Goddamn, the original looks so, so much better. I should've done a whole cutscene marathon right after I finished the game. Also, Auron looks like Hugh Jackman.

you do realise people will see this video without being at the point in the game where they should know that right its not hard to just keep huge spoilers out of the title 💀

Bro spoilers

Love this game

.

timeless

Here I was thinking he was talking about himself He did have quite the ego during ARR after all

Alisaie can now summon the minion Bacon Bits.

I remember playing this game when I was a bit younger than Tidus, and now I'm closer to Auron's age and totally get his cynicism. lol

"Reminds me of my childhood" Alphinaud you're still a child 😂

And thats why I love Alphinaud

The black reaper tonberry is a "grotesque parody of reality" and scares the crap out of me.

Aurons voice is special and calming

Mad props to Square Enix for always creating such interesting worlds, stories and characters in these games.

[SPOILERS] when I first saw this cutscene, the amount of rage that was pent up inside of me made me want to see the most HORRIBLE things ever to that lizard, things that even Kefka Palazzo would probably be in utter shock, but after I learned of the horrible backstory of blessed siblings, all of that rage disappeared, and he Is probably one of my favorite parts of dawntraill 🤣😁

Prepare the potato launcher! We go to war!!!

Well... if she moans that way all the time in the english dubs, I kinda understand why people hate her so much ^^

And we never ever had tacos after that… ☹️

And this is why Bakooljaja's Babygirl is wrong :p

ME TACOS!?

The "John Wick's dog" moment of Dawntrail

"Guess we're eating lizard tonight"~WOL, probably.

3:33 I GOT SO FUCKING STUCK TRYING TO FIND THIS ASSHOLE!!!! The map didn't have the red circle that yours has too. Probably because I talked to the guy before him around the sameish area.

Probably the BEST or Among the best Characters in ALL games & Stories ever made. Such Sacrifice , compromise, will, patience, LoVe for TRUE Friends and much more. If this man was REAL, he would be the Closest you could find for a Perfect man, a REAL man in all sense, to the very end.

I was not expecting that voice to come out of that body.

Good times.

Auron comforting Tidus is actually very wholesome

This is still one of the better ff games

Becoming a MAN

i come back and rewatch this scene so frequently, something about the way both jote and frans lines are delivered sticks with me, especially “ivalice is for the humes. the wood alone is for us.” i love that that one line is a perfect condensation of the “traditional” viera mindset. they view the wood and viera is pretty much inseparable, and to leave the wood behind is to literally no longer be a viera hence frans “i am no longer of you./i as of them now, am i not?” which i also think about constantly. I frequently wonder what was it that made fran leave the wood and her sisters behind when she clearly misses them greatly. Especially since if you have fran as your party lead one of the viera npcs in the game explicitly asks her what her leave, but i also like that its not even hinted at. Fran is a very private/reserved person and i doubt she’d willingly talk about such things, especially with non viera who may not fully understand the gravity of the decision she made, or with non outcast viera who would probably just be dismissive. I also wonder a lot why the viera hold such severe rules about isolation even with the green word, even the garif in the same game have much more lax societal rules than the viera despite also being withdrawn from the main populaces of ivalice. Even though ffxiv’s viera lore isnt identical to ffxii’s, the game has some of the same writers and mentions that past attempts to subjugate the viera and bring them under outside rule all failed, so i cant help but wonder if past colonization/subjugation attempts from hume armies made their views on the outside world so strict. Anyways a lot of blathering and speculation from me, i just really love this game and the viera especially

This scene still makes me weep. “Legendary guardian? I was just a boy.” Those words stayed with me.

Tidus:😢 Auron:😆

2:08 is what you’re looking for

For the first game with actual voices. playing ff7 to this is magical tidus is such a relatable character and i love this games dialogue and characters

Wow, Auron looks even older and beat to hell in the original here

# Archade

Who is more badass: Auron Barret Steiner

Oh gosh is Auron so attractive T.T

this game is such a beautiful piece of art🥲😭😭😭😭😭

I love how Auron throws such a bomb of information so soon in the story and Tidus just needs to deal with it. Making him mature through, questioning everything and not just knowing it until the end like most cliche storys.

Just started a new character got all the way to Stormblood only to call it quits. The writing is horrendous. In a month or two in the game I haven’t made a single friend. It’s like playing a single player MMO.

A bit late to the party, but big thanks for uploading these VP videos. Never had the change to play it, but what a great game. Story, characters, music. Everything is on top. True underrated AAA game !

Wow i never knew the faces were this much better inthe original

And then she died forever. The End.

I’ve never understood why this game is seen in the same echelon as FF7. It’s not even close.

This game changed my life. It is more than just a game. Its a wonderful and deep adventure. I hope more games can be close to this masterpiece

"Wow, Alphinaud seems a bit touchy today, doesn't she?" - Estinien Varlineau, 1540-1572, Sixth Astral Era

Kinda sad we didn't get to see more of Alphinaud after that. He was a nice character.

This is the kind of reveal that wouldn't be shown in most stories until like 80% of the way through. The fact we see this scene not even 10 hours in just how crazy the narrative eventually becomes.

Pretty brave talking like that to a Red Mage, boy.
