That chick..... she had Silver hair and yellow ish eyes. The Silver hair isn't really surprising but yellow eyes, no one in Spira has yellow eyes as far as I know, hell only Lulu and Paine seem to be the only two with red eyes. That Silver haired chick looked really cool. I wonder if she ever had a planned name.........
Final Fantasy Union What BGM did you have playing throughout the video?
Hi FF Union! thx for this great video ! I HIGHLY recommend to also check out this video right here about further hidden Secrets in FF X .... enjoy czcams.com/video/hdZ_Wq8_-XQ/video.html
Final Fantasy Union when I saw the video pop up I was like “pffft I know all of this already...whelp TIL.
really fantastic video, well done
FFX has some of the most beautiful game music ever.
If you like it you should check out the music in the Ace Combat series. The best track is in my opinion "Zero" but also "Agnus Dei" "Daredevil" "archange" Seriously you wont regret it these tracks will make you want to fight against the entire planet by yourself. Im a sucker for any music with Latin vocals.
FFX certainly does have some great music. I think FFVIII has better music overall though. There's quite a few tracks in FFX where there's just not much going on, or the tracks are way too short.
As much as I love FFX very dearly, I still think FFXV has the best music in the series. Well, maybe because I like the musics that involves violin and piano since the soundtracks is full of these 2 instruments. As for FFX, Via Purifico is the best musics in the game.
Wandering flame
this game is all wrong, music included
The summons in this game was by far the best system in the series, they should have kept it
Yes, they could strengthen and improve it if they kept it
And then Final Fantasy 12 came along
Ff12 international let's you control espers, but who would use a summon in place of 2 party members?
@@Dakotaidk The summons in 10 look cool but damn. Mist Abilities and Summons in 12 tho
12 definitely changed things up but the game was fun
I'm glad Auron remained a separate character from Jecht. Older characters who serve as surrogates and mentors are interesting archetypes I personally like seeing in media, especially JRPGs. Badass characters are almost always depicted as gruff or independent, but fatherly or motherly figures with pasts outside of the plot come across as stronger and far more relatable to me. Auron's arc in particular resonates with me; his sudden outburst when he confronts Yunalesca for the second time hits hard. The fact that Auron honors his word to Braska and Jecht out of brotherhood and self-accountability rather than blood relation makes Auron's character who he is, in addition to his excellent voice actor and writing.
Aside from Matt McKenzie, Hedy Burress and JAT make this game for me. Wouldn't be the same without Hedy's giggle or Tidus's ponderous monologues.
Just an unbelievable piece of art all round, so well planned and implemented
Auron is just the best Final Fantasy character in my opinion. I'd love to meet someone like him
Auron is one of my two favourite fictional characters including all media.
I cannot believe how well this game holds up to this day, it’s beautiful.
I loved the battle system in this game. It was perfect. Too bad everyone is slobbering over action RPGs and hate turn base.
Pendragon44321 agreed, wish they’d keep ff the same and let the other 90% of games action based.
There's still lots of good turn based games lol. If you haven't, play dragon quest 11. Game was great and pretty lengthy
Poiblazer yeah but I think they want it in the ff series. But ff7 remake is making it turn base and action. If they perfect that, then the game will have both battle systems everyone wants
I love it too but I think X-2 improved on it. It was basically the same but with more urgency. It made you feel pressured as you had to work fast and think ahead to your next moves. You couldnt just think about your moves for 10 minutes. You had to work on the fly and the speed stat played a much more important role. Comebine that with one of the best class systems in the series and the garment grids and you have one of the best JRPG combat systems ever made.
@@TexasGreed X-2 was really just a revamp of the ATB system that was first introduced in FF4 on the SNES. FFX had a more complex turn base system than many people gave it credit for that meant you really had to prioritize strategy (unless you grinded some levels).
Who else remembers being up at 3 in the morning on a saturday trying to keep count of all the lightning bolts you dodged.
Only 10:23 here atm, but got hit after 112. So I decided to take a break and this showed up in my recommendations.
memories XD anyway I want to play again but my copy is broken ):
Back in high school I had a friend staying over and I decided to tackle the lightning bolts, he took a calculator and did 1+1 then =. Every time he pressed = again it would +1. I just kept dodging while he kept track, I didn't want to know how many I'd dodged or how many I had left to go. Eventually I got struck, and before he would tell me he said we should step outside so as to not wake my parents. 191..9 short. This number has haunted me since, I see it everywhere despite eventually getting 200 like.. A couple years later. Day I graduated gas was 1.91 a gallon for example.
I can't even dodge 10, the plains were my nightmare
@@KeluRolen sorry, can you explain better your strategy, please?
This is one of the best ffx facts you didn’t know ive seen in a long time. For once I didn’t know about any of them. Easily my favourite ffx game. Thanks man.
You're most welcome Mase :)
@@FinalFantasyUnion THTS NY NICKNAME
@@FinalFantasyUnion Can u plz tell me the name of the music in the bacground thanx
Offhand observation here, but man... that shot at the end of the video of Tidus in the water looking up with the grin on his face is still really striking! No wonder they used it as the game cover (at least in the U.S.). All the color blue and the ruins in the background is just a really, really beautiful shot. I haven't seen it in a long time, and it's really cool.
I love FFX, my first foray into the FF series and my favorite game of all time.
it's a iconic masterpiece ♥️
My first FF and still my favorite game of all time. It's just a masterpiece and holds a special place in my life.
Same here!
Someone who understands me
Best game of all time! Grew up on this game. Deadass thinking about getting the Jecht symbol tatted on me
This game changed my childhood. I still play it on my PS-4 absolutely love it.
I remember constantly renting this game when I was four years old. Making it past the zanarkand tutorial but always dieing / getting stuck at geosagneo or whatever the first water boss was lol
I came in expecting to know all the facts as I've watched several "# facts you didn't know about FFX" videos...I knew none of them. Excellent research. Thank you.
You're most welcome Nathan, glad you enjoyed it! :)
One fact he didn't seem to research is how to correctly say Tidus. It's been long confirmed to be TEE-dus.
JAT is Tidus and even in one of his CZcams video he thanks Jack for casting him in that role. I think this was his breakout role and now he well know VA. I love his Obi Wan but James Arnold Taylor is alway Tidus to me and he always happy to come back to voice him.
JAT is also great as Ratchet in the Ratchet and Clank games
J o h n n y T e s t
Jat is that ugly thing from drawn together
I cried at the end of this game, so good. Miss games like this.
Yeah, Lulu's victory pose really adds to her character.
She is asserting her independence, and showcasing a bold unapologetic personality.
@@guyver441 Never thought of that. Thanks for pointing it out!
@@guyver441 yeah and also it shows off her boobs
@@guyver441 Motivation to keep grinding lol. Many 12 year old's found the drive to keep leveling because of the mammary's...ahem....memory's, she provided.
This response killed me 😂😂
Legend says, fans of FFX still sing the Hymn of Fayth till date... So do I..
EEE AIII OOUUU EEEEE MOTO BENOOO
I find it funny that they wanted to cast nobodies, but JAT, Tara Strong, and John DiMaggio became some of the biggest voice actors of the century.
I was just thinking I was sure the woman who voiced rikku was the voice of timmy Turner 😂
They got Tom Kenny in there too
@@kyan3022 I'm not gonna be able to unsee this xD
I absolutely love this game. I literally cried at the ending of the game. Still my most prized PS2 game.
agree, Neji ^^
I finished it again last month but with the Sin Unleashed difficulty mod, and it was the best FF experience I've ever had. And I've played them all apart from XV.. Such a beautiful game, and the battle system is just brilliant. Masterpiece
same. this game and it's story were my favorites on my ps2. it was the best game ever to me; at least until i played KH1 but those were simpler times. to this day i still tear up when i hear auron's theme. then i again i still cry over zack when nobody's around so maybe it's just me..
@@chrismac4441 Bro my PS2 gave my FFX-2 and FFXII the ring of death a few years ago but my other PS2 games work well, however, I am terrified of trying to play FFX because I don't want it to get the ring of death too. The game is near flawless and as you rightly said a masterpiece.
@@chrismac4441 I've played 300+ hours on FFX and it is the first time that I listen about this mod... O_o
If you pay attention, most victory poses, especially by blade weilding characters, in any jrpg, they're less posing and more shaking the blood off their blades.
Even as exagerated as they are in some cases, you can still see it.
Cloud's sword spin is a good example
Earth: auron is a pateint, tactical, nurturing figure who was the backbone of the group.
Mercury: Wakka likes blitzball
At first I doubted you could provide any facts I didn't know of already, since I have been playing the game since it came out on ps2 and already seen numerable “fact videos“, but I must say you did you surprise me with this one. Good job! 👍
FFX will always be one of my favourites! Such a beautiful game.
Such a masterpiece. This really broke the wall for my gaming experience as a 12 year old in 2004.
Great story, solid battle system.
The part where the translator changes the planets associated with the characters ressembles a discussion over the difference between two versions of the poem "The Crow", written by Edgar A. Poe, which are Portuguese translations of this poem.
The first version, which was written by Machado de Assis, keeps the structure, but it doesn't preserves its catarsis well. The second, which was written by Fernando Pessoa, breaks up completelly with the structure of the poem, but its meaning and catarsis were preserved. All of this discussion made me see how the translation matter is more difficult than people usually think.
the design of this game transcended almost anything I had played before.. I kept questioning why I found it so immersive and never able to fully understand it, which made me love it even more
Huge FFX fan so coming in I had a very jaded outlook of "Oh, boy, let's see what 'facts' they're gonna have that I supposedly won't know...." and will say that wow, ya'll definitely surprised me. Great video!
-monster dies.
-lulu flashes her bo*bs at the crowd over dying monsters
-Me: Hmm This is something new :D
Hot
Great video. I honestly didn’t know any of these. FFX is one of my favourite games ever made and I’m glad, close to 20 years on, it’s still as loved by so many.
Really wish FF would go back to ATB or Turn Based someday
I mean ATB wasn't bad in ff 13 I'd would have loved to be able to position my characters tho.
I pray to this every day since FFX2 XD
It will never happen
@@Monstermash355 unfortunately modern players adhd won't allow it
Unfortunately, it seems ATB and turn based will be relagated to only spinoffs now. Square seems to be moving towards action only for the main series. We'll see when XVI comes out, but i will assume that one will be action as well.
Here's hoping they surprise us.
Best Final Fantasy hands down
Lmao, don't get me wrong, I love the game but it is no way in hell the best one.
I love FFX, it’s in my top 3 of the series
FFX is my personal favorite, but hands down is a hot take
It's a very good Final Fantasy Game.
The World and the Characters are all reasonable and have great backstorys that make sense.
It has a great Art Style, Combat System, Good Endgame, Addictive Midmaxing skills, and so many more stuff wich fits perfectly together.
And uh oh the Music is just awesome and fits all the places you visit.
The Atmosphere is so great, and everytime I play this Game i have the feeling that Spira must be somewhat real or maybe has existet a long time ago.
Just listen to the original Besaid Island OST.
You can hear the Island, and you can really feel the spirit of that Place in this track.
If you are an empath like me there are points in this Game where you can really feel and relate to the Characters.
I can't describe it with words, but this Game is soo deep.
1. FFVII
2. FFVI
3. FFX
I love this game but 15 took the cake for me, now ima wait and see if ff7 remake comes back even stronger then 15
Holy shit, I never thought I'd see mention of yaz0r's work on a CZcams video so long after! I actively use the FFXView still as a study for 3d models, rigging and the texture styles. Big props for the mention!
I loved playing this game as a teenager. I didn't have many friends nor were my parents home around because they were so busy with work, so this game comforted me for many years. I miss playing it for the first time very much!
The funural scene ( the sending) is a scene that has been stuck with me since the first time I saw it.
So sad, yet so magical, wonderfull music and back in the days that graphic was from another world.
Till this day, I'll never understand why they scraped Cloud's buster sword in FFX! THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME!
They should have included it in the HD Remasters! Great list, Darryl!
You can actually get Cloud and his Buster Sword in Tactics. Been playing that game off and on for over 15 years and I JUST learned about it last month. Lol.
@@zeropolicy7456 it's a shame he's one of the worst units in the game though
@@jamiecranton Eh, he has his uses. Give him Short Charge and spam some of his faster statusy limits and he can wreak havoc~ Still, it is a long way to go compared to characters that are awesome by default like Agrias, Orlandeu, and Reis~
Not needed! The BROTHERHOOD is the coolest sword ever! Get it? Get it?
...because it has water inside it😳😳
@@GamingWithAce85 There's ice swords in the game...
FFX was the best Final Fantasy of all of them. I always had tears in my eyes meanwhile watching this video. This game is so beautiful and I have played it many many times through. And I would do it again.
Ive never finished it from when i was a kid i plan to someday when i get a chance i look forward to it
Where is your profile picture from?
Every time I watch these I think I'll know at least 50% of the facts... Always pleasantly surprised! Love how much research you guys do.
These videos are always so well done; thank you!
You're most welcome YamaAgni! Glad you enjoyed :)
Without a doubt the best Things You Didn't Know about FFX video out there. As a man that FFX provided an escape from a troubled upbringing, thank you for showing me that there are still things to unravel about this game almost 20 years later. Can't tell you how much this game means to me.
Is anyone else like replaying ffx for the xth time?
MCCiabattaGrande I’ve played the game 17 times across 6 consoles.
Me rn. Found a new appreciation to the slow, tactical pace compared to FF7R's chaotic Hard mode. It's great to just chill and have *fun.*
Ive been playing it since i was 15 lol im 32 now and i still play it.
I couldnt tell you how many times ive completed this game 😅😅
clicked the video with a laugh and a "try me" but you didn't disappoint, nice work
Listen to my story...
This may be my 15th time
Edit: Grammar (Hope the SS pays well)
I remember Final Fantasy X and X-2 received the most cosplay out of all the final fantasy's
We need MORE FF X / X-2 info!!!!! But thanks for doing the research on this! Loved the bit with the voice actors towards the end!
This was really well done, I was expecting 6 generic facts and maybe one I didn't know, but you dug deep and got some good ones. Nice job.
i just love this masterpiece 😍♥️
This is probably one of the only facts videos that I've watched where I legitimately did not know most of the info provided! Thank you.
12 year old me learned things about my body because of Lulu.
haha for me it was Riku, granted all the female characters were HOT when I got the game when i was a kid.
Rikku took off her jumpsuit near the shoopuff area...that ass shot
🤣
@@infinitejustice86 just remember, she's 15... Art for art's sake can always be appreciated. But... 15 is kinda young.
@@mattsully2238 when cartoons/animation have to be 18 lol
FFX is one of those wonder games that are not only truly ahead of its time but that everyone should play. I wish Square Enix had the balls to deliver another timeless game like this and FF 12 :\
I loved this episode. You guys should do an episode on X-2
Great video! Love that you actually did research and gave lesser known facts rather than all the mainstream ones! Can't get over your pronunciation of Tidus, sadly xD
This channel is what actually convinced me to fully jump into the final fantasy series after only playing 7 remake and 15
2:50 I just realized that everyone in this game wears a necklace. Siggghhh I love this game :3
That FFX ending theme when Yuna sacrificed the aeons... All the aeons vanishing.... This was to me more sad than the Tidus scene
Dope video. I have played this game a ton and was surprised at how much of this video I truly didn't know!!
As a westerner, I always felt having Kimahri assined with saturn is because he is an outcast, like saturn gets cast asside and banned by Rhea after Zeus won against him (and also because his horn is broken and saturn gets robbed of his manhood, so ...) and Wakka is assigned to Iuppiter because he is the member in the group who protects his religious believes the most, like Iuppiter protects the cities with the biggest/most temples in ancient greece and rome. So in a way, I found it fiting.
This game was brilliant
Second after my fav ff7
Fast paced
Easy switching in and out of battle
Character development is you know what to do
Just amazing you can just focus on what type of player focus skills if desired
Just amazing
Bought this game for Ps2, Ps3, Ps4 and Nintendo Switch. Basically, I love this game.
Time to get the PC edition it seems, get on it!
Love ur inference... brought my understanding of the celestial systems to another level... man i didnt know the soundtrack were subtle hints until u mention "...dream will end...." ok.. subscribed!!
Still one of my favorite games of all time!!! Top 5 forever!
I see what you did there.
Gotta make sure those key search words are there in the title: Final, Fantasy, 7
Here is one most of you don't know.
Final Fantasy 7 is a confirmed sequel to X and X-2. It takes place 1000 years after shinra successfully uses vegnagun to extract mako energy from the farplane with Rins financial compensation. The buster sword you see in 10 isn't clouds, it's the original bustersword and it's different from clouds slightly for a reason. They chose for some reason to remove it on release and it was never explained why.
The interview:
―Is there a connection, for example, with Shinra’s name, which of course reminds one of FFVII? The “last mission” line and Rin’s “I am not alone in my thinking” line from “Detective Rin” have strong implications. Nojima: “As a matter of fact, yes. Shinra quits the Gullwings, receives enormous financial assistance from Rin and uses Vegnagun to extract mako energy from the Farplane. However, he can’t complete the system to utilize the energy in a single generation, and the Shin-Ra Company is built on another planet in the future once travel to distant planets is possible, and stuff like that … Those things happen about 1000 years after this story, though.”
―So the story of FFVII is after that? Nojima: “I guess you could say those are the feelings I have about it. When I think about the characters, those are the images I already see. Shinra is a good kid, and yet his descendants are going to be like the President. (laughs)” Watanabe: “Speaking of VII, after being told about the Shinra scenario, one of the staff members said he arranged the camera work for the first time you see the Bevelle Underground to ‘feel like something you’ve seen before.'” Toriyama: “That’s right, it looks like the opening shot of Midgar in FFVII.”
I loved the bit about the voice actors, the characters are bigger than the voices of those characters
I feel so relaxed watching your videos
James Arnold Taylor:Voice actor of Tidus.
Me:So he's also Johnny Test and Ratchet? That's amazing!
The decision to cast Lena Headey and Sean Bean in Kingsglaive was a strange one in my opinion. It wasn't so much the casting themselves, it was the fact that they only did it for the film and not for the game, which made it a pretty jarring transition.
I don't understand the stubborness in pronouncing the name wrong. Should we call Yuna Yuhna instead of yoona? I remember as a kid watching the TV commercial for the game and it was always Teedus.
Great choice in background music.
Great information shared here Thank you,
Whts the name of the music?
Was my first FF game and still the best one for me.. i mean 7,9 and 12 are really good games but ffx .. the Story.. the Feelings.. the Emotions HOLY ffx is perfect
It's funny I see this a week after starting ffx again for the 6th time in 4 years! I have never played a game that captivated me so much, especially the first ever time I played it in 2005!
wasn't aware of their method for voice casting, that's pretty neat. my favorite from this video was the kiros reference! and also i'm thinking that 4:02 character must have been re-used in the form of Paine?
Interesting video :)
Some other facts people may not know, related to FFX:
1) Uematsu had originally written "To Zanarkand" for a flutist friend of his, but they said it was "too gloomy". He used it in the game instead.
2) A popular Hong Kong artist (Sammi Cheng) copied Rikku's look in one of her music videos, "wonder woman".
The fact that we are still talking about this masterpiece 20 years later proves how good of a game it really is.
Great video. I will always come back for more FFX content.
Man. 4 minutes in I don’t know if I can watch this video. This game was such a huge part of my childhood I’ve probably beating it 6 times and at one point defeated dark shiva
That was an awesome video! Thank you for posting this. I can't tell you how much I loved this video, from the unique facts, your calm demeanor, and lovely and beautiful music! I needed a pick me up which this (maybe strangely?) did. Thank you! Liked and Subscribed.
It’s amazing to think that twenty years ago FF IX And X were developed at the same time and now, Square Enix along with many other companies will only develop one game at a time
great research man, i thought i knew almost everything i could about ffx but i didn't know any of these!!
finally something i actually did not know :D thank you so much, even after so many years !!!
Not gunna lie, I love that little nod to the god-tier NIN/DNC in the FFXI snippet.
I really enjoyed this video. I have played so many hours in this game. Also great soundtrack for your video.
Thank you for this insightful video, this is my favorite FF of all time. This game brings back memories of my teen years.
Dude - what is the music you have playing in the background on this video - it's lovely!

20 seconds in and you hit us with JACprodutions, thats bringing back some good memories
I've played this game since its release on ps2 and still can't bring myself to beat it before I restart...I don't want ff10 to ever end I guess. Best final fantasy with the most gripping story, amazing soundtrack and emotional cutscenes imo.. love it forever
I remember playing this for the 1st time an just thinking wow this is a technical achievement that a home console is producing and not a pc
“Far too ambitious”...
*FFXII pops up on the screen*
FFX is my favorite. Thanks for this.
The celestial weapons were hard as fuck, took me over 400 hours of trying to complete the lighting dodges 200 times in a row. Insanely hard & still the most fucking underrated achievement ever.

this game was my introduction the the ff series when i was 19. been hooked ever since
WOW I thought I knew them all! Very interesting stuff! Thanks for your work!
Kimahri being partnered with Saturn is pretty accurate. Saturn was connected to the Greek's Cronus in Roman myth and was exiled from Olympus by Zeus. That reflects Kimahri not being welcomed on the sacred Mt. Gagazet. Also, Saturn was taught agriculture and peaceful ways, which reflect the Ronso's connection to the earth and their worshiping of the planet.
