For some reason I could always replay this game, but not FF7 which tells me that I like this one a lot more.

To those who will play the game, look up the item duplication trick. Essential to have a good experience. And don't rename Cecilia's spells. I did that when I was a kid and that became a problem quite fast.

<3

My fist time expiremcing this was in a combo set of Fonalfantasy-Anthology if I remember correctly

Cross even for today's standards is a great story

Why some say this is a sequel to Chrono-trigger baffles me cross when looked at as a stand-alone title Chrono-cross is an azing title

Did this dude really say the US dropped the atomic bombs AFTER Japan surrendered?

This is my all-time favorite game.. the reason I have multiple ps1 consoles and copies of this game as well as all modded consoles get this game added 😂

Finally someone else who keeps the Garnet. I always felt dagger was a dumb name when i was 8, and changed it our of tradition

I thought anima came from the catholic anima sola or lost/lonely soul, look it up, it's pretty obvious

Ff9 was also sakaguchis second crack at the circle of life theme he wanted to tell in ff7. The difference is that, in ff7, the soul belongs to the planet whereas in ff9, the soul belongs to you.

The mist is over 10 years old... NOT NEW

Nah man the story is amazing . Very unique

One of the best RPG ever made, just sad the game was stolen

Ive been obssesed with Final Fantasy games recently lol.

Idk why you trying to run away in the first place tho

This was masterful. I loved it. Can’t wait to look at more of your work. Bravo.

I played FFX when it came out (I remember playing a demo from a Magazine and it was definitely a day 1 purchase). So this was before X-2 was even announced. It definitely different to Aerith. Aerith’s death is sudden and unexpected; she’s gone and she dies in the middle of the game: and that’s it, you don’t see her again until the ending and can do some side content to see a brief glimpse of her ghost in the church. With Yunas pilgrimage is was different, as there’s a sense of doom over every citizen in spira that grows onto Yuma specifically. I don’t think I ever thought she would die; especially after Bevelle when it’s known it’s futile to call the final aeon. So while I felt the emotion of the story you always knew there was a twist coming and they would eventually find another way which they do, the twist being that tidus dies (or fades) instead. I think that happening in the ending as opposed to the middle like aerith had a very different emotional impact; had Yuna died calling the final aeon and then the party had to kill Yu Yevon once she broke the shell that is sin I think that would have been a different emotional weight again. FFX is a masterpiece. Great video

People meming on the forced laughing scene annoyed me to no end to for the very same reason; it undermines the true meaning of what's happening there so bad. Tidus just witnessed an entire village get destroyed and then gets told that his father, a person he loathes, is responsible for that. He also starts to realize that his world is gone and he can never return. And then to top it all off the person he's clearly a bit smitten by tells him he's not even allowed to feel bad about it.... because others expect them to carry on a brave face. It's not bad voice acting in that scene... it's deliberate. It's a forced laugh of frustration and anger because he's expected to smile, laugh and be happy about it. With Tidus being a bit of a rebelious brat ofc he would let his frustration shine through and perform a bit of malicious compliance; it's simply who he (still) is but inadvertedly he also gives Yuna a bit of an outlet... smart cookie as she is she catches on to what Tidus is doing and decides to join in and the absurdity of what they're doing (causing the rest of the party to comment on whether they've lost their minds or not) eventually truly DOES make them laugh which must be a welcome outlet for Yuna as blitzball is for Spira.... Just because people don't realize what's happening doesn't make the voice-acting bad.... they knew exactly what they were doing in that scene and the people who meme'd on it clearly don't

The greatest game ever made.

Just finished this game, it really sucks for the most part, com at is bad, platform is dumb, puzzle are too simple and boring, characters are forgettable, ending is dumb. The game is just bad.

I loved this game but can I honestly say its story is up there with 7 and 10. Hard to say, its hard to pick specific moments for it as its just very good the entire game. It’s hard to pick things out

0:30 Right off the bat, i would back that up to the indus river valley civilization. Stories like "Jack and the Ogre" and "Rapunzel" are (potentially) upwards of 10,000 years old.

Going to start playing this again this week.

Not covering chain of memories eh?, then that means you will be covering the ps2 version then right since it’s technically a different title (wink wink)

After years of playing it on and off I finally beat it and I think it's my favorite game now. Thank you this was nice

What about the difficulty spike It's so bad.

Soul Cage: I have seen the end of my thousand-year life, and it is not now. You cannot defeat me, it is futile to even try. Eiko: *Life* Soul Cage: *pwned*

Dagger is more of a summoner and Eiko is more of a white mage. You won't be casting Holy with Dagger and you won't be summoning Bahamut with Eiko.

Tant-tellus? You messed up Tan-tulh-us Its not how you say it at all man not Zi-dane its Zuh-Daan. Geez.

S.S Leaky. Hah.

I named Garnet/Dagger "Sarah". First of all, that is her actual name and secondly, it's more common.

I remember renting this game at the local video warehouse during the PS2 ero, with no prior knowledge of the original title. Took it home, and remember it being fairly difficult as a kid, but loved that it reminded me so much of that golden age of PS1-PS2 FF releases. Never made it very far, but remember enjoying the vibe of it. Just stumbled back on it today 22 years later.

The only game I put more than 100 hours into until Destiny. The GOAT RPG.

Honestly I hate the "twist" with the final aeon kills the summoner, it is stupid lol. Someone would have told tidus.

3:48:51 that canon ending for x-2 is only for those that bought the strategy guide to know how to actually get the 100% completion and not miss anything

Vivi is my favorite mage character in video games.

The laugh scene is often called bad voice acting by people who don't understand it. Its Tidus having a small breakdown. It can be seen on the others' faces as they watch and Yuna commenting that he should stop. When he doesn't, she joined him and it evolved from the fake screaming laughs into natural laughter between him and Yuna. Its not an easy scene to watch, but wasn't bad voice acting

FFX is just perfect. Its in my name.

Ya know, I've been due for a FF9 replay. I think I played 7 and 8 way more but when I think of FF "nostalgia", you're right. It's always 9 that comes to mind.

@GamingWithSpoons I never understood, how that girl father from the future, made it past that robot?or did the robot injured him & he made past the robot then died?
