@@akira-ud3gr Because saying “I love you” isn’t a part of the culture, many traditionnal or old couples express their love in other ways. Most of the time, their love is expressed through actions instead of words. When it comes to saying words of affection, some people might do this by expressing their gratitude to their significant other. While the wordありがとう(arigatou) means “thanks” and doesn’t translate to “I love you” in any way, it can be said in a way that subtly expresses your feelings.
@@albundy1485 I think "I love you" is better in this case because they never said that to each other. If they did, "thank you" would be better for sure. It's also what everyone would say in that situation too, I think. The localization people pushed for "I love you" and they accepted it as well.
That gets you in your feels(goosebumpy emotional feeling) and then when she says "I love you"...😭😭😭😭😭 Bc its the only time either of them admits to it all game.
When he looks and sees her, so strong but broken inside and, behind her, everyone crying and waving goodbye... to me, it is pure poetry without words. I can watch one hundred times, I will ALWAYS cry with this scene.
Hey . I'm Japanese . I'm glad that you enjoy the FFX. My first time experience to play FFX is when I was high school student. And now, the 2020(you play 2019) , your reaction is same as mine. FFX is the best game. Nothing beats the shock of this game. No matter who says, this game is the best. Your tears remind me of playing this game for the first time. I'll never forget you. Thank you so much.
They were best friends above all else. Tidus wanted to help Yuna achieve her goal, no matter the cost. He respected her choice, though it made his heart break. Only when Sin is defeated can Yuna open her heart truly. It's such a wonderful and mature love story of two people who care for one another. Best game story of all time.
This will start a new trend, like movie/show reactions but no fair use. And not long-form thanks to the editing for us non-live plebs. Very impressive, and this is one of my favourite games from when I was a kid, so yikes the emotion of seeing someone go through this game.
@@LeethLee1 I love the FF series and Kingdom Hearts series. It's my all time favorite games to play. So being able to experience others go through what I did is a treat in of it's own.
Will Stutler I’m 25 and finished the game yesterday for the very first time. I saw tiny glimpses of it as a kid when my brother was playing it, but not very many. I loved the game so very much, one of my favourites of all time.
That’s the beauty of this game, it’s so painfully tragic. These people have given up *everything* and all they get in return is pain. But they *keep going* because that’s the example they’ve set for everyone and they can’t falter. All they can do is move forward and never forget.
Would've stayed masterpiece if a fictional post drama story which span a continuation after the X-2 event weren't wrote for the sake of .. I don't know why. That additional plot were unneccesary, inconsequential, and most importantly ... anger provoking.
As an older gamer who originally played this back in 01, and who also went through the range of feels you experienced, it warms my heart to see gamers of this generation enjoy the games I loved. It also gives me comfort to see the HEART DESTRUCTION LEVEL 9000 YOU SUFFERED from the final cinematic! Wait till you go to a Distant Worlds live concert and they start playing "To Zanarkand"! Your tears will flow again!
@@nezkeys79 agreed I don't feel like they honestly took the time to play it and listen to the game. I also love how she was memeing the beginning and then when she got to Zan and the opening repeated she got really emotional it was touchinng
@@seemlesslies yea i got emotional watching her reactions. The kiss scene in the water really affected her and then all the time i was wondering how she would cope with sacrificing her aeons, dealing with the fate of tidus, and yunas speech. Right at the the series of flashbacks with the words "never forget them" critstrikes me everytime
So many emotional moments throughout this game and one of the great things about it is that the heartwarming moments end up making the heartbreaking and emotional moments that much more impactful when they arrive because you have established a connection to these characters therefore it means that much more when your hit with them, that was what happened for me at least. In terms of the ending cutscenes, one of the most emotional moments (because theirs a lot lol) for me is when Yuna whistles and this time Tidus doesn't come running to her like they had promised each other earlier that they would do if one of them was in trouble, to see her just whistling over and over when she knows deep down he isn't coming back for her is just...… damn, it's like right in the middle of this emotional cutscene you get punched right in the gut with that part as well.
True. The buildups is so good. The plot twist, the reveal of tidus true nature, all leading up to this ending. my fav ff games and one of my fav games right now. I have finished og 7 and as good as 7 is, it doesnt compare to 10 ending. Amazing how some people consider the story as bad/awful. Cringe? I can see where they came from. But awful/bad?? Nahh
As a grown ass man in my 30s and now married, i am not the least ashamed to say this game made me weep like a child as a teenager lol Superb story from start to finish... Amazing
Now I realized the last high five with Jecht was so meaningful. Yuna couldn't physically touch Tidus but Jecht could. So at the momoent, Tidus had already gone to the same world as Jecht...
yup. notice his body was going through her during his hug. when iw as younger i thought it was just some video game clipping. now i realize that it's just because he couldnt actually phisically hold her. meaning, Yuna probably didnt even get to feel his hug.
Yes. He transitioned to the Farplane where Braska, Auron, and Jecht are now. The background coloring during his decent is awfully close to the Farplane color scheme.
To me the most heart wrenching scene was Yuna still whistling to the sea, never losing hope that Tidus will come running. Such a nice touch seeded so early in the game. Damn those onions...
thats the beauty of this game, it actually has some pretty serious twists, at first you basically go ya you should totally do this then later its like im sorry i said you should do this
i just started it a little while ago and its been very addicting and fun crazy to think it's like 19 years old it really doesnt feel like it im glad i chose to enter the franchise here!
@@peterbrooke7146 When i play through again now, i have all these walkthrougs online... I just remember back to when we could barely speak english, and got through it! We had no idea what what was going on, but we beat it! We never knew how big the game really was. That's why i can enjoy replaying it years and years later. Always something i didn't do!
@@jeeroylenkins3081 Some people don't like it, and when its done badly its really bad, but I think leaving it out or doing the "teasing" or "implication" of a romance with no payoff is so much worse. Also, you miss out on stories like this one. And God damn would it be a shame to miss out on this one.
Isn’t it wonderful?.... how a single game can make you feel happy, sad, depressed, angry, annoyed and just toy with your feels?!? That’s why this is my favorite. Glad you enjoyed this masterpiece!
Not really, she's a bit bitchy but is ultimately supposed to be a good person I think... She has some good redeeming scenes in ffx-2 Also, just doing the pilgrimage is kind of the most selfless and good thing you can do...
This is honestly my favorite game of all time and I'm so glad you were able to experience it. This was the game I, personally, grew up with so I have a lot of fond memories of it. The music and that end scene honestly make me cry every time, and just watching this video brought tears to my eyes. The things I would give to be able to experience this game for the first time again. I'm glad that people are still able to enjoy and appreciate this game and I'm super happy you were able to as well. Thank you for this, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
I love the way they bait and switch us - prepared to lose Yuna at the end of the journey, only to flip it at the last second. I think it helps us cope with the loss. I really appreciate how you repeated "I hate this game". Reminded me a lot of Tidus saying "I hate you," to his "old man".
I’m really happy to see someone actually crying in this story. Most people said that this game has a complicated story but I think it’s so simple. Watching this actually made me cry to. It is one of my favorite games and I think that you loved this game as well.
Little Pankek don’t you “hate”something because you don’t want anything bad to happen to characters? When you feel the pain they are in? I said I hated this game too because of the pain. But honestly I loved this game so much. If she actually didn’t like it, I am sorry but the way she was talking it was kinda like me and other people I saw play this game.
@Curtis Riceman Same. It will always be special to me because of this. When I really look at it, being able to make you cry is part of what makes a really good game.
This is the best Final Fantasy I've ever played. The game that makes me so emotional, the story, the character and the plot is perfect for me. Not so many game that i played nowadays really make me feel like I am a part of the story and the world like Final Fantasy X did.
I totally agree. By the time I finished FFX, I felt like I just had saved Spira and had returned to my own world. Never had a game immerse me to such level. I felt like a part of me died when Tidus died, and I still tear up to this day when watching that ending. The music was perfect.
I think its the best Final Fantasy. The story just hits so hard, the world they built (Spira) is the absolute best Final Fantasy world, such rich lore and atmosphere, INCREDIBLE music (like most FF), great characters, epic boss fights, and of course that ending, the best of any Final Fantasy. Its sometimes really hard for me to choose especially with amazing games like FF7 (including Crisis Core and its remake), FF12, FF8, etc. but in the end no game made me feel the way FFX does.
Final Fantasy X is by far the best like you said the story, the character development, the level of immersion and even the freedom of customization that you could potentially make yuna hit over 99,000 points in a single physical attack or that Auron could be the best black mage out of every1. The possibilities are endless and it makes different play through even more enjoyable than the last. FFX is a game created well before its time and even though it was it was thought out and executed to perfection I played it on PS2 and love that they remastered it for PS4 and even steam
You should play neir automata. Do all side missions and play the 'campaign' 3 times. The first 2 are copies from different perspectives, and the 3rd is a continuation to part a/b. Part 3 is called 'route C', it gives endings D/E which E is the final final ending. Completely worth it.
@@Jobee05 It's one of the best games ever made. Gameplay, music, art design, story, graphics etc, especially for the time; it's a touchstone classic. It is a landmark game for the playstation consoles because it blew people away how epic, beautiful, cinematic and relatively hardcore and involved games could be.
@@ishmaelforester9825 agreed. It's my favorite of the entire final fantasy series. I love the strength of the characters. Not physical strength, but emotional strength. ESPECIALLY Yuna. I'm actually playing through it again while my son watches because he doesn't have the attention to play it himself, but enjoys when the cutscenes and story content happens.
hakulives2613 I subscribed for that one. It’s awesome to see how a great story can bring emotions like that forward. Square needs to bring this level back! Ugh...can’t wait for FF VII!
It is sad to think that the titled "High Summoner" were granted posthumously to onerous summoner whom have gone through arduous pilgrimage and to finally give their life and the sacrifices of their closest tied Guardian in order to defeat sin through conventional way. It has been a custom tradition that has been practised for an aeon in Spira thus the notion of becoming high summoner surmounts to the conviction of giving one's life in exchange for the short decade of peace for them citizens of Spira as Yuna says "Don't say it is not worth it" when Tidus attempt to rebuke by questioning the worth of a great perilous jouney to ultimately giving one's life for 10 years of peace. I know the plot is designed in such but truly those post summoner could've figured out that the stupid Final Aeon rites to reset Yu Yevon's construction of sin via Yunalesca is a dumb way.
@@KiseiruYoshioka Remember that everyone especially the summoners are brainwashed by the religion to become the sacrificial lamb to slaughter. They are all mind controlled to be happy martyrs for everyone's sake. ITs a very hard thing to convince them otherwise. I'm sure Auron and Tidus wasn't the only guardians to convince their summoners otherwise. It took Tidus to come into existence to convince Yuna otherwise. He himself is a dream manifestation of the all the AEONs that were killed endlessly in this loop for thousands of years grew tired of the cycle of sacrifice and death in exchange for temporary hope (peace). It was the AEONs will to break the cycle and it can only be done by convincing the summoner to find another way to kill Sin permanantly.
@@KiseiruYoshioka You are overlooking the fact that the summoners were not brainwashed. Literally no one, not even the highest members of the Order of Yevon, knew of any other way to defeat Sin, permanently or otherwise. If you dig a little into the lore, there were many summoners in the past who DID try other ways to defeat Sin, but failed and died anyway, only without bringing The Calm for their efforts. Quite literally, the only way Yuna and her guardians were able to defeat Sin was because of Tidus' connection to the (barely) human soul of his father. Without that "in", they would never have gotten close enough to Sin with the airship to even attempt to bring it down.
@@nispelsm The plot were designed in a way that only Yuna and her group are capable of defeating Sin with unconventional way. Given that Final Aeon is the only summon capable of penetrating the layer of Sin but what I don't like is how the other summoner just blindly follow the tradition, fact is that Yunalesca hide a certain amount of info to previous summoner and Auron is pretty much they only one question it, honestly Yunalesca never intend for Sin to be gone forever which is why she provide a temporary method for sin to reset and in return she and her family were treated as saviour.
My 13 year old daughter is playing it now we are in quarantine. Her reactions are mostly the same as yours. I played it with my sister back in 1999, when it came out. Result? My niece name is Yuna :)
Wow! The level of cuteness of this video is amazing. Watching you experiencing all that emotions reminded me why I love the final fantasy franchise. I went through this game for the first time about 15 years ago with my dad, and we finished it together. I remember how we spent entire nights playing it despite that I had school and my dad had to work the next day. Although I was a young 11 years old little boy we went through all the emotions that you experienced, and that I hope everyone experience with this game, together. Now he is not here with us anymore, but everytime I play this game I remember the old good times, when we used to play together. I had a really hard time writing this with my eyes full of tears but I felt that I had to tell this story to anyone who read this. Thank you for this video and I am glad that I foun you!
@@signolias100 except for 13...and 15...lol. while 13 had a story I felt like the quality of the storytelling was not up to par with Square's standard work. 15 was more quest and combat based, which makes for exciting gameplay but they suffered when it came to engaging the player in the storyline and getting them invested.
@@jasonlam6773 You have made the correct choice. That game essentially spits in the face of this one. FFX is a masterpiece. The sequel by contrast is a random clusterfuck of nonsense.
I've been playing this game every 2nd year since it released in 2001, and I cry every freaking time, it is just so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time!
@@yevonsama Hey! FFX-2 was a great and emotional game (in the last 10 minutes). It had a lot of serious dark emotional impact that will really choke you up (in the last 10 minutes).
I'm 37 and played the game when it came out about 18 years ago and played again like maybe 8 years ago. The ending is so damn sad. I now just need to see like the last 5 or so minutes of the ending, boom, crying. I can never not cry. *sniff* Also the song "Suteki da ne" is just concentrated tears and goodness converted into sound.
you can read a book, you can watch a movie....But play a game like this when the story and the characters are soo good i can tell you, its the best experience you can take.
But I don't understand because he did change it by returning for Tidus. Without Auron there pretty much wouldn't have been a FFX and Sin would've lived on
@@staticpiece I think at that point his story wasn't finished. I know a lot of people in there 20's and 30's who feel the same way but as long as you wake up the next day, blessed and still breathing then you can change your fate.
Gregorio This was before they defeated Sin permanently. He was talking about his journey with Jecht and Braska. They wanted to stop Sin too, but then they discovered the truth of the cycle and ultimately how futile it all is. That’s what made Yuna and her guardians decide to find another way. A way to break the cycle.
"As Yuna was performing her incantations, Tidus's body started shimmering. He looks at Yuna, embarrased that his secret was now been revealed. Yuna shakes her head in disbelief: "No", she mutters. "Yuna, I have to go" Tidus, bitterly stating the inevitable. Disbelief makes way to denial, as Yuna shakes her head once more, like an innocent child would: she was not gonna have it. Tidus tries to downplay the obvious: "I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand", pitifully, and then starts to walk away. He makes a brief pause to throw a shy goodbye at everyone, then he resumes his determined departure. "We're gonna see you again?!?, yells Rikku, unsettled, as Tidus kept walking. The absence of an answer was crystal clear: they were not going to. As Yuna watches her lover walk away, still struck in disbelief, unsettlement makes way to anxiety, which then makes way to anguish. Time's up: at the very last moment, her anguish yields to panic. Yuna runs to Tidus. Her moanings are those of a loving heart desperately crying out for the warmth of reciprocity. She throws herself into Tidus's arms, but alas only to be met by a ghostly embrace: she passes right through him and fall on the ground. As Tidus's whisps slips through her delicate fingers, evaporating towards the sky, Yuna's dawning realization can be clearly read onto her face: her lover is already gone. Broken, but still managing to keep her gracious composture, she painfully proceeds to stand up. Chin high, she looks towards infinity like she was contemplating a future that would never come to be, and on an utterly sincere but resigned tone, she gently mutters one last protest: "I love you"
Congratulations on playing one of the most beloved and all time BEST stories ever created in the history of Game Franchises. Final Fantasy X lives not only in eternal RPG legend but also in the hearts of millions around the world.
I come back to the ending of this game so often, just to have a good cry. What a marvel in story telling: love, loss, sacrifice... and not afraid of these themes and their commitment to them. It truly can be an experience that will leave one heartbroken, but sometimes the most poignant stories are that way.
@@Duskeroth i for some reason accidentally saved over my friends save in ff7 when i was playing the game at his place...the friend he and i have together helped him fight one of those bosses with just omnislash and without the underwater materia, my friend got kinda pissed off at me for it but i was like huh, how?
When Auron is getting sent, he pauses and taps Kimari on the chest with is hand in what is basically a handshake from one Guardian to another. Its a small thing, but I think its one of the coolest things he does in the game. Not that it wasnt sad enough, but im surprised Yuna whistling at the dock wasnt included because thats definitely where I almost lost it. Nice recap all around!
PerpetualChristopher love that moment too. I see it as a little nod that it was Kimahri who helped Auron honour his promise to Braska when he died. Kimahri protected Yuna ever since. Just because a dying man asked him to. I’m really glad Auron took a moment to acknowledge that as he left.
@@ObviousCleft Word! Plus, Kimahri was with Auron in his last moments of life. It makes sense that he'd acknowledge him in his last moments as an unsent.
He was basically "you take care of Yuna now". It was really touching because nobody cares about Kimari (even de writters, poor Kimari has like...10 lines in the whole game) but here was Auron basically saying "you matter, I trust you"
I’m quite an emotionally stunted person and FF10 is one of the few things that’s able to make me cry so whenever I feel down I always come back to this video so I can relive this game with you and see and feel your pain while playing this game I just wish it was easier for me to cry. This game just is so special to me and hope more will enjoy it in the future as well
You bring me back to 2005, the first time I played FFX. So much crying, laughter, tears, rage. FFX is my most cherished game for these reasons, and it's so neat to see someone new to it experience it for the first time! You have a new subscriber!
So true, it's the game I always recommend everyone to play especially people who enjoy really well done storytelling and characters you can get invested into. I absolutely love the subtle details of this game. I saw someone once said in a TH-cam comment or on a forum somewhere, can't remember exactly but they made a great point when they said, "the first time you play through this game, you see the world through the eyes of Tidus. The second time you play through this game, you see it through the eyes of Auron" which I find to be so true. It's my favourite game because I love just how much thought and effort when into every detail of it, whether it be the writing, the music, the character designs, the world, theirs so much to love and enjoy about it. If I was stuck and could only play 1 game forever, this would be it for me.
@@phoenixreborn6065 That is so true about seeing it through the eyes of Tidus the first time, and through Auron the second! Dammit, I really need to play FFX again; this would be my 9th playthrough!
@@GearheadGeisha Haha theirs not many games out there or things in general to be fair that I'm a fanboy or super fanboy for but FFX is most definitely one of these things, theirs so much to learn and ponder about with this game, this world and all the characters both main characters and side ones that even now, almost 20 years after playing it the first time, every time I find a new cutscene I haven't seen before or learn something new about the game I'm still incredibly excited, it's just one of them games and things for me, I can't get enough of it. If you would please, "Listen to my story" :P. I first played FFX in 2002, I was 8 years old at the time and had just gotten a ps2 for Christmas (I believe it was Christmas, may have been earlier) but I remember my mum saying "I know you don't usually play games like this (I was playing wrestling and other sport related games and some adventure games at the time, basically just imagine the kind of games an 8 year old would like to play at that time) so I wasn't really seriously into RPGs and probably didn't even know at the time what RPG and especially JRPG stood for and meant haha) but I thought you might like this" (something along those lines can't remember her exact words). Now FFX was released in May of 2002 here in Europe (I'm from England by the way) so this was a relatively new game and after a while of not bothering with it, I thought what the heck and put the disk in and sure enough I was a bit lost getting use to the sphere grid, the turn based combat and gameplay in general, following the story, getting use to the characters etc and I got stuck on what I now look back on as some of the easier bosses in the game for instance I remember getting stuck on the first sin boss battle as part of "operation mi'ihen", when I go back now it's not much of a challenge but I remember as an 8 year old sitting there at a friends house at the time trying to figure out how to beat the boss. It got to the point where I have to admit, I had to get the strategy guide because some parts of the game whether it be the puzzles or bosses, i just couldn't work out for the life of me at the time how to beat them lol. I remember being really shook by the cutscene in Luca where Auron reveals the identity of sin and me being in disbelief with my favourite song in the game "Wandering Flame" playing in the background, amazing. So many memories playing this game including both the heartwarming moments and the tearful emotional ones. Just a great great game and the older I get (I'm 25 as of writing this comment) the more I appreciate it and appreciate (and this may sound overdramatic but oh well) how much it has given me and in some ways helped shape me as a person (for instance, now as a hobby I enjoy writing (or rather trying to write haha) fantasy stories and coming up with my own characters and worlds). You know they say sometimes things are meant to be? Well I felt that was the case for me with this game, by sheer chance my mum bought me this game as a present despite the fact she knew I didn't really play those kind of games at the time and now here I am almost 20 years later sharing my story of how I came to appreciate this game. I have no doubt that If I am lucky enough to have children in the future that I will show them and try to persuade them to play this game and hopefully if I'm lucky they will enjoy almost if not as much as I do. Thanks for reading, take care :).
@@phoenixreborn6065 Forgive me the very late reply but that is so cool that your mom got it for you. Kind of like it was meant to be! I was a late bloomer when I first started this game at 20, nevertheless it was the first story based game I had ever played. Found the game play to be relatively easy, but the story was so enthralling. And it's funny you mention the scene at Luca with Auron giving the big reveal, because I remember that being the moment the first time I played through where I told myself "I must finish this game no matter what." That was only the beginning! So much and more happened, endearing, heartbreaking, heartwarming, and even hilarious events came to follow and by the time I had finished Home, I knew this would be one hell of a ride! It's funny you mention going down a writing path, as I too began to write in earnest after this game and its sequel. I'm at most a hobbyist writer though. Anyways, I am about to begin my next Pilgrimage through Spira on Saturday, because the emotional beating I got from Endwalker just wasn't enough, lol.
The moonflow when Irma and Lucil was trying to get their chocobo across. I laughed twice before boarding. The first time I laughed was when Auron told Tidus Jecht attacked the shoopuf when he was wasted but at the same I was grateful the shoopuf wasn't seriously hurt from the attack.
I leave it for years then play it again when my conscious has forgotten all the minor things. As close to replaying it for the first time as you can get
Same. Played this as a teen and am now 34... This game is without a shadow of a doubt a masterpiece. The music, art, good god the story! Every emotion is stoked. Superb.
When I played the game for the first time I was young. I never had a girlfriend at that time... I never felt love of any kind from a woman. I just found the story beautiful and at the end I just felt like "oh it's beautiful". Now I'm 30... I lived many things and felt love from a woman. I saw the end of the game not so long ago... Didn't see it for a decade. I can tell that I cried out loud... This game changed my life. I just didn't notice the first time I played it. This game is a master piece... It's simply beautiful
I held back tears at the end of this game when Titus told Yuna he had to go.. and I'm male and 53 years old the first time I finished the game lol. Hey it was sad what can I say.
The second the Final Aeon twist is revealed, is when this game goes from a dark, but still adventurous journey to the biggest amount of subtext realization I've ever seen. Rarely does a twist completely recontextualize your entire journey quite like that one, and the flashback of Yuna's sphere hammers it home, just how oblivious we all were. And if that wasn't enough, *it's not even the only one.* FFX may have the "first installment I played bias" in my mind, and I may not have finished it myself for so long and known its twists ahead of my own final playthrough, but it's still a goddamn masterpiece of a story to me.
What I like about FFX is how the world building is so well thought. It's one of the few "futuristic" setting RPGs where it makes sense that the main character wields a sword and not a gun. It's also one of few games where due to how the story is constructed, the "let's defy fate" trope is justified (and subverted). I usually am baffled at this kind of narrative because the characters mostly end up servicing a plot, instead of feeling like the story happens as a result of their actions, but in FFX's case the societal acceptance of Sin and a summoner's pilgrimage has conditioned the world into accepting its fate. This game is brilliant.
It’s 2am and this video is recommended to me..I never thought I would be able to relive the emotions I felt during my first playthrough of this game by watching you. Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't know how many times I will say it. Even to this day I have not find a game that come close to FF10. The story, the characters, the romance, the music.. I wish I could feel all of this with a new game, it's been 22 years and this game is still Number 1 to me
@@YoonchiYa Curious... I haven't played p5 so i don't know, but p4 only made me angry and gave me the cathartic badass feeling, p3 made me cry like a little baby though!!
@@gerardfarresfranch7242 I think I had trouble getting as attached to the P3 characters but the music (Kimi no kioku, memory of the city, etc) did hit really hard. Wait actually I do remember the feels from a couple people and was glad femc route let you keep them alive It's been awhile >< P4 was more from the bad end and Nanako :'( P5 I had a lot of feeling for the traitor (trying to be careful with spoilers) but yeah in general not similar feelings to FFX, but still there I am still trying to find a masterpiece like FFX or something that will make me this emotional Strangely a short anime movie called "Hotarubi no Mori e" makes me ugly cry like this every time actually
his father was stone cold to his son Tidus(even ignoring Tidus as a young child that asked for his mothers' attention, just her attention), Jecht just the way he was, but he did want to help the world in the end of it all. Thank goodness Auron was around to guide Tidus.
Did you see any of Jeckt's spheres? He actually did care for Tidus, just didn't know how to express it. The point where he seemed 'stone-cold' was from Tidus' point of view.
This game has helped me cope with life. I was 10 and at GameStop with my mom and brother, when mom said we could pick 1 game I got excited. While browsing through their selections I came across this game and was fascinated with tidus’s sword. I beat the game by the time I was 12 and since then have played through multiple times. Now 13 years later life has changed so much, but the lessons I’ve learned from this game have stayed the same. Truly an amazing story and musical score.
The ending of this game is among the greatest in video game history. I'm so glad this video was in my recommended, I love to see people experience this game for the first time. Thank you so much for sharing!
@@Muxeroth I personally loved it more than X. It had a better battle system and a great cast and music. The reason people didn't like it when it was released was because they weren't ready for: - A female-only cast - A plot that wasn't 'save the world' - A non-typical Final Fantasy The game had a ton of amazing stuff and is well worth a play. Also, there's a chance for an overall happy ending to BOTH games if you do well enough in the game. If you liked FFX you should want to play FFX-2 for the end of the actual story, even if it is quite different to the first. It's a gem of a game and deserves more love than it got when it first came out. Anyone complaining about it now obviously don't know what they're talking about.
This was the first game that really got me emotionally, back when I was only 13 or so. 15 years later and it can still affect me, especially the songs, like Fleeting Dream. Thanks for putting this together, I forgot so much about the journey and remember mostly the ending, but it was a great ride the whole time.

Because saying “I love you” isn’t a part of the culture, many traditionnal or old couples express their love in other ways. Most of the time, their love is expressed through actions instead of words.
When it comes to saying words of affection, some people might do this by expressing their gratitude to their significant other.
While the wordありがとう(arigatou) means “thanks” and doesn’t translate to “I love you” in any way, it can be said in a way that subtly expresses your feelings.
yes it is
31:25
@@albundy1485 I think "I love you" is better in this case because they never said that to each other. If they did, "thank you" would be better for sure. It's also what everyone would say in that situation too, I think.
The localization people pushed for "I love you" and they accepted it as well.
Yuna: Runs to Tidus arms outstretched, but falls right through him
Everyone: "Oh yeah, it's ugly cry time"
And she didn't actually cry, and I think that it's better this way
For all the quirk and ham in FFX, when it comes to the big emotional punches, lets just say 9999 isn't the limit :P
That gets you in your feels(goosebumpy emotional feeling) and then when she says "I love you"...😭😭😭😭😭 Bc its the only time either of them admits to it all game.

My first time experience to play FFX is when I was high school student.
And now, the 2020(you play 2019) , your reaction is same as mine.
FFX is the best game.
Nothing beats the shock of this game.

Your tears remind me of playing this game for the first time.
I'll never forget you.
Thank you so much.
This is so damn wholesome.

Crisis core ending....
FF7
English translation of FFX is very different to original Japanese, the ending is completely different meaning because terrible translation.
Best love story of the WHOLE franchise. A love without traumas or unnecessary edginess, so pure and yet so mature.
They were best friends above all else. Tidus wanted to help Yuna achieve her goal, no matter the cost. He respected her choice, though it made his heart break. Only when Sin is defeated can Yuna open her heart truly. It's such a wonderful and mature love story of two people who care for one another. Best game story of all time.
It was definitely the best love story for the series. I always said FF7 taught us what loss was and FFX taught us what love is.
9 was good too!
you mean FF8
Nah sorry mate that honor goes to ff8

So many emotional moments throughout this game and one of the great things about it is that the heartwarming moments end up making the heartbreaking and emotional moments that much more impactful when they arrive because you have established a connection to these characters therefore it means that much more when your hit with them, that was what happened for me at least.
In terms of the ending cutscenes, one of the most emotional moments (because theirs a lot lol) for me is when Yuna whistles and this time Tidus doesn't come running to her like they had promised each other earlier that they would do if one of them was in trouble, to see her just whistling over and over when she knows deep down he isn't coming back for her is just...… damn, it's like right in the middle of this emotional cutscene you get punched right in the gut with that part as well.
FFX in my opinion has the most magical first playtrough of the entire series and especially the best ending , the buildup is just perfect
True. The buildups is so good. The plot twist, the reveal of tidus true nature, all leading up to this ending. my fav ff games and one of my fav games right now. I have finished og 7 and as good as 7 is, it doesnt compare to 10 ending. Amazing how some people consider the story as bad/awful. Cringe? I can see where they came from. But awful/bad?? Nahh

Now I realized the last high five with Jecht was so meaningful.
Yuna couldn't physically touch Tidus but Jecht could. So at the momoent, Tidus had already gone to the same world as Jecht...
yup. notice his body was going through her during his hug. when iw as younger i thought it was just some video game clipping. now i realize that it's just because he couldnt actually phisically hold her. meaning, Yuna probably didnt even get to feel his hug.
@@LoadingGears it didn't give it away before the hug when yuna ran straight through him?
The moment Tidus finally stop hating his father
@@LoadingGears actually it wasn't that noticeable on ps2.
Yes. He transitioned to the Farplane where Braska, Auron, and Jecht are now. The background coloring during his decent is awfully close to the Farplane color scheme.
To me the most heart wrenching scene was Yuna still whistling to the sea, never losing hope that Tidus will come running. Such a nice touch seeded so early in the game. Damn those onions...
"This game hurts" should have been a label on the game.
Everything is PAIN!
How the ff games make me feel is indescribable . Any rpg really that puts a great deal of focus into their story.

The moment when Yuna hits the ground never fails to make me bawl no matter how many times I see it.
"I hope Donna steps on a lego!"

Not rly. She knew what becoming a summoner would take, so she was strengthening Yuna and her guardians up in her way.

Not really, she's a bit bitchy but is ultimately supposed to be a good person I think... She has some good redeeming scenes in ffx-2
Also, just doing the pilgrimage is kind of the most selfless and good thing you can do...
This is honestly my favorite game of all time and I'm so glad you were able to experience it. This was the game I, personally, grew up with so I have a lot of fond memories of it. The music and that end scene honestly make me cry every time, and just watching this video brought tears to my eyes. The things I would give to be able to experience this game for the first time again. I'm glad that people are still able to enjoy and appreciate this game and I'm super happy you were able to as well. Thank you for this, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
I love the way they bait and switch us - prepared to lose Yuna at the end of the journey, only to flip it at the last second. I think it helps us cope with the loss. I really appreciate how you repeated "I hate this game". Reminded me a lot of Tidus saying "I hate you," to his "old man".
It comes full circle in all of us I think, even to this day "I hate this game." too xD
I’m really happy to see someone actually crying in this story. Most people said that this game has a complicated story but I think it’s so simple. Watching this actually made me cry to. It is one of my favorite games and I think that you loved this game as well.

This is the best Final Fantasy I've ever played. The game that makes me so emotional, the story, the character and the plot is perfect for me.
Not so many game that i played nowadays really make me feel like I am a part of the story and the world like Final Fantasy X did.
I totally agree. By the time I finished FFX, I felt like I just had saved Spira and had returned to my own world. Never had a game immerse me to such level. I felt like a part of me died when Tidus died, and I still tear up to this day when watching that ending. The music was perfect.
I think its the best Final Fantasy. The story just hits so hard, the world they built (Spira) is the absolute best Final Fantasy world, such rich lore and atmosphere, INCREDIBLE music (like most FF), great characters, epic boss fights, and of course that ending, the best of any Final Fantasy. Its sometimes really hard for me to choose especially with amazing games like FF7 (including Crisis Core and its remake), FF12, FF8, etc. but in the end no game made me feel the way FFX does.
Final Fantasy X is by far the best like you said the story, the character development, the level of immersion and even the freedom of customization that you could potentially make yuna hit over 99,000 points in a single physical attack or that Auron could be the best black mage out of every1. The possibilities are endless and it makes different play through even more enjoyable than the last. FFX is a game created well before its time and even though it was it was thought out and executed to perfection I played it on PS2 and love that they remastered it for PS4 and even steam
You should play neir automata. Do all side missions and play the 'campaign' 3 times. The first 2 are copies from different perspectives, and the 3rd is a continuation to part a/b. Part 3 is called 'route C', it gives endings D/E which E is the final final ending. Completely worth it.
the 7 one is hands down the best tho

Yuna: "do you think i could become high summoner?"
Nyx: "yes you can, of course you can!"
Me: "oh my sweet summer child"
It is sad to think that the titled "High Summoner" were granted posthumously to onerous summoner whom have gone through arduous pilgrimage and to finally give their life and the sacrifices of their closest tied Guardian in order to defeat sin through conventional way. It has been a custom tradition that has been practised for an aeon in Spira thus the notion of becoming high summoner surmounts to the conviction of giving one's life in exchange for the short decade of peace for them citizens of Spira as Yuna says "Don't say it is not worth it" when Tidus attempt to rebuke by questioning the worth of a great perilous jouney to ultimately giving one's life for 10 years of peace. I know the plot is designed in such but truly those post summoner could've figured out that the stupid Final Aeon rites to reset Yu Yevon's construction of sin via Yunalesca is a dumb way.
no literally 😅🥲
@@KiseiruYoshioka Remember that everyone especially the summoners are brainwashed by the religion to become the sacrificial lamb to slaughter. They are all mind controlled to be happy martyrs for everyone's sake. ITs a very hard thing to convince them otherwise. I'm sure Auron and Tidus wasn't the only guardians to convince their summoners otherwise. It took Tidus to come into existence to convince Yuna otherwise. He himself is a dream manifestation of the all the AEONs that were killed endlessly in this loop for thousands of years grew tired of the cycle of sacrifice and death in exchange for temporary hope (peace). It was the AEONs will to break the cycle and it can only be done by convincing the summoner to find another way to kill Sin permanantly.
@@KiseiruYoshioka You are overlooking the fact that the summoners were not brainwashed. Literally no one, not even the highest members of the Order of Yevon, knew of any other way to defeat Sin, permanently or otherwise. If you dig a little into the lore, there were many summoners in the past who DID try other ways to defeat Sin, but failed and died anyway, only without bringing The Calm for their efforts. Quite literally, the only way Yuna and her guardians were able to defeat Sin was because of Tidus' connection to the (barely) human soul of his father. Without that "in", they would never have gotten close enough to Sin with the airship to even attempt to bring it down.
@@nispelsm The plot were designed in a way that only Yuna and her group are capable of defeating Sin with unconventional way. Given that Final Aeon is the only summon capable of penetrating the layer of Sin but what I don't like is how the other summoner just blindly follow the tradition, fact is that Yunalesca hide a certain amount of info to previous summoner and Auron is pretty much they only one question it, honestly Yunalesca never intend for Sin to be gone forever which is why she provide a temporary method for sin to reset and in return she and her family were treated as saviour.

Wow! The level of cuteness of this video is amazing. Watching you experiencing all that emotions reminded me why I love the final fantasy franchise. I went through this game for the first time about 15 years ago with my dad, and we finished it together. I remember how we spent entire nights playing it despite that I had school and my dad had to work the next day. Although I was a young 11 years old little boy we went through all the emotions that you experienced, and that I hope everyone experience with this game, together. Now he is not here with us anymore, but everytime I play this game I remember the old good times, when we used to play together. I had a really hard time writing this with my eyes full of tears but I felt that I had to tell this story to anyone who read this. Thank you for this video and I am glad that I foun you!
FFX doesn’t have to be a masterpiece.
The fact that it can impact a newer generation beyond its time is amazing.
Doesn't have to be but it is

@@signolias100 except for 13...and 15...lol. while 13 had a story I felt like the quality of the storytelling was not up to par with Square's standard work. 15 was more quest and combat based, which makes for exciting gameplay but they suffered when it came to engaging the player in the storyline and getting them invested.

I'm 37 and played the game when it came out about 18 years ago and played again like maybe 8 years ago. The ending is so damn sad. I now just need to see like the last 5 or so minutes of the ending, boom, crying. I can never not cry. *sniff*
Also the song "Suteki da ne" is just concentrated tears and goodness converted into sound.
Walk tall my friend
you can read a book, you can watch a movie....But play a game like this when the story and the characters are soo good i can tell you, its the best experience you can take.
God damn it it's like getting to watch someone experience my childhood, but now with shitposting camera cuts and meme's lmao. Quality.
*When Auron said "I wanted to change the world too but I changed nothing" I really felt that...here I am 19 years later* 😢
But I don't understand because he did change it by returning for Tidus. Without Auron there pretty much wouldn't have been a FFX and Sin would've lived on
@@staticpiece I think at that point his story wasn't finished. I know a lot of people in there 20's and 30's who feel the same way but as long as you wake up the next day, blessed and still breathing then you can change your fate.
Gregorio This was before they defeated Sin permanently. He was talking about his journey with Jecht and Braska. They wanted to stop Sin too, but then they discovered the truth of the cycle and ultimately how futile it all is.
That’s what made Yuna and her guardians decide to find another way. A way to break the cycle.
my favourite FF game.. It's such an emotional experience
"As Yuna was performing her incantations, Tidus's body started shimmering. He looks at Yuna, embarrased that his secret was now been revealed. Yuna shakes her head in disbelief:
"No", she mutters.
"Yuna, I have to go" Tidus, bitterly stating the inevitable.
Disbelief makes way to denial, as Yuna shakes her head once more, like an innocent child would: she was not gonna have it.
Tidus tries to downplay the obvious: "I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand", pitifully, and then starts to walk away.
He makes a brief pause to throw a shy goodbye at everyone, then he resumes his determined departure.
"We're gonna see you again?!?, yells Rikku, unsettled, as Tidus kept walking.
The absence of an answer was crystal clear: they were not going to.
As Yuna watches her lover walk away, still struck in disbelief, unsettlement makes way to anxiety, which then makes way to anguish. Time's up: at the very last moment, her anguish yields to panic.
Yuna runs to Tidus. Her moanings are those of a loving heart desperately crying out for the warmth of reciprocity.
She throws herself into Tidus's arms, but alas only to be met by a ghostly embrace: she passes right through him and fall on the ground.
As Tidus's whisps slips through her delicate fingers, evaporating towards the sky, Yuna's dawning realization can be clearly read onto her face: her lover is already gone.
Broken, but still managing to keep her gracious composture, she painfully proceeds to stand up. Chin high, she looks towards infinity like she was contemplating a future that would never come to be, and on an utterly sincere but resigned tone, she gently mutters one last protest:
"I love you"
Bravo! What an excellent piece of writing!!
Yes, we all saw what happens...
When your bf literally ghosts you
Under rated comment. Bravo
I snorted.
LMFAO
@DeadMemes NeedToStayDead Damn straight! High five! 🖐️
Wtf man😂😂😂
Congratulations on playing one of the most beloved and all time BEST stories ever created in the history of Game Franchises. Final Fantasy X lives not only in eternal RPG legend but also in the hearts of millions around the world.
And everybody with a heart cries at the end.
What was the story about again?
VII*
@@zekehunter2473 7 is overrated
I love this game but seriously...get an xbox 360 and play lost odyssey.....literally one of the best jrpgs ever made and no one knows about it
Me: skips to ending to see the heartbreak
Heartbreak happens
Me: mmmm yes a heartbreak, I remember this
I come back to the ending of this game so often, just to have a good cry. What a marvel in story telling: love, loss, sacrifice... and not afraid of these themes and their commitment to them. It truly can be an experience that will leave one heartbroken, but sometimes the most poignant stories are that way.
Same
I wish I could erase all my memories of Final Fantasy 10 ... I want to play it again for the first time
:))))))
No you neva :)
bruhhhhh same
The next best thing is to watch someone play though it
I would love to do that too
"This game is pain"
yes, yes it is.
No...Anima is pain
@@dickvandergaag3249 Dark Anima
i see you havent played ff7 then xD
@@ScrewFearMe lol yeah those last bosses
@@Duskeroth i for some reason accidentally saved over my friends save in ff7 when i was playing the game at his place...the friend he and i have together helped him fight one of those bosses with just omnislash and without the underwater materia, my friend got kinda pissed off at me for it but i was like huh, how?
When Auron is getting sent, he pauses and taps Kimari on the chest with is hand in what is basically a handshake from one Guardian to another. Its a small thing, but I think its one of the coolest things he does in the game. Not that it wasnt sad enough, but im surprised Yuna whistling at the dock wasnt included because thats definitely where I almost lost it. Nice recap all around!
PerpetualChristopher love that moment too. I see it as a little nod that it was Kimahri who helped Auron honour his promise to Braska when he died. Kimahri protected Yuna ever since. Just because a dying man asked him to. I’m really glad Auron took a moment to acknowledge that as he left.
@@ObviousCleft Word! Plus, Kimahri was with Auron in his last moments of life. It makes sense that he'd acknowledge him in his last moments as an unsent.
I’m surprised the reveal wasn’t included
He was basically "you take care of Yuna now".
It was really touching because nobody cares about Kimari (even de writters, poor Kimari has like...10 lines in the whole game) but here was Auron basically saying "you matter, I trust you"
Nyxi: 29:59 "LOOK I AM NOT CRYING, OK?"
Me: - Lauging like a deranged maniac in anticipation -
I still cry when Yuna says "the dreams that have faded..."
That and her whistling just before T_T
😭
"I'm not crying, no tears have fallen yet!" Yeah no you'll be crying soon enough
when you get to Zanarkand and the music doesnt stop in battles...
they dont even celebrate after battles in zanarkand because of how heavy shit is.
That's was a nice touch Nomura added.
@@akinasgreatest01 Nomura did that?
Nah, Nomura was just character design.
@@HelloKwak hah, no waay, he had to have more to do with the game than that. Right!?
I’m quite an emotionally stunted person and FF10 is one of the few things that’s able to make me cry so whenever I feel down I always come back to this video so I can relive this game with you and see and feel your pain while playing this game I just wish it was easier for me to cry. This game just is so special to me and hope more will enjoy it in the future as well
You bring me back to 2005, the first time I played FFX. So much crying, laughter, tears, rage.
FFX is my most cherished game for these reasons, and it's so neat to see someone new to it experience it for the first time!
You have a new subscriber!
@ERA CASTE fun fact: At level 99 kippa has the high shooting rate in the game at 99
So true, it's the game I always recommend everyone to play especially people who enjoy really well done storytelling and characters you can get invested into. I absolutely love the subtle details of this game.
I saw someone once said in a TH-cam comment or on a forum somewhere, can't remember exactly but they made a great point when they said, "the first time you play through this game, you see the world through the eyes of Tidus. The second time you play through this game, you see it through the eyes of Auron" which I find to be so true.
It's my favourite game because I love just how much thought and effort when into every detail of it, whether it be the writing, the music, the character designs, the world, theirs so much to love and enjoy about it. If I was stuck and could only play 1 game forever, this would be it for me.
@@phoenixreborn6065 That is so true about seeing it through the eyes of Tidus the first time, and through Auron the second! Dammit, I really need to play FFX again; this would be my 9th playthrough!
@@GearheadGeisha Haha theirs not many games out there or things in general to be fair that I'm a fanboy or super fanboy for but FFX is most definitely one of these things, theirs so much to learn and ponder about with this game, this world and all the characters both main characters and side ones that even now, almost 20 years after playing it the first time, every time I find a new cutscene I haven't seen before or learn something new about the game I'm still incredibly excited, it's just one of them games and things for me, I can't get enough of it.
If you would please, "Listen to my story" :P.
I first played FFX in 2002, I was 8 years old at the time and had just gotten a ps2 for Christmas (I believe it was Christmas, may have been earlier) but I remember my mum saying "I know you don't usually play games like this (I was playing wrestling and other sport related games and some adventure games at the time, basically just imagine the kind of games an 8 year old would like to play at that time) so I wasn't really seriously into RPGs and probably didn't even know at the time what RPG and especially JRPG stood for and meant haha) but I thought you might like this" (something along those lines can't remember her exact words).
Now FFX was released in May of 2002 here in Europe (I'm from England by the way) so this was a relatively new game and after a while of not bothering with it, I thought what the heck and put the disk in and sure enough I was a bit lost getting use to the sphere grid, the turn based combat and gameplay in general, following the story, getting use to the characters etc and I got stuck on what I now look back on as some of the easier bosses in the game for instance I remember getting stuck on the first sin boss battle as part of "operation mi'ihen", when I go back now it's not much of a challenge but I remember as an 8 year old sitting there at a friends house at the time trying to figure out how to beat the boss. It got to the point where I have to admit, I had to get the strategy guide because some parts of the game whether it be the puzzles or bosses, i just couldn't work out for the life of me at the time how to beat them lol. I remember being really shook by the cutscene in Luca where Auron reveals the identity of sin and me being in disbelief with my favourite song in the game "Wandering Flame" playing in the background, amazing. So many memories playing this game including both the heartwarming moments and the tearful emotional ones. Just a great great game and the older I get (I'm 25 as of writing this comment) the more I appreciate it and appreciate (and this may sound overdramatic but oh well) how much it has given me and in some ways helped shape me as a person (for instance, now as a hobby I enjoy writing (or rather trying to write haha) fantasy stories and coming up with my own characters and worlds). You know they say sometimes things are meant to be? Well I felt that was the case for me with this game, by sheer chance my mum bought me this game as a present despite the fact she knew I didn't really play those kind of games at the time and now here I am almost 20 years later sharing my story of how I came to appreciate this game. I have no doubt that If I am lucky enough to have children in the future that I will show them and try to persuade them to play this game and hopefully if I'm lucky they will enjoy almost if not as much as I do.
Thanks for reading, take care :).
@@phoenixreborn6065 Forgive me the very late reply but that is so cool that your mom got it for you. Kind of like it was meant to be! I was a late bloomer when I first started this game at 20, nevertheless it was the first story based game I had ever played. Found the game play to be relatively easy, but the story was so enthralling. And it's funny you mention the scene at Luca with Auron giving the big reveal, because I remember that being the moment the first time I played through where I told myself "I must finish this game no matter what." That was only the beginning! So much and more happened, endearing, heartbreaking, heartwarming, and even hilarious events came to follow and by the time I had finished Home, I knew this would be one hell of a ride!
It's funny you mention going down a writing path, as I too began to write in earnest after this game and its sequel. I'm at most a hobbyist writer though.
Anyways, I am about to begin my next Pilgrimage through Spira on Saturday, because the emotional beating I got from Endwalker just wasn't enough, lol.
Challenge: Don't get emotional at the end of this game.
Me: Imposhibibble!
The moonflow when Irma and Lucil was trying to get their chocobo across. I laughed twice before boarding. The first time I laughed was when Auron told Tidus Jecht attacked the shoopuf when he was wasted but at the same I was grateful the shoopuf wasn't seriously hurt from the attack.
Ride ze emmoshnbiblle rollurcosher?
Agreed
IMPOSSIBRU
he is a dream, as long some one dream about him, he can exist. this was the bes ff series plot.
not sure how that works since yuna always dreams and thinks of him hahaha
I have probably watched this video as many times as I have played the game at this point. You are such a treasure to watch. Thank you.
Even after seeing it literally hundreds of times, that ending still gets me. You are correct, "this game is pain!"
I leave it for years then play it again when my conscious has forgotten all the minor things. As close to replaying it for the first time as you can get
I'm a grown ass man but the music alone is enough to make me emotional.
the music made this game i think. especially that intro to sin at the beginning.
someday a dream will end is the best square enix track
Same!
Watch Tidus Fantasy X OST.
Same. Played this as a teen and am now 34... This game is without a shadow of a doubt a masterpiece.
The music, art, good god the story! Every emotion is stoked. Superb.
When I played the game for the first time I was young. I never had a girlfriend at that time... I never felt love of any kind from a woman. I just found the story beautiful and at the end I just felt like "oh it's beautiful".
Now I'm 30... I lived many things and felt love from a woman. I saw the end of the game not so long ago... Didn't see it for a decade. I can tell that I cried out loud... This game changed my life. I just didn't notice the first time I played it.
This game is a master piece... It's simply beautiful
It impacted me much the same and after having felt love just devestates me and everytime I play it I can't help but hope it ends differently
When I first beat this game, I was 10 and I cried like a mofo
"I really don't like Seymour."
It's okay, no one does. We only like his theme.
That Rip of Sephiroth
Big true. His theme slaps
I did, I was fangirling on Seymour the whole game... until Mount Gagazet :').
The whole game, my friend and I were like : "Seymour ? " - Yes mother.
I held back tears at the end of this game when Titus told Yuna he had to go.. and I'm male and 53 years old the first time I finished the game lol. Hey it was sad what can I say.
1000% fine. This is one of the best stories ever told :D
"step on me lulu", we've all been there.
Lulu has feet?
@@littlen8279 She's never seen them herself, but they are there.
In what minute she say that part???
@@kyordannydelvalle523 she says "step on me, Shiva" at 12:11
@@kyordannydelvalle523 I don't think she says it out loud, but it's written at about 1:45 or so, when Lulu is confronting Wakka on Besaid.
The second the Final Aeon twist is revealed, is when this game goes from a dark, but still adventurous journey to the biggest amount of subtext realization I've ever seen. Rarely does a twist completely recontextualize your entire journey quite like that one, and the flashback of Yuna's sphere hammers it home, just how oblivious we all were.
And if that wasn't enough, *it's not even the only one.*
FFX may have the "first installment I played bias" in my mind, and I may not have finished it myself for so long and known its twists ahead of my own final playthrough, but it's still a goddamn masterpiece of a story to me.
What I like about FFX is how the world building is so well thought. It's one of the few "futuristic" setting RPGs where it makes sense that the main character wields a sword and not a gun. It's also one of few games where due to how the story is constructed, the "let's defy fate" trope is justified (and subverted).
I usually am baffled at this kind of narrative because the characters mostly end up servicing a plot, instead of feeling like the story happens as a result of their actions, but in FFX's case the societal acceptance of Sin and a summoner's pilgrimage has conditioned the world into accepting its fate. This game is brilliant.
"Totally not evil and nice guy" that basically wraps up everyone's first opinion of Seymour honestly.
Just look at his hair! He can't be a good guy in Final Fantasy with hair like that haha
Naw I knew he was fucking evil
@@theblackgeno1848 Apologies. This is internet sarcasm. Seymour is creepy af.
@@jasondeutschbein8102 mine was a joke of your joke
It’s 2am and this video is recommended to me..I never thought I would be able to relive the emotions I felt during my first playthrough of this game by watching you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Man the feels watching someone play this for the first time, hearing the music, man it’s all too much
I don't know how many times I will say it.
Even to this day I have not find a game that come close to FF10.
The story, the characters, the romance, the music..
I wish I could feel all of this with a new game, it's been 22 years and this game is still Number 1 to me
If you haven't, try Persona 3, its a similarly heartbreaking game!
@@gerardfarresfranch7242 strangely I didn't feel any emotions from p3 but felt a lot of emotions from p4 and p5
@@YoonchiYa Curious... I haven't played p5 so i don't know, but p4 only made me angry and gave me the cathartic badass feeling, p3 made me cry like a little baby though!!
@@gerardfarresfranch7242 I think I had trouble getting as attached to the P3 characters but the music (Kimi no kioku, memory of the city, etc) did hit really hard.

It's been awhile ><
P4 was more from the bad end and Nanako :'(
P5 I had a lot of feeling for the traitor (trying to be careful with spoilers) but yeah in general not similar feelings to FFX, but still there
I am still trying to find a masterpiece like FFX or something that will make me this emotional
Strangely a short anime movie called "Hotarubi no Mori e" makes me ugly cry like this every time actually
The Last of Us 2 does this for me.
I just remember being really confused when I beat this. Was Tidus a ghost the whole time? 🤣
"You'll cry. You're gonna ... See? You're crying" -Jecht, FFX 2001
Since I pretty much always get close to crying when I watch the whole ending, I do believe this was meant for us players ...
I wish I could heart your comment.
his father was stone cold to his son Tidus(even ignoring Tidus as a young child that asked for his mothers' attention, just her attention), Jecht just the way he was, but he did want to help the world in the end of it all. Thank goodness Auron was around to guide Tidus.
Did you see any of Jeckt's spheres? He actually did care for Tidus, just didn't know how to express it. The point where he seemed 'stone-cold' was from Tidus' point of view.
Played through this for my first time with my dad when i was around 7 or 8, both of started crying and my mam made fun of us
This game has helped me cope with life. I was 10 and at GameStop with my mom and brother, when mom said we could pick 1 game I got excited. While browsing through their selections I came across this game and was fascinated with tidus’s sword. I beat the game by the time I was 12 and since then have played through multiple times. Now 13 years later life has changed so much, but the lessons I’ve learned from this game have stayed the same. Truly an amazing story and musical score.
Best comment. A lot of people feel this way about this game. Myself included
Gregorio thanks brother! I can honestly say that this game has helped me deal with the different stages of life
The ending of this game is among the greatest in video game history. I'm so glad this video was in my recommended, I love to see people experience this game for the first time. Thank you so much for sharing!
I usually remember crying at this game as a teenager and thinking "man what a soppy sorry kid I was"
in tears all over again, jeez :/
It was justified and true
And then, Yuna became a popstar.
Lmaooo
Mharvynn what I can do for you? I can hear you
And after that Sin comeback
Yeah x-2 doesn't exist
@@Muxeroth I personally loved it more than X. It had a better battle system and a great cast and music. The reason people didn't like it when it was released was because they weren't ready for:
- A female-only cast
- A plot that wasn't 'save the world'
- A non-typical Final Fantasy
The game had a ton of amazing stuff and is well worth a play. Also, there's a chance for an overall happy ending to BOTH games if you do well enough in the game. If you liked FFX you should want to play FFX-2 for the end of the actual story, even if it is quite different to the first. It's a gem of a game and deserves more love than it got when it first came out.
Anyone complaining about it now obviously don't know what they're talking about.
This was the first game that really got me emotionally, back when I was only 13 or so. 15 years later and it can still affect me, especially the songs, like Fleeting Dream. Thanks for putting this together, I forgot so much about the journey and remember mostly the ending, but it was a great ride the whole time.
Into Zanarkand music starts playing.
*Cry
I don't cry, but it does give me a strong nostalgia reaction.
I routinely cry to this to vent. Thank you for the shared emotions and a wonderful playthrough.
