[@slimebuck]

The scene that you say was model ripped, actually takes place on sins head. When the party fell through the ice, JECHT wanted to help his son, and so made sin sit in spot and SLEEP giving the party a landing area to fall on and recover. This scene shows that JECHT is still there inside SIN. It was INTENTIONALLY the exact same model layout not a RIP. If you look on the original PS2 version, it is MUCH more apparent. Also, in the scene in that town, everyone has SIN sickness... just saying

[@jakphannak817]

I find interesting how many people don't seem to realize that you are on top of his head.

[@sciverzero8197]

This is the reason the ground starts shaking, there are pyreflies everwhere, and you end up in the middle of the desert afterward. Sin wakes up, and ends up throwing you all off in that oasis after everyone passes out.

[@LeMustache]

I didn't even play the game and even to me it was pretty obvious that there must be a story connection between these places. Went in the comments to find exactly this comment, thanks

[@roundninja]

That scene has the absolute weirdest dialogue in the entire game, the characters are acting bizarre. Was never 100% sure if that was cause Sin was so close, or if it was just a translation issue. If they're truly on his head that would explain a lot, I think you're right.

[@PissedGrunty]

@@jakphannak817 I can see people missing it. Things start shaking and then it shows an FMV of Sin from pretty far away. I knew we were on top of Sin, but never connected that it was the same city area shown in the boss fight.

[@mafiousbj]

Ah yes, the first game that taught me videogames can be more than just games. Feels like I travelled back in time and I'm being given behind the scenes access to the set of my favorite movie. Thanks for this! Strangely, YT recommended me a lot of music from this game lately so I was in a nostalgia week already, with this video being the cherry on top 😁

[@Dansg08]

Really interesting content, thanks for sharing! I found the animations that still happened "normally" despite not being in the shot particularly cool and the Dream Zanarkand zoom out was awesome!

[@HakuYuki001]

I knew you’d be here. It’s just part of your story.

[@TTMS-Khaz-kun]

Damn, beat me to it. I was especially hoping you'd see this. It was super cool to see it all.

[@marulynn3499]

Haha you would be here too 😂♥️

[@pmoneyelite4719]

The legend is here. Thank you for your input!!

[@FruityKIWI]

the boss himself

[@Shuyin128MK4]

Correction about the model rip of the small city on Sin's head. That actually is Sin you are standing on top of lore wise. Sin was under Lake Macalania listening to the Hymn of the Fayth because he had been following your group around Spira. And because he had been doing that, he was in a position to use his gravity magic to safely catch the party, preventing them from dying. We're also shown that city on Sin's head so clearly during the big battle as a reminder of sorts of that moment.

[@YOSEPHALLEN92]

There are no sources. It is a theory.

[@Shuyin128MK4]

@@YOSEPHALLEN92 It's not a theory though. Jecht was under Lake Macalania listening to Shiva sing, it was helping keep Sin calm. He had been following the group around Spira, which is confirmed after the events in Zanarkand when Sin is seen sitting outside of the Dome chilling instead of attacking or even destroying the dome itself. He had been following their progress all this time because of the plan and desire to end Sin's rebirth once and for all, which is why you don't hear anything about wide spread destruction at different parts of Spira, because he's following the group instead of going on a rampage. The group was on top of Sin's head under Lake Macalania, and when Shiva stopped singing is when Jecht momentarily lost control of him, which somehow resulted in the group ending up all the way over in Bikanel. Also, if you look at how Sin is positioned in the short CG cutscene, he is positioned in a way that has the city on his head leveled perfectly. And it's thanks to his gravity magic that the group did not die from that massive fall that would have killed all of them otherwise. Either from the fall itself or the freezing waters below. The source of this information are the events of the game itself. We don't need a game dev Q&A to confirm information they openly give to us in the storytelling.

[@kupokitten]

@@YOSEPHALLEN92 no it's true and it's an important part of the story that is talked about and implied although they didn't make it that obvious. It shows how somehow Jecht is still there inside Sin and wants to keep his son safe

[@kenhammscousin4716]

Idk where you get the gravity magic bit from, but yeah it's obvious from the buildings that they were on top of sin, this was made clear by a boundary break like a year ago that also showed that you can see the city under lake macalania is on sins head with the fins in the back

[@Shuyin128MK4]

@@kenhammscousin4716 Gravity Magic is the type of magic Sin uses. He uses it in the various battles you have with him, he uses it in various cutscenes (including when he destroyed Kilika when the debris is swirling over his head, showing his destructive force to Tidus for the first time), and is how he flies around the sky. He even used it in the final battle vs Sin's Head, pulling the airship toward himself before charging up Gigaton Gravitation. It's not unreasonable to believe Jecht was able to use Sin's gravity magic to lighten the fall from a fatal height to prevent the party from dying, and them landing on his head could have been where he pulled them to with it using Sin's gravity field.

[@SirPenguin93660]

Finally after 22 years i can see more of final fantasy X, thanks a lot dude, thanks

[@NeverStopRolling]

This game meant so much to me. It will be forever tied in my memory to a long time girlfriend that I lost in my youth and kinda never got over and have pretty much stayed alone ever since... I plan to play this game once more when I'm old and just before I die. Not sure if anyone cares but I know final fantasy and the music are strongly tied to a lot of emotions for a lot of people. I hope you all have happy memories connected to them.

[@panicfire3613]

The problem with happy memories is that they become bitter once you lose the person tied to it :(

[@reinatycoon3644]

This was a beautiful albeit sad comment thanks for sharing. I'm a highly nostalgic, and melancholic person myself so I can relate to you. Sorry for the loss of your lover. And you are correct FF games music has a very potent magical feel to it and when heard can invoke lots of melancholic feelings. Same rings true for Zelda, Mario, and Chrono series music.

[@Glori4n]

Absolutely. Final Fantasy X is a work of art that I hold very dear in my heart. All of the best moments in my life I was there, playing it.

[@MooglePower]

Thank you so much for doing FFX! I'm impressed with how much they ended up modeling, particularly as you said in the cutscenes where parts of the characters that you never see are animated. I wonder if they weren't sure in the beginning how the scenes were going to be framed, or even if they simply wanted the flexibility to make changes to the framing, and so doing full body animations from the motion captures in this case gave them that flexibility later.

[@planescaped]

FF12 had a ton of environmental details as well. I hope we get it at some point.

[@rhettbaldwin2417]

what has always amazed me and still amazes me to this day is the amount of care and dedication that went into the worldbuilding, map creation, and especially the story. the whole game, really. favorite FF game, probably favorite game ever.

[@HorusDeathtouch]

Huh? It's not a model rip of the top of Sin's head... it IS Sin's head. You're literally standing on Sin's head at the bottom of Lake Macalania.

[@jaycon45]

Fasinating stuff. This wasn't highlighted in the video but this might be interesting for those who havent seen it, after the sending CG cutscene at Kilika village there's a second Yuna model that was accidentily left in shot on the PS2 version. And yeah it was removed from the HD versions.

[@HolidayAtHome]

1:40 it's not repurposed. You are actually traveling on Sin at that point. It's compliceted but one youtuber (can't remeber his name) has a very good in depth explanation of the complete story, including this scene

[@LovelyPariah]

Aw man, love that the hand on Yuna’s shoulder was fully rendered, such a nice detail-kinda sad we didn’t get a full shot of that!

[@mixmastermike2128]

7:05 Can we get a zoom in on those.. fruits?

[@Na0uta]

For real, any chance at a Final Fantasy 13 and 13-2? They run on basically the same game engines and would be super easy to bang out a 2 part episode!

[@JohnSuave]

Ew.... why

[@David80623]

​@@JohnSuavecause the scenarios are beautiful regardless of opinions about the game itself

[@LuigiXHero]

Yes please some of the prettiest games to come out

[@sgw5428]

FF13 would be nice, there are so many times the gameplay stopped and switched into cutscene when we can still see the path ahead & the map is still going, no dead end. And we never visit the area again.

[@DubiousCrow]

Stumbled upon your channel and I’ve been enjoying every video I’ve watched so far, ya just got a new sub!

[@otherhand]

Those shots of the world map really make me wish FFX had made it walkable in the way the PS1 games did.

[@AddersOtter]

NGL I was thinking about whether an episode of this existed or not, and these thoughts have lasted two or three weeks now. I'm glad I checked at this specific point in time since the video's an hour old. Finally the universe is working in my favor lol.

[@NumaNoom149]

FFX is one of my favorite games of all time, so I’m glad you covered it. I’d love to see you cover XVI. I’m sure there is lots of good stuff to see there.

[@FinalSeraphLeo]

MIND FUCKIN BLOWN about the city on Sin's head. Never realized that in the 20+ years and 20+ times I've played the game

[@DegenTP]

I feel like we need to know more about that cat!

[@Im_Behind_You]

Holy shit this game is so special in so many ways

[@miichan2972]

I always adore your content, thank you very much as per usual! I know the PS2 tends to be really difficult, but I would love it if you could do an episode on Clock Tower 3 or Haunting Ground too someday. Since you've done Silent Hill and Resident evil, I think it or the Clock Tower games would be a good way to fill out the trinity of classic 3D horror!

[@awkwardhero]

There is a 3D model of the map, and we didn't get to fly around it and find Sin roaming in the waters? MAN. I remember when I got the airship in FFX, and I was so disappointed it was just a menu. I love the game, but I really wanted JRPG overworlds to become more intricate and detailed. Instead, they barely exist at all anymore. When I tell you I was waiting the entire game to unlock the airship and fly around the world like you could in older titles, I'm not kidding. The feeling of flying from one end of a planet to another is amazing. Edit: Great video, made me wanna play FFX.

[@leolightfellow]

These are always so interesting. Thank you, shesez. :) I also love FFX. Glad you played it and enjoyed it.

[@niXonc0x]

Epic that you've just now played this game

[@laco403]

You ARE on Sin's head, not the floor of lake Macalania. There's a whole cutscene about it.

[@devaw5599]

OMG YESS i've been waiting for you to do Final Fantasy X for YEARS!!! please do Final Fantasy X-2 next :)

[@TheMightyBigga]

It's not an area repurposed, you are literally on Sin's head in that scene. It even carries you to your next destination

[@FutureDeep]

That full body animation is really impressive and surprising. When Tidus put his hand on Yuna's shoulder I fully expected it to just be a ghost hand with no body attached But nope! Full body.

[@TheBlindsReflection]

Thumbs up for the multiple angles of the laughing scene ❤

[@Tftapodcast]

Yes! My favorite FF game finally being on Boundary Break!

[@shizbang]

It's a model rip of sin's head, bit in lore tou actually are on top of sin's head under Lake Macalania

[@starshortspeedruns88]

oh wow, you can actually see what appears to be the body of sin in the water in that zoom out at macalania! interesting!!! So you really are standing on its head!

[@AshleeStover]

I was hoping to see the farplane but I can understand that to be a very simple room

[@ryutou-ki4dl]

2:00 makes me think originally sin was suppose to erupt from the ground under the lake or something

[@blueslime3963]

I think the legs and the whole model are fully animated here simply because they decided afterwards the camera angle and direction. Honestly a pretty smart move, although tedious

[@The80Kat]

This is my favorite final fantasy!!!

[@poptarttoons8734]

Could you do another boundary break episode of Dead by Daylight? I've always wondered if the survivors could see the killer in the pregame lobby on a public or custom game if you move or turn the camera over to them. I also would like to see if there is anything out of bounds on the new maps

[@Xport9]

"Shiva's really *cool* ..." No pun intended.

[@bigguy2128]

I love your videos. They're even better when you cover games I've played. Like ffx

[@gamingkeepstudios3504]

I love your content. I’m an indie game dev and I love to see this stuff on how game developers made their games. Question ratchet and clank rift apart is an amazing game and I was wondering if any chance you have that game on your radar to go through. I would love to see how much of their world is actually 3d models and how they work the flows of the maps.

[@ivanroman8914]

I'd be looking at Lulu for hours if I have that camera mod

[@codysvlogdays]

Wow ive been wanting to play through 10 and 12 for the first time, guess this is enough reason to finally start 10 atleast

[@hyper_channel]

10 is an amazing game, gameplay is fun and the story and characters are great

[@codysvlogdays]

@@hyper_channel yeah I've heard that from pretty much anyone who has talked to me about FFX, the only thing I don't think I'll like is the voice acting. Specifically from tidus, he seems a little annoying but I'm sure he is a likeable character though

[@hyper_channel]

@@codysvlogdays Ye I'm sure he will grow on you, also keep in mind that most of the cast are teenagers and early 20s

[@codysvlogdays]

@@hyper_channel fair, I'll definitely be trying it once I really have the time to. ive been needing a new RPG to play as well so I do have one question though, does the game use prerendered backgrounds for a big chunk of the game or is it pretty much all 3d? Idk why but I've never been able to enjoy games that use prerendered backgrounds as much. It's the main reason I've never played FF7 and 9

[@hyper_channel]

@@codysvlogdays X is technically more advanced than 7 to 9, as it was released as a PS2 game instead of PS1. I think it holds up very well today, it's mostly 3D. The HD remaster I think isn't very good so it's possible that the best version to play is emulating the PS2 one on pc or something like that, I guess you would have to investigate a bit.

[@jeannepucelle]

I was waiting for the Final Fantasy X out of bounds since FF X is one of my favorite Final Fantasies! Pretty cool stuff especially the fruit, I could have sworn it was 3D. However, I was disappointed to see no out of bounds for the Farplane.

[@pope88fb]

I believe the fact everything is animated, beside not being on camera, is because they decided how to use the camera well, just after animation...

[@lukeanthony7694]

Finished for the first time oh you lucky guy ha 😅 my favourite game ever so many hours spent growing up with this game even got the platinum trophy on ps4

[@phantasydragon696]

Not going to show the thunder from the thunder fields. That place sucks when you're trying to dodge the lightning

[@tamashii6670]

But when in game they are at the bottom of Macalania lake, they are on Sin, it's said in game. On that texture are Yevon symbols. It's: I Y G Q C O F A L L L F E W Y O Some symbols have meaning: A - yevon F - thunder I - light L - ice W - water And third L in second line is upside down... Any suggestions if it can have any meaning? :D Oh, and... Someone looked what is written on the floor in Bevelle jail cell where Auron and Tidus were? There is something written but it's really hard to read, it would be much easier this way.

[@justincider8892]

I wonder if the devs fully animated some scenes and they decided where you put the camera later.

If you Do a 'Saints Row 2' Boundary Break then I have to warn you. There is a creepy glitch that if you go out of bounds with the Player, There will be a Shadow figure Called "The Freezer" will hunt down the player out of bounds and freeze the game, After that it will Break your game and you coudn't go back in. If it's physical, Get a new Copy. If it's Digital, Delete and Re-download the Game. The Entity was not made by Developers it was from a Code that somehow Made a Creepypasta real. People say it's the Shadow of the player that The Game couldn't find where to place. Or a Shadow of a NPC that is trying hunting you down. This thing is Real.

I feel there was a missed opportunity when viewing Yunalescka, just saying.

[@Soki7000]

0:37 is Tidus’ mum!

[@sciverzero8197]

Rikku's teeth are a fun error. Its not that she has too many teeth its that she has a texture that was supposed to wrap all the way around her mouth, having every individual tooth painted uniquely, but they stretched it over half her mouth and mirrored it. You can see that around the 7th tooth from the back or front of her mouth, the teeth are actually longer and get shorter towards the front and back of her mouth... that's because those teeth in the corner of her mouth are actually supposed to be her incisors, at the front of her mouth. I don't think this happens in the PS2 version as the textures on the character models in the PS2 version are the single most changed thing compared to the HD release. They actually really did a lot of destructive work that makes the HD character models look significantly worse in animation than the PS2 ones, because they didn't account for eyes turing (so you see really dark shadows around the eyes anytime someone isn't staring straight ahead) and they didn't port the cutscene facial animations over to the HD models at all, so no one emotes in the HD version.

[@ChrisHoulihan]

Thanks for this, I always wondered how they managed to completely obliterate the graphics in the HD version. It is incredible that they let this happen and also incredible that I paid full price for an HD remake that looked so bad when I have a working PS2 and a hard copy of ffx 😞

[@evanmak7837]

Yup, her UV map glitched and it went on every face instead of the whole teeth model. Creepy result but kinda cool actually.

[@Vulpas]

I hope we get a proper remake for FFX eventually.

[@hyper_channel]

So I'm guessing the best way to play this game is to emulate the PS2 version on PC and crank the render resolution?

[@NeroLordofChaos]

​@@hyper_channelThere are mods on Nexus that fix the PC version. Everyone else has to deal with it.

[@montyl.8232]

I love that Tidus actually leans forward to touch Yuna’s shoulder and it’s not just a hand coming out of nowhere. Love this game so much ❤

[@sciverzero8197]

I can tell you, as an artist who does game models, the artist who made that cat is probably really proud of the cat's level of detail being unnecessary, without straining the resources. Its actually more painful to a lot of artists to reduce the quality of the art, or to make intentionally low quality art, for budgetary reasons, than it is knowing that you can't see the detail they put in. That said, I know they/we also really love it when someone cares enough to look at them up close and see how much we cared about the model/texture.

[@hyper_channel]

I think that creating a highly optimized and "cheap to run" model is also something to be proud of, even if it's not as pretty as you could make it

[@glenngriffon8032]

Stuff like that cat is why I've always loved boundary breaking as far back as I can remember, long before youtube. I've always loved looking for the hidden or overlooked stuff.

[@nikolaikalashnikov4253]

I think I've seen coders & artist slip in "signatures" into the code: To "sign" the "piece of art" (or code) that they worked on ? ...but also, it can add a layer of personal protection if there's ever litigation with the company... ...Your "signature" is right there and the company was too stupid to notice, lol !!!

[@serenity8839]

I always love looking at random models up close an thinking some dev has no idea I'm loving the effort of work that most won't pay attention too but as fellow artists it just makes me crave staring at it haha

[@MO-dj5br]

You actually fall and land on sins head when you are running away from the ice temple. I believe they show a cut scene zooming out to show sin before you teleport to the desert. Later in the game Tidus makes a comment that sin likes the temple hymn to explain why he was there.

[@MooglePower]

Yeah, this is how I always understood that scene in Macalania Lake. You're standing on Sin's head, not the bottom of the lake.

[@monandoboi7360]

Unfortunately it's just not very well... uh, choreographed is the wrong word... which is weird cause the rest of the game doesn't have that problem.

[@MooglePower]

@@monandoboi7360 Yeah, it isn't really apparently what's going on unless you're really paying attention; I didn't realize what was happening until my second playthrough. When you do figure it out, it's a definitely a special moment.

[@MachFiveFalcon]

I was wondering! The location seems important enough that it would be kind of odd to make a higher polygon/resolution version of it just to use in a random location.

[@Big.Joe.Grizzly]

This is such a cool fact. I never realised this until I watched a KZbin video about it like a year ago and I've been playing this game since like 2005. Fantastic game

[@nonoliveleftgreen]

Those made-up characters at 3:40 are actually Yevon script and are found throughout the game. Most Yevon script characters are associated with a character in the latin alphabet. If anyone is curious it reads IYGQCOFALLL(this last L is upside down)FEWYO.

[@NeverStopRolling]

Glad someone else said this. It's kinda obvious Shesez never actually played this game... xD

[@HakuYuki001]

Thank you. I was cringing so hard.

[@BitcoinTakeover]

01:35 - when you fall through ice at the bottom of lake Macalania, you actually land on Sin's head. As in Jecht rescues his son so he can complete the pilgrimage. This is why FF-X is so great, there are so many hidden layers to the story. Take for instance Anima, Seymour's summon. It's later revealed in a side quest that Anima is the spirit of Seymour's mother!

[@planetbumble5060]

I love that if you summon her against Seymour he'll have special dialogue too. Love how detailed this game is.

[@billl.2441]

really? gotta go back and see for myself if you do land on sin's head.

[@BurnSchulz]

Just what i was about to write.. yep Sin actually rests at the bottom of macalania lake at that time. i believe they even were poisened by sin and then land on bikanel island after that Yeah i mean lol.. go and watch the scene again.. its like totally obvious.. sin was there to listen to the song of prayer but when the singing stopped he wakes up again

[@WrenchMonkey91]

Dude...that IS Sin's head. He carries the party to the next point in the story...

[@planescaped]

The game is really unclear and vague about that, but the camera break does pretty much confirm it at least.

[@wildman3910]

​@@planescapedI had to replay the game as a 32 year old to understand how we ended up getting transported to the island. Was not clear at all for a kid.

[@Owlero]

I think the reason the models are fully animated during the cutscenes is because they did the animation first, and decided how they wanted to frame each shot *after* the fact. Unlike Twilight Princess that may have been storyboarded and the shots framed *before* the animations were done.

[@tacobot_6102]

That's a possibility but I was going to say its because the fully animated ones are motion capture while the half-animated ones are hand-animated.

[@Liliquan]

@@tacobot_6102You seriously think they were using full body motion capture back think. Think again man, think again.

[@tacobot_6102]

@@Liliquan are you serious? Motion capture has been in use in videogames since the early 90's. This one may not have been high-res full body mocap, but just enough of the macro movements of the body. Things like extremeties and facil movement were done by hand and if you know what to look for, its definitely in use here. ​ And in case you need proof, this video mentions that they have been using motion capture since FF8 and that it was used almost all the time in FFX kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGmqioehZq6lf5Ym30s

[@BLACULA-Skeewoah]

Kojima did the same thing for mgs2. He even had mo cap teams and sets built to get animations fully performed.

[@Acorn_Anomaly]

@@LuigiXHero In fairness for that specific example, they probably didn't keep notes on what the asset was supposed to be, or where it came from. It was probably thrown in at the last minute as a joke by one of the artists when they needed another frame for a set.

@@narsheguard6417 It's a bonding moment where the awkwardness of forcing yourself to laugh is central to the characters in that scene, like, it's not "bad on purpose" it's good because it's a well acted forced and awkward laugh that's different. Seriously just rewatch the scene, they even laugh genuinely right after *because* of how awkward it is. Like, it's not bad to include weird or uncomfortable moments in a game if that's the goal and it helps the story and characters, and here it definitely does. If the laugh was a normal laugh the scene wouldn't even make sense and it would be much weaker.

1:12 Where he talks about the city on Sin's head being reused for the Macalania scene, I'm starting to think the characters were actually standing on Sin the whole time and never realized it.

[@IIOver9000]

The fact that the developers made sure the legs were in sync with the scenes really shows a high level of care, commendable

[@TunaCanGuzzler]

it's motion capture, it would take more work to remove it afterwards, leaving it in cost them exactly zero effort. what a weird praise.

[@IIOver9000]

@@TunaCanGuzzler didnt know that, thanks 👍🏼

[@HeisenbergFam]

Cant believe this came out in 2001, time flies

[@hyper_channel]

Also how amazingly pretty this game is, holds up even today, they really juiced that PS2 hardware

I'm just saying Bruddah, those Al Bhed aren't normal ya? Some say they have extra teeth and that's just weird to me bruddah, it's unnatural, I wouldn't want them around to spread that kind of defect ya know? Praise be to Yevon Bruddah.

Yes! I've been anticipating the FFX episode for a while! I remember you saying a while back on Twitter that you were hesitant to do it because of issues getting the camera to move freely, but you obviously solved that problem. Thanks again for another great one!

This just makes me want to play FFX again. It's definitely one of my favorite video games of all time if not my favorite.

[@otaking3582]

What a coincidence! I finished FFX recently and am currently playing FFX-2!

[@bloodblues85]

This upload really blew me away! It was so cool to see the cutscenes from different perspectives because of the animations that are usually off-screen, and seeing the fayths up-close like that... I don't even have words to describe it! Thank you so much!! 💜

[@Blakeland_]

Don't let Wakka know about Rikku's 80 teeth.

[@medicyukisuna]

Holy shit, Tidus's full body animation during the intro cutscene kind of blew my mind... Not so much for the full body animation, but more so the fact his face is fully animated as well.

[@GAGPalia]

The reason city on shin head is same as in lake macalania scene is because tha scene takes place on top of sin in the same city not actually on the lake's floor.

[@richnfg_7882]

Greatest game ever. Need a ten hour version exploring every scene :D
