[@migiplayz91]

So many gamers cried during the "I love you" scene. As a kid I didn't care, as an adult it hits me like fight night with Mike Tyson

[@theomcinturff1213]

Right when you think you've got it together, too. Yuna can't hug him, it's literally the worst possible thing that could happen, you take a deep breath and calm yourself down. "I love you."

[@suwarsosuwarso4501]

True ending , yuna say is arigatou

[@Asrudin]

@@suwarsosuwarso4501 Japanese version you mean? FF:X only has one ending. FF:X2 has a normal, good and true ending.

[@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween]

​@@suwarsosuwarso4501but in Japan and western world, saying thank you has different meanings. I think they made the right decision with both languages 😊

[@hakulives2613]

The whistling at the end is what always gets me: "If we ever get separated, just whistle. I'll come running, I promise."

[@JaronActual]

No joke. Killing off the Aeons primes the water works. It hurts, like putting down a beloved pet, but they're begging you to so they can finally rest. Auron finally allowing himself to be sent opens the valve. The dad of the group is going, but he's old, tired, and deserves a bit of peace. Then Tidus fades. Wakka and Rikku lose a brother, Yuna loses something significantly more. The music crescendos and the falling tears become a flood as they can't even hug goodbye. But then you get ahold of yourself as the music comes to a close. Braska, Auron, and Jecht are waiting for Tidus, and the high five between dad and son communicates so much. Then, just as you think you've got it all together again, the whistling on the dock is a dagger to the heart. Kitase, you magnificent bastard!

[@VladtheInhaler]

I really wish FFX2 had been about yuna actually finding tidus relatively close to the start so we could have gotten a real 2nd part to their story.

[@igorlopes7929]

Hahahahahaha But not SE, Squaresoft.

[@solblackguy]

Wakka's reaction just before Tidus jumps off fhe ship kills me too. Like he's losing another brother

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Two things I feel most seem to miss: • Auron's little chest-tap to Kimahri - Kimarhri was the one that found the dying Auron and honored "the wish of a dying man" to take Yuna to Besaid, effectively setting off the events of the game. • Wakka being visibly upset & frustrated, having to lose a brother all over again.

[@SquareMeylix]

oh no... NOW I'M HAVING THE FEELS AGAIN

[@callmeshaggy5166]

@@SquareMeylix I'm sorry!! But also, 5:11 was unintentionally hilarious too. "Wait he's staying? He's staying??!" Yuna:

[@ThePoltergust5000]

I imagine Wakka also being frustrated there because, like-- he spent like half the time he had with Tidus being a frustrating, bullheaded fundamentalist asshole, and I'm sure EVERYTHING he said that he regrets now is flashing through his head again as he watches Tidus leave. Even if Tidus would certainly remember him as a bruddah, it's got to hurt, feeling like you "wasted" so much of your time together by not being better.

[@bradstrife2211]

This one of the first emotional games I ever experienced as a kid, and to this day I can't watch this ending without losing it.

[@MetalJaska]

Same here. It is a masterpiece. The Story was a rollercoaster at some points, and this finale is the most bittersweet moment i ever experiences. We saved the world, we saved the summoner, we have the people a Future, but the Price was so high… the dreams that faded, never forget them

[@ryanpearce9673]

I never get tired of seeing people's first playthrough of this game. FFX holds a very special place near and dear to my heart. Don't worry, we all ugly cried at that ending. I still can't even listen to "To Zanarkand" without crying my eyes out. To me, this game is perfect on every level; the story, the characters, the soundtrack, all of it.

[@marcosdheleno]

its the moment yuna goes through him that gets people, that scene was so well done, no matter how hard you try to hold it in, that freaking falling through that breaks you.

[@blazingflameable]

That was rough, but the timing on the I love you is what kills me

[@Areayea]

@@blazingflameable originally in japan the line is "thank you"

[@blackpow3r]

[@dcdx8966]

I remember seeing this the first time as a 14 year old boy. I used to think I was very tough because I wore my hood up sometimes and did edgy things like slam my door when I was angry at my parents, I was reeeeeeaaalllll tough, but this ending reduced me to what I really was, a pathetic wet blanket. ‘Never forget them.’ ‘I WONT YUNA I WONT!!!’

[@peaaanuuutz]

Yuna sending the Aeon's to rest always makes me tear up. Those Aeon's have been with you the entire game, literally saving you from a tight spot against a very difficult enemy.

[@michaeljakeusman]

they dont do much in the late game though.. when you finally unlock your final weapon and damage limiter. i mean auron's normal attacks can get upto 800,000. or was it just 80k haha. forgot already

[@finalfantasyfordays127]

A lot of people talk about the I love you or the whistle. What hit me hardest as a kid and still hits hardest now is when she tries to hug him and falls, and she just lays there, because she knows. Specifically the soul shining light on her eyes as it passed by. It captured such despair, and I've honestly never had a moment just slap me like that before or since.

[@akabancopop]

I always loved how the ending didn't give you one big tearjerker moment but instead several smaller salt-in-the-wound moments with little details, and I think that's why it still emotionally resonates today. It tells the ending the same way the pain of losing someone never truly leaves us. The physical pain of hitting her head on the floor when she chases him, the little overlap when he hugs her from behind rubbing in that it's not really there, the power and nuance of the whistling denoting Yuna's been doing this for weeks and Lulu has to come get her to get back to real life. It's those little details that really stick it to you.

[@melanp4698]

This is the definition of perfect storytelling.

[@Mukation]

Agreed. I think 7 has the best characters overall, but 10 has the best goddamn story.

[@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween]

Embrace the tears, it's pretty cathartic. The way they animated tidus's expression after she says I love you is just ... perfection. The most heartbroken and loving face. The finer details here are also great

[@MrValium100]

I cry everytime when Yuna said the last phrase: "Just, one more thing... The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded... Never forget them." You can notice that when she said "or the dream that have faded" she softly whisper and speak to herself not to the crowd, because she talk about her dream, her loved one.

[@henrymarenth8645]

That's what got me just now. Her words plus the clips

[@just_lyrics2962]

Yes. Same with Suteki da ne song.

[@allusive2903]

[@TrvisXXIII]

For me it’s Tidus’ face and the way they animated it that makes me get emotional. When he looks back at Yuna after she says “I love you” and when he gives her that final embrace, you can see the pain in his expression, damn

[@bojnebojnebojne]

To me this is one of the greatest games ever made. It is both very fun to play and the story is very gripping, beautiful and tragic. And the music is as always impeccable as per custom in FF games. Every time i hear "To Zanarkand" it brings me to tears because i'm reminded of this tragically beautiful story,

[@Gremalkin1979]

One of the greatest to be sure. One of the few games i have 100% completed, and to zanarkand has been my ringtone since 2001.

[@snuggie1849]

There are so many of these reaction videos I've watched of the ending. I'm a grown man. I can tell you if everyone was together watching this story, there wouldn't be a dry eye in the theater.

We are all connected.
