I love the video, but I can't help but notice that you used my chocobo Catcher mini game video in your video

[@YOSEPHALLEN92]

What's this moneygrab shit

[@pancake_ghosty]

I still can't believe they made the game look that good on ps2 in 2001. I was just a little kid then and I really saw the characters as completely real. It's been 22 years and it's still impressive visually

[@Treeplot]

Some of the cutscenes still look great to this day

[@xEvilRaptorx]

​@@pancake_ghostyevery winter I think of when I played this game for the first time. Even as an adult I miss the magic feeling from sitting in my comfies, watching the snow fall and being amazing by the video cut scenes and hearing voice acting. This game will always have a place in my memories

[@devilinmcnicol8399]

I gotta admit my favorite part in the whole game is a convo between tidus and Yuna "are you ok" "no not really" "what do you wanna do" "scream really loud" *awkward silence* AHHHHHHHHH

​​@@delsingray5923 because square enix needs to pander to the 2% of it's fanbase that are either virgins or scared of relationship reality.

[@jayw3688]

I don't care what anyone says, playing FF10 for the first time when I was a kid is what got me into the franchise and still to this day is my favorite FF. Ive played it to 100% completion with 900+ hours on my original file. Now that I have the PAL version that has Seance and the Dark Aeons etc., after I finish FF7 Remake, I'm going back to Zanarkand to finish it. The game had a very cool passive point/ability system and overall a REALLY good game during it's time.

[@stoybenxi7395]

[@metaldiceman]

Damn, 900? Did you max out the stats for every single blitzball player? I had 500 hrs and maxing out my blitzball stats to 255 is literally the only thing I hadn't done.

[@Sctn187]

I hate when people complain about cut scenes. When I was growing up I lived for cut scenes and so did my friends. To see your beloved characters fully animated in the best graphics possible for the time and don't even get me started about when they actually added voices to it. FFX was the first game I had ever played that was fully voice acted and it blew my mind I didn't even have a PS2 yet and playing at my friends was amazing

[@Marika_ER]

I love that laugh scene. Tidus is a jock that lost his entire world and is a fish out of water. He learns that his guardian is here and might know a way back but he can't go back and the only way forward is to keep going into the unknown. He's frustrated and sad. Then comes Yuna, these 2 have never really talked. Small talk sure but not any heart to hearts. She gives him her method to fake being happy so he can keep going. He makes fun of that method, she joins him, and they both end up laughing and their connection became stronger

[@patrickholzer6415]

I find the belief in breathing devices or mutations of blitzball players pretty funny, since in the game itself, you can talk to the Besaid Aurochs when you first enter Besaid, and they literally talk about how they are the worst team because many of them can't hold their breath long enough. One of them even talks about how impressed he is that Wakka can hold his breath for the entire game, without taking a break. It's 100% clear that its about holding breath

[@Zanji1234]

Fun Fact: the German translation of FFX is based on the japanese script and NOT the voice over. Therefore several times in the game the characters say stuff differently than it is written in the script below. ESPECIALLY in the final when Yuna said "i love you" but the script is "thank you"

[@tamptasian857]

Are you sure about the fact about the translation changes? In the JP voice over for the final scene Yuna says, 「ありがとう」which translates to, "Thank you". The consensus among fans is that it was intentionally written that way in Japanese because of cultural habits in communicating gratitude and romantic feelings. Such that, it's more common to express romantic feelings in an indirect way, such as with thanks over a direct and forward statement. I do recall that many dubs, most notably the English dub, they chose to change it to, "I love you" instead. This change for dubs I do appreciate because it's a change that more accurately depicts the meaning of the script for a different language and culture. Where Yuna saying thanks in German or English, would not properly communicate the intended emotional message of the orignal script/voice over.

[@Zanji1234]

@@tamptasian857 dude...I played it and the script (translation) for the German version is from the Japanese script. The voices are still the American one The German text also never mentions "pyreflies" but call them Illumina so you hear the characters talk about pyreflies but read the sub Illumina. Also they called the Aeons Bestia in the subs

[@diogocoelho3450]

So you are saying that if I want the real deal i will have to learn either japanese or german... First time i see a game with hard mode on story.

[@Zanji1234]

@@diogocoelho3450 well... it's confusing sometimes. Characters talking about Pyreflies when the subtitles mention Illumina, The characters talk about Aeons when the subtitles call them Bestia (btw: also in the german strategy book). And sometimes the whole sentence is different from what the characters actually say. You don't miss anything (the general meaning is still the same but sometimes the tone was completly different) but it was confusing

[@nuclearcrayons3511]

easily one of the GOATs of Gaming. FFX will always be one of my favorite games ever and I love going back to it at least once every few years to remind myself of how great it is. It still holds up even by today's standards. If you have never played it, I highly encourage you to give it a shot

[@cortneybrown2257]

the kiss cutscene underwater I take for more of a *vibe* than them actually being underwater for that long. Like they kiss and go under but its like when moments seem to go in slow motion when you're with a special person, so she didn't actually have to "breathe underwater" for that scene as in *reality* it was more like a couple seconds

[@lynayra6492]

I get that it's "Tee-dus," but I much prefer "Tide-us" because it reflects the entire water theme surrounding the story.

[@Moon_Presence]

I honestly think his name is supposed to be pronounced Tie-Dus

[@dangerousdays2052]

It is actually pronounced Tit-us because he wanted to grab them melons.

[@diogocoelho3450]

I always said tee-dus rare portuguese win for having the same fonetics as japanese. Still didnt help with caith sith or xin zhao.

[@v.i.loudboy]

[@metroidjones122]

Totally agree on the laughing scene. Yes, it is cringe. But yes, it is supposed to be. I don’t like that it’s the main example people use to describe “bad voice acting in the early 2000s video games.”

[@shay4261]

when i watch a video about ffx i count how many comments i scroll past before i see someone mention the laugh scene. i got an impressive 15 :)

[@grayman9701]

Yeah it amazes me how many people took it with a grain of salt, and stirred it to fit the cringe narative. It’s exactly what it is suppose to be an outward expression used to cover up his underlying depression

[@biking2cruze]

I can imagine being tied up before Laughing Octopus as she demands that I “laugh with her!” That’s how I pictured that forced Tidus laugh (though I’m actually crying while doing it).

[@lactofermentation]

Baten Kaitos should be the shining example there.

[@amandamckay4278]

This! I think it’s unfair considering Tidus just found out about his father and literally everyone is shitting on him at any given moment. Yes the cringe is there but so is the realism of “oh shit, this is my life” kinda vibe 😅

[@killtyrant]

Bruhhhhh!! I would pay full retail for a FFX - Zero where it follows the story of Jecht. God, what a missed opportunity

[@Ranixo286]

I'd be a bit hesitant...the game kinda feeds us that "oh no Jecht wasn't actually THAT bad!" And it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. So...I would hope a prequel doesn't continue trying to redeem him and just shows him for the flawed person he was.

[@killtyrant]

@@Ranixo286 That's not the feeling I got. A decent chunk of the game already happened before Tidus even got to Spira. So jecht's redemption already happened but though the viewpoint of Tidus, nothing changed. It's only through collecting the spheres and progression through the storyline that we even see a glimpse of the heros journey that jecht went through. If I'm being particularly honest, Tidus' mom is someone I would like to know more about. As it stands, after Jecht disappeared. She fell into a depression and stopped taking care of Tidus. The fact she was in the far planes denotes she passed away but i dont recall the game going much into detail as to how or when that happened. Though that's more of a side thing for me.

[@diogocoelho3450]

I always defended that should have been ffx-2 instead of that abortion.

What cracks me up as a Spanish person about the Macarena Temple scene, is that they made Tidus go "Aaaaay" when told it's actually called Macalania Temple... Which is the sound people make when singing said song, right after saying Macarena. Of all things to have attention to detail, I didn't expect the Japanese and the localization teams to get that right. Such a stupid detail that anybody here in Spain would notice instantly - and literally nobody else.

Worst FF. Absolutely linear, undemanding combat, cringe voice acting, stupid protagonist and uninteresting villains. Vastly overrated. Doesn’t hold a candle to the psx trilogy.

I played this game as a kid and it took me an entire year to beat. I got stuck at a mini-boss and since it was my first time playing an RPG I didn't know you had to grind your characters to make them stronger. Once I figured out how to do that I demolished the rest of the game. Still one of my favorite memories.

The length of FFX’s cutscenes sold me on the series as FFX was the first Final Fantast I played and it came out when I was in university. Since then I’ve been hooked on the series, gone back and played all the mainline games, and the reason they hooked me was the depth of the story.

The graphics in this game were completely mind-blowing at the time. I remember watching my friend play and seeing the FMVs and just...my mouth hung open. They looked real! It's dated now, sure, but back then it was truly awesome. I'm sure that's how my parents felt when they saw Star Wars in the theaters.

[@michaeldugger8436]

Still my favorite Final Fantasy of all time. It has is flaws sure, but I played through every one from 7 on. We only really had one TV we could use with our PS2 and it's the first time I remember my parents setting up the VCR to record shows for later so they could watch me play a video game. During routine battles or progression between major events, my step mom would do crosswords and my dad would go get his telescope set up to track whatever might look cool that night. My whole family was glued to the TV when I took on the final boss in the main story, and not a dry eye in the house at the end. The music is legendary, the cutscenes were mind-blowing and despite being a fairly early PS2 title it looked absolutely incredible. Hell even the PS2 version holds up well when emulated today, so long as you turn up the internal render resolution and have a GPU capable of doing good texture upscaling, all of which should be possible with anything faster than a potato. Hell, even my girlfriend years later in college watched me replay through the whole thing when I finally built a computer that could bump it up to 1080p+.

Going to PS2, with the DVD drive, did wonders for this game. The quality of the cinematics was incredible.

[@Jotari]

It's pretty reasonable why something never happened. Their story is told completely in the game already. We know what their character arcs are. A prequel wouldn't actually provide any new content. We already know how they lived, died and felt about it through the spheres they left behind and their appearance in the game. A prequel focusing on them would either have to invent some kind of new threat for them to contend with other than Sin to fill time or just be a complete rehash of everything we already know happened with no actual intrigue. And they all just die at the end too; it's going to be hard to make that narratively satisfying, given their sacrifices aren't heroic or meaningful, which was the entire point. It sounds like a good idea because the game makes you like those three characters, but from an actual plot construction stand point it would be very hard to deliver something that isn't just fanservice. It would probably be better to have a prequel set centuries earlier focusing on one of the other high summoners, as, even if they have an equally pointless sacrifice, at least you have more room to construct an actual original story.

[@user-lg5xu6id5j]

@@Jotari I mean that's what they kinda did with ff crisis core and the ff7 remake. I think a 10 prequel could work and maybe include something to lead into a ff10 3

[@Jotari]

@@user-lg5xu6id5j They actually had a lot more room to develop a story for Crisis Core than an Auron/Jecht/Braska story. We knew some of the stuff leading up to Zach's death, but he was otherwise a blank slate. He died at the end, but they could still do anything they wanted with him prior to that point. Hence we got a plot with Angeal and Genesis and the like. In other words, Zack didn't have an arc in Final Fantasy VII, he was just the guy that helped and protected Cloud. How he felt about it, where he started off and how he changed over time was never explicit, this is markedly different to the Final Fantasy X backstory characters where we know exactly these details.

I knew it was pronounced that way because of an old commercial on a DVD that I've never been able to recall or find. It was some kind of ad for Final Fantasy X that started with scrolling text, displaying each FF title chronologically, with imagery from each game, speeding up with each title, and once it reached FFX, it showed a sprawling view of Zanarkand (or another city) and the narrator said, "Join Tee-dus on the next Final Fantasy adventure..." or something to that effect.

Ive always pronounced Tidus as TIDE-USS because of the aquatic vibes. TEE-DUSS does role off the tongue better, ive even heard TIDD-USS which i also dont mind. but its Tide-Uss for the win because of the connotations. He literally washes up on a beach into the story, he spends the first half of the game receding and the second half growing and swelling and finally breaks like the crest of a wave, the obvious water theme, he comes and he goes like the tide from the perception of the other characters.

[@emobassist]

Yeah I'll always call him tide-us as well it just makes more sense vocabulary wise

[@tomithy_lo]

So technically his name is pronounced like Tee-dus because his name is based on the Arabic word for the sun "Tida" pronounced Teeda. It's really not that big of a deal though. Most English speakers tend to say "Tide-us" because we already have English words that sound like that.

01:30 off to a good start, since the sandragora skip hasn't been mentioned lemme fill you in, when riku follows you through bikanel desert she can actually push you past the trigger of the otherwise mandatory sandragora fight right before home, this skip has been there for all these years but just has been discovered in 2022 (IIRC ) 15:20 that's why the cutscene Remover Mod from the speedrun community is such a blessing in general 33:30 I'm convinced X-3 is going to happen as soon they wrapped up FF7 Remake in general. As a fun fact, blitzball teams that haven't made it into the final game would've been a nice addition as well, like the zanarkand abes, their opposing team in the FMV (Zanarkand Duggles), the Bevelle Bells and the Yocun Nomads (crusaders) Good video regardless :)

Nah x-3 will never happen and any other final fantasy remake. It has only happened with 7 because it is so damn popular and has so much content released already. It's kept it's popularity up since it's release, none of the other Final Fantasy games have done what 7 has

[@Magnymbus]

Gotta be honest, I'm a sucker for a good cutscene. That's the stuff that keeps me going through the boring bits. Legitimately the only reason I stuck with Kingdom Hearts is because I wanted to know what the hell was going on with that first cutscene (The same one that some find contrived). Honestly KH1 had one of the best JRPG hooks I've ever seen. The whole game remained mysterious and foreboding, yet lighthearted and heartwarming, all the way up to and beyond the end of the game. All the obvious loose ends and cliffhanger endings are probably a big reason why the games have such a dedicated following... Even if we're quickly outgrowing the emotional maturity of the cast. A bunch of reckless kids/teens that never even finished school running around with world changing power at their fingertips, trying to stop some nihilistic old dudes from breaking their reality more than it already is. Classic JRPG premise. Also, don't you ever tell me that Kingdom Hearts isn't a post apocalypse.

I was hoping he was gonna bring this up but didn’t. I still can’t get over tee-dus, it just sounds so stupid. And at least for English, Tie-dus fits the water theme so much better. Idk why I still hope they retcon the official pronunciation in future projects lol. I mean selphie did already say it once…

[@RobzdaBlade]

@@extra4542 I dont give a shit; me and my friends all called this boy tie-dus cuz he's the blitz-ball champ. Like... I cant get over it. I GET ENGLISH; it's spelt how it sounds. We're not retarded. It's just Tie-dus DOES sound way cooler and better.

[@TheSaintBigFoot]

"Tea"dus is the British version

[@RBRat3]

The pronunciation for "Tidus" can be found way earlier, In the dvd movie set for Final Fantasy Spirits Within there is a trailer for the "upcoming" game Final Fantasy X on the bonus disc where the bassy narrator says "A young adventurer named Tidus".

[@tehjamerz]

Ah hah, so it is Tidus, and not Tidus

[@BananaBlack2077]

I could've lived my life not knowing that some people think Wakka is pregnant, but here I am.

[@robertagren9360]

Or that Chappu father is Wakka and Lulu loved her son more than her husband and their relation fell apart of his death. Why Lulu give advice to Tidus to marry for love and not because of love.

[@seanbuck2310]

Thanks man what a truly awesome video, I learnt some new things I didn’t yet know and I loved the pace and explanations. Thanks again.

[@ancillarity]

In the game "The World of Final Fantasy", one of the main characters (not Tidus) also did the famous Tidus laugh when he arrived at a beach - as a joke and as a reference to FFX. To which, the other character reacted with "I don't know how to respond to that so I will just ignore you"

[@austinmitchell5930]

Lol

[@Zelphiez]

"And even darker this is the first game in the mainline series that features a main character that is not present at the end of the game." Aerith: "Am I a joke to you?"

6:40 Hibiscus fits Yunas character because it blooms in the evening. No it doesn't. Hibiscus blooms during day and closes in the evening.

The blitzball “glitch” worked in the OG too

[@corsairthimbleriggeriii8248]

Wedge from ffvii is in the first village where wakka finds tidus. The truly weird thing is he's surrounded by cats. He's even dressed similar.

[@Paul20489]

I love it when they do sneaky little references like this

[@EerieCait]

I would like to note the Easy Blitzball Win Glitch was in the original PS2 NA release as well. I used it much as a kid lol

[@bennieboi20]

One other thing that was not mentioned is that the blitzball glitch existed within the original PAL version as well. I remember doing this as a kid, but it’s difficult to find video footage of it. I might have to record it myself

[@Domura]

Holy shit I almost dropped my coffee when I heard the correct pronunciation of Cait Sith, finally there's another that understands!

I always thought that the reason they could be underwater for so long is because the water is infused with Pyreflies, i could've sworn someone mentions it in-game, at least when it comes to Blitzball.

[@shintenkai1648]

Yo, its a fantasy game. There does not need to be a realistic explanation for everything. Plus you have real life divers that can hold their breath for 5mins +.... each half of a blitzball game is 3-4 mins. So if you're that desperate for an explanation, do some real life learning.

Hearing the Hymn of the Faith reminds me of the time i heard a buddy humming it, when i asked if he was humming the Hymn of the Faith, his eyes went wide as he said i was the first person to know what he was humming and most people thought he was humming the Halo main menu theme. Lol

In regards to Tidus' pronunciation, Tidus' name is pronounced both ways in Kingdom Hearts (with the clip you provided of Wakka) and Kingdom Hearts 2 where Kairi is walking with Selphie on Destiny Islands and Selphie mentions Tidus and pronounces it Tide-Us Seems she knows something we don't.

[@bernhardriemann1563]

The both Chocobo races were very hard, but i managed it with many tries, tears and angee 😅

The connection to VII is pretty neat.

[@marikasdaughter6263]

About Tidus' hair colour... My hair went bleach blonde the entire head of it when I was really young every single summer. However when I was like 5-6 it stopped doing that, now I have dark brown hair. It definitely happens.

[@commiecomrade2644]

Fun fact: Don't Worry be Happy actually came from an Indian Guru named Meher Baba. Bobby McFerrin never credited him but has admitted that is where he got the phrase. Meher Baba was born in 1894 and died in 1969. He still has followers today and the religion is recognized and protected just like any other. Meher baba kept a vow of silence for 44 years until his death. He did lots of work with the poor in India. There is a spiritual center in Myrtle Beach SC that is 498 acres. My grand father helped build it and was a devout follower.

I got all of the ultimate weapons for all characters. It was well worth it. I have a specific save game i go back to sometimes, just to battle dark eions and penance.

[@yomilemondragon1721]

If Square ever makes that prequel, I'd much rather have one set in Yunalescas time that one focused on Braska, Auron, and Jecht. So much of Yunalesca, Zaon, and Yu Yevons story is in mystery, to the point where it feels completely brushed over. You only even find out about Yu Yevon being Yunalescas father from an entirely missable Maechen monologue in a location you're unlikely to revisit in the main game! (Surprised that wasn't in the iceberg tbh lol) It wouldn't need to answer every question, as I think it's better to maybe leave those figures themselves shrouded in mystery, but a story set in that time that fleshes out the story of the origins of Sin and summonings and gave us enough insight into the zeitgeist of pre-Sin Zanarkand to come up with our own ideas on how Sin, the Fayth, etc came about would be really interesting.

[@jamesbates9479]
