When it comes to video games we often speak about things like gameplay, visuals, characters, story and soundtrack. The goal of this series is to talk about the smaller, less obvious things that come together to really elevate your experience of a game. The first of these videos starts of course with my favourite game, Final Fantasy X. It's time to celebrate the little things... Please share your favourite little things in the comments too!

Hey man. What's wrong with Blitz? Lol. Freaking love Blitzball.
Tidus
Linna
Tatts
Wedge
Ropp
If they can even manage to get a shot off and you don't want to wait for Nimrook.
Get Miyu.
When Miyu becomes a crap goalie late - Wedge becomes the second best keeper in the game from what I've seen.
I love Blitz. Mastered beating Luca too.
Once used a GameShark on PS2 everyone had Max stats and celestial weapons. It caused the two ranso to have over 20 million hp
What version is this? I'v played FFX many times over and in what your showing in your video the graphics are so much better
@@midnytemassacre I tried playing blitzball once, but all my shots were . . .
reJECHTed.
My favorite thing: Tidus sniffing Auron in Guadosalam
Love that scene too. I used to wonder if Seymor was speaking to Tidus, but Auron responded. Not sure I believe that now, but it's fun to think of it that way.
@@Nga_Babaye do you mean when he asked, “why are you still here, sir?” He was for sure dropping that he knew Auron was unsent
Welp. That definitely did happen
Here's one little thing I really appreciate:
When you first leave the town in Besaid, you get into a bunch of tutorial battles where they tell you what characters to use on what enemies, and inform you when you're not using the right characters on the enemies. However, the wasps in that area (which they want you to take out with Wakka) are also vulnerable to magic. And Lulu has a unique voice line when she slays one.
"Ah, magic. Sweet, sweet magic."
Nice one, I may not have gotten that line before :)
😮
Yaaaaaas! I definitely will try that on my next play through! Thank you!
Then there's that kid who just want to be a blitzball when he grow up...
In kilika, right?
He wanna be beat like Rihanna
@@hmeadb woah, you need a paramedic there buddy? seems like you cut yourself on all that edge.
That's actually a faithful translation. Kid hasn't figured out his language yet.
Haha that was actually a translation oversight rather than intentional :)
My favorite little thing about FFX is reading through the comment section of this video 2 years later and seeing everyone's favorite little thing about FFX
Nice
one of my favorite little things comes near the beginning of the game, and ties into the brotherhood thing. But I just really like that you can choose whether or not to pray for a safe journey alongside Wakka before leaving the island, especially with that little backstory on how Chappu forgot to pray the day he left, and I don't know, it always made me feel just a little more immersed in the story and the world.
Also on the Spiran script thing, I think one of the most interesting examples is Baaj Temple, where there are barely legible, often misspelled writings scrawled all over the floor and the walls. Deciphering them from Spiran script reveals that they were all written by Seymour many years ago during his childhood in exile there. Most appear to be exercises and practice geared towards learning how to write. It's a neat little detail that again just adds a little more cohesion to the story elements.
holy shit that second one is an incredible detail, what an upsetting reward for noticing that!
Yes! The Zanarkand theme playing through the battles of that section COMPLETELY changed the mood from any other area in the game. It gave me this melancholy "pushing forward" sense, regardless of whatever gets in the way now. It hits me every time I get to that area in the story.
"auron is a badass" um, in kingdomg hearts two he makes fun of hades, TO HIS FACE
"i am the lord of the dead"
"no wonder nobody wants to die..."
I love the background on why Oaka and Wantz want to help Yuna so much. There's the scene in Luca near the sphere theatre where Oaka explains, and it's just so sad, but also getting a little glimpse of why they do what they do: they couldn't save her, but they can do everything they can to help another summoner who looks a bit like her (a little parallel to the Tidus/Chappu resemblance).
I also loved when you're fighting the Aeons on Jecht's sword, if you have a weapon with sensor on it, each Aeon will either say goodbye in some way, or encourage you in the fight. They know how awful it is, and even possessed, they want to help and encourage Yuna especially.
Last thing: once you have the airship, you can revisit the temples and talk to each fayth. Each of their chambers has some goodies, usually attribute spheres, but the coolest thing is they'll appear in their human forms, and give either background, or hints for the future (Should the dreaming end, you too will disappear...fade into Spira's sea, Spira's sky. ... Let us summon a sea in a new dream world. A new sea for you to swim...."
All the feels.
i always speak over seymour when he summons anima with "mummy they're bullying me"
My favourite little thing is how after you first play the game, you realise the meaning behind Auron's gesture towards Sin with his alcohol in the opening cutscene, and you're like, "Oh SHIIITTT".
"Fuck, fuck, Ject is attacking Dream Zanarkind! No, no no! The whole point of his existence is to protect it! Goddammnit, why did I offer him that drink!"
Jecht is Sin, Jecht is a friend, so he's offering him a drink.
Or a simple cheers to an old friend.
Took me like 10 years to figure that was an alcohol 😂
A couple little things I remember enjoying off the top of my head:
- While you're escaping Macalania Temple after defeating Seymour for the first time, I remember seeing O'aka run out of the temple and use the save sphere to teleport out of the area. I always thought that was so cool because it's the only time in the game where someone other than Tidus actually acknowledges the save spheres which really adds a level of immersion to the game. Also it's a hilarious scene. (It happens in real time as you run out of the temple)
- Continuing on the theme of choices you can make through dialogue options in the game, there's one right before the start of operation Mi'hen where Gatta complains about having to serve guard duty instead of being in the front lines. You have the option of telling him he should just follow orders, or agree that he should be able to fight. If you choose the latter, Gatta actually ends up dying and you see a cutscene of luzzu freaking out in grief at djose temple. The other option is vice versa where luzzu dies and gatta has a similar scene at the temple. It's an extremely dark cause and effect and adds a lot more weight the tragedy that was Operation Mi'hen.
There's plenty others, these are just two that come to mind for me.
The first one about Oaka is brilliant, great choice!
Gabriel Fernandez O'aka isn't the only one! when you enter the Zanarkand cloister of trials there is a scene with Braska & co where you can see Braska using the sphere too. :)
When you first reach Zanarkand Braska interacts with the save sphere too before going into the cloister of trials.
@Dawnne @Notsam
I never noticed that one! lol that's awesome!
Gabriel Fernandez Yeah I was thinking that in my head we just fucking killed well influence gatta. We influence him to do it. Lol but then luzzu influence wakka's brother. Welp
Regarding the affection. The character that throws the ball during Tidus' final overdrive also changes depending on that affection factor.
Georgee The GeNeSiS
That might explain why sometimes Lulu would throw it to me and sometimes it would be Yuna.
I was indeed surprised that he mentioned the various influence it would have on your cutscenes bt totally missed out it would also affect who throws you the ball during that overdrive xD
its right and false xD because only the girls can throw the blitzball. That fact I find not so cool, I want Auron, Kimahri etc can throw it, too
foxbear60 You can also get Rikku to throw the ball
That persistence of "Someday the Dream Will End" when you reach Zanarkand was definitely a stroke of genius.
It really drives home the prevailing sadness that the characters feel while traveling through the ruins. While they fight, they are still thinking about what reaching the final aeon means. Before, they would concentrate on the battles, so the battle music would play. Now, however, "the end" is looming in their minds, so the sad music continues to play.
Removing the battle fanfare also.. No celebration, that looming horizon just drives the story home so much harder. Fantastic decisions
i always think of chrono trigger when someone mentions music overriding battles, personally.
One small thing, that I always seems to enjoy.
"Sin always comes for his spawn."
ShinyUmbreon
Jecht and Tidus :)
Oooohhhhh S H I I E T
I-I... oh... that's awesome
Can someone explain it please?
@@xmarindraco1815 Commonly this line quoted by some of the game's characters means that Sin always returns to the places where he left his "minions": either fiends or those scales that pop up and attack. See Operation Mi'hen where the crusaders try to take advantage of that phenomenon. But since Sin is Jekkt and he seems to particulary follow Tidus on several occasions this is true on a more literal level unbeknownst to the characters in the game, as Tidus is Jekkt's offspring or "spawn" if you will.
also when talking about the script on the walls in the besaid cloister of trials. Notice how where sin is written, is the same wall you blow up with the destruction sphere :)
Omg your right. O_o
I thought the outcome at Djose regarding interaction with Luzzu and Gatta was really interesting. Also, the possibility of Seymour's mother's portrait on Anima's pendant. I find the entire creation and concept of Anima hauntingly brilliant.
incredible vid! Love seeing FF vids on here!!
one of my favorite little things in this game is when yuna is sending auron, he only says one personal goodbye, rather than just the general goodbyes he's giving to tidus/everyone. as he passes kimahri, he reaches up and baps him on the chest. it's such a small moment but i really loved it, it spoke to a kind of affection and camaraderie that we didn't really see much of between them throughout the journey, and made me really wish we had gotten more of it.
but, as they reminded us frequently, it was tidus and yuna's story.
royaltimes I agree. Makes it more powerful when you realize that Auron entrusted Kimahri with Yuna before he died
I think it's all too appropriate for it to be super silent and in the background. Neither of them would be the type to voice their feelings, even those of respect and admiration, aloud very often. It's silently understood between them, and the player gets just a few, humanizing glimpses of it. 👌
Well, it was Kimahri who found Auron crawling down from Mt. G after taking a fatal hit from Yunalesca; and then took Yuna under his "wings" as his death wish.
This game came out what, 16 years ago? And we're still talking about it today. Final Fantasy X really is a game that never dies, endless discussions could be made about it. Thank you dansg08 for making these videos for years and creating this amazing community.
I read the first few words of this comment and was fully expecting the rest to be something along the lines of "and people are still making stupid videos about it? Seriously isn't it time to give this damn game a rest?!" but was pleasantly surprised, so thanks :P
Honestly it’s the dream that never ends
"Honestly it’s the dream that never ends"
Which... Was literally the plot for Tidus in Final Fantasy X in a nutshell.
And now everyone can play this Masterpiece From Ps4 to Switch and XboxOne on 2019
It has 99999 HP, powerful healing spells and Auto-Life and all the useful stats maxed out
A bit cliché but the opening fmv blew my mind the first time of watching it. The quality of the graphics and the scene where Auron is casually walking down the street while everything is being attracted to Sin just established his badassery right from the start.
Also how the sanctuary keeper reacts to your buffs made that an awesome boss battle.
Loving your FFX videos as always :)
The pacing of that opening FMV with the music is just so effective. It's incredible. Completely blew my gourd when I first played as a kid - I thought I was in one kind of game world and then suddenly it was another. So fitting.
It pissed me off cuz how can tidus tackle a dude so hard he flies out of the sphere pool but they give him 4 ATK in blitzball?!!? Lol
My single favourite moment from FFX is when Lulu says "living with you is never dull" and proceeds to just jump off the fucking airship like a lunatic.
Oh. My. God. This just solidifies how deep of a game this is. This world is endless with every playthrough and video from you. I am so happy.
FFX have one of the most beautiful escenes of all times for me, how Yuna runs after Tidus when he said that he has to go. It breaks my heart everytime, but what makes this game a masterpiece for me is that even its a fantasy game, touchs topics like: The existence, how Tidus faces the fact that at the end, he will vanish, same as we all have to do. The religions: How they use people's fear and sadness to manipulate the information, The death: Spira, a spiral of sorrow and death, if u change the word spira for earth, still makes sence, and trust me, when you are 15 years old, that grew up without the love of your father, that is giving his first steps in romance and that ask yourself all kind of question, this game will simply support you like none other.
Dude, I feel this man. My high school sweetheart loved this game as well. I was 15 she was 16. I will always cherish the day at school when I was sad and she wanted to cheer me up so we reenacted the laughing scene with tidus and yuna laughing scene
FFX was my first FF game and i still personally class it as the best FF of the series of the games.
7 was my first. 10 was my second. I've only played 4 in the series; 7, 10, 15, and 6. Damn I love them all though, 10 definitely has my favorite battle system between the 3 turn based games i've played. Story was probably the most meaningful, some of the best characters, beautiful soundtrack. Hard to say which is truly my favorite, I gotta say 7 is still my favorite for a few biased reason like the "First FF effect". Still has my favorite story though, best soundtrack by far. While the others I think do have great ones too.
not even in the top 10
@@TheBrutalSax how can you skip 8 which is the best of the series.
*Bryan Howell* I played a lot more now. Got 10 cause it was on PS4, and pretty cheap. But I went back and played a lot more such as 8, 9, 4, 12, and Tactics. Don't plan on stopping there, but my backlog is huge.
BrutalSax play 13 then
Neat things for me:
When you play as Seymour you can actually trigger an overdrive, so that’s pretty awesome.
You can return to the area you originally start the game at after your first interaction with Sin and defeat the boss you ran away from. Your reward is the Onion Knight weapon and the summon Anima.
The dialogue options in certain battles.
When the game splits up your party (Bikanel Island and Vía Infinito) where you have to find them and adapt your play style with whatever party members you find first.
Scouting Blitzball players that do NOT seem to be good but are actually nasty af.
Trying to overcome the monster arena.
My favorite touch in the game is the unique interactiona Yuna has with each Aeon when she summons them. Ifrit catches her, Yuna grabs Shiva's cloth, etc. The one I like the most is the look of horror on Yuna's face when summoning Anima though, it just says so much.
Where I am going with this is that the other summoners in the game lack any interaction at all when it shows them summoning. They just stand there perfectly still while the animation plays. Seymour at Luca is an execption to this since that's an FMV.
I really wish they had taken the to time to make individual interactions for all the other summoners as well in the few times we see them summon. To see Seymour gestering as as Anima rises up, Issamu giving Ixion a pat on his side, or even Lady Ginnem (Lulu's previous summoner) tossing Gil to Yojimbo.
neliobelmont I always thought of it as Yuna having a connection to the Aeons that no other summoner had.
there were more things that I didn't know in this one than the actual "20 things you didn't know about FFX" video haha
SAME!
Same
The affection part actually affects who will throw the blitz ball as well for Tidus's ultimate!
I recently did a run where Kimahris str mag and agi were maxed by the time i got to the fight with Biran and Yenke (used the item command in steam ver). Was not prepared for them to have 3.5m hp and 2.6m hp respectively.
Ludvig Helmerson literally same thing happened to me
I did a replay on the pc hd version recently, and I had all Kimahris stats at 255 using the cheats and yeah it was insane the amount of hp they had.
Can the Sensor display on their million HP fit all of that? I've seen a hacked Sensor on Penance's twelve million HP & it overlapped.
@@ColeMeCrazy I can't remember if it was sensor display or scan
Aurons goodbye hit my soul. And Jetch's thunder plains sphere was my most enjoyed moment in the game
A little thing I loved is a thing that evolved into a pretty important thing, only I didnt now at first when I noticed. So, Final Fantasy 9 was my first FF and I loved it to pieces. There were so many funny scenes and funny dialog, the whole atmosphere was totally different compared to FF10. When you reach Spira for the first time, you are completley alone, there is only water and ruins. I felt so lost and I wondered if this really could be another Final Fantasy game. The whole atmosphere builds on these first moments in Spira. I had goosebumps everywhere and I think its wonderful that two games from the same merchandise can feel so totally different in so many ways and still both be great games that give you much to think about.
Second little thing would be the start of battles. I drank orangejuice when my first battle started and the breaking noise scared the crap out of me. I spat the juice everywhere. After that I had to laugh really hard so everytime a battle started I had a little grin on my face, remembering the first one :)
9 was my favorite too
I remember never being able to get the Sun Sigil, so instead I just farmed the items to customize a sword to re-create it. The name it got: Excalibur. The skin: the same as Brotherhood.
The best part about FFX for me is the song Sutaki Da Ne.
I feel like, for me personally, the most special thing about Brotherhood was that Wakka gifted it to Tidus because he knew he could trust him and already started growing a strong bond with Tidus. idk. It just speaks a lot of volume to me that so early on in our story he was so adamant on entrusting Tidus with something of such strong sentimental value. Part of me feels that Wakka considered Tidus his brother and that interpretation of their relationship ngl makes me emotional. I always think about that sequence, honestly. It's powerful.
It's very rare I find something new about a Final Fantasy that I did not know before, thank you!
Oh man, you made me feel like replaying FFX. I definitely never made the conscious acknowledgement of the music continuing to play during fight scenes in Zanarkand Ruins, but I'd say it definitely made that last trip much more emotional.
It's kinda sad that I'll probably never like a game as much as I loved FFX :(
Heheh, once I've learned the affection system, I went all in for Rikku
i still cant stop finding the "hornless hornless" gets punched in the face.. scenes very funny :D
What I, generally, love about Final Fantasy games is that they all seem connected somehow. For example the similar summons through the entire series (Shiva, Ifrit, Ramuh, Bahamut), similar monsters (cactuars, flans, coeurls, Iron giants, goblins), weapons (Masamune, Murasame, Ultima Sword) and names of characters or places.
Also love how Cid, Biggs and Wedge make their own little appearance in (almost) every game (although sometimes their appearance is obviously quite relevant for the story).
It's these things that make me smile all the time and that I appreciate the most. :)
Ally Panda i always associate al bhed cid with cid highwind for some reason, i was always expecting him to go off on one and swear the place down :P
It's actually been confirmed that FFX is a prequel to FFVII. Shinra from FFX-2 was studying extracting life energy from Spira. Years into the future, when Spirans eventually developed methods for space travel, they came to the planet of FFVII and supposedly implemented Shinra's ideas there, which led to the Shinra corporation and Mako extraction.
An FFX video from dansgo8 is always a treat! Keep up the awesome content!
His Final Fantasy XV Movie is awesome too! Not sure If you have seen that one yet. :D
Wow I especially like the part about fighting the last battle on Jecht's sword, I never noticed that.
My favorite "little thing" about FFX has to be the difference in music in the BFA fight. The games music is almost all instrumental, melodic and ambient, then they hit you with some metal and electric guitar solos for the last fight. It's way too epic for, especially considering all the meaning behind that fight. Just so awesome
Not to mention that the theme is Otherworld, which plays during the opening FMV. This means that one of the first themes you hear is also one of the last.
Also ALSO, the last battle with Seymour - that music is awesome and kinda reminiscent of retro anime-style battle music mixed. I remember being really pumped during that battle my first play through.
When i saw Auron appear in the video i thought you were just going to say 'Auron' and then go on to the next bit, because lets face it, that would be enough said in itself :P
Just the way that guy is introduced alone....all hell breaks loose; big baddy crashes through the stand and looks menacingly at Auron...Auron shrugs and you get that fighting scene. First time I was like "oh shit...mini-boss to introduce auron..." *cracks knuckles*..... and then attack, Overkill, done and he simply walks on like the boss he is. I thought that made him BAMF enough as it were but then you find out his background story and man...no words...just; no words.
Auron is NOT a little thing ;)
YOU also see a child wanting and yelling at you over blitzball on the mihen highroad as well
ezcyberpup your talking about when tidus kicks his blitzball
yes
Yep, that's one other situation, but we don't even see him playing/practicing. Pretty sure the only time someone who isn't a player is actually playing or training is the Kilika fmv for about 3 seconds :) In any case, my point is that I would have liked to see more of it.
There is that kid in Kilika that REALLY wants to be a blitzball when he grows up. Not exactly the same as being a blitzball player but still it's nice to have goals
Wasn't there also an FMV where some kids were playing with a blitzball and then Sin came along and destroyed the place and then we just see the blitzball bobbing up and down in the water?
I never knew ffx had an affection system. My favorite character was Lulu from the start, and I ended up getting all of her affection conversations without even knowing it lmao. Freaky.
I thought it was common knowledge. Then again I did play the game several times so I noticed the different scenes at certain points.
Now this was a treat to wake up to! Awesome job on this! :)
I think the main little thing that stood out for me when playing this game, was the very subtle smile on Kimahri's face after the Tidus/Yuna scene in Macalania, and especially in the original edition. (In the remaster it was much more prominent (in lack of a better word) and that kind of "ruined" it for me a little bit.) But that tiny smile on Kimahri's face, always puts a big smile on my face. :)
Your list hits home to many little tidbits I liked as well and even showed me some I never even knew or heard of such as the alphabet being true even on the cafe menu. One of my favorite tidbits is when you obtain the rusty sword and you return it back to its rightful place. Back in the days, I had no idea what to do with the rusty sword. After wandering around old areas, I was surprised to find out at Mushroom Rock Road that you return it back to the statue and I thought it was rather cool and strange that the sword traveled so far away from the statue.
Another one was Blitzball in which you can recruit members and let go of members. I remember the Al Bhed Psyches letting go on of their own players and I immediately signed him up on the team. I really liked how they let you do that instead of using only the default players. And when I won against the Psyches with one of their old players on the team, it made me imagine him being smug and saying that they regretted letting him go.
The snow mobile ride reminds me of the gold saucer date in FF7, how you can get different people. Like it took me ages til I realised you could get a date with Barrett in FF7
Speaking of little things, I really liked that you added the entire last scene with clasko on the ship as I had never seen it before, keep up the good work!
ffx is underrated when it comes to "secret"cutscenes that happen based on your level of affection or choices made.
Meanwhile ffx-2 is a clusterfuck with so many cutscenes depending on your choices and optional quest you did (even the order you did them) to the point where you need a guide to follow the perfect sequence of events.
The music in Zanarkand Ruins was definitely a very enjoyable experience.
The one from the temples especially the one with the temple names is something I did not know. In fact, I think that was pretty interesting. They are spoiling you something, and you are not even aware.
I sure miss the game. It's been almost 11 years since I first played and beat it.
Always a treat to see a FFX video from you! This whole game was glorious and I learned things I never realized in this video. Thank you for the always awesome content!!
Got stuck on the "turn you into zombie" Seymour fight on the mountain back in.. 2008(?). Never completed the game but I still love it and have fond memories of playing it with my sister. That's my "little" thing. :)
i had the same issue but replaid it last year ... its still playable so awesome nowadays
I hope you've finished since writing this comment
One time my best friend and I was playing FF8 at the same time on 2 different at the same time. That was pretty epic
Yesss I always look forward for some dansg08 FFX videos!
When you fight chocobo eater you can walk to edge of cliff and get good camera angle of sea
Fun fact about Anima. I do think that he/she is based off a psychological concept of Jung Anima and Animus :)
Hey Dansg08! Awesome video mate! 4:44 I never new about this! That's awesome that even after so many years I can learn something new about Final Fantasy X. You really are Mr. Final Fantasy X to me, I salute you good sir!
11:34 This one of the best things I love about you an your Playthroughs/Walkthroughs and as I tweeted you recently, this is something that I feel has rubbed off on me to, and has helped me appreciate games in other ways. I look forward to seeing more of the series!
Really enjoyed this video - looking forward to the rest of the series
I'm sad you didn't mention luzzu/gatta death in the dialogue choices. My 1 little thing I don't think anyone else mentioned, I noticed something when my girlfriend recently played that I missed during all of my playthroughs. When you're fighting your aeons in the end game, the sensor text that's displayed. Specifcally Sandy's “don't cry“and Anima's "thus I atone". That and yunas face after each defeated aeon hit me, I immediately felt yunas pain and knowing what was to come after the fight with Yevon it just makes her story so much more tragic and deep. Probably the simplest of things to list, but it went volumes for me.
Valefor: "Strike me down."
Ifrit: "Extinguish me."
Ixion: "End it here."
Shiva: "Please... defeat me."
Bahamut: "Soon... eternal rest."
Yojimbo: "Take my life."
Anima: "Thus I atone."
Cindy: "Stop the suffering."
Sandy: "Don't cry."
Mindy: "Gotta say goodbye."
awww that's so cute about Clasko! I knew he became a big time breeder in the sequel but i never knew you could find him working as a breeder in ffx!
I just started replaying this game (which is by far my favorite final fantasy game). This video was perfect for me!
- Wantz. A guy that most people won't actually "know" during their first playthrough because, well, he's just "the creepy guy in blue" for the first half (mostly in the background after a few scenes) and, if you don't talk to O'Aka and learn about his brother, he's the surprise merchant at Gagazet of all things.^^ But there is a surprising amount of background about the three of them brothers/sister if you search a bit to trigger their cutscenes.
- The ironic defeat of the Al Bhed Psyches against the Aurochs. Some people who did a bit of Blitzball know that their goalkeeper is a monster, from the get go, and is the best at end-level. But when asking how the Aurochs could even score against the Psyches, one would rewatch the scenes and notice that it's not Loumnik (said monster) letting the ball through. Maybe it's simply a coincidence, as there is no mention of Loumnik being ill, harmed, recently contracted. But it's not his model in the goal, which is still a bit specific.^^
- Tidus' line when going back to Baaj. When asked why we're all coming in this gloomy place wasting our time, Tidus is just like "I'm petty and I want revenge.". It's not his words, but in a nutshell...^^
kangourouuu1 do you mean nimrook?
Totally. But since I play in French, he's called Loumnik in my version for some reason. And since it sounds as "out-of-this-world" as any Al-Bhed name for me, I didn't question it for a sec' before writing my comment.^^
Great video!! I thought I knew everything about this game but you got me with the writing in the besaid temple and the blitzball fan :D:D
I also agree that the decision to let Someday The Dream Will End take priority over the regular battle music was fantastic.
An amazing video! I noticed almost all of these things and love this game so much.
I once rode with auron in the snow mobile scene and never thought anything of it! :D of course I noticed how many different combinations they were, having played this game since I was 4 years old! (11 years now :D) a great video I'm so glad there are still FFX lovers out there! Keep it up :)
Your content always brightens up my day. Good stuff dansg08 :D
(Also that Blitzball fan thing.. I HAD NO IDEA! I've played this game inside out and backwards and never have I seen that!)
It's been forever since I've heard from you! I can't watch some of your current content because spoilers:( This was fun, though:)
My first time was with Rikku.
One little thing I like was the whole ordeal with the Blitzball tournament in the story. Tidus has to deal with and overcome his issues with his father in order to learn the Jecht Shot. This unique technique is so pivotal against the Luca Goers, and I like having the scene after the underdogs win. Makes the story better, IMO.
Another little thing is the situation with Wantz and O'aka XXIII. You HAVE to talk to Wantz on Gagazet in order to get the four free slot equipment. It makes sense, because Wantz wouldn't know what the party would look like. He was just following his older brother's instructions, but depending on one's playthrough, he never gets to meet you guys.
Again, these little, subtle options make the story great.
I loved the storyteller giving you bits and pieces of spiras history, making things clearer! That gave alot to me :)
One of my favorite little additions was that the characters' armor would be displayed on them in battle. It was a nice little addition that increased the immersion.
One of the small things I liked about Anima is the animation during her Pain attack. I can actually feel her in pain while she's using it.
A little bit i discovered on my own is the epic song that plays during Braskas Final Aeon fight called Otherworld, if you read the lyrics, they actually tell the story of Tidus. Ill quickly decipher a few good lines :
1. The other world is the "real" (not dream) world and Tidus is going to travel to it.
2. Dont give up on the otherworld because they need Tidus
3. Tidus will defy Yu Yevon (the had that feeds/creates him)
Here are the lyrics:
Go now, if you want it
An otherworld awaits you
Don't you give up on it
You bite the hand that feeds you
All alone, cold fields you wander
Memories of it cloud your sight
Fills your dreams, disturbs your slumber
Lost your way, a fallen knight
Hold now; aim is steady
An otherworld awaits you
One thousand years you ready?
The otherworld it takes you
Go, go into the sand and the dust and the sky
Go now no better plan than to do or to die
Free me, pray to the faith in the face of the light
Feed me, fill me with sin
Now get ready to fight
You know you will
You know you will
You know you know you know you know that you will
You know…
I've actually only ever seen the Auron snowmobile ride. That's kind of cool, I never noticed that the game tailored cutscenes to the characters you use most.
Very enjoyable video 10/10. Somethings I knew, majority I didn't. Very well put together, please continue this trend and create more content, this is gold. Thank you.
By far the best thing about final fantasy x is how much you relate to tidus. You and him are so in the dark about literally everything so you learn with him and it just makes the whole journey and it’s climax so much more impactful
You can feel your passion for the game and the story in every video. Keep it up!! I had not noticed that this video is so fresh.
Hell yes, an AuronLu shoutout! I love her, her writings are so in depth. This video is so amazing, dude.
As soon as I hear the music start, it takes me back to the first time I played the game. Always will be one of my favorites.
this is a great kind of video!!! Really! I'd love to see more "10 little things about ..." videos about other games :D
Great piece!! Absolutely enjoyed this!
Wow nice vid. I wasnt expecting to learn anything new but I did ^_^. The whole snowmobile thing really surprised me.
I've played this damn game too many times back then, only just got around to finally playing the remastered version until the end. FFX will always hit you in the feels even if you know whats going to happen to the characters
First time viewing your video, and I love the content. I look forward to watching more!
For me, it's every scene where you get to talk to Bahamut's fayth. He's basically the 'exposition vehicle' for FFX, but it flows so naturally as he explains thing to the characters as he's explaining them to you. I love his design, both as a fayth and an Aeon. I love his personality, his voice, everything. Just an amazing little NPC.
Thanks to this video I'm getting the most of my playthrough of the remaster. I've played the original but as my technology improved so did the game. You have earned yourself a new subscriber keep up the great work.
Probably my favorite thing is the things you still discover over a decade later. If you get to the thunder plains in the story and immediately turn around and go back to Guadosalam (I think the Farplane?) then you get ANOTHER scene with Clasko. Just really incredible world building and there’s so many little things
Of course you were gonna start off a new series with FFX! :P Already loving this, keep it up, really entertaining and informative, since most of these are completely missed even with multiple playthroughs! (I've done more than 10 of X over the years, can't help it! lol)
Very Nice! I learned a couple of new things about my favorite Final Fantasy game! Thank You!
I break this game out every 12 to 24 months and play it all over again. Over the last two days I've been binging the channel because I forgot how much I love this game. You mentioned in one of your vids the Time travel/dream mix up with another long time fan and I thought "How could you miss that?" I then noticed there were about 20 other small things I did miss. So glad this channel is around...
The best part on Gagazet is when Kelk acknowledges Yuna. "I don't think Yevon will make me a statue." "Then Ronso will - with grand horn on head!"
You know, 'cause she's a summoner. Real nice nod.
Great video dude!
glad to see ffx videos again, keep it up!
loved it and subscribed =] I would have to say the music and the atmosphere of the game hit me hard and i loved it. Even to this day whenever i need a pick me up i will listen to some of the soundtrack and be taken to a far away world where beauty and darkness came together to make something special. I will forever remember! thanks for the trip down memory lane
Side note the remastered version looks awesome i will need to pick that up!
I love your FFX videos, keep the content coming.. they never fail to entertain me as FFX is my favourite game growning up and still is to this day and you still are able to teach me things i havnt yet seen in the game whether it be very small or big to the story or not... cant wait to see more videos
I like what you've compiled here. I witnessed and performed all the things in here that you've mentioned EXCEPT about the texts in-game. I see that some of the letters look like alphabets where at some points it is hard to decipher. I too am also a sucker for beautiful views and I remember that sweet spot where you see current Zanarkand. Beautiful. As is this compilation. Thank you kindly for this. You should've added the one with Tidus performing the Jecht shot and also symbolically getting over the insecurities his old man had done on him. Good day. =)
thank you for making this video. makes me appreciate more of the game :)
Theres so much love in this game... such a masterpiece of story creation i think ir will remain forever in my mind.
one of my fav moments was when tidus and gang were leaving the far plane, after sending jyscal and you get a dialogue option, if you spent too long thinking the option goes away and tidus just kept quiet, or you get the option to make him look like a complete fool.
I love the music in this game! The zanarkand theme playing at the start of the game, Suteki Da ne and the relationships the character have.
Interesting as well, the Brotherhood weapon design is also used for Excalibur, a custom made weapon with Break Damage Limit. Looks so much better than Caladbolg (even if it doesn't have the hidden celestial weapon trait)
The fact that the symbol on Jechts chest and Tidus' trousers is just a mixture of the letters "J" and "T". Didn't notice that until recently
Never knew about that clasko scene , thank you will go find it :)
The zanarkand track running thru the battle really was an amazing thing they did
