Same. Yes FF 6 & 7 are standard classics, but FF X was both my introduction & still my favorite. Yes there's things U can nitpick, but this is an experience, more than just another video game. The music, the characters, the story, the strategies, & the brilliance of this story remains 1 of my all time favorites.

[@LuisGarcia-rg9mf]

Congratulations on joining the club of those who have been torn apart with this story. For me the greatest FF ever, i have so much to say about it. It is a story about passing, death and its acceptance, as much as about how to cope with the high expectations everybody (the society) has on how you should conduct your life. Great game, always shed a tear with that ending.

Yaaaayyy I sobbed like that the very first time too

[@nezkeys79]

This game is an absolute masterpiece for so many reasons. Still makes me cry buckets every time The only other endings that do this to me are the FF13 trilogy endings. 13-3 ending in particular is arguably better than 10's 13 divided opinion but it's an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish so if you go into it with an open mind you will enjoy it

[@edgybravo4287]

I've completed hundreds and hundreds of games in my life maybe even close to a thousand at this point and no game ending has ever hit me like FFX. There is something about those two main characters that are just likeable maybe it's their innocence or maybe because they are genuinely good. But you wanted to see them end up happy which is so bitter sweet and sad to see it end the way it did but it's such a good ending and the best I've ever seen in a game. The FFX ost is the best video game ost I've ever heard I don't remember a single theme from the game that was not amazing in fact I think it's so good that it's anime level good.

[@AD3SPG]

I cried when i was 12 and i cried many more times as an adult.

[@CeaseNY]

I was mad you did that grenade but I love this, I just beat this earlier today for the first time in years and been spamming reaction videos, nice!!!

[@Wewius]

You seem a bit confused what happened after the Jecht battle. After your last conversation with Mika, you found out that Yu Yevon is the reason Sin is reborn every time. The reason for this is that Yu Yevon possess the Final Aeon and forms a new Sin out of it. After defeating Jecht, Yu Yevon leaves Braskas Final Aeon (the floating spirit orb thing). The Aeons asked Yuna to summon them during the final battle because Yu Yevon would possess them and make a weaker "Mini Sin" out of them. After all Aeons were defeated and there was no place left to run, Yu Yevon could be directly defeated and the endless cycle was broken.

[@cakerins]

Ahh that makes perfect sense! Wow what great writing!

[@ArmandoDoval]

​@cakerins another great detail about that scene that's easy to miss is that Tidus catching Jecht after the fight is a callback to when he first sees Yuna coming out of the cloister and he's too slow to catch her (Kimahri grabs her instead.) It shows how much he's grown from the start of his journey that he's able to catch the person he cares about this time around.

[@vato32_]

Awesome man! One of my favorite FFs. We all reacted that way when we first played it.

[@SigmaTheWhiteFlame]

Just a tidbit in the original Japanese, instead of saying "I love you" Yuna says in an emotional tone "Thank you." It hits different in it's own unique way.

[@Terralventhe]

Yeah. It has an almost 'I let you go' feeling to it. Even though it's not what she really wants.

[@user-ww1gk5ku1w]

56:42 In the original Japanese dub she says “arigato” which means “thank you” not “I love you”, just a small trivia👀

[@WeAllPlayBall]

The song Suteki Da Ne from the FMV scene with Yuna & Tidus in the pond ; easily became a loved song of mine when I got to that part.

[@JesusSalvador545]

I had the game in my play 2 when was a kid, the theme to zanarkand really makes me cry everytime a hear it 😭 is so nostalgic.

[@kai713]

Great reaction! I played this when it first came out and I literally have HUNDREDS of hours into this game because I love reliving the story

[@leonfurry]

I swear Zanarkand is the most powerful piece to ever exist from FFX. From the first songs you hear to the last. The bitter sweet emotions you fully understand by the end just brings back the sorrow and happiness it entails.

[@mikemunoz7773]

This game will remain a masterpiece the story to the gameplay. This ending was something special and will always touch the heart of new and returning players for years to come.

[@gad8542]

I think it's really cool that you got to experience this. When I was 9 years old, I sobbed over not getting to see Yuna and Tidus anymore. I still tear up at the ending every time. We cry because it meant something to us. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time with the series.

The characters and their growth in X is remarkable. The thing that hurts the most is the fact that Tidus and Yuna knew their romance was definitely not the priority, hence they tried to keep their goal clear, in particular Yuna. That's why after everything they went through, they deserved their happy ending...

[@MetalJaska]

I remember very well the first time i saw this. It took me a while because it was my first rpg ever, and some of the Bosses gave me a hard time, so i was really excited after defeating sin. And after losing auron i thought that we were finished suffering, but then the ending vegan. I cried my eyes out. Did not really see that coming. Before that moment there was another one bringing me to tears, that was when tidus found out that yuna would have to die to defeat sin - together with the music it got me. But the end is just perfect. Plot, Camera, music, timing, it has everything. And yunas speech at the very end Hits everyone pretty hard who has lost a beloved person. I had not yet in these days back in 2002, but today there are many, some of them very young like tidus. I gets me on another level today. Never forget them Thank you for sharing your first experience with this masterpiece 😍

I'm always able to keep it together until that very last moment where Yuna says "never forget them" and it leads into Suteki da Ne. Just so expertly edited and cinematic, the perfect cap on a highly investing story. I really do think this is the best FF mainline entry.

[@cakerins]

Yes indeed. It now lose it hearing Yuffie say “the dreams that have faded”. Knowing now Tidus was a dream, that line hits HARD.

[@jeffreypost5670]

No one is ready for this ending during their first playthrough. But even when we know what to expect after seeing it again and again, it’s still an emotional rollercoaster. Zanarkand is my favorite song ever. Nothing beats it to me. This is my favorite ff game.

[@cakerins]

I really thought I could handle it 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@jopabr24]

In response to the frequent "What is this?" And "I have no idea what's happening right now!" The entity you're fighting there at the end is Yu Yevon, the former ruler of Zanarkand from the time of its ancient war with Bevelle. When Bevelle was on the verge of defeating Zanarkand, Yu Yevon gathered his people together and had them transform themselves into Fayth, the statues seen atop of the mountain as you pass into the ruins of Zanarkand. He used the...faith of the fayth to summon an eternal dream world in which they could live forever, appropriately called Dream Zanarkand. Before it was done, though, he did one more thing -- he created Sin. Sin is essentially a kind of living armor that Yu Yevon wears to ensure his immortality. He also gave Sin a set of instructions to destroy any and all settlements over a certain size, and to ensure that any sign of machina technology would also be obliterated on sight. Essentially, no civilization would ever be able to rise in power again without being obliterated by Sin. However, in order to ensure that Sin would not completely wipe out all life, he gave his daughter, Lady Yunalesca, the secret of the Final Summoning, the only way to stop Sin. Through the Final Summoning, a summoner can call into being a powerful Aeon which can "destroy" Sin. However, in doing so, their Final Aeon would always be possessed by Yu Yevon, who again resides within Sin. Yu Yevon would possess the Aeon and use its energies as the new core of Sin, slowly rebuilding the creature over the next 10 years. This period came to be known as The Calm. Sooooooo, what you're seeing here at the end of the game is the party realizing that the only way to TRULY defeat Yu Yevon, is to also destroy all of the Aeons. There cannot be even a single Aeon left alive, or else Yu Yevon would have a form he could possess, a form he could steal to re-create Sin. So Yuna is force to call into being her aeons -- her friends who have helped her through so much -- allow Yu Yevon to possess them, and then destroy them. That wriggly little bug thing you see after they've all been defeated is Yu Yevon's true and final form. Defeating it means defeating him (and Sin) forever.

[@stendaalcartography3436]

I love watching people get emotionally wrecked by this game's ending. Only those who lived through it knows. That "noooooo" when he realize Tidus is going too had me spinning again. The "I love you", the high five with dad, the whistling at the harbor. T_T fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
