FFX - Now is the time... - Auron's famous line - Spoilers

-- SPOILERS --
Yuna choses her fate at Zanarkand Dome.
Ripped on a PS3

[@XT873]

I love how throughout the journey Auron tells Tidus: "You remind me of myself." You know, ten years before. Already knowing that, it's so epic when Tidus shouts "No!" and is about to charge Yunalesca, but right when he shouts, Auron's dream appear and shouts No! at the same time and shows what happened. Instead of telling Tidus not to charge in, Auron just simply showed him his dream. Gives me chills because Tidus would probably do the same mistake as Auron did 10 years ago.

[@danilonakazone386]

Jecht would do the same

[@NecoTheSergalGAME]

What Squeenix should do to capitalize on FFX isn't crappy sequels. But a PREQUEL with Auron as the main character and his travels. Everyone knows that this would sell like fucking hotcakes.

[@florianv3539]

If they made a prequel and wouldn't let us play Jecht, I would be so mad.

[@KayEffinGreez]

GENIUS! I may have to try get that to them in writing.

[@RyanBM]

Neco The Sergal Chef Sounds like a great idea on paper but I've always kinda hated the premise of a prequel. I honestly believe for square to continually pump out compelling characters, stories and worlds like they have for the past 20 odd years is the product of letting the creative juices flow and not holding themselves back by hanging onto what worked in the past. I realise they are guilty of milking the cash cow but on the whole I think they blow away other companies with the sheer volume and depth of their work. I would however love to see blitzball get a spinoff game but I think neither of us are likely to see anything like that anytime soon.

[@lightsidemaster]

+Neco The Sergal Chef I approve of this comment.

[@thelinedrive]

That was actually the original plan for X-2 before they scraped due to the popularity of the romance of Tidus and Yuna and the director having an interest in pop fashion.

[@tachikoma747]

Yuna was such a good lead female role. It makes me wonder why Square was so adamant about making Lightning the "first female protagonist in FF ever" when Yuna already held the title in my book.

[@swordmeisterguy6752]

tachikoma747 Technically, Yuna is the main protagonist of FFX. However, the story of Yuna is being told by Tidus in a third-person perspective.

[@nesenda]

pkillerx what about ff6? The 2 main stories are terra and celes

[@TooLameToDie]

Just going to ignore 10-2 huh?

[@Darksaviour]

Terra, Yuna, and Asche. The neglected female leads.

[@thegaminggengar3328]

I'm going to say it, Auron Is a badass

[@fearfulharmonycddrama6216]

Auron, the savior of all suicides.

[@mykindofnatural3319]

lol

[@grimes6357]

This was such an intense moment in Auron's history, left alone and enraged over the senseless death of his friends. You can't help but respect and admire him here.

[@yarow122]

4:05 I think I just realized why I never committed suicide.

[@Duenas411]

Auron gave you the sword to fight! Youre a fucking warrior dude!

[@domagojkersun9630]

Yes my brother lets defeat sorrow and cast out this false hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TMoney-wt1cw]

Boobies?

[@Naturmacht1]

Auron: "Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!" This is an awesome line, it could be used in a speech before a battle or a war^^

[@TheWarriorsSpirit]

My hope is that 100 years from now someone will comment that Auron is still a badass!

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIPKIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

I'm from the future... Just came to say Auron is still a badass.....

[@gappy3799]

Dude just think that, you see on youtube, *uploaded 100 years ago* my fuckin god

[@jessicafoster1196]

Yes, he does yell in the fight against Seymour if you choose the Talk command. Specifically when he says "You will pay for his death!" One of the few times he sounds truly agitated/angry too.

[@IAcceptVisa]

"Although he is not the man I once knew, Kinoc was still my friend. You will pay for his death!" I remember those words.

[@supersonicwe]

La

[@Runeless]

*Turning point!!* I was shocked at this point in the game! I was like "You mean we're going against Yunalesca herself to defeat Sin? This is awesome!" Yuna's little speech really resonated with me too. I loved how she talks about living with sorrow, and continuing to fight through, hoping one day you'll conquer it. We all have struggles in life. The point is to never give up--as long as you are alive you have a chance!

[@WingedSword89]

👏🏼👏🏼 I know this comment is very old but it's always true. The characters we play in games, read and watch on TV, movies in a play are reflections of who we are and strive to be. For us to become better versions of ourselves.

[@rozgriz5550123]

If Auron hadn't return to fight Yunalesca and been guarding Yuna and Tidus, Yuna might just do the same thing like his father, Tidus might just do what Auron did before. Auron knew the truth .Yevon,final summoning is all lie.But Auron chose not to tell them from the beginning.He wanted them to see what he saw .And that is his final mission,the only thought that has kept him exist,to guide and to protect Yuna and Tidus til they finish the wish that everyone on Spira shares.

[@TheShikenation]

"Well I'm fighting!" LOL Rikku is so simple and strait to the point! XD

[@sheodagana]

One of my favorite scenes ever in any game. Auron's speech gives me chills to this day.

[@manawa3832]

It is cheesy now, but when I played this game many, many years ago it was a very moving experience -- to watch those characters break away from traditions and religions. It inspired me to question the beliefs that my parents and culture drilled into my head. It eventually contributed to me exploring even more liberating themes. Today my view of the existence of god and outdated traditions is very different thanks to the journey this game and this scene embarked me on.

[@whitewolf6329]

LMAOOO wtf

[@FalconOfStorms]

It's not cheesy as far as the game goes, but to reject old things just for the sake of rejecting old things is foolish. Perhaps old things endured because they had validity. This is just a video game story. There is a Creator. His Son did die to give us a shot at eternal life. We have volition, and it is up to us whether we accept the gift of life. And life is a gift, not a right. We didn't create ourselves. History, science, and reason bear this out.

[@TheBaltimoreDude]

Seraph O. Storms You sound like lady yunalesca, FALSE TEACHINGS....all those crusades all those martyrs...for nothing, SHAPE your own story...explore the gnostics teachings...the BASE of FFX.....and rot in your dullness.

[@manawa3832]

Seraph O. Storms We could have a typical internet athiest/thiest showdown, but the real point here is that culture is a huge influence in people's lives. Video games,movies, comics, tv, and books shape our perspective. FFX holds a special place in my heart, it helped shape some of my views as a kid and I'll never forget this game.

[@whitewolf6329]

Dingo Egret good for u

[@spenser9784]

Gosh, they don't make em like they used to, eh?

[@stonethemason12]

Spenser97 Fuck no

[@Implosion99]

Such a fantastic storyline - few games have ever made me feel so emotionally attached. A true work of genius - going down to Zanarkand actually did make me feel dread of what was to come...

[@XelestialAurora]

I feel like his speech was brief and to the point...it wasn't about friendship and love and happiness...it was about accepting reality and living and trying to find a way even if there is no hope, or giving up and letting others control your life or just die and give up. I don't think because you found it corny and melodramatic means that America did...anyone who's ever stared death and hopelessness in the face or really got into the game could understand it.

[@BeAMan115]

Every story must have an ending. This is your story now, end it the way you will.

[@allypezz]

Forgot how good this game was

[@jeffvincent6690]

I don't think yunalesca understands the meaning of "hope".

[@1undertakeristhebest]

She understands the meaning of hope, she just knows that Sin will never go away and that everyone has false hope that a traditional calm may bring an eternal calm.

[@swordmeisterguy6752]

Nah. She confuses "hope" with "perpetuated ideals".

[@stevenmorton298]

SPOILER? She definitely understood hope. In fact. she understood it well enough that she used it to trick everybody into trapping themselves in her father's Spiral of Death.

[@yevonsama]

@@stevenmorton298 You can see she look the the other vesion of Yuna. Dark Yuna.

[@dragonieprayer]

0:37 Girl! you have guests! put on some clothes!!

[@doodle8386]

dragonieprayer old people dont give a shit. They dress how they want.(she a thousand)

[@domagojkersun9630]

It is better to die in sorrow then live in false hope.

[@mewantcool]

love this game, such a classic, great game and memorable quotes especially from Auron and even Rikku "memories are nice, but thats all they are..."

[@Thunder_Roy]

Best FF Ever!!!

[@NavySEAL11]

She was the hardest boss in the whole game....Sin and Jecht were nothing compared to her when I played lol

[@BillyBowlster]

You obviously never fought penance aeon from the calm lands.

[@alakevin]

BillyBowlster I think he meant Compulsory bosses not optional bosses

[@dangerousshoes]

BillyBowlster Even still, I think Nemesis is harder than Penance. Penance is just an unnecessarily long fight.

[@muhammadnasif1496]

Raysix Zeta oh really? I've watched my brother played long ago, still can't beat penance, but had defeated nemesis several times

[@dangerousshoes]

I dunno, I have a harder time with Nemesis instead of Penance. It's just a REALLY long fight.

[@Jiraiya069]

The last good Final Fantasy...

[@BluesOnAcid]

The only time Auron yells.

[@adamcrosbie6262]

Yeah he's a pretty chill fella. But I think he yelled one other time during the fight with seymour natus.

[@Dugga49]

This scene was awesome, but lady Yunalesca is a bitch to beat.

[@zero5559]

When i first fought her on the ps2 version, I though it was over before her third form came out. i was under leveled and it took almost and hour for me to beat her....did not want to do that again.

[@Dugga49]

zero5559 The insta death thing got me the first time, I didn't have a strategy manual or anything so it took me life 4 tries

[@GoldanSaint]

she's pretty easy, the only worrysome thing is mega death, and she inflicts Zombie Status on you before that so the mega death will miss.

[@1undertakeristhebest]

I usually beat it pretty easily. I just used a sequence of switching out characters. Keeping 1 character clean and the others with zombie. Trying to constantly use Auron, Tidus, and Kimahri or Wakka. Didn't bother healing. Just used phoenix downs.

[@Snake4175]

Now, this is it! Now is the time to choose: Die and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape -your- stories! -Your- fate is in -your- hands! You could always run. Ha! I'd never forgive myself, no way! Not if I ran away now... Not even in death, ya?! Hmph. My thoughts exactly.

[@socafeen4683]

Powerful quote that you can even take with you through life today

[@susanwarner4886]

what no one will admit is that the most badass speech in this scene is given by Yuna

[@TheForelayder]

I understand why Auron say this and looking at the player... Yeah, if you lose the game now, you'll continue to play in sorrow for keep fighting her. And if you beat her, you'll continue the game with hope, and without the thought of sacrifice someone. Auron is just the narrator of the game... :)

[@TitaniumSeraph]

That clip of young Auron when he gets angry and attacks Yunalesca always chokes me up a bit. Auron is my favorite forever!

[@TAMAMO-VIRUS]

I always felt Yunalesca did not want things to turn out this way. But she has spent a 1,000 years creating aeons, that she lost her hope. Now she doesn't want Spira to lose it's hope like she did hers.

[@WingedSword89]

Interesting point and analysis.

[@Kaboomboo]

You title this Auron's famous line. I'd say it's Yuna takes a stand. She was so devout that she was willing to die for her beliefs and stood up to, who was quite possibly, the most powerful being on the planet when she told her her role in the end was just smoke and mirrors.

[@HappleProductions]

You know, I never have fought her with holy. It's an interesting boss fight, especially considering you spend the first two forms avoiding zombification, then absolutely need it for the final form.

[@Judaddy1]

All time most badass playable FF characters Barret ff7 Auron ff10 Shadow ff6

[@zura8879]

Judaddy1 how about Zack?

[@SonnysonnyRavRav]

Your comment makes me smile so much my face may actually split in halfxD

[@lightsidemaster]

Auron still is and always will be, the most awesome game character ever.

[@franciscomatos26]

young auron reminds samurai jack so much!!!!

[@ChaosImperial]

Remember, no one even thought about going against Yunalesca. She was seen as divine. After the war between Zanarkand and Bevelle, only she had a way to control sin, and her help came with a price. Bevelle destroyed her home, her family. By the time of FFX, she was a long dead haunting obsessed with revenge against those who destroyed Zanarkand. And no one could stop her. As payback she made the world her bitch, and to deify what was left of the people of Zanarkand: the summoners.

[@Auron16]

the whole scene felt so epic back then...and still does

[@RevoZtuns]

I just wanted to say - i think another reason why FFX was such a great game was because the story had so many layers. The whole element of religion (Al Bhed's as outsiders who are in the right vs Yevonites of Bevelle) is articulated so well and can be reflected through society today...

[@Tucknrollgrampa]

Such a great cast, deep story and plot, and art direction.

[@darkgokussj]

It's been ten years since I first heard these words :'(

[@SelfDestructionWorldwide]

Let me be your liberator!

[@futurestoryteller]

Some people might find some of this cheesy, but it's not cheesy because of how relevent it really is. Yuna's speech is perfect, it's great when she says "no one". And Auron is by far one of the best characters ever; when his spirit energy came out of nowhere spewing; "Where is the sense in all this? Braska believed in Yevon's teachings and died for them. Jecht believed in Braska and gave his life for him!" That gets me every time. Strength, quiet, wisdom, and honor. All noble qualities.

[@TheHeavy666Metal]

I just love how wakka's faith comes crashing down!

[@imanoobhunter]

Auron.. I'd follow you anywhere with that speech!!!

[@zeasdz]

Auron is so epic..but he got owned, you really felt the emotion when he attacked her....very awesome, and hes long speech about stories the guy is a fountain of coolness

[@RockabillyJoe]

Wow, this was the best thoughts about this that I've ever stumbled upon! The ronin idea is just a guess, especially since Auron is no ronin. Your thoughts about this really made me go "Aha, that must be it!". At least I hope that's it. From now on it'll be it for me. Thank you very much, Sir!

[@RobbyStyrene]

amazing scene, good memories playing this with friends and talking about the story at lunch.

[@jspaz0]

Man i keep replaying 1:37 because young auron lets out a scream of rage and attacks. Its hilarious to listen to however very sad at the same time because thats how my favorite Final Fantasy character died.

[@89RedXIII]

"And I can finally deliver the speech that took me 10 years to prepare" :-D

[@89RedXIII]

My level of English is pretty poor, but I can tell you that I definitely agree with you :-), this is a great subplot that provides much of the magical story of FFX. The presence of Auron as "Obi-wan" in the game of FFX greatly enriches the plot.

[@pooplord8405]

It is very rare to see a scene this good in any form of media. Consider yourselves lucky to have seen it. The way the dialogue meshes so well together... Wakka and Lulu overcoming their shaken faith... Auron's epic speech... Yuna's nod at the end as if she's saying "Let's kick her ass"... All in an area as bizarre as this, as the game comes to its climax. Not to mention the boss fight itself is so incredible.

[@Boke11489]

Auron was waiting all day to say that lol

[@jcampbell98650]

Good for suicide hotline. Lol I love this game

[@violetbutterfly1629]

The most epic speech in Final Fantasy history. Nuff said.

[@Ms4everMyself]

"Hope is comforting" Somehow, that one lines scared me the most out of the entire game

[@serioushamster]

I was scared shitless when she sent auron flying,he was my strongest character.

[@OsnosisBones]

"vampire medusa with zombie human snake hybrids"

[@Darkman-1234]

Sin is eternal

[@chaosmasterro]

4:06 marks the greatest speech in history.

[@auronlu]

@chasen47 If you've got an LCD TV, (a) try an HDMI cable, (b) try a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter for the power plug (oddly enough, this fixed my jaggy problems), and (c) poke around in the PS3 video settings. I forget what the exact setting is, but there's something on upscaling or converting older games to newer that can be adjusted.

[@Roy5595]

According to the wiki, its a tradition of sorts among Ronin (samurai who refuse to ritually kill themselves upon the death of their lord) to bind their arms like that. It could be a reference to Auron not killing himself or sacrificing himself upon Braska's death.

[@H3LM3TK1D]

Thanks for the upload! brb, gonna go play through this game again

Now is the time to choose . Die & Be Free of Pain or Live & Fight your Sorrow Now is the time to shape your stories your fate is in your hands ! wakka:nah, i'd never forgive myself , no way , not if i ran away now.. Even in Death ya ! Goosebumps Goosebumps Goosebumps *___*

@ANGRYMAPLE a remaster is just a simple HD Redo, Remake is when they add things. Hopefully they decide to do a little extra though, maybe turning some of the low res character models into high res.

[@jstealth89]

Auron = Coolest character in the FF lore period. Dude needs his own spinoff game.

[@ShuregaelJrein]

Best story of all time. FFX forever!

[@Spectacular66]

First time Lulu ever raised her voice, I remember this part!

[@Linkforlife199]

Ah Lady Yunalesca, arguably the hardest boss in FFX, alongside the Mt. Gagazet Seymour fight.

[@Renmiri1]

After the Zombie trick, it isn't that bad. You just need to let her make everyone a zombie, then when she does that "instant death" attack everyone is already dead as a zombie so they survive.

[@DeepVoicedDude]

Yes, that's exactly what I said, as far as they had been told they were destroying Spira's only hope, but they (particularly Yuna) didn't believe that, and so decided to fight Yunalesca and look for a better way to beat Sin. They didn't have a plan at the time, because obviously their entire journey was supposed to end with the Final Aeon, but once they learned the truth they just decided that that wasn't the right way, and so they would find a better one.

[@NeoChrisOmega]

@DragonMagicMaster that happens a lot in the ENTIRE game if you pay attention. the thing is you have to stop and look at her eyes when you see a cut scene.

[@vc180191]

It's got a double meaning. The first indeed was because of a Ronin theme, although he isn't one, Auron's personality and designs were based heavily off of both Monks and Ronins. He wears his clothing like that because of that design style. Secondly, although he never shows it, the reason why he's always seemingly holding his arm in his coat is because the bones in his arm were badly broken when Yunalesca hit him. As an Unsent, he's not really affected by it, but he still shows it physically.

[@AndrewFedge]

Now I'm all wanting to play this game again. It's been long enough I've smoothed off my memories of every little plot detail ... but it's moments like THIS where I go "oh, snap ... did that just happen for real?" :D

[@gregohks]

@LovelessInfinity333 you can,once you get all monsters captured in monster arena in the calm lands area you will get 60 farplane wind (1 deathproof).The one way to survive mega death is this.I used that way since auron hit for 9999,yuna's magic 9999 and tidus ~4000,i wanted to end it fast.Or you can keep you characters zombied,and cast reflect so Yunalesca cant cast cura on you

[@puissantpoisson]

First seen:"If I can see his past like this, he should be dead, what an incoherence" and after I realised:"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

[@Bladeofwar94]

I think that was put in there on purpose. It shows what perspective can do to humans.

[@vincent10660]

@XxvaultlegendxX Actually, I'm pretty sure Tidus WAS starting, but what ever happened (Sphere playing?) stopped him. Of course, I doubt he would have talked about Braska. .c.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

They have the same hairstylist. He's the *real* mastermind behind Yevon.

[@Crixus_VIII]

Yunalesca's attack did not kill Auron right away but it gravely wounded him he crawled away down mt. Gazet the run found him put him into one of those inns and then in the morning he was gone, Rin tries to bring it up at that lightning plane (can't remember the name sorry) Before Rin can go into details Auron says I would rather drop that subject Rin

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIPKIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

Rin is sick at blitzball... What a guy

[@FewestReborn]

U knew when u heard that battle theme and it wasnt the normal boss battle song...sh*ts about to get real...

[@soignefromage]

i love it how Auron swings his 1000 pound sword like a feather.

[@orcbum]

No, they defeated Yunalesca prior to learning about Yu Yevon, so they battled Yunalesca knowing that they would probably be ending Spira's only hope for defeating Sin. Then, knowing what they've done, the group returns to Bevelle seeking guidance from Maester Mika, then the fayth. Which the knowledge of Yu Yevon rekindled their hope of defeating Sin permanently.

[@xslithsx]

Would have been the perfect time for him to have a "seniors moment".
