nice video

[@ozzomayomama]

A buddy of mine and I found a "glitch/bug" while messing around once... Did you know, if you unlock Blitz Ace before the fight with Sin on the first boat and use it on Sin, the camera angles are not there and you can watch Tidus warp on screen! This is also in the HD re master version as well. This appears to have been missed by the dev team. This was a very hilarious thing to do. Try it, you may get a good laugh!

To all those that have come here. Those that played this game when we were kids on the ps2. This game is special and still holds such a deep place inside our hearts. I still ache for this game from time to time. I will never get lost in a game like this again. The story was incredible. The love story was so heartbreaking. The score was incredible and the world was beautiful. But this game was greater than the sum of its parts and has brought us all here for a reason.

The change of “Thank you” to “I love you” I think is a culturally appropriate change. In Japanese, people generally would not voice out their love explicitly most of the time. So this “thank you” has all this emotional nuance which thank you in English does not have.

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

I think Dark Yojimbo's reflection is true. He is a shadow of what he once was, yet he still thinks of himself as how he used to be.

[@xDiranx]

Personally I think the "Arigatou" is much more powerful than the "I love you". By the time that scene comes about we have spent X hours witnessing them grow from strangers, to friends, to lovers. We have seen the weight Yuna has to bear, knowing that she will die, and Tidus's crushing realization that all his "I will take you to Zanarkand" was like pouring salt into an open wound, and yet Yuna loved him for that unbridled optimism. And even more once he stubbornly refused to give up on her; he changed the world for her. There is no need to tell us that she loves him. We know. We have witnessed it. Thanking him, for all that he's done for her (or they for each other), what they have been through, endured, persevered, achieved..that transcends "I love you". Thanking someone for the love and commitment they bore you is infinitely stronger and a better indicator of character growth. It shows maturity and a deeply rooted affection that goes beyond mere romance. It symbolizes love more than those three words ever could.

[@michialphelps2339]

This is definitely well known by everyone

[@LeoUchiha812]

This is probably more a X-2 fact, but in that game, the strongest enemy you can face is an old Unsent named Trema. Trema actually appears in FFX. He is never mentioned by name, but he is, in fact, the Monster Arena manager. He is able to create powerful fiends for the arena because he has the unique ability to manipulate pyreflies.

[@TheYuPagoda]

That is some nice lore. I have one question though. Why did they give him the same appearance and Voice Actor as the guy you meet at the beginning of the Zanarkand Dome in FFX. He sounds exactly the same and looks exactly the same. The guy who tells you about Zaons' soul being gone? Why isn't he Trema? Not saying that you are wrong on this. I am just curious.

[@filippoclozza22]

in ffx u'll fight him bruhh

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

Oh God. I’m in the middle of the endgame grind for the first time (5th playthrough, just first time I’ve bothered with the arena) and I’m never gonna be able to look at him the same way. I’m genuinely terrified of him now. I might just go fight sin underleveled because I don’t want to look at him anymore. And I always assumed the guy in Zanarkand somehow WAS Zaon

[@Josh-cn5yp]

[@Josh-cn5yp]

I never knew that

[@MrVyl]

There is actually an optional conversation the covers number 12. When you first launch in the airship you can talk with Rikku on the bridge and she tells you that it was the airship you found at the beginning of the game.

[@matthewbanes6591]

Thanks for talking about Anti-Drain. As a lifelong blitzball player I keep checking every new version of the game to see if they've fixed it. They never do....

[@Daionor]

They tell you the airship thing during the story, where Rikku says "Don't you recognize it? It's the one we dug up under the ocean." or something along those lines.

[@PleiadianPhoenix]

I am Italian and i played the Italian version of FFX, when you fight Dark Yojimbo and he uses Daigoro (which is written "Daigorou" there) before the word "Daigoro" appears in the upper section of the screen, "Komainu" appears, then as soon as he attacks it changes back to "Daigoro"

[@paolomusso140]

True!

[@theeleman]

The Japanese don't usually say "I love you" to the people they love. They say "arigato" to express love, thanking each other, instead of saying, "Ai shirotu yo".3 Feb 2019

[@patrickthomas2320]

Yeah, I knew about Yuna not saying "I love you." in Japanese, but in my opinion, it feels a little more powerful when she actually says it in the English version.

[@SiusBoii]

my theory.. durren fell off the cliff while swinging his sword, if you recruit him he chills with the team instead and doesnt fall off the cliff

[@luckymouse1988]

( This might have been mentioned already, but... ) Regarding number three, I think it's wrong to leap to the conclusion that Yojimbo's dog is called 'komainu'. Komainu are a type of statue off of which the dog is modeled. Personally I lean towards him being a komainu named Daigoro. Calling him komainu would be the same as saying his name is dog, if the files for his model were named 'dog'.

[@Ben-fx9kx]

Yeah but Daigoru could just be the attack name

[@luckymouse1988]

Indeed, that is also a possibility. Here is why I lean towards him being called Daigoro, though; Looking at Yojimbo's attacks, we see that all of his attacks are named after the weapons he uses to perform them: *Kozuka*, name of the small knives he throws; *Wakizashi*, name of the sword he uses to attack; *Zanmato*, 'demon-cutter sword', the sword he cuts the enemy with; *Daigoro*, following the precedent of the three other attacks, you could conclude that Daigoro is name of the dog he uses to attack with. Going about it from a different angle; In Final Fantasy X-2 Yuna is accompanied by a little dog, that resembles Yojimbo's, when you equip the Trainer Dressphere. If you meet certain criteria throughout your playthrough then you will gain the ability to rename the pets that come with the Dressphere by talking to Barkeep. Doing this teaches us that Yuna's dog is called Kogoro, Rikku's monkey is called Ghiki and that Paine's pheasant is called Flurry. In Japanese, the prefixes *ko* and *dai* are opposites, *ko* meaning small and *dai* meaning big. Not only do their appearances look similar, their names can be seen as a play of words, as a set even.

[@NoLiveking87]

Daigoro is also a kid from the old Samurai Movie/Series Kozure Okami. A Series I would highly recommend. I dont think that this is just a coincident.

[@danielevans7439]

Final Fantasy: Record Keeper calls him Daigoro. Considering how the rest of that game is super-accurate, I’m going with that.

[@mydogsbestfren7490]

yo aint Komainu the dogs from Ghostbusters

[@elijahnewman975]

I think the reason for the change in Yuna's last line to Tidas, " I love you" vs " Thank you" between the English and Japanese version is because we express our love verbally while the Japanese express love physically with gestures and such

[@godofthecripples1237]

This was the game that taught me that story can make a game great.

[@Matuiss2]

I actually prefer Yuna saying "thank you" instead of "i love you", coz Tidus obviously already knew Yunas feelings by that time, she even admited that in the "farewell sphere" that she recorded in the end of Mihen road. So for me thank you seems better, coz she make him know how important he was to Spiras eternal calm and to her happiness.

[@jesussalvatierra3010]

+Matuiss2 It´s a cultural modification, since in Japan Love is only use towards parents and not partners. :)

[@amythelime]

+Jesus Salvatierra You're correct in thinking that it is a cultural modification, but it is not true that love is used as a word solely to express feelings towards family members. This is untrue, but Japan does have a hard time accepting young people to use the word 'love.'

[@jessicawarren3489]

+Amy Ki Also, Japan has varying levels of saying, "I love you" to someone. You can say I love you to a friend (suki) or you can say I love you to a really close friend or family member (daisuki) (suki and daisuki are generally used for objects, though). For those you're in a serious relationship with (like a boyfriend or girlfriend you've been with for two years and going strong), you usually say, "Aishiteru." With those you're married to and see the two of you growing old and dying together, that saying is upgraded to "Koishiteru." Saying "Arigatou..." in a relationship (such as if you're breaking up or they're dying) would be like saying, "Thank you for spending your time with me." It's a very mild way of saying "I love you" without saying it. So! Arigatou - Thank you for spending time with me [intimately] Suki - I like you. Daisuki - I really like you. Aishiteru - You are my love. Koishiteru - You a truly my love (deeper meaning than aishiteru).

There are more like this one, I think one of the kids at the start of the game, when Tidus gives autographs of himself, there's a seemingly younger child, who also wants to be blitzball. I guess a blitzball player was too long for them, maybe it's a slang amongst the players and their fans.

[@141MusicLove]

The kid finally got to do it. He finally got to be a Blitzball IN A GAME! Never give up on your dreams. If this kid can, you can.

09:47 The change from "Thank you" to "I love you" was heavily debated between the English translator/writer & the original Japanese writer. English writer wanted it changed to "I love you" as he felt it made more sense both for the story & Western release. However, the Japanese writer didn't want it changed because Japanese people do not openly voice their love to each other/public. Source - Edge Magazine interview.

+dansg08 no problem. it's the truth

[@duskfall_777]

Great facts! Some other fun facts people may not know (Spoiler alert!): • Sin literally eats Dream Zanarkand at the beginning of the game to transport Tidus in Spira (Auron and Jecht had planned this in advance). That's why you "swim" in Zanarkand inside Sin at the beginning and end of the game. • The little boy who tells Tidus not to cry at the beginning is Bahamut's fayth (Notice the wheel on his back). • Final Fantasy X is the first Final Fantasy game to feature an all Asian cast. • Final Fantasy X is Final Fantasy VII's prequel, and this is canon, from Kazushige Nojima himself. Remember Shinra in FFX-2? The company was named after him. The whole concentrated pyreflies turning into spheres phenomenon makes sense as Mako energy if you think about it (materia). • At the good ending of FFX-2, Tidus is brought back to existence, but nowhere is it explained who summoned him back. The fayth say that they brought him back for Yuna since she saved the fayth twice (once from Yu Yevon and once from Shuyin). But the fayth can't summon anything by themselves. They are used by powerful summoners to dream something up. • Somewhere between the events of the good ending and the perfect ending of FFX-2, Yuna and Tidus are stranded on an island (a summoned island) and Tidus "dies" for real (FFX-2.5 book). Now, as we know after the events of FFX's ending, Tidus was never ''real''. If he was, he wouldn't have disappeared at the end of the game. Tidus was probably what the fayth's recollection of Shuyin was (an actual person) when they dreamed Zanarkand up. At any rate, he dies from a blitzball shaped bomb, and Yuna literally brings him back from the farplane, which creates a whole slew of problems. Yuna acts distant to Tidus in the audio drama because if Tidus remembers his memories with her, he will disappear (he will *really* disappear 😂). Now this last point is not in any way canon, it's just a thought I had about the main characters' names. What if Yuna and Tidus are never meant to be together? In the Okinawan language, Yuuna means night, and Tiida means sun, both can never be together. Think about it, after all they've been through, two games and even after all that they STILL can't seem to catch a break. We'll have to wait until FFX-3 to see the ending of their story, if they ever make that game. I'm personally content with the ending of FFX-2: Last Mission, I think it leaves things up to the player's imagination, just like FFX's ending did. They are both amazing endings.

This was an absolute joy to watch by the way. Number 14 in particular was quite interesting. I'd most certainly enjoy seeing another video like this about FFX. Another series that would benefit from something like this is Metal Gear. There are so many games in the franchise and the lore is so deep that I'm almost positive you could make a compelling video out of such a topic.

[@Dansg08]

+KH-mixerX I may do, but this video took an age to make, a lot of editing, fact checking and extra recording. Metal Gear is quite popular for its Easter Eggs/Lore etc so I would think it's pretty saturated. I'll see how this video does, despite my FFX influence if it fails to get any real views I probably won't continue. I could have made 10 walkthrough episodes in the time it took me to make this :) But I wanted something a little different with greater sharing potential to see if it could get some views. It seems like unless you get exposure on social media/gaming communities/sites, it's hard to get a video noticed...

Technically that Kid should already be grown up I hope he got his wish...

[@pentagonofpeople]

Bonus fact: Yuna saying "thank you" instead of "I love you" in the Japanese version isn't as different as one initially thinks. She didn't say "I love you" because that's not how Japanese people express their emotions; think it like shouting out "I AM ANGRY!" or sobbing while saying "I'm so sad". It just seems silly. It was a very necessary change for the english version, but it would've just been kinda weird if Yuna had said "I love you" in the original Japanese.

[@CosmicTornado1]

Both make the same amount of sense to me. I thought it was fairly obvious that Yuna and Tidus loved each other when you look at the scenes all throughout the game (especially when they kissed). “Thank you” also shows gratitude while saying “I love you” doesn’t necessarily do the same

I always figured Blitz Ace was the most damaging move, but I suppose you mean "most damaging" in terms of normal attacks. I augment that overdrive with his powered up ultimate weapon (because it breaks the damage limit) add Rikku's overdrive (Mix 2 Door of Tomorrow) to make a trio of 9999 spell to completely max out damage and I can kill anything with just one BlitzAce. Even Bosses.

I think the reflection of normal Yojimbo on Dark Yojimbo's sword could be interpreted as his true inner self showing through - so maybe this isn't an error - it very well could be but since it either is an error or it isn't, this is the only explanation for the latter being true that I can think of. Interesting at least.

[@Renegade841]

It's not an error, nor is it as in-depth as you think. It's just a simple retexture. They basically just duplicated Yojimbo's character model and then retextured the duplicate.

[@RealEnglishNow]

Renegade841 :/

[@Deepishpls]

My guess is that re-doing the effect was too much trouble for what its worth, since it looks like the game uses pre-rendered effects for the Overdrive. They'd need to render a new one with Dark Yojimbo, then load it in, which would also take up more space.

[@23Fists]

If you ask me, FFXII did a good job,even if the pace was slower than most were okay with. It actually had time to build up more than just a few characters (we never see Aaron or Kimari grow, while Lulu and Riku grow just ever-so-slightly, with the main focus on Wakka's growth over racism and blind followership, Yuna's willingness to take life into her own hands, and Tidus's... Understanding of Spots, and shattering that understanding for everyone else by ripping out what is essentially both Catholicism and Christianity all in one? It's a bit blurry, but at least Fran, Bash, Vaan, Penelo, and the rest of the cast from 12 had their own parts where they grew, although it has been too long since I played it to mention the instances directly, much more akin to 7 and 8 than 10. Having said all that, my favorites are 10 & 8 tied for first, 12, then 7. Idk why, but I feel like 7 was over-hyped for me by friends before I had played it for myself, taking away from the impact of it, I'm sure. Also, WHY CANT I USE PHOENIX DOWN ON ARETH?!?!?! D:

[@Maikigai]

9:50 Tidus’ reaction only makes sense with Yuna saying “I love you.” Her just saying “thank you”, in my opinion, wouldn’t warrant him spinning around so fast with a shocked look on his face. It might even be why they changed what she said for the English dub.

I positively love your videos about ffx, it was literally everything I needed for this game. I've loved this game since I was 8 years old and have played it time and time again, and it remains one of my favorites. If you're still releasing content, I would love to see more videos of fun facts about this game. Maybe your top five favorite aeons or characters or locations.

[@xxzero-limitxxrules8370]

I think Wakka does the most damage with his attack reels if you get all three. In my opinion I pretty much killed every boss with it. I could only image how much damage it would have been if the damage cap was broken.

great video, just wanted to say number 12, rikku says in the game when you're at home that it's the ship they found underwater anyway. so not sure how someone would miss that, not critiquing just making a point.

Holy crap rikku wakka and tidus are doing insane amounts of damage to that thing. I never got the celestial weapons. Thats ridiculous how much damage they do to that tankette

[@constantanxietyattacks6878]

In Japanese, Yuna says "Arigato" which does mean "Thank you". However, arigato has the same mouth flaps as the word "Aishiteru" which means "I love you", which could leave a bit of a double meaning, though, Japanese people rarely say aishiteru, due to how incredibly strong and intimate it is. (In fact, even married couples are generally hesitant to say it). Also, in the context that it's used, "Thank you" is basically equivalent to saying "I love you".

[@m4cksfx]

Ad. 7 - I'm pretty sure the guns count as second opponents to make the shading work like it does. When your characters are affected by Zombie status, both them and their weapons cycle through green coloration. For the monks, their weapons don't do that. You can even see it in this exact clip, with Yuna's staff when she is zombified. Plus, the weapons seem to immediately disappear when the monks are killed.

[@SHAWNEESKYWALKER]

This is cool. I noticed this person pronounced Tidus the same way I do.

[@GM_Yorri]

Correctly

[@laluma6890]

The 11th point: I figured out, that Yuna said "thankyou" in the original, because the german translation in the subtitle didn't fit many times with the english dialoges, so the german translation was from the original (japanese) and not from the english version. Is very confusing sometimes. So in the end, the subtitle said "Danke (Thankyou)" and Yuna said "I love you" for example.

[@brianmonroe861]

This has been my all time, number one favorite game since its release and I still play it. There are only two things that I absolutely HATE: the Blitzball match against the Goers ( It’s not that it is hard. It’s having to restart and go through several cut scenes and dialogue in case I lose) and the Chocobo Catcher race against the trainer to receive Tidus’ Sun Sigil. That “mini game” was created by the Devil himself.

[@Jkilla186]

The chocobo race is nothing. Now, the patience needed to attain the Venus sigil 🤐🤬... The comparison isn’t even close

@@biscobisco1882 I don't think most people are able to do the lighting dodger in 4 or less attempts. The focus and composure to dodge 200... in a row! I've replayed this game many times and I think I only managed to ever do it twice, it frustrates me too much and I get impatient. Whereas the chocobo race is so easy to me Tidus' Sigil is always the first Sigil I get.

[@biscobisco1882]

@@Jkilla186 It's really not that hard - it's the same timing every single time if you use the crater trick and you can quite literally pause the game if you feel your focus waning, so it doesn't even require that much concentration.

[@Jkilla186]

@@biscobisco1882 pausing can also distract and throw off the rhythm though. I think the main difference for me is 1 mini game is over in just a couple of minutes, not a lot of concentration needed vs 1 mini game that is more time consuming and more concentration or attention is needed. The 2 are not even close in my opinion. Lightning dodger is way more annoying. But I get it, everybody's different.

[@darktheory4897]

I've beat this game so many times. I would have to say this is my favorite Final Fantasy game. Everything about it is simple and easy to follow. It was truly a beautiful masterpiece in my opinion.

naming my future daughter Yuna, because of this game

[@ReyhanSamitAlchemist]

I second that. A great way to inspire her to be a child at heart, but with an elder's sens of responsability. Pretty much the recipe for a complete human being.

[@KiyokoSa]

ReyhanSamitAlchemist I'm glad you agree, some people laugh

[@ReyhanSamitAlchemist]

It is true that naming one's kid after a pop culture icon seems to be a symptom of a weak mind. So from a video game, that should be even more expected. They simply don't know Yuna's story. Hum, someone who can walk on water, and willing to sacrifice self to remove sin from the world... kinda reminds me of another deep character in a very respectable book.

Durren the sword swinging goalie, I think we see him in a crimson sphere in ffx-2 showing that he left for the crimson squad and I think that's why he is missing after you fight Sin in ffx. But the timing might not be right, I just put that together after watching ffx-2 walkthrough.

[@joelebanks2057]

[@Theaggyyu]

For #7, I did a little hacking into the game. I was able to find using an external program that Kimahri's spear when you fight him in Besaid also counts as an "opponent". I guess it would also charge with Slayer, assuming the end of the Kimahri fight counts as a kill?

[@danfadil]

Very nice video. One thing though, and I'm sure someone else must have said it, and I can't remember the exact line of dialogue, but Rikku actually says that the airship is the one they found at the beginning of the game. I think it's before battling Evrae, possibly earlier, but definitely after Cis takes off. Appearance wise, I thought it was meant to be obvious for anyone playing through a second time also.

[@Dansg08]

It isn't the most incredibly difficult to find piece of information, but I wanted to throw that one in there off the back of a lot of comments I've got over the years of people who were genuinely surprised when they realised it was the same airship. I tried to keep a range in there from stuff even less experienced players may know to the much more in-depth that you would need multiple playthroughs or extra research for.

10 things you need to know about my rambling intro before I actually get to the 10 thing's

[@DagothUrWelcomesYou]

I had a potential infinite loop event happen to me years ago as a kid. It was during the Seymour Omnis fight. I have no idea if it was going to go on forever cuz I gave up after several minutes, but I had an elemental Aeon out to fight him, and after I did an overdrive, Seymour switched elements to one that heals the Aeon and just kept casting magic at it. As I said it went on for several minutes.

[@BruceVial]

I always thought he was saying “I want to be a blitzball when I grow up” is correct. Since he’s affected by sins toxins.

I've never played FFX fully through, until recently, and i just beat the game yesterday, so i'm really glad i can finally watch all these "easter eggs", "secrets" etc. videos i've seen so much of

[@Trevin_Taylor]

the sword is mah-sah-moon-NAY. Japanese has no silent vowels, so the "E" isn't silent like in english. also, technically, they call him tee-dus, not tie-dus, but that sounds incredibly stupid to westerners so I dont blame anyone for ignoring that. but mah-sah-moon-NAY is actually a famous real sword of legend, like excaliber, so you gotta get that right. no silent vowels in japanese.

[@Dansg08]

+Trevin Taylor noted. I'd never heard anyone pronounce it before so however I decided to pronounce it back in 05 when I first played is what I stuck with :)

[@Trevin_Taylor]

+dansg08 thanks for responding. hope I didnt sound like an ass. I thought myself an FFX expert, but this was almost all new info to me, very impressive. for future reference, german also has no silent vowels, if it ever comes up. I'm sure there are others, but those are the 2 that I definitely know. maybe I should abandon my dreams of being a blitzball, be a dictionary when I grow up!

[@FoxyGuyHere]

+Trevin Taylor Teedus is how we say it in my country and we are kind of westerns. :)

[@DatsDaven]

+Trevin Taylor There are plenty of "silent" vowels in Japanese. The "u" at the end of "desu," the "i" at the end of "yoshi," etc. For what its worth, even though I know how it's pronounced, English being my first language, I still say "mass-a-myoon."

[@Trevin_Taylor]

So you say "yosh" not "yosh-ee"? You're confusing silent vowels with soft vowels.

The reason Yuna says "Thank you" in Japan is because in that culture it is considered rude to say "I love you". It sounds strange but in Japan love is expressed by actions, not words.
