ending of Final Fantasy X during this time; From the astonishing graphics, to the souls of the Aeons being laid to rest, to the people of Zanarkand fading from the rock, to Tidus fading away, Yuna and the group saddened on Tidus leaving, to Tidus giving Jecht a high five (with Braska and Auron present.) I also enjoy the secret ending with Tidus waking and swimming to the surface, hinting possibly to the sequel.
6:28 I'd say this is my favorite scene of all time in any Final Fantasy, there's just nothing else that feels as special as this moment....FF X really did it good.
That scene is what every Final Fantasy is all about. A story that leads up to ones fantasy that’s final, although it may not always turn out the way one would’ve wanted it to, unfortunately.
This is literally the only game that gets me to cry at the end, every time I see this. It’s the mix of the soundtrack and the goodbye that does it for me. If they ever remake this game, I hope it still hits me in the feels. My favorite rpg.
The good thing with stories is that you can forget about the sequels on focus on what you like about it. I believe FFX2 is just another timeline / what if Ffx had a sequel And it makes FFX even better !
For me, the only saving grace of X-2 was the 'Bad' Ending (that one makes much more sense to me) and Paine (but ultimately, I don't remember how the story much anymore xD)
If you remember that X-2 isn't anywhere near as serious a game as X and only get the normal/bad ending it tends to be a pretty enjoyable ride. Yes Yuna is different from when she was in X but that's mostly her emulating Rikku in an attempt to "be happy." We even see this in the first area of the game with the crab where she uses Rikku's "disasteriffic" and a few other times where she even does the same motions. The normal/bad end was probably my favorite part since it put nice bow on top of the series: Tidus doesn't come back but Yuna, after all she's seen and been through on this adventure, decides it's time to live "her story" and promises "it'll be a good one" which shows that she finally able to start moving on from her grief and it fits in well with the tone of X's ending but on a happier note.
I played this FF for many years, I have seen this end countless times, and yet continues to make me cry always as if it were the first time. Best Final Fantasy ever
Do you think they can feel each other during the final embrace, with eyes closed at 3.30... Tidus shines at first then he puts his arms around Yuna and stops "shining" at that moment ! Don't you think this end is too short and violent after having spent hours and hours with them all ... the most heartbreaking game ending ever !!!
By violent I mean, after what Tidus is supposed to feel for her, he is almost ready to jump with a single "sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand, goodbye" ... Are you serious dude ??? After all you've been through with her and your friends you just say goodbye and jump for nowhere forever !!! I would have been devastated ... lol
+Gregoria K I view it as Tidus trying to make it as painless as possible, for himself and everyone there. Especially Yuna. Sometimes the short 'goodbye' is much easier; much less painful. The ending speaks for itself: what would have been harder to endure? Him saying goodbye and jumping ship instantly? Or what actually occurred?
He did it out of love for Yuna he didn't want to hurt her you saw when he kissed her...men try and act the hard man at times like this because they think it's the right thing to do. He had to be strong for her just like he always had being throughout their story. I really don't like the fact we are made to learn to love the characters and their development as a couple and then they were torn apart it was horrible. Much sadness 😢😢
@@vivenzeo yeah at that point, he was putting on a strong face, in his typical fashion he wanted to depart quickly and nonchalantly and just said "goodbye", but once it hits him when Yuna runs right through him... you can see the emotional toll it takes. I think that's also why we don't really see Tidus going through an existential crisis after discovering the truth, he internalizes a lot of his feelings and tries to keep the upbeat and optimisitc attitude
I remember my ten y.o. self watching in disbelief at the ending and standing there motionless in front of the credit, hearing the orchestral version of Suteki Da Ne. It really left a deep mark in general and made me love my asian roots.
The final fantasy games never fail to hit me right in the feels. I've played FF since 8 and every story just has to give you that feels moment. You're a fucking legend, Hironobu.
Square Enix has not known perfection on the triadic level as this game. Musically, visually, and, most importantly, story wise. I'm 26, a band director, sitting in my office bawling right now because of this ending.
Fantastic comment,, This game was pure alchemy. Its strange how as an adult the stories I've watched or read in other mediums that have impacted my soul (less than 5) all share similarities with this game that I played as an 11 year old, I think that people that get this type of epic, broad but intimate storytelling REALLY GET IT, and I just have I didn't have such a strong tridadic reaction to a piece of visual storytelling until Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009) where I was so in sync with the beauty of the storytelling and what it was trying to do. Red Dead Redemption is another one As a matter fact, FFVI-X is the most consistent solid gold run that any company in the industry has ever done imo, Square were untouchable then and couldn't make shit if they tried. The PS1 trilogy (and FFX) alone is just a perfect distillation of what made the series peerless.
Beautiful cinematic and music to reward the player at the end of the game. Nowadays they visuals all look good but they lack the feeling of this story.
ok i have played the game over 7-9 years ago i've grown up and not gonna cry on my second play through....after finishing the game again....scared my life and i cried sitting on a corner again..this game gets me everytime...T.T
Damn, this scene ruined me as kid...but this game and FFX-2 are so great that I find myself playing through these bittersweet moments from time to time ):
+daniel marshall in x2 there are multiple endings and the real one is when tidus and yuna reunites but it doesn't end there after the events of x2 tidus dies again get revived x2 last mission happens gullwings breakup, then final fantsy x will happens, tidus lives in besaid, sin is revived yuna and tidus argue over their "new love interest" seems like they broke up and tidus makes it seem like he is forced to follow yuna again seriously the ending sucks
j.c man I mean I was so happy to see the final scene after the credits. And then when Tidus came back at the end of X-2. but man... all the different endings and everything going on with Tidus. Too much man too much going on
I'm almost 6-7 hours into ffxvi and I'm so infuriated with the game that I had to come back to scenes like these to remind me what final fantasy truly is, at least to me
It really was. From X-2 on, the combat was changed, and the story lines weren't as powerful. Shame really, this is the only FF game that ever made me cry. Others were sad, but this one REALLY hit me. 3:28 The combination of the moment, the music and her closing her eyes just made me lose it.
Jupp, the character designs in X-2 were already very different. Especially the faces and movements in X-2 made me just go OMG and face palming all the time.. I still consider the graphics of FFX superior, not to mention the plot and setup. The combat system is okay.
My best friend and I 100%'ed this game back when it first came out. He loved Auron, thought he was the coolest. The game was a touch grindy, but now that hes gone I'd give anything to play through one more time with him❤
I was 17 years old when I first reached and witnessed this epic ending that literally broke me. After this cutscene was finished I felt like I needed a psychologist.
This wasn’t recommended to you, you searched it to cry again. “See, you’re crying again.”
Damb You Jecht
I wanted to cry a bit. Makes me feel human.
true...
Your right i did
Yes u got me haha
Yuna started the journey prepared to sacrifice her life. She lived, but in turn lost something even greater. Just sad. Heart-breaking. I love this game.
Lost someone who made a huge impact to Spira's history but never existed in the first place, such legendary story
@@rythmjc3 I'd like to think Tidus did exist a thousand years ago. The fayth constructed everything they remember of Zanarkand, so who knows, maybe the origin of Tidus' image and personality was once alive as a Zanarkand citizen.

Same I got so sad, I knew they were going to bring back the whistle and I just bawled at this part 😭
#truth
"And the dreams that have faded" plus the montage and Suteki Da Ne. If you ever loved someone you can't resist that.
it's because he said "use that if we get separated, then i'll come running." She's trying to get him back even though she knows that he faded with the dream of the fayth. Definitely hit me too.
Im 37. I played this game when I was 16. And everytime I want to feel human again, i come here. To remind me that I could cry back then. I am still a human.
Me too. Me too❤
35 and previously 15. Magic still works for the most beautiful ending and music ever!
I just played ff8 again. From last playing it around 99-00. I now get the ending, brilliant twist to the game. Which makes it more appealing now than it did 20 years ago, it was always in my top 2 or 3, but I think, maybe it's number 1 (Witcher 3 is close by)
33, one day we shall join our family in Zarnakand
The scene where Yuna is whistling always gets me.
"If we ever get separated, just whistle and I'll come running."
As great as that is, her speech makes me cry the most :'(
***** There are so many tearjerker moments in this (the music on its own is enough) but yes the ending just takes it to a whole new level. The amount of expression and emotion they pulled off in this ending is astounding

BloodTearFantasy then they brought him back which made a mockery of what you felt imo
*****
The entire story of FFX-2, assuming that's what you're referring to, was a mockery of the original storyline all together if you ask me.
"Would you say I become a hero?"
- Zack Fair
"Dont forget them"
- Yuna
I think Im going to cry so hard 🥺
Hero you not be but can be seen as one if do something for other but not want annything back as favor
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BRING ZACK INTO THE EQUATION LIKE MY HEART ISN'T ALREADY BLEEDING !!! XD lol sorry
“What can I say... You guys are the best”
-Noctis
why did I torture myself by looking up this scene?
Did the same today. I just love crying to myself apparently... :/
I come here every couple of years to make myself depressed and satisfied to see her whistle. You can really feel her pain and desire.
"dream that have faded,never forget them"...............I believe thats the reason
Because you love this ending even if it's sad
Because there's a catharsis in the beauty of heartache that makes life feel more real and full
From the Tidus and Jecht cutscene to killing all your aeons to this heartbreaking ending scene… all in one stretch…holy shit what an emotional rollercoster!! I dunno how 15 year old me took it 😭
Best game ever
This game changed my whole life. I can not explain how much it means to me. It holds a place in my heart & always will, thank you Square for telling the greatest story ever told🖤🖤
younevergottobloom this game this story ling and the characters affected me to such a degree. I loved everything about this story every single thing
"greatest story ever told" lol ok
It's nice and bittersweet, but don't praise it like that.
@@UncleButterworth for me it's also the greatest ever made. That's what you call having an opinion. There is no single game, movie, anime, book whatever that made me feel the same thing than ffx did
Same here
It really is a modern day odyssey. I come back to it again and again. Sometimes I’ll remember a scene or a moment plying it, and for a brief moment I’m 13 again.
How come the saddest most bittersweet endings, are also the freaking most brilliant endings.
because they invoke emotion, and make us feel as though we can relate to their pain. ToT
Because they are the more realistic.
Happy endings are too generic, predictable and artificial.
Because its realistic and relatable.
Closer to truth
yeah FF8 had a happy ending even though the main game storyline is pretty depressing, and I thought that ending was still one of the greatest. @@TheSoxfan815
So fucking tragic. Until the very end, Yuna forces herself to smile to spare those around her. The greatest hero of all time.
For fucking real though. She lost damn near everything, and still puts on a brave face.
Part of why she's my favorite protagonist/deuteragonist.
To tell you the truth, everything about Tidus' character was far more relatable and tragic to me than Yuna's character. The whole time he speaks to himself about going home....longing for a place he'll never return to or see again. And then later, seeing him confirm to himself he has to let it go all the while still keeping a positive outlook for Yuna is the quality of a true champ.
Tidus is truly an exceptional character. Moreso today imo than I had ever thought of him over 20 years ago.
They get happy ending in ff X-2
My heart BROKE into a thousand pieces during this, I don't think a game ever made me cry this hard...
When Tidus high fives his dad. That's when I started to cry.
A crisp high five; a satisfying and cathartic ending to the Tidus/Jecht relationship story line.
My God. Those Japanese know how to spin a yarn.
Genji Shimada best part
Genji Shimada I started. dying after Yuna told Titus she loves him and that painful expression on his face. The tears just started coming...
I'm with you, Genji-san. After all the bitter blood between him and his dad through much of the game, it was nice see they made peace with each other, and themselves. This was probably one of the most emotionally charged endings in the Final Fantasy series.
That clap between Jecht and Tidus, man ... That is a killer heart-strings moment. That and the "Never forget them" sequence are among the best video game moments of all time IMHO. Such a positive, accepting view of transience and death. Just beautiful.
I first played this game when I was in 6th grade. And have played it many times through since then. It is among my favorites, and definitely the best FF IMHO in terms of emotional, character-driven story telling. I believe this game helped me process so many things about death and acceptance in my life, and for that I am eternally grateful.
You could almost imagine Jecht saying, "Ya did good, kid."
I know it was cringe at some moments, but dear god...this game brought me to the Final Fantasy universe. So grateful. And especially as a teenager, I thought Tidus and Yuna's love story was a pure as it got. And you know what? It still is to this day.
I finished this game fifteen years ago... Why do I still cry everytime I watch the ending?!
SAME!
Me too, the feels bro the fuckin feels
Everytime I watch this ending: “You’ll cry. You’re gonna cry. You always cry. See? You’re crying”
I always rewatch this cause I hardly feel like crying to anything irl. I still don't but it gets me well up ish. Just checking if my tear ducts are not clogged up or something. Its this, FF9 Bahamut attacks alexandria scenes, Cowboy Beebops ending and Edward going berserk at teh end of FMA : Brotherhood.
This is one of the most beautiful stories ever told
Damn, crying again...I keep coming back to it every year... it hits me every single time.
"And the dreams that have faded " this line hits hard bro
Who's watching year 2024. Still same heartache and same feeling. This is always makes me cry.
I really don't know what's the most painful thing to watch:
- Yuna running into Tidus' arms, Tidus trying to catch her and her literally walking through him
- Tidus' reaction when she says I love you or
- When he backhugs her, when they both try to feel each other's presence for one last time
Y'know I'm the type of person who thinks about what the characters think, how they feel in different cutscenes and wow there's just so many things untold between Tidus and Yuna in this scene: the fact that they both won't ever see each other again how they feel about it, the fact that even though Tidus knew their love would be impossible he tried his hardest to make it work and he realises here that they've reached its end, and just... LOOK AT THEM FOR GOD'S SAKE!!
PS: If you want not to cry, just stay focused on Wakka's face at the beginning. It helps. Just a little, but it helps.
2:29 Tidus knows he is about to die, and he is scared...
@@maurodv8220 7:00 always gets me.
The part where she says "dream that have faded" and they run all those memories trought the screen with that beautiful yet melancholic soundtrack allways hits my heart
I dont know wht
Definetely Wakka crying at 3:50
You forgot about the next scene on the docks where she’s whistling in vain for Tidus to come back to her 😢🥺😭😭😭😭
The timing of when I played this game was incredibly convenient for me. My grandfather was in the hospital for two months straight. He was dying of cancer. After he passed, all I could think about was Yuna's last message in her speech: "The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded, never forget them." Every time I come back to this heartbreaking ending, I just cry whenever I hear her say that.
Aw man. I’m sorry for your loss.
I always burst in tears and emotions for Yuna and Tidus, the moment she fell while trying to hold him back always get my eyes wet, this is the most beautiful and also saddest love story in the world of videogames, I feel poor for the kids nowadays, they only know about guns and magics, not like the good old time of ffx and PS2 ;.;
well said clifford
Yes I may be 14 and growing up with all these consoles but this is my favorite game of all time. For the first time in 7 years I finally finished it. I always get teary when tidus hugs Yuna and the music just makes it perfect. I would rather Final Fantasy X over any game
Clifford D. Lewis If you think this is the saddest love story; you should play 999. Definitely agree with the most beautiful one tho
I just finihsed playing, and when Yuna said I love you. It kills me.
best ff played so far.
many years ago, Ive seen my cousin playing this.
and in 2015, i played it, and the games story and love line between tidus
and yuna is just way incredible.
in the Japanese Version she sais "arrigato" which i think is much more emotional.
+KeunT4e arrigato means "thank you", right?
+Lena / meeresträne Yes. Although technically it is "arigato"
+Aynessa Valerion omg, ok sorry for that mistake! lol
+Dallin Nguyen just think about it and you will get the idea. +arigato has a far more deeper meaning than just "thank you"
The ending really highlights Tidus' amazing character development. I've completed this game about once a year since its release (sad, I know) and the ending never loses its potency. Such a tear jerker.
This game changed my life.
Joshua A Freytes Martinez mine too 😭
Me too 😩
Wow. I remember staring at the The End screen, listening to To Zanarkand, and bawling my eyes out for hours, the first time I played this game. It's truly magical. Definitely one of, if not the BEST Final Fantasy. I'm so glad I played this game.
I love how tidus holds yuna so lovingly sweet. My most favourite couple in the final fantasy universe. 🌟💎💕
It’s 2019 and it still hits the feels
At the very end when Yuna remembers everything that happened, and then says "never forget them". Gahh i was a plate of soup and that part always gets me
_Because_ major throwback clips and then put a memorable line will destroy you. ;u;
A plate of soup...I never heard that expression. Is it because soup tends to spill so it's kind of like you're crying? Genius! Thank you
Yes man that always hits me i dont know why
Wow man, im speechless. so many emotion now when im watch this video. here my little story about.
Im finish this game when im about 13 y/o, and i still have my father. during that time honestly im still a kid and i didnt really feel anything, i just feel like nothing when i watch that moment, except a little sad when the end of game coz its so sad and romantic. but i dont really understand about the meaning of tidus and jecht claping hand moment.
Now its already 12 years passed. my hero (my father always be my hero, my real hero) already passed away 7 years ago. suddenly i found this video without any intention, when im see other final fantasy movie. and then now, when i see tidus and jecht claping hand moment. its feel so deep. coz we never know how important people that we loved until they leaving us.
my father always be my hero. he strugle to raise me and make our family can get a comfortable life (our family is middle-upper class and honestly i have a very good life when im still kids and thanks god until now), even after he fell down in next year (1 year after i finish my FF X game, im already 14) coz hypertension and stroke. my turn to take care of him. and after he enduring it for long time, when 2007 my hero already rest forever and he can really rest and leaving his tiring job and businnes that make him exhausted..
once again im feel so deep of emotion when i see this again, its bring back so many memories when im still kid and my father still healty and we all happy altough my father already busy deep down his job and businnes. i realized that tidus moment so hardly is the moment that everybody who already have their father deceased dreamed and wanted. coz like i already said,
~that we never know how important people that we loved until they leaving us.~
thanks for video uploader,
and for square, for giving all of us, especially me a beautifull ansd classy arts, like FF collection, Mana series, and many more i cannot tell you one by one. You giving such a fine arts that's so beautifull, romantic and full of good and nostalgic memories for us.
sorry if my story taking so many space.
~best regard from Jakarta~
yes i think this ending will resonate more strongly with adults. It's very deep
That scene at 2:12 when Tidus is walking away from the party is in my opinion fucking epic. I'm always thinking there : "That is the man who killed Sin without a single one sacrifice, who destroyed the fate of summoner and rescued a whole world." Tidus is sure badass at the end i think. :D
I mean you have to be kidding right?
He killed sin KNOWING he would disappear from Yuna and the rest, knowing it was the end. He still did it for the people of spira and so that yuna didnt have to die. Come on, if that aint the biggest sacrifice i dont know what is.
I remember crying so hard when cabriolet21 came online. Best part of the game.
In all seriousness, probably the most well-executed ending I've ever witnessed in a game.
The line “or the dreams that have faded never forget them” hurts because Tidus and Yuna had dreams to see his Zanarkand. They had dreamed to defeat sin without sacrificing anyone. Not only was he a dream that faded but all the dreams of their future together faded as well. This story was so well put together and beautiful 😢
I'm 18 years old and I swear I have never cried as much in my life as I did at this ending. Holy shit. I cried for the whole day. My favourite game ever.
As I've gotten older, both the lake scene and this ending hit significantly harder than they did in my youth
I feel the tears in my eyes everytime
If this scene doesn’t break your heart, you’re lying.
That "Never forget them" always makes me cry. Truly a masterpiece. Unfortunately we don't have these games nowadays.
I know this has probably been said before but in the game, pyreflies were supposed to represent spirits of those departed, those dead. And @2:36 when that single pyrefly flies in front of Yuna's face, I always imagined it was because a little piece of her died when she realized that this was goodbye
You just made this ending sadder and painful to watch, thanks but stop!
Wow u really make it much sadder. And I never think about that for 21 years! Piece of her died when the loves one need to go 😔 🥲
That's exactly what I thought! That the piece of her spirit that loves him followed him.
Keep whistle
Honestly the last words she speaks hits me hard now with the pandemic and all the people that have died and the lives that were lost. Hopefully we can rebuild society again like they did
I have been watching this video again and again throughout all these years, giving me the flash back for the first time I am playing the game in 20 years back. Unforgettable stories...
Everytime I see Yuna phase through him, gives me chills. And the music just so good. Using the same note or progression as the opening Zanarkand theme, give a nice throwback to the memories and builds it all together
Seymour Flux ended my run for me about 10 years ago. I came back, got revenge, after so long beat the game. I cried so hard when Tidus left in such a heartbreaking way. FFX is a masterpiece and will always be one of my favorite games of all time.
Rikku saying “We’re gonna see you again….?” at 2:10 kills me every single time. It’s so falsely optimistic and they all know it. So good
thats up there with "You're a bad liar... you know?" in an earlier scene for me
One of the best endings In gaming history. Always gotta come back to this! I used to play this with my older brother late nights trying to beat the whole game passing the controller back and forth just getting excited from the story/cutscenes ,trying to the beat the bosses! But we had that strategy guide at some point and that was so clutch XD! We still here in 2022! I love this game, tidus and yuna forever :’(
DONT SAY YOU DIDNT CRY, ALL BIG MEN BECAME CRY BABIES WATCHING THIS
Albertricks / Crashed you're so true
I'm crying right now LOL this scene always gets me
All weak men*
mozyman05 don’t project your insecurity of your masculinity, or lack thereof, onto others
*sniffles* 😢 On, God...
Ever since the first time I saw this ending, the piano that hits at 1:37, when Tidus begins to fade, always gets me 😥
This game is such a tearjerker. Tidus finally saying "I hate you" to Jecht. Auron departure. Tidus fading away. Yuna confess her love. Yuna whistling away realizing Tidus wouldn't come running. This is the greatest Final Fantasy that I ever played
I played it during highschool, that was 2003..and playing it again. 2019.
Nothing beats the Final Fantasy.
This is my first and best game of my life. It will always be
this makes me cry over and over again.. best rpg on ps2.
By far
After mgs2-3 im sorry
Why are these final fantasy games so emotional?!!! I'm crying over here
I am still wondering why they gave the whole party auto life, when taking down Yu yevon.
Whenever I am sick, I watch this to help me cry. I always feel better afterwards. What a magical scene...
One of the best games I've ever played. A fully remastered version like they've done with FFVII would be truly fantastic.
There is a remaster..
Literally says it in the title
@@phntm13 The correct word would be ‘remake’. As in a completely new version of FFX remade from the ground up, with completely new gameplay and maybe a few changes to the narrative.
34 years old but still cry watching this fantastic-exquisite cutscene......
Final Fantasy just loves making you cry at some point in there games.
i love how lulu just couldn't give a shit when he jumps and does a half-arsed wave.
I will never unsee this
And Kimahri didn't care for Tidus too lolol
@@someeuropeanguy7378 actually if you talk to Lulu outside the cutscenes you will notice that she opens up more to Tidus as the story progresses
@@littlen8279 you mean that one scene on the snow mobile?
She wanted his 1000 year old D but it was yunas
Flying down and high fiving his dad is also a masterpiece ending to Titus, love it
The people and the friends we have lost, and the dreams that have faded, never forget them. that is what it means to live a life. That is why artists can use lies to tell the truth. That is also why this game was a piece of art, there are just some of the most powerful moments that could have been conjured by a video game.
The greatest love story ever told. Who's watching this in 2020???
I think the japanese know. I have seen a vid where they hosted crying sessions somewhere in japan.
🙋🏻♀️
2021 here
To hell with you "Who's watching this in" people.
The first time I played through FFX, back when it was released and I saw this ending I just couldn't believe it. I smacked my controller at my wall and stood there in shock and tears rolling down my face.
When I tell things like that to people I know I'm weird or mentally ill or something else.
I just don't know why.
It's an emotional ending. Why would you be mentally ill for being invested?
For almost 20 years, I cried every time I watch this and I still loving it.
What a way to end one of the best installments of the Final Fantasy series (even though I don't play it)!
In fact, the ending seems more than perfect for certain movies with bittersweet endings!
I remember watching this scene for the first time as a child and was sad Tidus, Auron and Jecht all had to depart and leave, leaving the group permanently and going to the farplane. Despite that the group saved Spira by breaking the millennium tradition and stopping Yu Yevon's soul is worth never-ending laud for Yuna and her friends, but to not enjoy the celebration with your beloved is painful. Yuna hid her sorrow behind a smile for the public, knowing she yearned to see Tidus again.
I immensely enjoy every detail from the ending of Final Fantasy X during this time; From the astonishing graphics, to the souls of the Aeons being laid to rest, to the people of Zanarkand fading from the rock, to Tidus fading away, Yuna and the group saddened on Tidus leaving, to Tidus giving Jecht a high five (with Braska and Auron present.) I also enjoy the secret ending with Tidus waking and swimming to the surface, hinting possibly to the sequel.
Finished it few weeks ago.
This is probably one of the saddest endings I've seen in a game 😭
That bubble with Tidus’s picture in it.
THAT WAS MY TEAR EVAPORATING
6:28 I'd say this is my favorite scene of all time in any Final Fantasy, there's just nothing else that feels as special as this moment....FF X really did it good.
That scene is what every Final Fantasy is all about. A story that leads up to ones fantasy that’s final, although it may not always turn out the way one would’ve wanted it to, unfortunately.
The people and the friends that we've lost, or the dreams that have faded...
Never forget them 😢
Brendan Hales Gets me every time... Probably the deepest line in all of Final Fantasy. It's way deeper than just a video game really.
1:34 the moment you finally realise it's the end of tidus' journey, followed by yunas "no"....i'm blubbering like a baby already
This is literally the only game that gets me to cry at the end, every time I see this. It’s the mix of the soundtrack and the goodbye that does it for me. If they ever remake this game, I hope it still hits me in the feels. My favorite rpg.
More than 10 years later, same tears and sadness, but such a beautiful ending. The emotion is intact. A masterpiece.
Should've ended here. It was a bitter sweet ending.
I disliked how they've changed Yuna on sequel. She was one of the best heroines in the series imo.
The good thing with stories is that you can forget about the sequels on focus on what you like about it.
I believe FFX2 is just another timeline / what if
Ffx had a sequel
And it makes FFX even better !
@@lhautlow yup... I never played x2 so anything that happened doesnt exist in my canon/mind, and after 15 years I haven't gotten the itch to try it
I loved the sequel equally. It was fun to play for me. And the perfect ending was how I imagined it 🤗
For me, the only saving grace of X-2 was the 'Bad' Ending (that one makes much more sense to me) and Paine (but ultimately, I don't remember how the story much anymore xD)
If you remember that X-2 isn't anywhere near as serious a game as X and only get the normal/bad ending it tends to be a pretty enjoyable ride. Yes Yuna is different from when she was in X but that's mostly her emulating Rikku in an attempt to "be happy." We even see this in the first area of the game with the crab where she uses Rikku's "disasteriffic" and a few other times where she even does the same motions. The normal/bad end was probably my favorite part since it put nice bow on top of the series: Tidus doesn't come back but Yuna, after all she's seen and been through on this adventure, decides it's time to live "her story" and promises "it'll be a good one" which shows that she finally able to start moving on from her grief and it fits in well with the tone of X's ending but on a happier note.
I played this FF for many years, I have seen this end countless times, and yet continues to make me cry always as if it were the first time. Best Final Fantasy ever
The beauty of this ending, now mixed w/ the nostalgia of beating it 21 years ago, makes it so much more impactful. Where does the time go...
I really try not to cry, but it gets me EVERY TIME!
I look at this everytime I’m really sad. One of those old memories that help me release the tears.
Onions.... Onions everywhere T_T
Lmfao
Said Robby ikrrrr
Tidus shock at 3:07 becauses thats probably the first time someone has told him they love him.
You can't just put that out there, oh my god.
Do you think they can feel each other during the final embrace, with eyes closed at 3.30... Tidus shines at first then he puts his arms around Yuna and stops "shining" at that moment !
Don't you think this end is too short and violent after having spent hours and hours with them all ... the most heartbreaking game ending ever !!!
By violent I mean, after what Tidus is supposed to feel for her, he is almost ready to jump with a single "sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand, goodbye" ... Are you serious dude ??? After all you've been through with her and your friends you just say goodbye and jump for nowhere forever !!! I would have been devastated ... lol
+Gregoria K I view it as Tidus trying to make it as painless as possible, for himself and everyone there. Especially Yuna. Sometimes the short 'goodbye' is much easier; much less painful. The ending speaks for itself: what would have been harder to endure? Him saying goodbye and jumping ship instantly? Or what actually occurred?
He did it out of love for Yuna he didn't want to hurt her you saw when he kissed her...men try and act the hard man at times like this because they think it's the right thing to do. He had to be strong for her just like he always had being throughout their story. I really don't like the fact we are made to learn to love the characters and their development as a couple and then they were torn apart it was horrible. Much sadness 😢😢
This ending STILL makes me fucking cry. That pained look on Tidus' face as he runs to join Auron, Braska and his dad in the far plane just hurts me.
he's actually trying to stop crying as early as he was saying "Yuna, i have to go."
@@vivenzeo yeah at that point, he was putting on a strong face, in his typical fashion he wanted to depart quickly and nonchalantly and just said "goodbye", but once it hits him when Yuna runs right through him... you can see the emotional toll it takes. I think that's also why we don't really see Tidus going through an existential crisis after discovering the truth, he internalizes a lot of his feelings and tries to keep the upbeat and optimisitc attitude
I remember my ten y.o. self watching in disbelief at the ending and standing there motionless in front of the credit, hearing the orchestral version of Suteki Da Ne. It really left a deep mark in general and made me love my asian roots.
The final fantasy games never fail to hit me right in the feels. I've played FF since 8 and every story just has to give you that feels moment.
You're a fucking legend, Hironobu.
Square Enix has not known perfection on the triadic level as this game. Musically, visually, and, most importantly, story wise. I'm 26, a band director, sitting in my office bawling right now because of this ending.
Fantastic comment,, This game was pure alchemy.
Its strange how as an adult the stories I've watched or read in other mediums that have impacted my soul (less than 5) all share similarities with this game that I played as an 11 year old, I think that people that get this type of epic, broad but intimate storytelling REALLY GET IT, and I just have I didn't have such a strong tridadic reaction to a piece of visual storytelling until Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009) where I was so in sync with the beauty of the storytelling and what it was trying to do. Red Dead Redemption is another one
As a matter fact, FFVI-X is the most consistent solid gold run that any company in the industry has ever done imo, Square were untouchable then and couldn't make shit if they tried. The PS1 trilogy (and FFX) alone is just a perfect distillation of what made the series peerless.
Couldn't have said it any better myself. This truly was a special experience and more than 'just' a game to me.
Beautiful cinematic and music to reward the player at the end of the game. Nowadays they visuals all look good but they lack the feeling of this story.
When Yuna runs for Tidus and goes right through him, I can't imagine experiencing something like that. So much sorrow! 😢
I’m 36 and still cried knowing exactly everything that happens, TF?!?!?!?
I've seen this scene so many times and I always cry like a baby. It's just so beautiful.
Eventhough in X-2 Tidus was revived, this still feels heartbreaking
ok i have played the game over 7-9 years ago i've grown up and not gonna cry on my second play through....after finishing the game again....scared my life and i cried sitting on a corner again..this game gets me everytime...T.T
Damn, this scene ruined me as kid...but this game and FFX-2 are so great that I find myself playing through these bittersweet moments from time to time ):
+daniel marshall in x2 there are multiple endings and the real one is when tidus and yuna reunites but it doesn't end there after the events of x2 tidus dies again get revived x2 last mission happens gullwings breakup, then final fantsy x will happens, tidus lives in besaid, sin is revived yuna and tidus argue over their "new love interest" seems like they broke up and tidus makes it seem like he is forced to follow yuna again seriously the ending sucks
j.c man I mean I was so happy to see the final scene after the credits. And then when Tidus came back at the end of X-2. but man... all the different endings and everything going on with Tidus. Too much man too much going on
I'm almost 6-7 hours into ffxvi and I'm so infuriated with the game that I had to come back to scenes like these to remind me what final fantasy truly is, at least to me
The last real good Final Fantasy.
It really was. From X-2 on, the combat was changed, and the story lines weren't as powerful. Shame really, this is the only FF game that ever made me cry. Others were sad, but this one REALLY hit me.
3:28 The combination of the moment, the music and her closing her eyes just made me lose it.
More or less sadly, Final Fantasy was never the same after Squaresoft became Square Enix :(
Jupp, the character designs in X-2 were already very different. Especially the faces and movements in X-2 made me just go OMG and face palming all the time.. I still consider the graphics of FFX superior, not to mention the plot and setup. The combat system is okay.
A A AGREED
The last good final fantasy story was ff12 in gameplay ffx was the last in characters ff 9 was the last
My best friend and I 100%'ed this game back when it first came out. He loved Auron, thought he was the coolest. The game was a touch grindy, but now that hes gone I'd give anything to play through one more time with him❤
i'm sorry for your loss. i'm sure he's always watching over you
"or the dream that have faded" makes my heart broken and sad thinking the dreams Yuna and Tidus had together but the dream never come true
I'll come back here to listen to Yuna's speech once again after we beat COVID-19
I was 17 years old when I first reached and witnessed this epic ending that literally broke me.
After this cutscene was finished I felt like I needed a psychologist.
Man him giving Jecht 5 really hits hard.
I imagine alot of people who lost thier fathers felt that way too.
I come back every so often just to make sure I still have emotions and this ending never fails me even as a grown ass man...
Still gets me.
The saddest moment in Final Fantasy history.
Until Avengers Infinity War, this was the saddest ending I've ever witnessed on screen.
