Final Fantasy X - Auron's Story - A Tribute (Spoilers)

[@chadthornsberry1342]

You missed something in Auron’s story. Specifically, Auron’s relation to Rin. I believe that Rin makes a remark about the wound he received from Yunalesca and how it was hard to imagine anyone could survive it. He also mentions, Rin that is, Auron disappeared the next morning. So from that I believe Auron ran into Rin prior to reaching Kimahri. Rin helped Auron, he left before the next morning and ran into Kimahri just before he died.

[@camrnjurena]

Final Fantasy X will always be my favorite game. It's hard to know that nothings ever gonna feel as good as playing FFX for the first time again.

[@cereyza]

camrnjurena woah, never thought of that.. /:

[@uploaded113redone]

fingers crossed that i go senile

[@apushman]

it definitely had the best story and characters that i cared about, poured endless hours into this game back in the day

[@ryaneglinton8970]

Yeah, agreed.

[@edchampagne1806]

speicaly now since square makes shit games now and no more turned based ff

[@shiindaisuke3159]

Auron is essentially the pinnacle of male maturity. Stoic, mostly devoid of ego, able to freely express himself emotionally without any concerns about how others perceive him, loyal, honorable, honest, compassionate, & wise. He is in all honesty what I believe we should all aspire to be. He even faces his death with acceptance, & without fear knowing he's lived a full life, & overcame his lingering regrets.

[@danielramsey6141]

Well, you also have to remember that Auron was basically a Ghost, he himself was an Abnormality in the Living world. But he only continued living on because he wants to be a Teacher to the Generation that have NO IDEA the true Story behind SIN. As most Summoners and Guardians basically die before they make it to the Yunalesca’s pad! If you Ask me, Auron knew what he wanted to do by the end of the game. Bring Balance back to the world. And by Deciding to fade away into the Farplane, he’s basically ending the control of the Spirits from holding The citizens of Spira down. The future belongs to them, it doesn’t belong to the Dead who are prisoners to the past!

[@donvalve2257]

And that bit of cynism and sarcasm that helps to face the difficulties of life without being crushed by them.

[@awakenow7147]

I don't want an FF X-3. I want a prequel about Auron, Braska, and Jecht.

[@Hal_142]

well we kind of already know their story. the only thing that would be added would be a couple extra bits.

[@Hal_142]

also if they make an x-3 I hope they don't use that god awful audio drama as a template.

[@lordblazer]

I really don't want a prequel. in the age of reboots I love original material more than ever. x3 gotta be a sequel. defeat sin.

[@awakenow7147]

lordblazer Hmm guess we have different preferences. I thought the original X ended the way it should have. Bittersweet. I don't think every story needs a super happy ending.

[@Hal_142]

Awake Now X's ending was great if you understood why it has the impact that it does. but I still couldn't help but want to see yuna and tidus back together. I like to think of X2 as an official fangame.

[@ah2528]

Auron is probably my favorite FF character. His dialogue and voice acting was spot on.

[@vanillainfusion]

His mouth is hidden so the voice actor had a little more freedom with words/delivery :)

[@Walamonga1313]

And theme

[@thomasbrown6527]

Exactly, and my favorite character as well

[@fishnutz5196]

Who doesnt like a badass swordsman?

[@ryaneglinton8970]

Favorite overall character in video games possibly for me.

[@ChickenCatzz]

Auron deserved a cgi scene during his sending :'^( RIP

[@edchampagne1806]

ya no shit what happen they run outa budget

[@PerishSong94]

"Don't look to others for knowledge. This is your journey too." One of the best quotes in the history of MANKIND. What a character.

[@thomaszagajeski5498]

I would say that Auron and Jecht (sin) were definitely able to communicate in some way because if u recall the moment just before Tidus gets transported to Spira Auron looks directly at sin and asks him if he's sure as if to answer a question only he could hear

[@israelwhyte1307]

Also at the end jecht tells Auron "you're late".. i think they did communicate general time frames and plans. Could have been to do with pyreflies and being unsent

[@McGuire40695]

The scene where Auron is talking to Wakka and Tidus where he says "I wanted to changed the world, but I changed nothing" has always resonated with me. You can feel the pain in Auron's voice as he was naive in thinking that things may be different fr him, and he learned the hard way.

Thanks for this looking forward to watching. I finished FFX when I graduated college and always associated Auron moving on with me moving on. A confession: I loved the character and his name. Fast forward six years and my wife and I have a little boy. His name is Auron.

[@Dansg08]

+Michael Schlossberg Whoa, awesome :)

[@kristiansondrupsrensen1282]

[@philiptucker6119]

Boy I remember when this game first came out. I went to my cousins house to spend the weekend but he had to work. He came home just before work with FFX and tossed it to me. I was addicted from the moment I turned it on and saw that first cutscene. For the next 3 days my Aunt, all three of my cousins, my cousins wife, and two of my friends watched me quest through this game on a large screen tv with surround sound. We did nothing all weekend long but watch/play FFX. Good memories I'll never forget (:

[@huckmart2017]

Sounds like heaven

[@rommyremus9650]

FF8 was my first and when 9 dropped I did the exact same thing. It lasted 4 days and when I finally went home I slept for 20 hours lol.

[@SoDarkIsTheConOfMan]

Similar thing with me going to my grandmas house. (One of the first memories I have of gaming is watching my grandma beat ff9 when it was less than a year old). Played this game all weekend from fri- late Sunday. The game imprinted on me from that weekend and I've came back every 2 years ever since.

[@s871-c1q]

FFX is art. The game gives so many emotions in subtle ways. Beautiful.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

[@MaxiJrpg]

Thats an amazing idea. Hes always been my favourite character in almost every final fantasy game - and I guess hes loved by many. I really enjoyed this, its been a whilesince I played FF10 :)

[@Theaggyyu]

Love the "red carpet has teeth" quote in the description x) You did a really bang-up job with this. Auron is one of my favourite characters in gaming! I'm so glad I watched your FFXHD playthrough and I wish you all the best in the future :)

[@MistrBlistr]

At the end of FFX, after the defeat of Braska's Final Aeon, when Auron says, "this is your world now" I weep like a child every single time.

[@rmsgrey]

Auron gets a big guest role in Kingdom Hearts 2, which is worth checking out if you're a fan of the character.

[@rmsgrey]

@Philip Tucker Only if you don't count moogles nor the Re:Mind DLC (which, admittedly, doesn't have much) - and Seifer does get name-dropped in some of the background chatter in Twilight Town. Still nowhere near as much as it should have had, considering how important the FF characters were to the story in KH1 and KH2 (and CoM and coded as a result of being significant in KH1)

[@lightsidemaster]

dansg08 "This guy is just incredible. I wish he truly existed and I knew someone like this. I wish I could be part of this world, that Auron could be my uncle or something." We think alike. How often have I wished for Auron to be real...

[@Ynotillgiveyoumyname]

Auron is stoic, gargoyles shatter out of jealousy in his presence.

[@isorokudono]

Stealing this and there isn't anything you can do about it. hahah

[@belias360]

He isn't that stoic.

[@glidingfalcon4370]

thanks for sharing your shitty, unpopular opinion. Hes 1--% stoic

[@Supreme0757]

Ynotillgiveyoumyname lol best comment ever

[@kingsarverjr502]

Stoic? I can see that. I always thought he was just heavily focused and no-nonsense about things.He spoke when he felt the need to. He wasn't too much for small talk. Everything he says, always has deep meaning and mystery to it. And, he doesn't try to be, either.

[@Rogun987]

One of my favorite characters in the series.

[@KHmixerX]

Although I doubt you'd consider it, I think a video like this dedicated to Seymour would be great too. Love this by the way. Great job as always.

[@Goron1988]

KH-mixerX When you get behind Seymour (especially go on optional quests) you do find out that he has a very good reason to be who he is. His story is nearly as layed as aurons.

[@donvalve2257]

@@Goron1988 loneliness and suffering were the only companions of his life, sure he became fanatic, but I understand too why.

[@Oilops]

Know pretty much wverything there is to know about the best character ever.... still watched the vid cuz your probably my fav youtuber ever. Glad someone shares the extreme love I have for ffx

[@lincforehand1]

Thank you for the in-depth story on Auron!! One of my favorite FF characters as well. I always found him as the perfect narratively stoic & enigmatic character! It's like if Buddha & Bruce Willis became one man....Auron

[@bradg221292]

Great video, I fell in love with FFX when I first played it on the ps2 and Auron was always my favourite, it was the first Final Fantasy I've ever played and the story and overall game got me hooked. I recently played the HD remaster edition and your videos were so helpful so thank you. I Really hope sometime in the future the FFX world can be revisited again by square enix, I'd love a prequel game with maybe Auron's story and his early life and his adventure with Braska & Jecht. I guess you never know so fingers crossed.

[@lightsidemaster]

Oh god that would be a dream come true.

[@foremount]

I think everyone would benefit by have their own Auron in their personal life. He has seen the sorrow of the world, the futility of religion, yet he keeps it all together so that he can make due with his promise because he a man of his words. Sadly, he's not real, but a figment of our imagination. It's befitting that he is made entirely out of pyre flies because his character cannot exist in human form [in fact, if he was human, we would seen a wide range of emotion with him, which could render our expectation of him null (or feel disappointed)] and thus in our world.

[@EarthenCavy]

I would marry that man in a New York minute. Only fantasy could conceive of someone just so bloody imperfectly perfect... "sigh"

[@isorokudono]

Still one of the best characters in all FF, design and story wise. He was a great addition to KH as well.

[@ColeMeCrazy]

That was Auron's story and Hades is not part of it!

[@ChaosN0110]

From this perspective it sounds like Auron and Jecht planned the 'whole' FFX story how it (mostly) became in the end. :O

[@Rafaelanimes1983]

Can you imagine a Pre-quel for FFX where you could play with Young Auron, Jecht and Braska?!.....without of course lightning dodge and Chocobo baloon races stuff.

[@EarthenCavy]

That lightning dodger was infuriating, and the chocobo training was just inhuman. I nearly ended up summoning a demon from all the dark, incoherent tongues I was speaking in, riding those stupid birds...The fault is in the controls and the inability to change camera angles. >:/

[@Rafaelanimes1983]

@Philip Tucker Typical millenial response.

[@thomasbrown6527]

I hated those two challenges, especially those damn balloons

[@kuritamobiletruth]

does that mean you can't get the ultimate weapons in that？

[@tiredoftiredness7787]

Back when I was small my uncle presented me with a play station 2 and two games. A Sonic the hedgehog game or Final Fantasy X with the guide. It all started right there on that choice. And never would I have guessed that the choice I made that day would echo on and cause a ripple in my future that would be of much significance and help me through so many of my issues. This game truly marked where my life now began and how I live it till this day. And yee I cried when we had to say goodbye to Auron, but come on, who didn't get punched in the heart and feel it through their resperatory and circulatory system?

[@gilgamesh310]

I always thought Auron was awesome, but this video gave me even more appreciation for him. He's probably tied with Cecil Harvey as my favourite character in the series. Great video.

[@TrojanKaisar]

Auron is the most badass person in Final Fantasy X. Basch was my #2 behind Auron in my fave FF Characters.

[@tammoss7342]

Nicely done. Just stared over again with the PS4 version. Back in the day we, the folks digging for Auron backstory, thought he was an orphan of a Sin attack sent to the care of the church. This leads to his absolute dedication and his refusal to marry which breaks his code. He s my favorite character, and so tragic.

[@Matraman]

That moment when he smiles like a boss meeting Barthello, one of my favorite scenes ever! Thank you so much for the greatness, Auron truly legendary :') *btw, still prefer the SD version of Auron's face, more handsome & having debonair feels haha

[@EarthenCavy]

I agree. His lips look like he got stung by a bee or he had collagen injections in the HD version, hahaha... ♥

[@kingsarverjr502]

Don't forget that moment, back in Luca. After Seymour had released those fiends in the Blitzball stadium, and Auron was about to fight that dinosaur-esque fiend. The fiend roared at him, and he simply smiled back, like "okay."

[@charlieagee4024]

I'd love to see more about Final Fantasy X-2 and it's characters. Surely, I'm not the only one who is interested in Paine's story, Vegnagun, Shuyin/Lenne, and others. I've seen other channels do lore series for The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, but not for Final Fantasy. At least not as well done and handled with as much regard as you have done. I saw the "Timeline of Spira" video suggested for me the other day and was so interested that I actually remembered to look it up and watch it. Please do more of this. Very interested in Final Fantasy X-2 lore and Final Fantasy VIII lore. Do this, and I'll be sure to get you some more hits. As for me, I'm subscribing now! Thank you!

[@taimalik1110]

I always imagined Auron as a mentor figure to Tidus, similar to Gandalf and Frodo or Dumbledore and Harry Potter, the same relationship between a protagonist and his mentor. Sir Auron is by far one of the best developed characters in the Final Fantasy universe!

[@rouronikenshinX7]

The "legendary trio" are just absolutely fascinating and great characters. While it may be "overkill" and perhaps nothing left to say (especially based on Auron's line: "There were less fiends then"), I still hope they come out with a full story of Braska, Jecht and Auron's pilgrimage. Game or just story.

[@daagomezmo]

This game is awesome and you're awesome because your comments make this game shine even more. Thanks a lot.

[@OpticalArxenal]

Excellently done. I'm a type who usually likes villains over anything else (they tend to have more nuanced backstories for why they do what they do, Seymour falls under this...although the handlebar hair detracts...and the english voice...egads), but Auron is my favorite character *ever*. Partially because of the english voice. I vastly prefer the japanese voices, but Auron's english voice was just perfect. World-weary, mature, measured and concise. Added some subtle bite when neccessary, and occasional humor too. Just fits so perfectly. While he's young, it's pretty good too, just sounds like the stiff-necked hero he wanted to be. I do wish that there's maybe been a few more things fleshed out during his stay in Zanarkand, as 10 years is a looooong time, and he clearly interacted with Tidus. If they end up making another sequal to this game, I really wish they leave the FFX people mostly out (like cameos or including Yuna/Tidus would be fine, as they're stablished to have shit they can do still), because nobody wants it to go the way of that awful audio drama...

Auron is the hottest childless DADDY of FF world. I was like 12-13 when I played it, and even at that age, I had a small crush on him hahaha. He has some unique sense of humour too. That 'the red carpet has teeth' line lol. I also love how he becomes so emotional before the fight with Yunalesca. Only when it comes to his fallen comrades, he shows the most emotions and rage. So touching.

[@theskepticpirate156]

Auron's humor is something I got a kick out of. The dry and sarcastic humor is very similar to myself.

This is the best Auron lore video on KZbin. On that note, it seems like KZbin gaming channels have revived interest in ffx in the last few years, but you’ve been going at this game strong for way longer than that. Lots of respect for that

[@NymphieJP]

"The red carpet has teeth" A very underrated line.

[@Hushoo]

Who voiced Jecht? Really good job by that dude.

[@ravvers_]

Awesome video! At 20:30 you mentioned Jecht and Auron possibly communicating, and I think that is true because in the cutscene where Auron and Tidus ride Sin from Dream Zanarkand to Spira, Auron asks Sin, "You are sure?". It's also at 19:26. Thanks for the great video Dansg08!

[@DarkExuul3]

It's kind of amazing to think that most of the significant events in the game happen before the game really begins. Looking at the part where Tidus is involved, the only big plot point that I can think of is becoming a traitor of Yevon.

1st: Auron is my favorite FF character aswell, that probably will never change. 2nd: They really butchered Auron's theme in the HD remaster.

[@peshmerge44]

i don't know about other people but i started final fantasy with FFX and it was a mindfuck. i did never play a game like that before. the lore, the cutscenes, the character progression and a lot more. for me FFX was pure perfection and all the other FF games don't even come close to it. I don't care what anybody says.

[@tomtarbox4606]

I would like to play, watch, hear, read or just think more on Auron and Jekt’s friendship. How they grew to respect one another and developed such a bond, as well as Braska and why they would both sacrifice their very life for him!

Excellent video as always, really enjoyed it! It's incredible how Auron's death plays such a crucial part in the FFX storyline. It kind of makes me wonder how everything would unfold 10 years after Braska, Auron and Jecht's journey if Auron had somehow managed to survive his fatal wounds.

Can you do a story on Tidus or maybe his connection and resemblance to Shuyin? I know most of the details and theories, but I want to hear your take on this stuff. Also, I love your love and passion for Final Fantasy X. You're one of the only people I have discovered with such qualities. Keep it up!

[@mortalballgt52]

+MORTALBALLGT Actually, how about including a story about Shuyin as well?

[@videohayvtv8706]

Yes, please Berk! Tidus (Shuyin) is my second favourite character behind Auron!

[@brantleyfoster021]

Shuyin was part of the real Zanarkand, that was destroyed by Sin 1000 years earlier. Dream Zanarkand was created and completed just prior to the real Zanarkands destruction, that would exist as long as Yu Yevon continued. So Shuyin would have existed in the dream Zanarkand as well as the real one. Dream Zanarkand was located near the Baaj temple out at sea in a hidden location. Just to be clear here, dream Zanarkand is a real place. It's a common misconception. One of the purposes of Sin to Yu Yevon was to halt civilization from advancing and ever discovering dream Zanarkand's location. The only way Auron got their was because Jecht wished it and took him, because he wanted Auron to look after his son. This allows the people of dream Zanarkand to live normal lives without fear of fiends, like the inhabitants of Spira have to deal with. As Yu Yevon was constantly fixing any damage dream Zanarkand would take. It's most likely that Tidus was born from Shuyins family tree, as a distant descendant of sorts. Shuyin wasn't around when the real Zanarkand was destroyed by Sin. He was under Bevelle activating Vegnagun for the sole purpose of destroying Bevelle's machina army, in an effort to save Len from being killed on the frontlines. Len learned about it and managed to stop Shuyin from going through with it, before they were both shot in front of Vegnagun.

[@MurkamiHaruka]

Brantley - but the Real Zanarkand was destroyed by the Machina war between Zanarkand and Bevelle. Which isn't revealed until the storyline of FFX-2 when it is told by Maecha. Even then, Yuna, the gang And majority of Spira only knows that A Zanarkand was destroyed by Sin. Through sphere hunting, everyone finds out that Yevon was hiding secrets. It is only because of the final events of FFX, spheres, and other secrets that many people stop trusting in Yevon. There's a lot of missing pieces in FFX to FFX-2, to few to connect Shuyin and Tidus together. Summoners existed during Shuyin And Lynn's time but there is no mention of SIN. There's a lot of theories consisting of dream zanarkand and the real zanarkand. Dream Zanarkand was created by the survivors of the war who were turned into the fayth and dreamed their memories. The summoners purpose according to FFX was to fight sin and continue the cycle. In FFX-2 we find out that summoners had more than one purpose other than fighting SIN. One thing we do not know is what of the summoners that didn't complete their journey to get the final AEON? in Gagazet we find that some summoners don't even make it the the fayth of Gagazet. Are those summoners used for petty battles and wars? In FFx-2 it is mentioned that Bikanel was also destroyed by a machina war......Huh? Wakka mentions that SIN is a punishment for letting things get out of hand, before he was talking about the Machina war. What? I believe that the Bikanel desert wasn't always an island and was at one point connected to Zanarkand and the fall out of the war put a crevice in the land and eventually the land just drifted away. Thus years later the AL Bhed were banished there and that is where HOME was. If that's case, it would explain the immense amount of water that you find when visiting Zanarkand. There's a lot more.....and that lot more is just matching up the storylines....I'm done DX

[@brantleyfoster021]

MurkamiHaruka​​​​​​​ This is correct, the real Zanarkand was destroyed during the war between Zanarkand and Bevelle. I was only pointing out Yevon's side of things. Sin was Yu Yevons strategy in the war as the news of the war took it's toll on him and he broke. So he tried to save his city by creating another one at sea through the power of all the summoner's who became fayth to remove the reality of what happened in Spira, he then created Sin to serve as armor and it's programming meant that whatever city was nearby, would be destroyed. What was left of the real Zanarkand was its first target. Yu Yevon not only dreamed up the city, but its residents as well. Tidus is most likely connected with Shuyin because of this, as Shuyin was a prominent resident of the city.

I went through your playlist hoping to find more character stories but I didn't see any. 😭 I loved this vid and the one on the story about the game NOT being time travel(I'm replaying the game for the first time since I was 14) and it made EVERYthing make so much more sense!! I wish you would've finished the rest of the characters. Auron is my favorite, too. The dude is a BEAST! Mentally and physically!

Man I really enjoy how you narrated the whole story, FFX is my favorite game ever and this series of videos are really nice. Cheers!

[@Valto4life]

I don't think you can make a cooler character than Auron. It's a somewhat common character archetype of the veteran that has already once been through the whole thing the rest of the cast is going through but in FFX it was done so damn well. As a kid playing FFX, I cried at the ending scene with Auron but nowhere else in the whole game. His ending was so fitting as he pretty much got everything he wanted and his probably was the only ending that wasn't sad/bittersweet. I thought I was such a bitch for crying at video games at the time, but it was such a good story :DD

I think THE most important event in Spira's history - aside from Yu Yevon summoning Zanarkand - is the Aeons wanting to stop dreaming. This provokes Sin to allow Jecht to get to Spira. This allows Auron to go for Tidus. This allows Tidus to go to Spira. This allows for everyone to question Yevon. This allows for the defeating of Yu Yevon.

One of my favorite characters in FF. He was such a great character and his arc is amazing and extremely satisfying

[@jaytincher1105]

I loved FF-X beside FF7 it's my favorite to play but it's also the first and only one that made me shed a tear at the end of it. My favorite speach from him is right before you fight yunalesca

[@MS-ql8ek]

This game made me cry so much

[@YamiYunoko]

I am still wondering why is it that Auron seems to be unable to hold his breath underwater like the others even though he’s unsent? Assuming he can and he doesn’t show it because I can imagine he doesn’t want people to find out that he’s not part of the living anymore but at some points, Yuna’s life was definitely endangered underwater, yet he still didn’t try to make a move to dive and save her. Imagining he actually can’t hold his breath like Blitzers can, then how did he make it to the shore in "dream Zanarkand" when Sin dropped him off? (Sin probably had to drop him off way off in the ocean or else there would probably have been mentions of a giant monster around the city at some point.) I'd be curious to know if there were any moentions on that anywhere. Anyway, your video was great, thank you for spending so much time to bring us such great content

[@speedyflygirl3107]

thanks for this Auron was always my favorite💕

[@pancake_ghosty]

Auron is my favourite character from FFX. My dad used to sit on the couch in the living room when I was playing on the tv 20 years ago and he followed the whole story with me. When Auron said, "I wanted to change the world and I changed nothing, that is my story" I'll always remember my dad welling up.

[@pinesyeet]

That's it. The FFX story is the most fantastic story of a game I've ever seen. It's my favorite game of all time, and I will play it again tomorrow.

[@yarow122]

Thank you for this. It wasn't until watching your video that I realized how much Auron impacted me. 30:49 Fuck dem feels.

[@caru93]

thank you for this. had someone ask me why I loved him so much, but its been so long since I've played the game, that his story was becoming vague. also, nice avatar. ;)

[@GemStoneHidden]

Great synopsis of my 2nd favorite Character in Video Games. Batman is 1. Wish it weren't cannon that he was around 25, he's designed to be eternally 30's and late 60's, One of the wonderful(Great) characters in history.

[@EDX616]

The best Final Fantasy Character ever *.* Thumbs up for Sir Auron!

[@MeizuSasaki]

Thank you for the detailed description on a memorable character.

[@bimanatawilaga7509]

That promotional poster of Auron, where he stands between two pictures: Tidus' Zanarkand and Yuna's Zanarkand.. Auron the is the connector of all the events for the game!

[@ShaneBaxter]

YES. More FFX more FFX!

[@moonflow5133]

Really amazing job on this. It's really appreciated. At 20:35 you query if Auron can communicate with Jecht as Sin. Before Auron throws Tidus into Sin, at the start of the game, Auron looks up to Sin and says "As you wish". Obviously this could just be Auron being Auron, but I think it sounds like a confirmation of something Jecht has said. I'd speculate that they can communicate while Jecht has control, similar to the way Tidus' mind is affected when coming into contact with Sin.

[@Croftice1]

There's Auron asking "Are you sure?" while looking towards Sin and holding Tidus high up. Surely he wasn't asking Tidus, but Sin/Jecht. So some sort of communication was there. He even admits to Tidus later, that he felt Jecht inside Sin in that moment they were sucked into Spira, which is exactly this moment. If he can feel Jecht, why wouldn't he be able to communicate with him? As an Unsent, he has many "advantages" (as he said himself), such communication could be one of those.

[@dyaneulalyncastillo1416]

Hi! Auron is also my favorite character in ffx. Though there's just an info that was not mentioned. Rin, the owner of the shop, tend to him in before he died in Bevelle. I believe, he's the one who found Auron at the foot of Mt. Gagazette. Thought I'd share :) A truly awesome guy! Ffx was my first FF game and Auron will always be my favorite character :)

[@winstonhouse6489]

The Lady Yunalesca fight is one of the best moments of all video games, and the character of Auron is a big part of that!

[@donvalve2257]

He is like, i was waiting for this moment for ten years. It's playback time bitch.

[@didaadller]

i like this old man, always put auron in the party cuz he strong, perfect motion in battle and his voice fits the character. No auron no ffx

[@pancake_ghosty]

True but also he's only 35. I was actually surprised watching this as I'd forgotten that the dude was mid 30s and not in his 50s..edit: also agree the voice acting was perfect for him

[@jeremystarson9855]

Another thought that I think might be plausible is that Yevon's teaching is designed to make the world of Spira, Bevelle in particular to be punished. Everybody living in fear of the cycle of Sin. Yevon realized that Zanerkand was going to be destroyed and he created dream zanerkand to keeps its memory alive, and Sin to not only help protect it, but to punish the ones that destroyed Zanerkand. Even in the destruction of his city, Yu Yevon still wins. I guess I compare it to a Hunger Games situation. The hunger games are done to keep control and give people hope. Sin is puts people through suffering, but also gives them hope with the pilgrimage, which is a sacrifice of at least two people, and the cycle goes on.

[@sarsson]

What a great and informative video! Thank you! FFX is my all time favourite game above all! you said you won't be doing the other stories, so can I find them somewhere to read for free? :)

[@Dansg08]

Thanks, check the description for the link to pmog's thread on Gamefaqs. The stories that have been translated should be in there, but you'll have to find them.

[@TheCRAFT00000]

dansg08 you better than auron

[@calloffdutyglitchers]

Totally agreed, best game and great information ;D

[@redfox4171]

I think also another cool little thing about Auron was the fact he wanted 'life' and the alive to make its own decisions rather than take the lead of the team, so death would make all the decisions for life. Like what the Yevonites were starting to do. It's why he took a step back and let Yuna and Tidus take the lead in the journey and only nudged them in the right direction.

[@Crysomandiaz]

I just realized what quote I want as a tattoo. Thanks, Dansg08.

[@Dansg08]

[@Crysomandiaz]

You're fast! The red carpet has teeth, ofc ;) Just need to figure out where.

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

butt cheek. always the butt cheek

[@Crysomandiaz]

Too many stretchmarks, gonna be hard to read.
