Final Fantasy X Remaster (PS4) | A Modern Final Fantasy I enjoyed!

[@MTTT19]

My personal favourite Final Fantasy game. Not only do I still have my original PS2 copy of the game but I got it signed by the voice actors of Tidus, Wakka, Kimahri and Rikku.

[@PelvicGaming]

Itsa a great game! And super dope you got the voice actors to sign it!!

[@BikersandBags]

Nice! When / where/how did you get it signed!?

[@MrOnepiecem7]

@@MTTT19 What happened?

[@espaciocoyote3699]

Fun fact, in the vita port they did include the heal-all option! I used it quite often on my playthrough of it, for such a long game having it on the go was probably the reason why I was able to get to the end, and I loved it, music, story, worldbuilding, probably make it my favorite FF that I've played. Also, To Zanarkand is my favorite song because I like the DRAMA, Hymn of the fayth is a close second though

[@patricksabel3958]

I literally wanted to type the same first sentence! 😂😂😂

[@riyuphoenix4533]

I didn't know that, I wished they had the feature in the consol versions. Also triple speed which would have made the platinum way less tedious. I think the PC version had that.

[@SimplyAJ]

So, Besaid is definitely the best map theme in the game. It really sets up that mood of "things are finally kind of sort of okay now!" after the chaos and gloom and doom of the intro. But also Jecht is the best Final Fantasy character, and I will forever want a game that shows his journey just being THE BEST. But can we just address how they act like Auron is this wise ass old man and he's only 35?? I'M older than that!

[@PelvicGaming]

Japan cracks me up with how they view "35". Crazy to me. But yes Besaid is easily the best!

[@Mojoanimeo]

@@PelvicGaming I'm playing through the Yakuza series now. I'm on 2 and the main character, Kiryu, is in his early 30s. EVERYONE in game calls him "old man", "gramps" or just "old guy". It's not that old people!! AAAaagghhh!... Side note aging sux lol

[@Aries_Sinslayer]

Thanks!

[@Spectacular-Spider-Dan]

Yeah, one thing I always loved about this game was that I could inflict status effects on bosses. Spoiler alert for the final boss: It casts heal on itself for like 9999 hp every turn or something, so I cast "Zombie" on it and it caused it to inflict itself with 9999 damage every turn instead. 😆

[@GeenoGab]

The theme is what I loved about Final Fantasy. Not all fantasy genres have to have the European medieval theme. The Southeast Asian beach with some Japanese aesthetics is to me by far the best theme the Final Fantasy genre ever tackled.

[@bottlecapster9586]

What a fantastic day for Khimari-slander

[@Ponaru]

Might want to learn what a "foil" is..

[@bottlecapster9586]

@@Ponaru I'm not sure that I'm using that term incorrectly if you'd like to elaborate. Foils use contrasting personalities and values to highlight each other's individual attributes. From the get-go, Tidus and Yuna come from similar yet incredibly estranged backgrounds, this is part of what fuels their personal journeys. Tidus is loud, brash, whiny, and holds a disregard for general authority figures, especially and including his own father. A lot of the early parts of FFX involve Tidus' values clashing with the ways that Spira has developed, he's the outside lens that we interact with the world through, and whose perspective ultimately allows Spira to end it's eternal cycle. Yuna, by contrast has been raised to be soft-spoken, demure, and slavishly devoted to the expectations that others have placed on her as a result of the veneration of her father. Yuna's self-sacrificing dedication to the happiness of others contrasts against the more selfish and self-serving needs of Tidus who emphasizes the values of the individual in opposition of societal expectation. Through Yuna, we see the pinnacle of what Spira asks of its Summoners, and ultimately what Yevon asks of its people. Ultimate complacency and blind faith in the systems that govern, not for sake of a true ending, but for the prospering of a brief respite from the pains of the world, perpetuated *by* those in power for their own convenience. Yuna has been raised in a system that values the collective over the individual, and her dedication to others and her compassion for the kinds of people (Like Jecht) who Tidus disavows, gives her a level of emotional intelligence and perspective that helps Tidus to find a purpose beyond himself, and helps him to reframe his relationship with his father. Through Tidus, we see the complete antithesis to the status Quo. He has no respect for the ways things are done, and will barrel forth of his own volition if and when it suits him. The Summoner may be in danger, so he goes to help, even when the people responsible tell him he can't. Tidus questions the nature of the world itself in ways that Spira's inhabitants never had, and through his interactions with Yuna, we see how his willingness to break the mold reflects on and changes her. Reverence vs Resentment, Tradition vs Innovation, Collective vs Individual, These are all ways in which the two's perspectives clash with each other, without either really being presented as wholly wrong. They reflect off of each other in ways that makes sense for each of them, and in ways that ultimately brings them together by virtue of their differing lived experiences. Feel free to correct me if I'm still misattributing the term, but I don't think I'm as far off the mark as you seem to think.

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

The laughing scene is honestly brilliant.

[@GameTimeWhy]

I know! Laughing scene is fantastic and makes sense if you've actually been paying attention to the game at all.

[@jonnyreinhardt1961]

I so wanted to like Khimari originally. He’s a blue mage and dragoon but just fails at everything

[@nickwick35]

I adored this game when I played it roughly two years ago. The characters and story kept me hooked and the battle system was excellent. I was crossplaying like no tomorrow on my PS4/Vita which was excellent when I went out and could bring my vita to keep playing.

[@rufuullah6877]

Oh man the soundtrack for this game is beyond words for me, think it was the last game Nubuo did before leaving sqaure enix and what a send off, learned piano just so I could play these pieces.

[@GameTimeWhy]

Nobuo still makes ff music though right?

[@CykaBlyatAlex]

@@GameTimeWhy mostly main themes or arrangements but he does. Just not every single song

[@masterakaron]

HOLY SMOKES!! I've been watching your reviews for around 5 years now, and this has got to be my favorite one so far! The humor was on a whole other level this time - the pain of winning that first Blitzball Match (I've done this before, and also vowed to NEVER do it again), Tai-dus sounding more 'correct' than Tee-dus does (the guy's goofy enough already, you know?), and especially Seymour's voice sounding like Winnie the Pooh! LOL. I never noticed that before, but you're absolutely right! In addition to the superb humor, this video also got me right in the feels... Sure, some of it is because I haven't played FFX in about a decade, but a lot of it was the way you edited this vid - you knew exactly when to place certain music tracks, and it really made this one 'pop'! It's rare that something I watch will give me tears of laughter, OR tears of nostalgia - this review gave me both! Thank you so much, Lady Pelvic - I'd say you definitely 'Leveled Up' as a content creator, as a gaming journalist, and as a writer recently~

[@anderacpharmd]

FFXII-started it on PS2, didn't like it, didn't finish it. Played in 2018 as The Zodiac Age, loved it. Understood why Famitsu gave it a perfect score.

[@christianlopez707]

FF12 definitely is a game that you appreciate when you're older. When you can understand the political elements and dialogue a lot more.

[@Kadaspala]

@@christianlopez707 FF12 is one of those games that kinda became better as I got older as I appreciated the political aspects and dialogue more...it certainly did some great world and narrative building. But it stumbled terrible in the final act, leading many narrative threads to end up ultimately underdeveloped and unfulfilling -- which unfortunately sours the overall story in retrospect. And then the non-story aspects...I have critiques. The gameplay just...didn't really do it for me. I love the Gambit system itself, but found the skills, abilities, etc the game provides to be...lacking. Unlike FFT where job skills were exciting, fun to strategize around, etc... A good majority of FF12's "skills" were the ability to use a piece of equipment, basic stat boosts, etc Others were largely straightforward elemental magic that are fine but well trodden and have blatantly obvious utility on the strategizing front. Other original skills felt unbalanced, a bit too nichè and circumstantial, or just underwhelming. Granted some late game accessories, skills, and (mostly optional) bosses do provide some good strategizing and depth...but that's the thing: you gotta wait until the late game for that. It's akin to FF13's issue of the otherwise fantastic battle system being far too limited in the first several hours to be interesting or fun -- except instead of in the first several hours it applies to all but the last several hours. And while I enjoyed many of its fields and dungeons just fine... The Great Crystal was so inexcusably terrible. Definitely among the worst RPG dungeons ever.

[@christianlopez707]

@Donovan Blair The gameplay doesn't bother me too much. It's basically just taking the ATB system from older games and allowing the characters to move around. I think it also helps that unlike FF13's battle system, I have full control of the characters and their actions.

[@philiphamel8504]

This was one of my first final fantasy games that I actually beat. I remember filling out the entirety of the sphere grids for all the characters. This game has its awkward moments, but I love it regardless. (I'm also a big fan of Tidus' VA. He's a genuinely funny guy)

[@philiphamel8504]

Also, Tidus' VA has a KZbin channel. He talks about the infamous Laughing Scene. He's a fun guy who does some pretty impressive work.

[@pppp7793]

The fact that something like this came out in 2001

[@Htbaa]

I played and finished FFX back in the day on PS2. When the HD remake was released for PS3 and Vita I double dipped (game has cross save!) and finished it again. Loved the game and finishing it always gave me a feeling of emptiness of some sort, like saying goodbye to your friends (forever). X-2 I never really could get into. Played it a bit more on Vita/PS3 but I don’t like how you can easily skip and miss stuff in X-2. Maybe someday I’ll do finish it. Was contemplating on getting it on Switch again…

[@BlackShogun]

This game was just a whole vibe for me growing up! The music, the surrealist blend of modern & fantasy environments, island character designs & architecture. Got it the day it dropped and it was the first FF title I actually beat. Wandering flame is my jam to this day bruh. My favorite in the whole series.

[@redstratus97]

It was great hearing this review LP! FFX is my favorite JRPG of all time for me. You heard that right. I played the PS2 version back in 2010. I was immediately sucked into the world. I was Titus! I wanted to know what happened. Where I was. What to do. Etc. I was lost, just like Titus was. And that connection I had to him was quickly unbreakable not far into the game. The world pulled me in and I loved it. The music has some tracks that ranks up there of best JRPG music of all time for me. I made ring tones of the normal battle and boss battle music of this game and still today I use them with my phone alternating between the two. And I was very much addicted to the story. I felt bad for Yuna but understood the situation. And the revel about what happened to Titus? Wow! But what really put this game over the top for me was the very emotional scene with Titus and Yuna in the lake at night. I got tears in my eyes. The ONLY video game that has managed to do this to me. The only one! No other JRPG scene in history that I have ever played has done that to me. Ever! That scene in the lake seriously gets me every time. I used Kamari. I just took his sphere grid the same route as Auron and he became pretty useful on that route. Lulu is an ok mage but yeah I agree, she is overrated. I’m really glad you gave this game a chance again. Especially since I cherished every moment of it more then a decade ago. I look back very fondly at my experience with it.

[@JustTheGems]

Really loving your whole vibe! I think I largely agree with your points on the game in general. I had sort of a reverse experience with it, though -- I liked it and finished it back on the PS2, but when I went to replay the remaster, I got stuck at the last boss and gave up. 😂

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

6-10 was my favorite era of the franchise. FFX was my first FF game and I immediately played 1-9 after completing it because I loved it so much. I played Tales of Symphonia right after and fell in love with that series as well. I've loved jrpgs ever since.

[@promethiac2641]

XII is a masterpiece. By far the best battle system in the franchise. The entire cast is on par with Auron. The open world structure works better in that game than any JRPG I have ever played.

I started playing Final Fantasy since 8 came out back in 1999, and to me personally, Final Fantasy X is the best one of all. The story and characters were impactful. Not to mention the fun battle mechanics and animations. Truly one of, if not THE greatest game of all time.

[@Shimmy8]

My brain won’t allow me to call him Teedus. I watched a friend play through chunks of this game at a time when it originally came out. It was mind blowing at the time. I never played it though until a few years ago on the switch. While I had a good time, I had no idea it was a linear as it is.

[@femtrooper]

Love this and it makes me want to finish FFX one day...I got so close to the end and then I got stuck and kinda just left it. This was a big FF for me since it was my first one and I remember when it came out it was such a big deal! It looked like a movie! Good memories with it for sure.

[@arkavalon5347]

I can relate with Blitzball. Unlike your playthrough, I was able to clear it after more or less than 2.5 hours trying to get that win through sheer luck (3-2). I'm a bit glad that you didn't bother to test your sanity and try to obtain all the Final weapons via the mini games. I couldn't do Thunder Plains either, let alone the other ones. I had trouble with the ability system on the weapons too. Besaid theme is also my favorite. I wonder if you plan on playing Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age, was it called?

[@ChrisLT]

Great game, I have a cover of Otherworld on my channel because this came out during my angsty teen years. Still prefer the story in XII, though.

[@MotherKojiro]

I haven't actually played this one; I watched my significant other play this, and as soon as I saw the fight with the chocobo eater, I was like, "This ain't Final Fantasy; this is Wario Ware with hair gel; ain't havin' it!" That was before dodging lightning, where there was this absolute cartoon moment, where you hear F- and all the birds scatter from the trees; I'd had my music up pretty loud ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR, and I couldn't hear it over that swear. Don't even mention the chasing butterflies to her... That all said, I think you've inspired me to at least check out the soundtrack; I really like what I heard here. If you're into that, you might like the Anodyne 2 soundtrack; it's very chill overall, too, and reminds me a little of what was in this video.

[@felix_kunx]

SAME. I played this game as a kid and couldn't beat it, and came back as an adult with vengeance and beat it down (all celestial weapons). I also call him TIDE-us because it just is better and also goes with the whole ocean theme (tides?). Bless your heart for doing the blitzball thing - I always hated it and was so happy it's optional.

Though I still think it's a good game.

[@BombShopUniverse]

You're not wrong on how you pronounce his name. Because in the states that's how we say it, so it would be assumed that if the MCs named was voiced, it would be be pronounced depending on the region it was localized. Anyway glad you enjoyed it. I hope they bring back turn based in FF 😭

[@Calvansbagoftricks]

Also if you like FFX's battle system Megaman X command mission uses a similar one.

[@TheRedGoon]

NGL out of the cast Tidus Wakka and Auron were probably the characters I liked the most for their development. Rikku was fine to help lighten the mood along with Wakka and Tidus, and Yuna's fine as a character you're meant to care about and want to have a happy ending. Lulu was definitely alot more flat. I feel like she could have been more snippy and cold, but have more depth as she warms up. She should have had more of a story focus, basically. Khimari most definitely got done dirty as a character. He was just "Bodyguard who gets dunked on by a couple of his own people", and nothing else, and I feel like more could have been done. Honestly when I played this game as a kid, I barely used him, so when I had to do that *one* fight later with him, I nearly panicked because he was so under-utilized lol. And yeah like you, I prefer to pronounce Tidus as "Tide-us" just cuz, well, it sounds like it relates to the ocean, water, that thing he's often associated with. Just makes more sense!

[@GrayLanternPPA]

I've always liked Kimahri. His overdrives are really cool and I love the freedom you get on the sphere grid with him. I always started him down Wakka's, then swung into Lulu's area to get the tier 3 elemental spells way before her.

[@saltyk9869]

I like to take him from Wakka to Auron. His weapons often have piercing and having two hard hitters doesn't hurt. Though starting him with Rikku's path to pick up Steal isn't terrible, just don't have him go far down it. Rikku's stat growth is just not great for him.

It's all your fault Pelvic!! I beat this on ps2, ps4, vita, and pc! Because of YOU!l,,,,,,, I just downloaded it to my switch to play again lol😂

[@PelvicGaming]

I won't apologize!

[@narkona1084]

Loved the review. I agree that FFX is the last FF game that I sort of liked (not counting the MMOs). I basically consider it the beginning of the end, namely with the removal of the world map and starting the hallway map design trend. Every game after has been mediocre at best, including FF7R imo. Nowadays it feels like SE is ashamed of their roots and is trying to make FF have greater mass appeal by ditching more and more RPG elements which just leaves us with so-so action games. Yakuza: LAD showed up that a series can successfully switch genres, but is an uphill battle and I don't have a lot of faith in SE remaining. What amazes me the most is the pass FF gets from its name alone. For example, FF15 was a blatantly unfinished game before dlc. After all the DLC (which took years), it wasn't much better, but if you check the metacritic you wouldn't assume that. I'm hopeful for FF16, but deep down I feel that it looks like more spectacle over gameplay.

That isn't really accurate they still follow the old formula with games like Bravery Default, Live A Live & Octopath. The series has to evolve and that involves making the most of new technology, taking risk & being a trendsetter for the genre. 10-12 were a breath of fresh air & even 13 had some qualities I'd put over the old games such as vocals in the ost & it's more real time action elements in turn based combat.

[@wiseguy240Winston]

@@jaretco6423 Like I said before evolution comes with risk. Never said it was better just eventual & necessary. Also I disagree with u on 12 I enjoyed it and its generally well received by reviewers and fans. As for 13 and it's sequels I gotta break down a few things u said about it that's horribly inaccurate. 13 isn't a great game but to some it is and I can say the graphics, ost, combat, customization & mythology is it's strong points but the way they went about the linearity unlike 10 was bad. Personally I enjoyed 13 as it was like a cenimatic arcade RPG which is the best I can describe it. As for the sequels apparently u never played them because their nothing like FFX. 13-2 isn't linear and is more stage based than linear map. You can back track and find areas and events that open more new areas or alternative versions of an already unlocked stage. 13-3 is a literary full world Map but not on the same scale as FF15. They have literary nothing in common to FFX.

@CruiseHrchill617 I don't see how it isn't accurate, I said that a series can change genres, just that FF hasn't done a very good job with it. Like I mentioned, no one was too upset with Yakuza becoming an rpg because Like a Dragon was actually good. But you can't take the most famous jrpg and expect old fans to love a very different direction, especially if those new entries are middling at best. I agree that games need to innovate, but all long-running series do that, and very few have changed genres to do so. Bravely Default and Octopath are fine, but they are low-budget games and are not where they are putting their effort. Live a Live originally released in 1994, so I'm not sure how that helps.

Welcome back Lady P. I see youre rocking the blue lipstick for your favorite character Kimahri. 😂 Also, Blitzball isnt that bad. If you have Jecht Shot, its insanely easy. Especially once you start building a decent team.

[@mikeclinton5629]

Are you going to play final fantasy 7?

[@creggieb]

Now that you tell me Seymour sounds like Winnie the Pooh, I can't unhear it.

[@retrogroovtv]

dope channel just subbed 😎🔥 i gave up on this game when i played it on ps2 then i got it again on ps vita still playing it 😂 fun game !

[@ricardobelmont5984]

Awesome review!! I was so hyped for blitz ball too. Then I played haha I need to go back to both. They used to be my ex's favorite so kinda avoided playing.

[@ThePotatoWitch]

FFX is one of my favourite Final Fantasies. I love getting ridiculously overpowered with the sphere grid, I love the story, I love the music. Absolutely hate a lot of the mini-games, and those ultimate weapon requirements can go all the way to hell, but aside from that, I think it's a pretty good game.

[@PelvicGaming]

I 100% agree with you

[@Yeaster]

Your journey with FFX mirrors mine. I remember hating it as a kid but don't remember why. So I bought the remaster because of everyone saying how good the game is. Clearly, I missed something 😆

[@shayoko6]

I played the ps2 version. But never finished it. Got to some area i think started with "moon" And never loaded the game again. I also despise blitz ball. And suffered that first game until i won. Because i wanted to win badly and see if their was a reward for it. Other than wakka winning. I sont think there was. It actually got even more annoying in x2. Becuase you do not control anything other than who is playing..100% specator. Slow game and you lost based on stats. It ia very frustrating. Beside that however. U love X2. I love playing as female characters and the dress speres were an exciting mechanic.

[@ChampDietingAndFitness]

I got into the evercrisis beta and it's actually really fun. The turn based system is pretty fast in it which makes it really fun.

[@GuiPaim]

I don't want to be that guy, but I was really hoping for a Suikoden V video... : P

[@Fade2BlackSS]

I'd love to hear her opinion on that as well. It was hard for me to get through personally.

[@thefoxoflaurels3437]

I think FFX came out and an important time for me and I remember it more fondly the older I get.

[@Emmj91]

Whats GOOD! Ah I remember when I was younger and my game disc would freeze when Anima was summoned in Luca. Took me years to finally give it a proper playthough and it was worth the wait. Still my favorite Final Fantasy Game, Music, and Cast.
