FFX HD: Tidus meets Jecht

One of the memorable scenes in the game.

[@DBarns7]

Jecht: "I'm sorry." Tidus: "That's enough! Let's finish this, okay?" This part got me. He spent most of his life hating his father, now he finally meets him, and realized he wasn't such a bad guy. He stopped his father's sentimental talk, because he was afraid he would lose his will to do what needed to be done. To destroy his father before Sin claimed him completely. One of the most emotionally charged scenes in the game.

[@pezosdrare3291]

not to loose his will, he has no choice and knows it. He would just cry and didn't want to XD

[@theradiantdadmaster5463]

The way Jecht says "You've really grown" is done perfectly. He wants to say something nice, compliment his son, but he's no good at that kind of stuff. All he can say is that Tidus has really grown, but the way he says it gives it weight, like behind those 3 simple words he's also saying he's happy to see the man Tidus has become

[@PalaceMidasMusic]

such a feeling of weariness and sorrow in the music with the voices, it's amazing stuff

[@psychee1]

Yeah, I love how awkward Jecht is at the father stuff. He misses Tidus. Seeing him again has been his motivation along the journey. He's been looking forward to seeing him for who knows how long and what comes out of his mouth? "Hah, You got tall but you're all bones. You eating right, boy?". Then he immediately corrects himself and says "... you've really grown."

[@DarkLord-7]

Yeah, I always loved that out of the two parents Tidus had, Jecht was the one who always thought of Tidus while Tidus's mother neglected him, especially after Jecht disappeared.

[@Impalingthorn]

Coincidentally, Tidus has a moment of his own like this. One of my favorite tropes: Physical acting and tone telling a different story than what is literally said. Tidus says "I hate you". But it's like James from Silent Hill 2 telling Mary in the Leave Ending that he hated her. The response is all the same, "If that were true, why do you look/sound so sad?". Tidus telling Jecht that he hated him in that scene was quite literally the closest he would ever get to telling Jecht that he loved him.

[@KenjiVision]

Tidus is low key a badass despite being a cry baby, the guy had to endure killing his father to save the world and also end himself. There was nothing to win for him, he gained control over his own life by ending it to save others. He is an amazing character and it's inspiring.

[@wish7540]

Is he a cry baby? The dude was told he doesn’t exist and took it like a champ. How is him being badass low key?

[@ThunderFlarz]

Because his detractors have carried on since the original game about him being justifiably upset about a lot of things in the game. That and the laughing scene.

[@wish7540]

[@hartantoanggoro]

Braska drive Yuna's goal

[@The.Nasty.]

It takes 10 years for Yevon to reform Sin, the period called The Calm. Braska defeated Sin 10 years prior to the game start, so Ject is like a “new” sin and still has some control… This blows a lot of peoples minds but there’s no time traveling in FFX, Tidus is from the same time period as Yuna, he’s just a memory person living in Zanarkand that’s inside Sin. Sin doesn’t pull him 1000 years into the future, it basically spits Tidus out when Ject takes over.

[@hartantoanggoro]

@The.Nasty. the whole Dream Zanarkand remained the same for 1000 years, unchanged, undisturbed and ignorant as Sin laid waste all kinds of world development in Spira. Just as Spira began to decline itself into oblivion, so did the people who lived in Spira, unchanged, stubborn and lived in constant fear. Yu Yevon reformed its shell almost instantly since the Final Aeon provided it with a new shell as it killed the Aeon summoner. However, Yu Yevon needs time to suppress the Fayth of the Final Aeon and make it docile enough to be inhabited which takes time for 10 years. It's actually long enough for the Fayth to take control of Sin before finally succumbing to Yu Yevon's control which the Spiran calls it "The Calm" period. When Operation Mi'Hen tragedy happened, Auron did mention that it is useless to lure Sin as during that time, Jecht is still in control of Sin and he did that numerous times including the whisk to Bikanel Desert, appearing in Zanarkand Ruins and The Battle atop Bevelle/The Battle against Sin. Should Yu Yevon be in control, Sin would instantly obliterate the party without holding itself back.

[@AmiCocoa]

When this game came out on ps2 I thought the cinematics visuals couldn't get any better than they already were.

The visuals still blow my mind. They were at the perfect point between too real and video game. Now shit looks way too real.

[@baroquecentric5854]

Agreed. And to think this was in the early years of the PS2 where developers were still getting to grips with the hardware's capabilities; they took full advantage of the machine's potential in making this.

@@Gumbocinno no,big problem is the HD remake improved everything but the character models. What they did do is jack up the sharpness as far as possible. I preferred Tidus face when it was fuzzy graphics honestly. Now he looks kinda artificial. That and the lips flaps in the remake are kinda horrible at times.

It's just too bad that it was like the easiest boss battle either. Admittedly, I spent a SHITLOAD of time leveling and getting all of their Celestial weapons... even the Onion Knight, but still. I beat Sin/Jecht in like 3 hits and he barely even damaged us. It was severely disappointing. They could've made the fight much, much more difficult.

[@vengefuldeth]

@@sirdamned9272 Thats kinda the problem with FF games especially when you get older and understand grinding and min/maxing , they become cake walks which can be disappointing sometimes :/, I wish the Re releases had and option somewhere to control how everything would scale for you so you could force stuff to be more of a challenge or add in harder mechanics to certain fights, I just replayed FF7 and X for the first time in years and i dont think i ever even died once during 7 or more then a few times in X to some of the Arena and Dark Aeons

[@foutskazuya1425]

@@sirdamned9272 I understand the point you're making but the amount of time it takes to gather all of those weapons and upgrades is immense.

[@jonetgames]

@@GRIMLOCK07 I love his voice.

[@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629]

I think if they had to do this with today's technology where they could re-lipsync everything the performance would have been a lot better. The only reason that some of it comes off as awkward is the timing of the mouth movements in some places didn't allow for a more natural phrasing in the dialog. Overall it was really well done and the emotion is perfect despite those few moments. People complain too much.

[@AnakinSkywakka]

His voice definitely fits Tidus.

[@foosbooze263]

The line delivery throughout the entire game for Yuna and Tidus are terrible. Almost as if the actors can barely get out their lines. Both characters bring down the seriousness of what’s happening on several occasions.

[@Ninjamohawk]

My dad was a lot like Jecht. Always insulting me and trying to push me. But when he died, I was never the same. I miss that cranky bastard every fucking day.

[@Ninjamohawk]

But he did love me. Just didn't know how to show it. Rip old man.

[@EvelynL.1112]

​​@@Ninjamohawk'm sorry to hear that. My dad isn't dead, but he would single me out a lot for being autistic, but he shows he actually does care with the way he makes sure I am properly fed. He would always bother me if I'm not eating well(eating junk food in place of actual food).

[@captainbarbossa289]

I really have to hand it to Gregg Berger in this scene. He does a great job of letting Jecht’s real emotions seep through the tough talk with his inflection and timing with the dialogue. In a dub that has a history of being questionable, I’ve never been disappointed with his performance. Plus, the guy was Grimlock in the original Transformers cartoon.

[@GreatGrandmasterWang]

Wow, Tidus was true to his word. He really made it quick

[@glidingfalcon4370]

Honestly my most saddest scene in all of FF is when Tidus meets his dad (Jecht), the dialogue, the emotion it’s so so sad, so gut-wrenching. When Tidus says ‘I hate you’. You can feel the pain and anguish in Jechts voice, the regret, and the anger and sadness in Tidus and also how much he actually loves his dad, that’s just his way of saying ‘I love you’. Because he chases after him immediately to catch him when he falls. He’s been dying to see him the whole game, and actually only gets a few tragic minutes with him. It’s the biggest tragedy in all of FF for me makes me cry this father-son relationship 😢. The music too in that scene too 😢. Tidus had so much character development from hating his dad to forgiving him and loving him, and from a young kid to becoming a man and taking the reigns. I mean it was his idea to kill Yunalesca and Sin. Other scenes that come to mind is Jecht and Braskas goodbye to Auron with Aurons plea to stop, Aurons sending and of course the ending scene 😢

[@foosbooze263]

[@InquieteNightshade]

I love how when Jecht collapses at the end of the fight Auron starts to go to him, but stops when he sees Tidus running forward. Like, his first instinct is to go help his friend only to remind himself that this is a moment between father and son.

[@lolcreloux]

I get FFX is all about a tragic impossible love story between Yuna and Tidus - but I think there's also a lot more than just Yuna Tidus. Tidus grew from hating his father to actually understanding him, that's why when he says the "I hate you" at the beginning, he means it in a loving way and not like back in the beginning of the game. I loved that father-son development and this is why Tidus is a lot more mature than some might say. Noctis is a bigger cry baby than Tidus and yet people make him look like he's the most badass character of all FF.

[@ZeroTheHeartlessKing]

while i don't think of noctis as a crybaby (most of the shit he gets is somewhat justify but you have to watch the animated movie to see some of it but) you are right about tidus, he gets alot of shit for having actual parental problems that doesn't fall to "my family is dead, feel sorry for me" after all tidus blames jecht for his mothers death and the verbal, emotional and maybe even (unknown but maybe) physical abuse. honestly the most bitchy characters to me is most of the FF13 cast (altho i know i don't care for FF13 so i know i have some bias) and vaan lol

[@leofariasrj-dev]

Old Noctis actually is a fucking badass

[@lolcreloux]

ZeroTheHeartlessKing XIII had the worst cast as a whole lol I agree. What pissed me off about Noctis was how he just got so irritating after Lunaria's death, I get he loved her but he barely gave a shit about Ignis losing his sight and made it all about himself as if he's friends were burden. I did actually like him back when he sat one last time with his friends and thanked them.

This scene right here is what defines Final Fantasy in my opinion. To this day I maintain of all the modern FF games (PS1 forward), this one is the best in terms of story and character development. I know that's going to piss off a lot of FFVII fans, but this game had so much heart.

[@johnmcternan4157]

I played through as they released in the day, and themes and story and the general world of this are the most "real/raw" of all them. Religion, cycles of history, pursing the only option available as it the least worst option or throw all chips on table. A death march. I love them all VII-X, but this was the best and now I think more so as an adult.

My favorite was VI out of all of them but X is definitely up there. Tactics(ps1) had a very good story too though but I can't decide whether or not it beats X. The stories for both can't really be compared too much because they're too different. The only thing close between the two I can think of is the end. I loved VII but I'm not afraid to admit that it is kinda overrated.

[@timmahduud]

@@callmeshaggy5166 Well there isn't much to build in a world with Sin.

Difference between this version and the original Japanese is that Tidus calls his dad baka, instead of saying I hate you, right off the bat. And Auron says sorry to Jecht instead of "I know", for being late.

[@Eragarev]

1:45 Final Fantasy dad humor.

[@Glori4n]

Through the years, the most fascinating tale in this story is the respect that Jecht and Auron have for themselves. Auron kept to his word for 10 years, literally abdicating the rest of his life to serve a single purpose, as did Jecht, and when they saw eachother for the first time after all of this, Jecht instead of thanking Auron for giving up his life for his son scolds him, "You're late Auron", and the thing is, he didn't need to thank him at all, because they both know for a fact that if the tables were turned, Jecht would do the same in a heartbeat, heck, he gave up his life to save a world he barely knew. That kind of trust is very hard to be written believably, it is subtle, and very realistic.

[@TeamFriendship8600]

I like how people who never played FF10 bring up that one scene as bad voice acting when the voice acting is actually pretty solid.

When Jecht re-emerged as the beast and the intro song played I lost my shit and had so much adrenaline for this battle. Coming off of ff 7, 8 and 9, 10 blew me out of the water. When I first saw the intro I knew I was in for a wild ride.

[@NathanReacts89]

Tidus hates his dad as much as he DOESN'T want, to hate his dad. Like their is a miscarried relationship between them. So Tidus has a kind of unjustified love or connrection to his father AND an equally as justified loathing of him. Whatever way you slice it, hes heartbroken. Jecht became a better man in soul when he became sin. .The world had to end for him to realise the love for his son. Tragic af. So this is the first truly authentic moment between them. Oof.

[@Artaimus]

Jecht had a bit of brilliance there that you don't get until later. Normally when an Aeon is defeated everything about it vanishes. But his sword remained despite him shifting back down. So knowing that the current body was about to be defeated Yu-Yevon fled to await the Final Aeon that it would take over once the old host is destroyed. But likely it couldn't break the link fully until the old one was gone but since Jecht left that part behind, it anchored Yu-Yevon to it, long enough that Yuna could unsummon any she might have had out during the battle. So faced with the fact that there was no other host, just the remaining power of the old body, Yu-Yevon is forced to absorb what it can to begin making its new form and leaving it open until then.

[@bailinton4171]

Jecht is my favorite character in FFX. His design is striking, his sword is stupid and badass simultaneously, and his story is one of my favorites. Tidus was a small kid and a bit of a cry baby, and positive encouragement was only going so far, so Jecht became this mountain for Tidus to overcome, as a professional blitzball player he knew that competitive rivalry motivates both parties to be better then ever. It was all reverse psychology. When he leaves Zanarkand for the real world, we see the man behind the antagonistic facade, he is confused, he is homesick, he misses his family, and finds happiness in the new friends he made and the fun adventures they are having.

[@DanStone-mb8bm]

The ending when Tidus defeats Sin, he cries while holding his father while saying “I hate you” but you can hear it in his voice he truly wanted to say “I love you dad” before his sending. This scene makes me cry every time.

Lots of folks say they don't understand why the voice acting is hated - I don't understand the people who say THAT! I feel like several key moments are almost ruined by awkward acting...at least if you're playing with a friend, 'cause then you really notice awkwardness. I'm just speculating, but I can't help but think it's not the actors' faults. Who knows if they were fed the story details and blocking and stuff in a structured or chronological way? Lots of lines feel like they were recorded completely in a vacuum or something. I don't know, but I struggle to believe voice actors like these ones are actually just that bad. Plus several of their lines are damn amazing. Also, the laughing scene will not be your strawman, I think the bad laughter is awesome and it's super obvious that it's intentional. Anyway. The only characters who never, ever have bad lines are Auron and Jecht, they are unstoppable badasses

[@TMoney-wt1cw]

Voice acting in this game is great, some line delivery doesn’t sound natural because 1. English lines had to match up to existing Japanese lip sync (like where Tidus says “That’s enough!”) and 2. Apparently there was a glitch where if the English voice clip ran longer than the Japanese voice clip, it would crash the game or something, so the localization team HAD to make the English line equal length or shorter (like when Tidus says “Hi” it sounds rushed and cut off). The restrictions definitely make a few lines in the game sound weird, but the rest sounds great.

What continues to bother me to this day is - I can't figure out what the hell Yu Yevon is. If I were to go off the storyline, Yu Yevon was a human summoner but hell if what we fight at the end looks, or even acts human to me. I mean... he comes across as what the game portrays him as, a parasite, one that infects and possesses Aeons. Wasn't he said to have been Lady Yunalesca's father or... something?

[@jovanniorcullo1686]

He was the High Summoner of Zanarkand during the war againts Bevelle. During the war they were outmatched and Bevelle was determined to destroy them. So he asked the surviving people of Zanarkand to help him summon a great power and they would become his "shield". He's a parasite of some sort since it's like a final command thinking that they are still at war since the summons are shells of souls he would always merge with them since he has more power over the collected souls.

[@Can_O_Crayola]

Yu Yevon created Sin and ascended to what he is now to win the war against Zanarkand...the problem is, the war never ended. All this time later, Sin still exists to inflict sorrow and misery on Spira. Ironically, Bevelle turns to religion as a way to "escape" this fate, worshipping the very being who damned Spira to a cycle of death.

I don't know how many times I saw this god damn scene. After the first game over in the boss fight, you should be able to skip this cutscene

[@pezosdrare3291]

Man in my very first run of this game, I didn't train enought and that btch Seymmour killed me like 100 times at gagazet (I was really young). Had to watch the stupid cutscene everytime XD I was so mad repeating the script

[@astrius4125]

7:13 vs 7:18 Being hit by a reglamentary ball is more damaging than being sliced by a gigantic sword. JRPG at its finest.

[@an_impasse]

They needed an FMV for this scene and Auron's last words. 😢

[@sergiop1285]

Jecht : You re late Auron. Auron: I know . With that words reunited this good friends . That to they want this two was defeat Sin and reunited with the other friend Brasha. From Tidus was hard too. All this years hate his father and he realised who loved him and must kill him to free him to become Sin.

[@Athlynne]

Favorite scene of all-time favorite game (to play; in terms of story I hold VII a little higher). This game's story is so amazing and so beautifully told that I don't even mind how absolute shit I am against Braska's Final Aeon.

Jecht and grimlock have the same voice actor, bonus fact they're also the legacy voice of odie from Garfield

Jechts armour is much cooler than his baby son

[@trinityinyang8340]

Interestingly, he was gonna be disguised as Jecht. Sadly the developers didn’t want to give him a bigger role. While this helps focus Tidus’s story more, I feel that it wasted Jecht’s potential since he’s a pretty interesting character.

[@EliteV1llain]

Yuna: “Sir Jecht. I should...” Jecht: “No, Yuna, there’s no time” what exactly is yuna thinking she should do?? send jecht??

[@bunnydexter7178]

iBorder pretty much:/

[@captainbarbossa289]

I always assumed she wanted to thank him for protecting her father during his pilgrimage and wanted to apologize for how things turned out. Becoming Sin is a horrible reward for saving the world, after all. And despite the violence, Jecht dies peacefully, accepting his death and fading away before their eyes. We only get Jecht’s story from Titus’s perspective, but it’s easily one of the most tragic stories in all of Final Fantasy.

[@jonetgames]

In the japanese version she just says "ano" which if you've watched subbed anime before, this is equivalent to "umm." So it's really unclear what she was going to do. But her tone of voice in the jp version makes me think she wanted to express her feelings to Jecht before he was gone.

[@DarkLord-7]

So I better point this out for those who haven't played the game, or are looking to play it again. Having Tidus talk to Jecht mid-fight actually serves more of a purpose than to get a little extra dialogue. The first two times, it resets Jecht's overdrive bar. The third and final time, it does nothing, nor does it give any more dialogue.

[@emd78s]

After Jechts comment at 1:33 Rikku looks over like "You're right. He IS a dick." Lol

[@frozenfusion6072]

Here's the thing, why didn't Auron help Braska defeat Jecht when Yu Yevon possessed him? Auron was still alive when Braska confronted Sin. He didn't die until after the Calm began.

[@tyro334]

Braska was dead. The final summoning killed him. And there's no way Auron, even in his prime, could take on Aeon Jecht alone.

[@pezosdrare3291]

first of ALL, how did jecht went to spira ? was he "created" by the faith like tidus ? Why did Auron went to zanarkan to bring tidus back in spira if the faith just created him ? this part is so confusing for me.

[@schemar17]

@@pezosdrare3291 he washed up on the shores of spira

[@JemCel03]

Because Jecht still has control prior to becoming the new Sin, he insisted Auron to bring Tidus to Spira by entering Dream Zanarkand in hopes of ending the cycle for good.

[@youngfox2186]

Tidus is Gohan Jecht is Goku Auron is Piccolo

Son of Jecht meets Jecht

[@user-pi1lb4tf2f]

Auron is the most important factor in the story. Sin/Jecth and Tidus are immortals as they exist outside reality and Jecth can pull him out of it but without Auron, he might not be able to control Sin to travel in the dream Zanarkand that's why he teased Auron being late because this is their gambit in ending the cycle. Only Tidus can help Jecth to gain more control to Sin so they can lure the Yu yevon out. Without Auron, they have to wait again until Jecth can gain some control of his own as sin and Spira would be atleast 50% destroyed by then.

[@LPRpgler25]

Andjelkovic Dennis: oh Gott wie ich dich hasse wenn die Möglichkeit besteht würd ich doch sofort eintauschen !

[@TriHard7c]

2:29 nice armor you got there

[@frankjager2420]

Time travel in this game is a little weird. Its obvious Jecht was the final Sin. But when you think about it, Sin destroyed Zanerkand to get Tidus to come into the future. That was the first Sin attack and it was Jecht doing it. So he is the First and Last

[@TheLucks13]

No time travel element, the Zanarkand of a thousand years ago Tidus and Jecht are from are a aeon kinda. Them, their Zanarkand, and everyone in it aren’t the real but the dream of the fayth made by collective survivors of the real Zanarkand that was destroyed by Bevelle.

4:47 who else uses this song as a gym pump song? I can't be the only one

[@Rojaniel]

I actually understand what Tidus is going through here. I used to think the old guy I lived with (not related to me, but raised me) was just a quiet heartless man who didn't really care about us kids. Later I learned about scars from Vietnam that he never really got over. And he had to deal with my mooch of a grandmother. He could've tried to open up more. I suppose he did his best though, in the way he knew how. That love-hate relationship I had with him endures to this day. It's complicated. He was 63 when I left. in 2010. Haven't seen the man since.

[@mmamackela284]

Still so disappointed that they didn't make a high poly model for Jecht. It ruins the scene just a little bit.

[@Delicashilous]

Yep!

[@ft9kop]

The best Tidus could say is Hi in the high annoying voice

[@SaberRexZealot]

Steve it sounds like he said “ha” instead 😂
