I remember ages ago, when trying to 100% the game, I was at the very end and found out I missed some important key items that I was unable to go back for and wound up shutting off the PS2, a few months later I went to play again and my save had been corrupted I never had it in me to pick up the game again. This playthrough inspires me to dig out the old ps2 and FFX and start again. Keep up the great work sir.
I actually seen Luzzu's cut scene at the Djose Temple. Before you fight that Sinspawn boss fight, you would walk up to the command center where Gatta is guarding saying, "The Operation will begin shortly, please check all of your equipment." Then after that scene, I talk to Gatta twice and he ask you two questions and you reply, "Yeah you should be in the front line" option twice. Then at the end of the operation, I would see Gatta dead, and then at the temple, Luzzu's would kick and punch the wall blaming himself.
I remember when I first played that I used a Deathtouch doll for Lulu, just because my sister and I found it hilarious when she sent it to run up to an enemy and then kill it with one hit. Same for Yuna, which we just called the attack "Rod of Shame".
Right now I’m enjoy Fossil Cait Smith running up, hopping onto flying Bite Bugs and droppin them before they shatter. It’s not reliable, but it’s hilarious when it works. 😅 I also LOVE having Yuna attack. The hollow twack of her rods are awesome. I want to put her on Auron’s grid, or Tidus’s, maybe, and then utilize her thwack potential. Long live FFX!
Speaking of Braska's statue...did anyone else notice that Remiem Temple in the Calm Lands has a statue of Braska in it? It's kind of funny considering that that temple has been abandoned for hundreds of years.
You know, youre right, I wouldn't take my kid brother on a dangerous pilgrimage. However, it seems that child soldiers are pretty common, at least children who are being trained to be soldiers later on, within the world of Spira. Maybe it wouldn't be so unusual seeing summoners take young siblings on their journeys
Thanks for this informative video. I stumbled upon it by accident and had no idea that Luzzu could survive in Gazza's stead and I've done a 100% run of this game. Subscribed!
I'd say that if you're a new player, you'd really want to get Pray, because it's the only form of healing that doesn't use anything up (Mana Points or items), and it heals mulitple targets. It can also be good for making sure everyone can avoid a boss' powerful or regular multi attack (like the Spherimorph, which is a pain-in-the-ass battle).
"Come to think of it, did I really have to know about Jecht? What about my feelings? *"Better than you finding out at a critical moment, becoming emotional."* The foreshadowing is strong with these lines.
21:21 I don't think Yuna ever bows like this anywhere else. Only really noticed when I watched someone else's playthrough recently. I wonder if it was the old "prayer" in development and this scene was never changed.
enjoyed watching your walkthroughs with the funny commentaries. I never managed to complete the game ever but you made it feel like I was playing alongside. keep up the good work! I've been waiting for your updates almost everyday. haha.
You say it's dangerous to go on a pilgramage, but there's all these NPC's just strolling along with you, not getting attacked by random monsters. I mean, Sharlinda just skips along carefree. Seems pretty safe to bring a kid along.
Not sure if spoiler but i think last one when Tidus was swimming after sin and passes out, you see Luzzu in the middle of that weird place. Hes shaking his head like sigh i didn't think my life would end that way.
In the fight against the first two basilisks, Kimarhi actually DID have a turn - he used Lancet and learned Ronso Rage: Stone Breath, THEN he got petrified
My main reason for liking Khimarhi as a character is his protectiveness towards Yuna (it's adorable... especially when you know he's the one who took Yuna to Besaid when she was a little kid, after her father's death... damn, Square should have made a cute little OAV showing their meeting and travel to Besaid). Otherwise, I think he's the character who gets the least attention in the story. Lol at Isaaru's challenge... when you know the whole story, it feels kind of wrong. I mean, really messed up.
I always found it odd that theres no water aeon, you have shiva and ifrit the fire and ice opposition and ixun is thunder but no water, anima is dark and magus, valefor, bahumat and yojimbo are all unalighned
Yeah! If you tell Gatta to proceed to the fighting front lines, he listens to you and dies. Instead you get a really dramatic scene where Luzzu snaps! I prefer saving Luzzu, honestly. Gatta is alittle annoying and Luzzu has a bigger connection to the main party.
Actually, even if Luzzu survives, his body will be in that house. It must be an oversight from the developers, also in the HD Remaster, as there is no other NPC looking like him.
+ChaosN After this comment got a response, I read yours again and I realised that by doing this Square Enix have given us a nice example of Schrodinger's Cat :P I am sure it was on purpose.
***** Nothing about a particular treasure chest, just the bug where when you see Tidus opening up a chest sometimes he's not even facing it. A minor oversight but I wonder if they left it in there on purpose
Idk if anyone mentioned this but at 23:45 when you enter that room on the bottom left theres like a dead body, if you interact with it it just says "rest in peace"
I admit I over level since I love playing for fun rather than challenge so by this point at operation mihen I have the 'ara' spells with Yuna and Lulu and everyone is about 1000 hp.
I love how you get a new weapon for lulu dropped on the second basilisk fight and she's the only party member you forget to check for upgrades on gear xD
Funny thing with petrifaction. I got a weapon for auron called "the gorgons gaze" and its a stone touch weapon. Which for auron is absurdly powerful. Made me really happy and glad i bought the avenger for tidus instead if the tko. Because i like auron more then wakka. wakka can be kinda annoying but he's still pretty awesome too. I imagine its a rare drop because i didn't really farm for it at all.
Just started watching this because I didn't want to buy a PS3/4 or vita hahah. Thanks for the awesome playthrough and even though I've played through the PS2 one myself many times, I still find new things (like how cheer can only be used up to 5 times. I always spammed it back when I played haha)
As soon as Maroda started talking I thought "that's Choji from Naruto!" Just checked and I was right, they're both voiced by the same actor (Robbie Rist).
I played though this game twice years ago. i had no idea you could have an effect on who survives or even that you could get a cutscene with Gatta at the temple. just went and saw the cutscene when Luzzu survives in another vid... much more interesting in my opinion.
As much as I'm grateful that they've remastered such a wonderful game, I think it's a shame that they couldn't improve much with other NPC's and whatnot. You know what I mean? I know the main characters are obviously seen a lot more than other characters, but it seems like they should've been able to do that with all of the characters. Maybe not at the same scale, but maybe a little bit at least. Granted, it has been a while since I've played the original on the PS2, so I don't if they have improved on them or not, or even if they could've. Just a mere observation though. Thank you for the videos Dan, we're all loving them. Keep up the good work.
Love these play through being using it as a guide and dude you have it spot on, and Luzzu in the hut he wasn't there for me even though he is dead but is it him as he said he was rip into two and that guy does have legs, I am playing it on the ps4 that would make any differences would it? but as others have said following till the end!! 10/10
Hey dan did you do the extract ability? I think it was from wakka. Or was it someone else. You said you were going to do it once u grt ability spheres but I didnt see it when u got 4 from the 1st batch of basiliks you fought. Was just wondering. :D carry on~ :D
dansg08 Why not just not move forward until you get the required ability sphere? I usually sit tight until i get the required sphere. It doesnt make that much difference because theres always a way to kill any enemy really. Especially this early.
O.O That is the first time I've ever seen Luzzu lying on the bed as well! I totally missed that before! Is he always there, or do you need to talk to Gatta first to trigger his appearance? Concerning Gatta at the command center, he will die you if tell him TWICE to fight on the front lines. Any other responses will result in Luzzu's death instead.
i started to play FFX few days ago after a long 6-7 year brake.. but i found this walkthrough and i saw myself doing a lot of mistakes and missed a lot of things.. i guess i'll have to start all over again..:) but i really enjoy listening to you while watching you play, very nice! :) btw.. you are a funny guy, i sometimes laugh a lot :)
Hold up! Auron said to Maester Kinoc "Those who abandoned the teachings died while those who are faithful remain." Now we see that some of the crusaders lived even though they abandoned the teachings. Now sure Auron was probably generalizing but if the point of Yeven being there was to show the massacre as an example on why not to disobey then why leave survivers? Surely they could say that it wasn't Yeven's will but sheer bad luck at this point.
So if I missed the Destruction sphere in the Djose temple is there any way to go back later in the game to get it? When I try to go to the Temple I get chased off. Any way around this or did I mess up this play through? I have the airship, just after beating yunalesca, do I need to keep progressing in the story before I can go back? Hope this made sense, lmk if you can help.
Some enemies have special attacks that can bypass immunity, but they are very rare and appear in the post-game. An example is Shinryu's Eraser from the monster arena.
i'm playing this game all over agian, i fucked up big time that why, anyway just wana let u know, i hate that shit boy too, and i love this little cut season of u commentary about that shit ass boy, lol
I think I saw a MTV show once about some Guado's in Djose Shore...
+HeseQ Really? Strange..
🤣
Brilliant
6 years later and still funny

Gravewalker49 You should never give up, always play and try harder
Worth it totally, I just got it on Xbox. I'm so glad they ported it this was my favourite game as a young teen

Was that Braska or Lord Zaon? I don't recall it because my Braska but you could be right.
You know, youre right, I wouldn't take my kid brother on a dangerous pilgrimage. However, it seems that child soldiers are pretty common, at least children who are being trained to be soldiers later on, within the world of Spira.

Your paitience and tactical thought into every wild encounter is inspiring
Notice how Auron doesn't even look back when the bridge starts shaking, true badassery right there.
Facts. He probably rememberes from 10 years ago

Quinton Flynn again, as the summoner in Djose Temple. He's even more prolific than i though.
enjoyed watching your walkthroughs with the funny commentaries. I never managed to complete the game ever but you made it feel like I was playing alongside. keep up the good work! I've been waiting for your updates almost everyday. haha.
Fun fact: Isaaru has the same voice actor as Axel from the Kingdom Hearts games, both made by Square Enix.
and raiden from mgs2 also
and Iruka from Naruto

Yeah, that was so sad! I recently replayed and noticed it. Love the detail in this game
In the fight against the first two basilisks, Kimarhi actually DID have a turn - he used Lancet and learned Ronso Rage: Stone Breath, THEN he got petrified
"Light shine strong, our woe begone"
Yuna with the #bars
My main reason for liking Khimarhi as a character is his protectiveness towards Yuna (it's adorable... especially when you know he's the one who took Yuna to Besaid when she was a little kid, after her father's death... damn, Square should have made a cute little OAV showing their meeting and travel to Besaid). Otherwise, I think he's the character who gets the least attention in the story.
Lol at Isaaru's challenge... when you know the whole story, it feels kind of wrong. I mean, really messed up.
I have never noticed Luzzu there before wow
Easy to miss... the model is like... fused with the treasure chest behind the counter. Talk about a glitch.
I always found it odd that theres no water aeon, you have shiva and ifrit the fire and ice opposition and ixun is thunder but no water, anima is dark and magus, valefor, bahumat and yojimbo are all unalighned
A Leviathan would be nice.
Leviathan is too big to appear and fight alongside Yuna. Shame
Oh man leviathan wouldve been sweet
Suuuper old comment, I know.... but, I've always considered Tidus to be the water aeon, at least thematically.
Doubt anyone will see this, but with his obsession with blitzball, and being a dream of the Fayth, Tidus is definitely the water aeon.
I've never seen the Luzzu cutscene actually : thanks for that :) Man I love this game. really like the commentary also, it's soothing :)
Oh wow, I’ve never seen Luzzu either 0n the bed either!
haha, 9 hours in and he remembers to change the Aeon scene. I played a whole game forgetting every, single time!
This might sound stupid, but I keep hearing "Operation Mi'hen" as "Operation Mayhem," and now I'm imagining a FFX/Fight Club crossover.
Mayhem's a good name for it considering Sin wiped the floor with the Crusaders
Yeah! If you tell Gatta to proceed to the fighting front lines, he listens to you and dies. Instead you get a really dramatic scene where Luzzu snaps! I prefer saving Luzzu, honestly. Gatta is alittle annoying and Luzzu has a bigger connection to the main party.
Actually, even if Luzzu survives, his body will be in that house. It must be an oversight from the developers, also in the HD Remaster, as there is no other NPC looking like him.
+ChaosN lol he's inside and outside at the same time lol
+ChaosN After this comment got a response, I read yours again and I realised that by doing this Square Enix have given us a nice example of Schrodinger's Cat :P I am sure it was on purpose.
+ChaosN Seems as though they didn't really fix the in game bugs even after remastering it. Like the treasure chest.
Fox Tashikata
what treasure chest?
***** Nothing about a particular treasure chest, just the bug where when you see Tidus opening up a chest sometimes he's not even facing it. A minor oversight but I wonder if they left it in there on purpose
"If you wanna kill this little shit."
Omgg I was cracking up xDD
One of the best rpg games i ever played on console and the first game i played on playstation
“Oh shi- that’s Luzzu?” Favorite part of the this video.
fucking awesome playthrough. i will stick till the end.! Nice Stuff. also my favourite game.
+Rene Clause thanks! Hope you enjoy the rest :)
+dansg08 yeah man nice play through, this game takes me back a few years
Idk if anyone mentioned this but at 23:45 when you enter that room on the bottom left theres like a dead body, if you interact with it it just says "rest in peace"
By the time the enemies get powerful enough to not get one shot, lulu will have level 2 spells, the enemies won't be able to keep up.
I had her level 2 spells for Operation Mi'Hen. Made fighting Gui a breeze. I'm trying to have her level 3s by the time I fight Seymour
@@fredcheckam Did you do some sin scale grinding on the ship?
I admit I over level since I love playing for fun rather than challenge so by this point at operation mihen I have the 'ara' spells with Yuna and Lulu and everyone is about 1000 hp.
I love how you get a new weapon for lulu dropped on the second basilisk fight and she's the only party member you forget to check for upgrades on gear xD
Pray has gotten me out of so many close call situations don't you talk shit on Pray
Yeah, I use pray a lot, which I end up having from the start of Mihen Highroad.
20:21 omg I have never seen that before
I wonder if it’s Gatta on the bed instead if you choose him
when you talk to him at the command center you tell him to go fight and he will die. otherwise he defaults as "protect the command center" and lives.
23:35 I don't think I've ever opened that chest... I don't recall opening it... one of those really well hidden ones
Imagine Pace's fate if Isaaru got the final summoning.
Word
Funny thing with petrifaction. I got a weapon for auron called "the gorgons gaze" and its a stone touch weapon. Which for auron is absurdly powerful.

I like to look at it like saving Luzzu instead of killing Gatta. 😇

just went and saw the cutscene when Luzzu survives in another vid... much more interesting in my opinion.
That wall of floating stones has to be pretty annoying to open ad close the temple.
Pretty sure you missed a chest by Luzzu's body :P
Luzzu laying there proves Gatta is a little liar 😂
I got a auron stonetouch weapon from a fiend

And when I say improve much, I meant by the graphics, of course.
Maybe Pacce was some sick mage.
Love these play through being using it as a guide and dude you have it spot on, and Luzzu in the hut he wasn't there for me even though he is dead but is it him as he said he was rip into two and that guy does have legs, I am playing it on the ps4 that would make any differences would it? but as others have said following till the end!! 10/10
How do I open the chest inside the shop? There's a guy blocking the way
I think those circumstances are Probably bosses or important bosses that tie in with the story ?
Hey dan did you do the extract ability? I think it was from wakka. Or was it someone else. You said you were going to do it once u grt ability spheres but I didnt see it when u got 4 from the 1st batch of basiliks you fought. Was just wondering. :D carry on~ :D
Nope, never got it. Like I say I would recommend people to get it first time. I wasn't going to back track on the sphere grid just for that :)
dansg08 Why not just not move forward until you get the required ability sphere? I usually sit tight until i get the required sphere. It doesnt make that much difference because theres always a way to kill any enemy really. Especially this early.
What made you choose the new music score? The original has so much more emotion
Yeah, I can't play with the redone music. The original soundtrack actually sounds orchestrated and it's so much fuller. Much more dramatic.
So I’m playing FFX the remastered one, and Luzzus body isnt there like on yours. Hmm I wonder what you did different, or if it’s random?
I love the Ronso we nicknamed our friend Brian "B-ran" in high school and we still call him that. lol
Geeze, 17:48 got emotional really fast. Voice actor seems in real pain.
10:00 to the left is a chest i think right before the fight triggers
I always stick Khimahri onto the Rikku's path to give him steel. Means he is always useful to me....... until i actually get
Rikku
I wonder what you did to trigger Luzzu in the bed? I’m looking at the bed and he definitely isn’t here
"Djose!"
O.O
That is the first time I've ever seen Luzzu lying on the bed as well! I totally missed that before! Is he always there, or do you need to talk to Gatta first to trigger his appearance?
Concerning Gatta at the command center, he will die you if tell him TWICE to fight on the front lines. Any other responses will result in Luzzu's death instead.
use kimari and lancet the basalisk.
stonegaze limit
I think everyone gets a stone weapon here. i just got one with yuna and ive gotton one with auron before. the gorgon gaze.
I also got Fossil Cait Smith around there.
i started to play FFX few days ago after a long 6-7 year brake.. but i found this walkthrough and i saw myself doing a lot of mistakes and missed a lot of things.. i guess i'll have to start all over again..:) but i really enjoy listening to you while watching you play, very nice! :) btw.. you are a funny guy, i sometimes laugh a lot :)
Thanks :) But why would you want to start again? There's very few things that are missable in this game, especially at this stage.
I didnt want to miss a single thing..:P well i played only for about 2hours..thats not a lot to repeat :)
I'm curious where to find Flametongue? I thought I had it but can't find it now.
dude's torn in half but vibing on the bed
Edit and whoa i have not seen that scene where it shows luzzu on the bed 0.o then wtf was the scene where he was in the ghost realm in the last one??
Hold up! Auron said to Maester Kinoc "Those who abandoned the teachings died while those who are faithful remain." Now we see that some of the crusaders lived even though they abandoned the teachings. Now sure Auron was probably generalizing but if the point of Yeven being there was to show the massacre as an example on why not to disobey then why leave survivers?

13:33
Djosaaaayy
Nice. Keep playing
Can someone tell me where luzzu’s body is? I can’t see it
I dont see Luzu on the bed, what triggers that?
love your voice
My favorite Lulu, Riku, Yuna,
GATTA OH MY GOD
So if I missed the Destruction sphere in the Djose temple is there any way to go back later in the game to get it? When I try to go to the Temple I get chased off. Any way around this or did I mess up this play through? I have the airship, just after beating yunalesca, do I need to keep progressing in the story before I can go back? Hope this made sense, lmk if you can help.
In my playthrough following your footsteps Luzzu will not appear in the bed at Djose temple. It's empty :-)
What happens if you go left instead of going djose temple?
What’s the song called that continuously plays from the beginning to 16:41?
10:40 I miss the full animation already.
Is that a box behind the old dude at 20:34
all night long video games thats my life until the end if te yahooooo
'If you really don't like this guy and you want to kill the little shit....' I spat my milk
everytime i see lu's cactor weapon, i see the nazi symbol
i just cant unsee it
lol my first play through i tendedto talk to veryone and well....^^; at least Luzzu survived
in what circumstances would stoneproof would fail you?
Some enemies have special attacks that can bypass immunity, but they are very rare and appear in the post-game. An example is Shinryu's Eraser from the monster arena.
Silly Khimahri!
Where's his damn body?! I can't find it!
Ah nevermind. Found it. Geez man. Way to put in a dead body.
weirdly luzzu wasnt in the hut for me even though i took the same route as you
i usually make Khimari a 2nd Wakka
hakuna matata
What can I do for you, boss? 😀
how is it that luzzu is there with his whole body.. and gatta says hes torn in half
i'm playing this game all over agian, i fucked up big time that why, anyway just wana let u know, i hate that shit boy too, and i love this little cut season of u commentary about that shit ass boy, lol
👍🏻
i dont like when u skip things. im getting very impatient with ur skipping past battles.
