I've never seen your channel, but I'll never turn down the chance to see someone experience this ending for the first time.
Welcome :) Thanks for watching!
Same here, I haven’t seen this channel before but watching someone experience FFX for the first time is amazing and you could tell MissKyliee enjoyed it
I totally agree!!
Same… I remember my first time 😭😭😭
Same here, I was praying that potato filter was off for the end. Lol This game had the best story ever.Will watch someone's reaction to it every time.
20 years later, I'm a grown ass man, father of a 7yo kid, and still cry like a baby whenever I watch again FFX ending
awwww
My son is 25 and grew up with FF! Keep showing your kid the best FF has!
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.
The feels train knows no age limit and will wreck anyone it felt like hitting.
Same bro, same.
"This is so good. But I feel dead inside." - everyone who played this game
lol
I think this is called "emotional exhaustion" and is a perfectly normal thing after finishing this game lol
@@cyberjarl is this "catharsis" those ancient greeks were on about?
@@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.
@@cyberjarl The worst is hard farming for max stats and realizing unlike x2 there is no new game plus mode. Maybe I am just too used to Tales of Games.
You'll cry, you're gonna cry, you always cry. See? You're crying.
That should have been the tag line for this game
Damn Jecht knew the whole time
I hate you Cottidae 😩
Normal that games so emotional 😭😭😭😭
I'm not crying. YOU'RE crying! 😭
First I saw Nyxipuff have an emotional breakdown
Then I saw Pekora have an emotional breakdown
then I saw Frankie have an emotional breakdown
And Now I have seen Miss Kyliee have an emotional breakdown....
I'm just collecting Final Fantasy emotional breakdowns like it's Pokemon at this point
I know who Nyxipuff is, her FF content is great.
Are we talking Usada Pekora and FrankieLollia? If so you have great taste in streamers.
@@omegashinra7672 yes those are the ones I mentioned. and thanks :) .
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.
@@Rakshiir 100% agree, ff X was the best FF ever got.
Same here ^^
"the people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded... never forget them."
This hits and hurts me the most.
This applies to real life as well.
@@knox7945 true, that's why it hurts. Many can relate. And we can only honor them by cherishing their memories.
"People come and go. But don't be sad that it ended, be glad that it happened."
Same... I wish I could forget them though.
Just as sad as Vivi dying off screen
i'm literally crying right now bc i just watched that part in this video 😢
Man I remember telling my little sister "good luck with the ending of the game" while having an kinda evil smirk on my face. After I heard her crying like crazy I knew she finished the game. This game is a special experience and I will always treasure it.
awww lol
Exactly. Unforgettable experience
“Well that hurt…” most appropriate response to this ending I’ve ever heard. I feel ya girl.
😊
Her whistling for him at the end is the part that always gets me.
Yea 😞
@@MissKyliee I´m glad the sequel gave us a happy end to this story.
@@ill-eagle0155 spoiler! Lol
@@Wudark True, but many haven't played FFX-2. They deserve to know xD
@@ill-eagle0155 what you've done may be a crime against humanity.... but it was for the greater good... lol
That kissing in the lake scene, can you imagine a scene like that in a game from more than 20 years ago? It blows lots of romantic scenes in newer games out of the water
the music in that scene made it 1 million times better.
it was the only time my parents paid attention to a video game
a lot of games romance now cause of stuff like mass effect is talk to them 3 times do a side quest and then sex thats what you want!!!! nond of these games have them talk and even bond
@@troytheboy1985 That's because newer games aren't really about romance, it's just about fulfilling some incel fantasy. They are the creepiest of all table top players, yes even more creepier than the infamous murder hobos.
@@One.Zero.One101 I think the only game that got romance right was ffx no other game stands out really
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.
I loved this game as well :)
Hey, I love the LoK profile picture!
I still cry at this ending. When Yuna falls through Titus after running after him, I just ugly cry at that part.
Same. DId 20 years ago when i first played it, and again after every replay. So powerful.
Now we live vicariously through these kids getting broken by this game for the first time 😂
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
Not only Yuna has lost her lover, but Wakka has lost, once again, a brother and you can see that he cannot even smile or say goodbye to him at the very end of the cutscene
Oh… this breaks my heart. I didn’t think of that
Oh man....
@@MissKyliee But Titus knew the outcome before the fight... it was his only option not only to save Yuna but also the world.
But Wakka ends up being the luckiest one of all. No spoilers - you'll find out why in FF X2! 😝
@@johnharding792 You mean his wife? I say that to avoid spoilers myself.
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.
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.
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
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.
15 years of playing that story again and again and again. And I still cry each time I play the ending. That's how you know it was a good story.
Never let anyone run their mouth about FFX.
Yuna's writing is a master class in how to write a strong women that is still feminine.
Not every strong woman needs to act like and look like a man with a inferiority complex.
Well they took a few pages from the bible, that's for sure.
The Korean drama "Under the Queen's Umbrella" has some amazing female characters - especially the Queen herself.
As you say, female strength does not lie in physical power, but in their ability to bring out the best in others, or sometimes by setting a great example of how to live with honor, intelligence, courage, determination, and understanding.
Yuna and Lacus Clyne from Gundam seed are my 2 go tos for strongest female characters. Sure neither are physically strong (for that I'd say Aid from Danmachi), but mentally they're insanely strong people who do what's right even if it means going against the whole world.
Or have the need to repeat IM A WOMAN over and over. Lol.
If only Hollywood wasn't so bankrupt of all ideas, and especially talent when it comes to writing. Powerful REAL characters will beat woke checkbox tickers any day of the week!
"That's not true, you're a side quest"
Damn that's one for rare insults
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.
you are gonna make me cry again
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.
As much as I love Final Fantasy IX, this one is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Such an amazing journey
This ending is always a knife to the heart even 22 years later
I played FFXV, and even after that arbitrary main ending, it doesn't hold up to this one. They didn't even look for another way for Noctis not to die.
"I wanted to see it...
WithYunaByMySide." -Tidus
Lol it always made me laugh how fast he said that line, I wish that was included in this reaction.
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.
i think she was remembering all the emotional memorable things that happened and the seymour wedding was one even if it was a negative memory.
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.
Words aren’t the only way to tell someone how you feel!
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.
@@greengardens6959 A better translation is "eternally grateful" in JP, which hits a lot different than "I love you", or just simply "thank you"
@@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.
This is one of those games I wish I could go back and play for the first time again, such an amazing experience.
Yup 100%
hehe, if u play this game again, u will remember all memories when you play for first time😊
@@Muhammadalif-mn6mh I play through the game at least once a year, it's never quite the same as the first time though. One of my all time faves!
Thank you for enabling me to vicariously re-experience the profound emotionality of this again ♥
Aww :) You are welcome
“I was hoping for a happier ending” omg the way you said that I was crying right with you girl 😭😭😭
😭😭
You were just randomly recommended to me. And I must say I'm a sucker for seeing people play my favorite JRPG for the first time. I love this game and I just love seeing people going thru the motions of this game and its ending. I'm glad you experienced this Final Fantasy. In my eyes it is just timeless.
Welcome :) Thank you for watching my playthrough. I don’t think I’ll ever forget about this game or feel the same ever again :(
This is how I felt at age 18-ish when FFX first came out. I cried for ages. I'm crying again watching it here over 20 years on. What an amazing emotional experience. 😢❤
I'm a grown man, it still gets me :(
the journey was quite something huh
Same for me. Played it at release and cried that hard. Now 20 years later to see this, i cried again. I think ff10 is the one game i never forget even after the next 20 years. Is one of the emotionales games ever.
Same
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
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!
Thanks for sharing your story bro. That's the power of FFX. The Fayths consume us all.
I remember my buddy making me play this at his house after school everyday for about a week. The finale and this scene ended up happening at like 5am and were both on the bed like trying to hide the fact that were both totally crying lol. Oh highschool memories . damn this one got me.
I remember playing this for the first time when I was back at school in my early teens. I clearly remember rushing home every night after school and playing this game until bed time every night until it was finished. It really was an incredible journey and story. And yep, I cried like a baby at the end, and just remember feeling a huge hole in my chest for a long time after. It hits hard no matter what age you are, but I am certain it hit me even harder as young teen. It's easily one of my favourite games ever made and I still have Final Fantasy X posters in my room to this day.
What a cool memory. :)
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.
This is me! It sounds like a total cliché but the game changed my life. I started learning piano afterwards to be able to play To Zanarkand and all the memories of the game is just stuck with me. Now watching these videos after 20 years actually makes my body ache in some weird way.
@@Uw3N that's super cool it leaded ot you learning piano, hope you still do !
I'm pretty sure the most choked up that I got in the game when when Auron was disappearing as Yuna began her send-off towards the end. He was easily my favorite character in the game and favorite male character of ANY Final Fantasy game either before or since.
I am 36yrs old now - When I played this game as a teenager in 2001-2002 This was the 1st game that almost made me cry
The ending Song playing Suteki Da Ne (Isn't it wonderful) is a masterpiece of a ballad.
FFX is in my top 5 games of all time
1:10:14 After talking things over with that historian guy, I gotta say, Yunalesca comes off as one of the most subtle and insidious villains EVER.
I love that she writes down stuff that she discovers! So cool! I subscribed.
Aw thank you :D
Shows how much effort she put into the game. Stunning.
Can't believe I sat and watched an almost 2 hour reaction to a game playthrough! ^_^
Thank you for watching!!
This game and ff8 always hits the soft spot for me. Hits right in the feels.
Thank you. I know FF8 was super janky, esp against the backdrop of the last 1990s and the hype train started by FF7, but 8 was my first FF and it will always have a place in my heart. 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.
Yes, I've felt this way about all of the PS1-2 FFs; we didn't know it then, but we had been inducted into an eternal brother/sisterhood, and I'm so glad to have this connection with all of you, all of us.
1:53:30 "We did it." said though tears is a true FFX reaction.
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.. ❤
Don't know how I came across your video - thanks the CZcams algorithm - but it's so lovely to relive this game again. The story of FFX is always so heart-breaking. 😭
Glad you enjoy it!
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.
It's the darn whistle for me every time. I've seen this ending probably 50-100 times now and STILL cry every time.
awww ;-;
These kinds of endings are the best kinds of endings. They're the ones you remember. Having a "happy ending" is a trope and easily forgotten. But what happened in this game sticks with you because it's real.
This is one of my favorite games of all time. I remember playing this when it came out and I couldn't believe it was this deep. It's so sad, but also extremely beautiful. Any game that can stir with someone's emotions like this is a game with great storytelling. And I've also got to give you props for that edit because I cannot imagine how much time it took to combine all that, but it worked so well.
You're the best! Appreciate you
Me : "haha she's crying"
Also me : cries too.
lol
One of the greatest stories ever told. To this day even knowing exactly what happens, this ending makes me so damn sad. Everything from the visuals, dialogue and music are literally perfect. That perfection is the only way a scene can still be so emotionally impactful.
100%
Damn 20 years later I still LOVE this game just as much as the first time I played it as a young teenager. Still one of the best RPGs ever created.
the first time I played FFX was on ps2 in 2001 and I was not ready for an end like this
today I'm 30 Years old since the 1st February, and I'm still crying when I watch this end scene
I am 37 I too play it first in ps2 I love this game so much.
35 now and I remember just sitting in silent melancholic reflection for so long after everything finished. This game cuts deep
I love how millions of us all randomly gather, dozens at a time, in these sacred places throughout the years, often years and miles apart, just like in the Farplane. We didnt know it back then, but we had all been connected by FFX. We are the all changed. Imagine the joy in the dev team's faces when they think of the masterpiece of their entite careers, and how much it's touched everybody. I really love this fraternity and I'm so glad I was fortunate enough to have been inducted into it.
The sudden change to the potato filter in Zanarkand at such a pivotal moment storywise made me laugh so hard 😂 Seeing your reaction to Yunalesca's outfit with just the mouth and eyes was 10x funnier than it should have been to me
But seriously, thanks for uploading this. I love revisiting my favorite game alongside people, especially on their first playthrough. It's such a magical game, and I love seeing others' reactions
HAHA thank you!! Yea I usually do a potato filter when I need a break from the webcam, but I'm happen it added to the enjoyment xD
The Good news is you're not alone - we've all cried to this ending. The bad news is you will still cry every time you play this game and get to this point, it doesnt make it hurt less :D
Ya 😢
This was my very first game for the PS2 which I bought at 13 for myself. This game is my childhood and I love to replay and/or watch it regularly. Thank you for the emotional journey throught it once more.
Thank you for watching!
"That's not true! You're a sidequest!" - Most savage line of 2023
Haha
"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.
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
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.
Ty for sharing :)
Their love story progressed so naturally and perfectly. Amazing writing.
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.
Best story in any game. Never fails to punch you in the feels. Wonder if games will get this good again someday.
This is a really special game.
try Senuas Sacrifice.
I never thought I would come across another game series that would affect me emotionally as much as FFX did but Xenoblade Chronicles did. I wish I hadn't gotten into it so late starting with 3, but even just playing 3 by itself was an extremely emotional journey much like FFX was. I would recommend that series, starting with 1. I think it would be very worth it.
@@elitebeltyup Xenoblade got me too. This, Xenoblade, Chrono Trigger… easily in my top 5 games of all time.
Chrono Cross too.
Or Bloodbourne, easily the best built world. Also having 1 of the best combat system ever also elevates it to an extremely high level.
such an emotional game, I've watched so many reaction videos for that ending which is enough to break even the strongest of people. 2 hours well spent :)
Thank you for watching :)
"Hey, I was just going over your notes, you say you want a bittersweet ending the makes the player want to cry."
"I just felt the previous games ended TOO happily."
"Well that's fair. But just how much do you want the player to cry, exactly?"
"Yes."
then when making final fantasy xii i think we went a little bit too hard at the end of x. we ended up with one of the most underwhelming endings i have ever seen.
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. 😭
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.
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.
Hands down the best Final Fantasy and one of the best jrpgs in the history. Such a fantastic story, characters and gameplay
Yup!!!
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.
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
thanks for watching :) appreciate it
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.
1:30:10 never fails to have people with the same reaction when playing this game for the first time.
dude just didn't wanna die
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.
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.
Playing this through for the like, 5th time now! last time was 2020 and i've loved Yuna for like 20 years 🤣
As i kid i was soooo unable to process this ending i just cried and cried
Aww 🥺
This edit was so damn good. I got to relive all my memories and feels through you all over again. Your reactions were so good too. Got my sub today.
Aw thanks dude
Not just you girl, I never ever cried so much than with this game!
had a blast reliving this journey with you. i think you'll adore ff9, and i would love to see your reactions to it
I laughed with you and I cried with you, one of my all time favourite games. Thank you so much for this 💙
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
you made me relive that emotional rolelr coaster at the end!!! DAMN almost broke down crying AGAIN!
Stumbled on to your video randomly and have to say I enjoyed it! I haven't played this game for a long time so watching your reaction and the emotional roller coaster ride you were on great and very genuine! Can't wait to see your reaction to X-2 :)
I see a first-timer experience FFX’s ending, I click. This ending still makes me tear up. First time, I was straight BAWLIN’.
Whenever they sing the hymm(the one brother/cid and the ronso clan were singing) its so touching because they're singing it for the dead or the people who are going to die such as the summoners in the self sacrificial sense. It's the reason why you hear it at the temples and the reason why people from zanarkand(Jecht and Tidus) love that song so much because its sung for the dead, aka them. Its especially heart wrenching when you realize everyone is watching them make a journey to their deaths knowing its for everyone. This is also why Isaaru's line during the invasion at Home is so pure because they're the light in a world without a sun.
Your channel just showed up today with this video. I remember playing this back when it first released and going through the same emotional roller coaster you did here. I've played through it countless times and everytime it always hits me the same! Watching you go thru this, brough it it all back as if I was there playing it too. Such a powerful story and so well executed that it can bring out the same emotions across different people from different ages. Timeless classic doesn't even begin to describe it. Glad you loved it so much =D
This game is really special, and possibly one of the most beautiful ones out there, both in visuals and storytelling. The scene with the underwater kiss is absolutely gorgeous, and while the visuals are out of this world, just the themes and story is still really beautiful. Tidus tries to offer Yuna a way out, I'm pretty sure he already knows she wouldn't really take the option even if it existed, but it's him trying to give her hope, cheer her up, but also sort of make her own decision. It's such a beautiful love story between those two.
Doesn't matter how many times I watch this ending. Its such a beautiful experience ❤️
Based off of your lake reaction I knew the ending was gonn tear you apart lol
So many great memories packed into thus game, and the layers of detail they piled in was astounding. Your enthusiasm and compassion was infectious to say the least throughout this reaction.
A gut check I experienced in the battle with Yu Yevon involved my reliance of at least one party member equipped with sensor on thier weapon. The sensor reveals the Aeons begging you to defeat them, to end the cycle. The one I remember best was Ifrit, asking you to extinguish his flames. I know you didn't show battle clips, but just thought I'd share that tid bit.
I'll have to check other work you have done, as this was done so well.
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 :)
Thanks for watching :)
haven't played ffx in years. Seeing and hearing that "i love you" from yuna at the end made me tear up all over again.
I haven't played this game in 20 years, but God damn, that ending still hits like a truck.
I feel like I’m late to the game, but I cried alongside you while reliving the experience of this game. It’s the most beautiful game I’ve ever played. The themes of life and death, accepting loved ones who have left us… the dreams that have faded and how we should never forget them… that hits so close to home as somebody who has lost so many loved ones. It’s the most relatable subject we all share. We play games for escapism, but to have a game pull it back full circle is so tragic, truthful, and beautiful
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.
Heck ya, they were great!
20 something years later still one of the most moving endings to a game EVER
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.
what an amazing reaction video and man i cried through the whole thing your reaction brang back that first time feel for me. Thanks. Glad I came across this in my feed.
Wow, thank you!
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)
Thank you for watching 😊
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.
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!
i remember experiencing this when it first came out on the ps2. it was the first final fantasy game with voice actors, ohh the nostalgia. get to the chocobo race and the ptsd of trying to get the celestial weapons and having to finish that race with a time of 0.00. soo many emotions right now
Square did such a great job with this. Clannad feels
also.. 1:53:17 that was "JRPG" x)
hahaha
