ive finished this game so many times in my 31 years of life now. same here. everytime i see it, i burst into tears. Plus i went to the final fantasy distant worlds orchestra past year. when they played to zanarkand i got goosebumps and had tears in my eyes, feeling this exact sadness mixed with the positive emotions coming from seeing this orchestra live.

@@Poitisan It's a consequence of catharsis. Catharsis itself is the process by which we feel strong emotions when watching an emotionally charged play/movie/etc, which in turn helps us expunge our own negative emotions.

[@Rakshiir]

I'd argue anyone who doesn't show any emotions while playing FF10 is emotionally dead. The game is great at making you laugh at times, it can make you cringe at times (Laughing scene, and I do think it is supposed to do that, and succeeds with honor), and has several moments including the end that will just hit you right in the feels.

[@spidermoiz]

@@Rakshiir 100% agree, ff X was the best FF ever got.

[@Slamraptor]

Same here ^^

[@jy1178]

The Macalania scene is so perfectly done. You can tell how desperately Yuna wanted to take Tidus' offer on abandoning the huge burden on her shoulders, that would ultimately lead to her death, and just living a normal life with her loved ones. Her breaking down into tears knowing she can't just give up the pilgrimage because if she did, some other summoner would just die in her place and she wouldn't be able to forgive herself for it. It's such a powerful scene. Yuna was such a strong willed, selfless character, and that's why she's my favorite FF character. She had so much on her shoulders and took it all in stride. All for the sake of others. Truly a beautiful character.

[@teshtishtoshtesh3218]

That's why her sending dance scene is the basis for the game logo, I think. Sure, we're following Tidus as the POV character, but Yuna is the backbone of this story.

[@AkibaMomoro]

Its why they handled the next main protag Vaan in a way. He isnt really the MC of the story, much more so the narrator and perspective of it. ​@teshtishtoshtesh3218

[@user-uu6ei9oy7c]

What always gets me the transformation in Tidus. He didn't want Yuna sacrificing herself, would have ok with abandoning the quest if it meant saving her - and in the end, he sacrifices himself to save her, to save Spira.

I've never cried to a movie, book or even story, before or after. When the piano starts, as Tidus starts to fade.. That's when I knew for sure and the tears came, the way this game grabbed my heart, how all the pieces came together in the end, this is why it's, in my opinion, the best game that I've ever played, reason why I started playing piano,I just had to be able to play To Zanarkand, and I did. :) I was 12, now pushing 34, still the best.

[@Fenrir160202]

I have played through and beaten this game several times over the course of my life, I tear up every time I see the underwater kissing scene, every time Jecht dies, every time Auron gets sent, and I sob every time I see the ending. Especially the moment that Yuna phases through Tidus as she tries to stop him from leaving. I love this game.

1:51:28 pause it right there. That is my favorite scene in the whole game. So much to unwrap in that one frame. Yuna, smiles when she’s sad. She smiles when she’s angry. She smiles because the world needs her to. In that one moment, her smile nearly breaks.

[@MissKyliee]

you are gonna make me cry again

[@raywing00]

When I was watching Sinking of Japan there was a similar scene at the end and it triggered me the memories of this scene. I broke on the spot.

[@frankz5103]

Now we live vicariously through these kids getting broken by this game for the first time 😂

[@Rakshiir]

To this day I think FFX you aren't playing Yuna, and you see the Story of Tidus, but he also is kind of a side character in Yunas story. That was a very interesting concept for me. And yeah, the scene hits REALLY hard, especially since she thought she would sacrifice herself, but then dared to hope for more - and it is taken from her. It is a rough moment for the player to watch, since she literally can't hold on to her hope and dream. What many forget however is another character, that isn't center in the scene. Wakka lost someone that he clearly viewed as a little brother, after losing his actual brother to sin. If you look at his reaction in the end it is similarly crushing.

[@raywing00]

@@Rakshiir And when you look back, when Wakka warned him initially to not fall in love with Yuna, it wasn't him being protective of Yuna, but because he didn't want Tidus to go through a heartbreak due to Yuna's supposedly impending demise.

[@Maniac742]

It's the whistling at the docks that gets me. Even after he leaves, she still has trouble accepting it. No one can blame her.

[@twocityfoodies8476]

It's so amazing that a whole new generation of gamers are finding this game and its incredible ending. I remember plowing through this game Christmas break of 2001. I was 17 at the time and I ugly cried through that whole ending to the point my mom came in to check on me. "I'm sorry to couldn't show you Zanarkand" just broke me. If FF7 taught me what loss is, FFX taught me what love is. Fun fact about this ending is that this was the first time the phrase "I love you" was said in the entire FF series. Reason being Sakaguchi never felt that the words could mean enough if it was text, it needed to be said. FFX was the first FF game to be fully voiced.

[@roninjoey]

Words aren’t the only way to tell someone how you feel!

[@greengardens6959]

Late but, in JP Yuna said "Thank you", like thank you for everything and etc. and I think it was way more painful than "I love you" in EN.

[@sunyata7304]

@@greengardens6959 A better translation is "eternally grateful" in JP, which hits a lot different than "I love you", or just simply "thank you"

[@labrynna87]

@@greengardens6959 I overall like the English localization very much but this particular difference lead to an unwillingly funny moment during the otherwise sad ending if you were playing the PS2 original in German. The German subtitles were translated with the original Japanese texts as a source and therefore, when Yuna said [the EU version came with English synchronisation only] "I love you!" the subtitles plainly said "Danke." which feels much less emotional. ("Ich danke dir..." would have been much closer to the emotional meaning of the Japanese original. "Danke" is something you say to your baker after buying bread... and much closer to "Thanks" than to "Thank you" in terms of the emotional weight.) So, the difference in the level of emotionality between spoken words and subtitles always cracked me up a little. (Might be the reason why I never cried during the ending because I was too busy chuckling about this.) In later re-releases, however, the German subtitle was reworked for this scene and now says "Ich liebe dich" ("I love you") as well.

As much as I love Final Fantasy IX, this one is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Such an amazing journey

[@SWOTHDRA]

True

[@Dizzle84]

I’ve said this too many other reactors, but it doesn’t make it any less true, this game changed my life and made me want to be a better person. I was a cocky little arrogant asshole of a teenager, but after playing this game my whole worldview changed. I know it sounds silly, but it’s true. It’s the sad stories that stick with you and change you as a person. 20 years later, and I still have an emotional breakdown anytime I see the ending. Trust me I was crying right along with you.❤ This in my personal opinion is the best game that has ever been or ever will be made story wise!

[@tempota7792]

Thanks for sharing your story bro. That's the power of FFX. The Fayths consume us all.

[@SliderFury1]

Everyone complains about them showing the Seymour kiss in the montage at the end but I always felt like they did that (and then immediately followed it up with the Tidus water kiss) to drive home the contrast. Yuna fully and completely understands the difference between someone who is with you because they want to posses you, and someone who is with you because they love you.

Same experience. I bought FFX and borrowed a friend’s PS2 just so I could play the game. Played it everyday after school for a month or so. I suddenly lost my dad when I was a kid, so all the scenes between Tidus and Jecht on top of Yuna’s scenes had me crying for hours at the end.

[@Rakshiir]

It has been a long time since the game first made me cry. Gets me every time. This is top tier writing, because the story, ideas and themes as well as the characters hold up for that long. Those are timeless. One of the best FF, and since Square is remaking some of them: I like FF8, but that one could use some changes, because the writing isn't as good. But FF9 and 10? Those could be remade but you don't really need to do much, both games are really well written. I know it is a VERY different genre, but those two could use the Dead Space remake treatment: just add a few details, but have the story, character ect. as it was, because it was damn good back then, and it is still damn good today

Objectively speaking, we can't deny that it had a banger soundtrack (can Uemitsu do any wrong?) and the ending cutscene was awe inspiring as well. After going thru 4 discs of the saga, to see everybody like that, to have Garden float so serenely thru the heavens, and have the kiss at the end, it was all so perfect.

I played this on PS2 in high school when it came out. I played a partial run more recently, just trying to get all the things I missed in the game the first time, but I haven't seen the ending a 2nd time since high school. It was kind of neat to see most of the story all conjoined without some of the 20 to 30mins of exp farming here or there that ends up happening and the rest with side quests and all. It's definitely interesting to ponder where people are now. Some of us moved & don't live in the area we grew up. Some of us met for all of 60secs, never to see each other again. Seeing this ending and that sort of flash back brings back a lot of memories. You can place the scene in your mind, but you can't shake their hand, or give them a high five, or give them a hug. Sort of like how Yunie went through Tidus - no longer within reach. Some of us are connected without even realizing we're connected - Impacted by a game like FFX.

[@tempota7792]

I beat this game when I was 9 years old. I didn't really understand love at the time, but when I played this game, it started to click for me. What Yuna and Tidus had really hit me in the gut. Even today, I still do the ugly cry, because its just beautiful.

[@MissKyliee]

Ty for sharing :)

[@HypocritesExposd]

Their love story progressed so naturally and perfectly. Amazing writing.

[@redblade6768]

I remember beating this game as a child and I cried my eyes out and felt sad. FFX has such a beautiful world, characters & story that it can never be forgotten.

[@kaylaliberty184]

Every time I see a post about FFX I challenge myself not to cry at the ending.. I've watched that ending at least over 2 dozen times.. I never win 😭 if not the dialogue and story that get me, its the music. "To Zanarkand" is such a gorgeous composition.. ❤

[@waitwaitwaitwaitamin]

I love Yuna's sphere, She has such a delicate and gentle voice, the voice acting doesn't feel like acting, I feel everything she says as if a close friend was talking to me.

[@ajm1352]

Watching someone play through for the first time gives me the warm and fuzzies and just puts a smile on my face. I love this game so much. If I could forget a game it would be this one just to re-live. The kiss scene with Suteki da ne playing is just perfection.

[@jessebiedl]

I did not believe in fate or purpose until now. After watching this, you are MADE, with your voice and emotions, to play games and experience the stories and share the same emotions your viewer had with your amazing/funny commentary along with the story. I couldn't stop watching. (we wont talk of the potato). It was amazing and fun watching you experience this game and having the emotions together as I relive this experience from so long ago! You randomly popped up in my suggestion (And I am very thankful) and I figured I would watch a few minutes of this video...116 minutes later, I'm tearing up like a small child, excided to see how you will react to the story to come. Please don't ever stop doing videos like this. I'm definitely subscribing and cannot wait to binge watch your channel! Thank you for sharing this story\game and bringing back old emotions!

[@MissKyliee]

Well dang this was the sweetest comment I ever received on youtube. I'm happy you enjoyed it so much! I loved FF10 and wish there were more games that made me feel that way. Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos! I mainly stream on Twitch so usually anything uploaded is from past streams edited down. :)

[@VenraeLOL]

Im a grown ass man and no matter how many times I play, or watch others play, this game - it always gets me. You see the relationship between Tidus and Yuna grow. You get to experience the awkwardness of young love, that comes into its own. I think what makes this game so special is that it doesn't have a happy ending.

[@RekoPrime]

Wife and daughter at dance practice. Me? Home alone crying together with some youtube person I never watched before, recommended while watching random Asmon clips. Appreciate your company, it was a sad but somehow yet enjoyable 2 hours.

[@mattstockton6631]

If you ever play this again in the future, you'll notice how some lines hit very differently the second time through. This was so beautiful and fun to watch. Thank you for sharing despite how emotional an experience it is! And FYI, you picked the "You're more my type Lulu" option (28:46) probably because it was funny, but it actually impacts a few cutscenes. Those scenes can either be with Yuna, Rikku, or Lulu depending on some of your choices. - The snowmobile scene (32:13) - And when jumping onto sin (1:25:28) - Just before entering Sin (1:28:15) I know you probably won't read this, but thanks again for sharing your experience with this story!

[@rossburgess2965]

Congratulations, you just experienced one of the greatest stories in history.

[@MissKyliee]

Thanks 😊

[@irishspuds5894]

loved your emotions . watching the ending with you i was balling my eyes out because of your emotions. i already knew what happened but your emotions... i cant deal instant tears down my face

[@MissKyliee]

;-;

[@vandaldawgmedia]

Over 20 years later and I will still fight n die on the hill that the english casting for this is among the best in the world, they ate this UP in 2001, and it STILL holds to this day.

[@MissKyliee]

Heck ya, they were great!

[@tempota7792]

Guys. You know what? The fact that dozens of us sat here and watched almost 2 hours of someone else's journey through this wonderful game, and cried along all the same with her, means that FFX wasnt powerful JUST as a first hand experience; it was so well made that it transcends time and space, affecting us all too. 23 years later. Half a world apart. Countless watch alongs, countless new friends. We still cried along. It's just like Sin, and just like Zanarkand. Timeless and spaceless.

[@bmaxime8771]

I still remember playing that game as a kid for the first time, i spent the whole month of July in 2002 playing the heck out of that game, my mom was really concerned because i was crying sometimes playing it xD love to see im not alone

[@jaydawg116]

X-II's perfect ending is the remedy to this. Tidus and Yuna are happily together with a buttload of kids from now until the end of time in my heart.

[@DVault]

1:30:10 never fails to have people with the same reaction when playing this game for the first time.

[@MissKyliee]

dude just didn't wanna die

[@Lychnuchus]

"Yep, it's a final fantasy game" - my reaction, everytime I play one of them and cry for the first time. Ther's always that one scene that breaks me.

[@Rakshiir]

The whole game is great in terms of writing. Alot of great characters, arcs, great chemistry between them. The end is so bittersweet. It is a happy ending, but one with great loss. It is also interesting that you play Tidus, but looking at the whole story, you are more of a side character in Yunas journey, if you think about it. And for her, I feel like there is a great quote from Rocky 3 I think (not sure which one). It's not about how hard you can hit it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward She saved the world from sin, but took such a hard hit. From her thinking that she will die to actually having a chance to survive and hoping to be with her love just to have it taken away. And since their chemistry actually works well and both characters are likeable, the end hits even harder - making it one of the saddest moments in all of the Final Fantasy games. When I played it the first time, the last scene with Tidus to me was more the idea that he is in the afterlife but actually contempt with what he did. I thought this - as sad as it is - is actually a good ending for the story and Tidus. Spoilers below, if you haven't played the follow up game, you have been warned: I am not sure how I feel about the later story. You can achieve what you could call a overall happy ending for Tidus and Yuna, I am however torn between if that is better or not. The FFX ending was a bit more rooted in reality, it is sad, bittersweet, but somehow satisfying. But I also get why people want a "real" happy ending in games and movies, hope is a big theme in the games and is important to us as human beings, so having such an ending which is more on the side of good vibes and hope feels great for many - and I'd include myself here.

[@kaeldrarhiannon]

48:14 "This is gonna break my heart, isn't it?" Yes. Yes it is. Welcome to the pain club.

[@coffeediction]

Square did such a great job with this. Clannad feels also.. 1:53:17 that was "JRPG" x)

[@MissKyliee]

hahaha

[@Orenorie]

I loved getting to see someone experience this game for the first time! It's my favorite game of all time and even though I've beaten it dozens of times, and knew everything that was going to happen, I still couldn't help crying right alongside you.

[@mikeleaf952]

I remember playing this for the first time when it came out. It was so easy to get invested into the story and characters and still one of my favourite games for that reason. I loved Yuna, she was so kind, hard and unique with her heterochromia. The whole narrative aspect sucks you in and it punches you in the heart with such an emotional ending, probably more than the scene at the end of disc 1 in FFVII. Watching your reactions was cute and I wish I could play it again for the first time to experience it again.

[@cellamuert]

had a blast reliving this journey with you. i think you'll adore ff9, and i would love to see your reactions to it

[@johanmoon]

I laughed with you and I cried with you, one of my all time favourite games. Thank you so much for this 💙

[@MissKyliee]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dannysimion]

The ending for this game is like a tragic love story. The music and the end scenes work together to really tug at your heartstring for the main characters - most especially Yuna. Her journey to live life and be open to love thanks to good ole Tidus.

[@thatdoggo5254]

I'm always happy to see people play FFX for the first time. It was my first FF game I finished and lawdy did I cry like a baby. No I'm not here watching this at work trying not to cry either. (Thanks yt algorithm for giving me this vid)

[@MissKyliee]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@jamesmontgomery7074]

Final Fantasy X is my favorite game of all time. Seeing your reaction to it reminded me of how beautiful of a story it is. Having played it so many times the narrative beats don't hit as hard. Thank you so much for posting this and letting me see it again like I did the first time.

[@selendile030]

I see a first-timer experience FFX’s ending, I click. This ending still makes me tear up. First time, I was straight BAWLIN’.

[@moto3112]

You were all of us the first time we saw that ending, it's one of the best in the franchise but definitely one of the most gut wrenching too, 20+ years later and I still start sobbing when Yuna goes through Tidus.

[@patricklatham3897]

To answer your question on summoners having horns, I am not sure about the reference, but FFIII, FFV, FFIX, FFXI, and FFXIV have featured the summoner class with forehead horns.

[@kikiyatman]

Thanks for this. I don't think I've seen any of your other videos before, but you damn near made me cry. This game was the first to ever make me cry and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I used to have the FFX theme on ps4 and some days I'd just let it play the theme song in the background. I think I kinda needed this

[@MissKyliee]

thanks for watching :) appreciate it

[@jackjack8369]

20 something years later still one of the most moving endings to a game EVER

[@slayer7003]

Not just you girl, I never ever cried so much than with this game!

[@corbenoneill3092]

As i kid i was soooo unable to process this ending i just cried and cried

[@MissKyliee]

Aww 🥺

[@a.jackson9613]

In my early 20s when this game came out, and I remember tearing up hard on this scene. You just love the characters, and the journey so much to have it end in that manner was an emotional punch.

[@chicoguapo586]

Me too. I had a very rough break up and was going through some heavy emotional trauma with all things going on at the time of this release. I did the whole isolating myself from everyone, not answering door, blankets over windows, etc. Played the hell out of the game. Ending stuck with me 2 decades later. Instant tears. Fantastic game. I’m in such a better place with my life and career, and all my relationships are healthy. Times are tough out there with the state of the world. I hope everyone is doing well out there. It’s so cool something as simple as a video game can transcend generations and get all us here talking. I wish it was that easy out there IRL.

[@FrankencteynGamingTV]

I feel you. I cried a lot too a decade ago when I finished this game for the first time on the original PS2. As a grown man with 2 kids, I still cry till these days everytime I watch the ending. 😭

[@MrAuthor3DS]

- So this may be confusing, but Tidus's name is actually pronounced "tee-dus". It's based on the Okinawan word for "sun". (It's actually Wakka's name that means "water" - in Ainu.) - The attack on Kilika is probably one of the harshest moments to watch in the game. Keep in mind, the sailors on the ship were trying to distract Sin to keep it from attacking their families back home - but they still failed, and Sin tears the village apart. This leads to the sending, which is clearly still painful for the survivors. Oh, and for an extra gut-punch...? One of those caskets is baby-sized - and you can see that same young mother from the previous FMV, weeping in the crowd. - "This event is sponsored by Yevon!" Tch, typical. - There's actually a reason Auron keeps his left arm slung in his coat outside of battle. It's something samurai used to do when their masters died. - Tidus's forced laugh very frequently gets taken out of context, sadly. People often forget that he's done PLENTY of real laughs outside of that one. C'mon, let's talk about his mad cackle toward the Luca Goers! - Auron has a funny little story about the first time Jecht saw a shoopuf. What's sweet about it is that this incident convinced Jecht to give up on booze - something Tidus wished his father would do for the longest time back home. - Wakka talking to Chappu in the Farplane actually powers up Brotherhood, unlocking three more abilities. - Neat design detail with Rikku: she has a unique scream when hit by lightning-type attacks. - I kinda like how Jecht is retroactively developed throughout the story. His heel act was just to give Tidus a goal to surpass. - I gotta say, Seymour is a pretty fascinating tragic villain. Like the heroes, he's rebelling against the dogma of Yevon - though his intended methods are far from noble. And it only gets harsher after learning about Anima, whose very being is pain... - The attack on Home is yet another heartbreaking moment - between the Guados' massacre, the reveal about the Final Summoning, and Tidus's guilt from learning this...And Cid and Brother singing the hymn before blowing up the remains of Home is the sad cherry on top. - Wait, you didn't notice that Yuna has heterochromia (different eye colors)? - Yes, that young boy is the source of the dragon king. - "Zanarkand never sleeps!" is...a lot harsher in hindsight. - The "Suteki Da Ne" scene is probably one of the sweetest romance scenes I've ever witnessed... {dries eyes} - Did you ever manage to get the Sun Sigil? It's a real pain, I can tell you that much. - Fun fact: Summoners in FF3 had horns. - No lie, Seymour Flux forced me to grind a LOT in my first playthrough. Things were better in later playthroughs after I learned how to grind in the Battle Arena. - I really do love Yuna. She may look delicate, but she's got a strong will - an unbreakable one, even. - Hey, remember when the Besaid Aurochs only aimed to "do their best", but Tidus convinced them to aim for victory? That feels like an apt allegory for the battle against Sin. - By the time Tidus can finally tell Jecht "I hate you", it's hard for him to mean it. - Fun fact: the only ways to actually die during the Contest of Aeons are from the optional aeons (Yojimbo, Anima, the Magus Sisters). - "Yuna, I have to go. I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand." Dammit, stop making me cry with that line...! _"The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded...Never forget them."_

[@nezkeys79]

Doesn't matter how many times I watch this ending. Its such a beautiful experience ❤️

[@jasonforrest263]

What an amazingly experience, my absolute favourite game. 33yr old now and played as a teenager, baby cried every single time! (You're alot of fun to watch btw, loved the stream!)

[@Ewhit-je3os]

I spend damn near 2 hours watching this. And I loved every second of it. So great to see someone experience this story and have the same reactions I did when I first played through so many years ago :)

[@MissKyliee]

Thanks for watching :)

[@TheGucc1]

Playing this through for the like, 5th time now! last time was 2020 and i've loved Yuna for like 20 years 🤣

[@illrated]

Based off of your lake reaction I knew the ending was gonn tear you apart lol
