Jecht: "I'm sorry." Tidus: "That's enough! Let's finish this, okay?" This part got me. He spent most of his life hating his father, now he finally meets him, and realized he wasn't such a bad guy. He stopped his father's sentimental talk, because he was afraid he would lose his will to do what needed to be done. To destroy his father before Sin claimed him completely. One of the most emotionally charged scenes in the game.
The way Jecht says "You've really grown" is done perfectly. He wants to say something nice, compliment his son, but he's no good at that kind of stuff. All he can say is that Tidus has really grown, but the way he says it gives it weight, like behind those 3 simple words he's also saying he's happy to see the man Tidus has become
Yeah, I love how awkward Jecht is at the father stuff. He misses Tidus. Seeing him again has been his motivation along the journey. He's been looking forward to seeing him for who knows how long and what comes out of his mouth? "Hah, You got tall but you're all bones. You eating right, boy?". Then he immediately corrects himself and says "... you've really grown."
Yeah, I always loved that out of the two parents Tidus had, Jecht was the one who always thought of Tidus while Tidus's mother neglected him, especially after Jecht disappeared.
….This means that Jecht was mentally resisting entire takeover from Yu-Yevon for 10 years. And Auron kept himself human as an unsent for all that time. The sheer willpower of my boys ❤
Tidus is low key a badass despite being a cry baby, the guy had to endure killing his father to save the world and also end himself. There was nothing to win for him, he gained control over his own life by ending it to save others. He is an amazing character and it's inspiring.
Because his detractors have carried on since the original game about him being justifiably upset about a lot of things in the game. That and the laughing scene.
I always cry. This fucking game is soooooo good, I love its awesome story and awesome gameplay. I lost count how many times I played this game. I love it.

It's just too bad that it was like the easiest boss battle either. Admittedly, I spent a SHITLOAD of time leveling and getting all of their Celestial weapons... even the Onion Knight, but still. I beat Sin/Jecht in like 3 hits and he barely even damaged us. It was severely disappointing. They could've made the fight much, much more difficult.

@@sirdamned9272 I understand the point you're making but the amount of time it takes to gather all of those weapons and upgrades is immense.

Love this scene so much. I can't understand why people say Tidus English voice was bad. James Taylor gave a phenomenal performance and it really shows in this and the Macalania Lake scene.
I think if they had to do this with today's technology where they could re-lipsync everything the performance would have been a lot better. The only reason that some of it comes off as awkward is the timing of the mouth movements in some places didn't allow for a more natural phrasing in the dialog. Overall it was really well done and the emotion is perfect despite those few moments. People complain too much.
The line delivery throughout the entire game for Yuna and Tidus are terrible. Almost as if the actors can barely get out their lines. Both characters bring down the seriousness of what’s happening on several occasions.
I get FFX is all about a tragic impossible love story between Yuna and Tidus - but I think there's also a lot more than just Yuna Tidus. Tidus grew from hating his father to actually understanding him, that's why when he says the "I hate you" at the beginning, he means it in a loving way and not like back in the beginning of the game. I loved that father-son development and this is why Tidus is a lot more mature than some might say. Noctis is a bigger cry baby than Tidus and yet people make him look like he's the most badass character of all FF.
while i don't think of noctis as a crybaby (most of the shit he gets is somewhat justify but you have to watch the animated movie to see some of it but) you are right about tidus, he gets alot of shit for having actual parental problems that doesn't fall to "my family is dead, feel sorry for me" after all tidus blames jecht for his mothers death and the verbal, emotional and maybe even (unknown but maybe) physical abuse. honestly the most bitchy characters to me is most of the FF13 cast (altho i know i don't care for FF13 so i know i have some bias) and vaan lol
ZeroTheHeartlessKing XIII had the worst cast as a whole lol I agree. What pissed me off about Noctis was how he just got so irritating after Lunaria's death, I get he loved her but he barely gave a shit about Ignis losing his sight and made it all about himself as if he's friends were burden. I did actually like him back when he sat one last time with his friends and thanked them.
I really have to hand it to Gregg Berger in this scene. He does a great job of letting Jecht’s real emotions seep through the tough talk with his inflection and timing with the dialogue. In a dub that has a history of being questionable, I’ve never been disappointed with his performance. Plus, the guy was Grimlock in the original Transformers cartoon.
history of being questionable? I've been an active member of this community for the past 20 years and I never heard this before, moreover it is still superb even by today's standards, the only thing that did age in this game are the graphics.

@@Ninjamohawk'm sorry to hear that. My dad isn't dead, but he would single me out a lot for being autistic, but he shows he actually does care with the way he makes sure I am properly fed. He would always bother me if I'm not eating well(eating junk food in place of actual food).
God FFX was such a great game. I got this game now but I can’t help and admire these scenes. Such strong stuff. Imagine if Squall and Laguna had a scene like this...
@Kurt2012007 I didn't know until I spoke to Kiros saying something like you look like your mother. It really makes sense as Laguna and Raine were together like 16 yrs ago and Squall is around same age.
@Kurt2012007 well if you talked to laguna before you went to fight ultimecia he tells squall that he has something to tell him afterwards so I'm assuming he told squall after he returned
I know this comment is like 5 years old and it's not exactly the same as here but if you've never seen it look up "Enjoy the Now Squall and Laguna" from Dissidia and it's fan service of the highest caliber
Honestly my most saddest scene in all of FF is when Tidus meets his dad (Jecht), the dialogue, the emotion it’s so so sad, so gut-wrenching. When Tidus says ‘I hate you’. You can feel the pain and anguish in Jechts voice, the regret, and the anger and sadness in Tidus and also how much he actually loves his dad, that’s just his way of saying ‘I love you’. Because he chases after him immediately to catch him when he falls. He’s been dying to see him the whole game, and actually only gets a few tragic minutes with him. It’s the biggest tragedy in all of FF for me makes me cry this father-son relationship 😢. The music too in that scene too 😢. Tidus had so much character development from hating his dad to forgiving him and loving him, and from a young kid to becoming a man and taking the reigns. I mean it was his idea to kill Yunalesca and Sin. Other scenes that come to mind is Jecht and Braskas goodbye to Auron with Aurons plea to stop, Aurons sending and of course the ending scene 😢
This scene right here is what defines Final Fantasy in my opinion. To this day I maintain of all the modern FF games (PS1 forward), this one is the best in terms of story and character development. I know that's going to piss off a lot of FFVII fans, but this game had so much heart.
I played through as they released in the day, and themes and story and the general world of this are the most "real/raw" of all them. Religion, cycles of history, pursing the only option available as it the least worst option or throw all chips on table. A death march. I love them all VII-X, but this was the best and now I think more so as an adult.
My favorite was VI out of all of them but X is definitely up there. Tactics(ps1) had a very good story too though but I can't decide whether or not it beats X. The stories for both can't really be compared too much because they're too different. The only thing close between the two I can think of is the end. I loved VII but I'm not afraid to admit that it is kinda overrated.
I agree; I think after all that Tidus had been through and learned, he realized how good of a person his father was and felt sad about having to kill him. Poor Jecht.
Difference between this version and the original Japanese is that Tidus calls his dad baka, instead of saying I hate you, right off the bat. And Auron says sorry to Jecht instead of "I know", for being late.
Especially when it was intentional!! They break down into actual laughter afterward. It blows my mind that so many people fail to comprehend that scene, lol
Lol. Gotta love his resolve to still crack a dad joke there of all places. Just imagine if he kept it going. "Well I am sin you know!" "Dad, I'm serious." "Hey there, serious. I'm dad!.... And Sin." "I hate you." "I know."
Kids these days sadly won't experience the joy and excitement 90's kids had when games had heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears poured into a project. When Jecht re-emerged as the beast and the intro song played I lost my shit and had so much adrenaline for this battle. Coming off of ff 7, 8 and 9, 10 blew me out of the water. When I first saw the intro I knew I was in for a wild ride.
Tidus hates his dad as much as he DOESN'T want, to hate his dad. Like their is a miscarried relationship between them. So Tidus has a kind of unjustified love or connrection to his father AND an equally as justified loathing of him. Whatever way you slice it, hes heartbroken. Jecht became a better man in soul when he became sin. .The world had to end for him to realise the love for his son. Tragic af. So this is the first truly authentic moment between them. Oof.
Remember in the beginning in a flashback scene when tidus mom says “if he (jecht) dies you’ll never be able to tell him how much you hate him.” Makes this scene here make even more sense. This game is deep
Jecht had a bit of brilliance there that you don't get until later. Normally when an Aeon is defeated everything about it vanishes. But his sword remained despite him shifting back down. So knowing that the current body was about to be defeated Yu-Yevon fled to await the Final Aeon that it would take over once the old host is destroyed. But likely it couldn't break the link fully until the old one was gone but since Jecht left that part behind, it anchored Yu-Yevon to it, long enough that Yuna could unsummon any she might have had out during the battle. So faced with the fact that there was no other host, just the remaining power of the old body, Yu-Yevon is forced to absorb what it can to begin making its new form and leaving it open until then.
Jecht is my favorite character in FFX. His design is striking, his sword is stupid and badass simultaneously, and his story is one of my favorites. Tidus was a small kid and a bit of a cry baby, and positive encouragement was only going so far, so Jecht became this mountain for Tidus to overcome, as a professional blitzball player he knew that competitive rivalry motivates both parties to be better then ever. It was all reverse psychology. When he leaves Zanarkand for the real world, we see the man behind the antagonistic facade, he is confused, he is homesick, he misses his family, and finds happiness in the new friends he made and the fun adventures they are having.
Still my 2nd fav FF game of all time with FF7 at #1 but there are moments I put this one ahead of FFVII..and top 10 of RPGS I’ve played in my lifetime so far … this scene is still gives me chills but can play it over and over again
I actually understand what Tidus is going through here. I used to think the old guy I lived with (not related to me, but raised me) was just a quiet heartless man who didn't really care about us kids. Later I learned about scars from Vietnam that he never really got over. And he had to deal with my mooch of a grandmother. He could've tried to open up more. I suppose he did his best though, in the way he knew how. That love-hate relationship I had with him endures to this day. It's complicated. He was 63 when I left. in 2010. Haven't seen the man since.
Interestingly, he was gonna be disguised as Jecht. Sadly the developers didn’t want to give him a bigger role. While this helps focus Tidus’s story more, I feel that it wasted Jecht’s potential since he’s a pretty interesting character.
The ending when Tidus defeats Sin, he cries while holding his father while saying “I hate you” but you can hear it in his voice he truly wanted to say “I love you dad” before his sending. This scene makes me cry every time.
Lots of folks say they don't understand why the voice acting is hated - I don't understand the people who say THAT! I feel like several key moments are almost ruined by awkward acting...at least if you're playing with a friend, 'cause then you really notice awkwardness. I'm just speculating, but I can't help but think it's not the actors' faults. Who knows if they were fed the story details and blocking and stuff in a structured or chronological way? Lots of lines feel like they were recorded completely in a vacuum or something. I don't know, but I struggle to believe voice actors like these ones are actually just that bad. Plus several of their lines are damn amazing. Also, the laughing scene will not be your strawman, I think the bad laughter is awesome and it's super obvious that it's intentional. Anyway. The only characters who never, ever have bad lines are Auron and Jecht, they are unstoppable badasses
They both had issues in theyre relationship and jecht could have done better as a father but it never changed the fact that they will always love eachother
Favorite scene of all-time favorite game (to play; in terms of story I hold VII a little higher). This game's story is so amazing and so beautifully told that I don't even mind how absolute shit I am against Braska's Final Aeon.
Auron is the most important factor in the story. Sin/Jecth and Tidus are immortals as they exist outside reality and Jecth can pull him out of it but without Auron, he might not be able to control Sin to travel in the dream Zanarkand that's why he teased Auron being late because this is their gambit in ending the cycle. Only Tidus can help Jecth to gain more control to Sin so they can lure the Yu yevon out. Without Auron, they have to wait again until Jecth can gain some control of his own as sin and Spira would be atleast 50% destroyed by then.
Man in my very first run of this game, I didn't train enought and that btch Seymmour killed me like 100 times at gagazet (I was really young). Had to watch the stupid cutscene everytime XD I was so mad repeating the script
What continues to bother me to this day is - I can't figure out what the hell Yu Yevon is. If I were to go off the storyline, Yu Yevon was a human summoner but hell if what we fight at the end looks, or even acts human to me. I mean... he comes across as what the game portrays him as, a parasite, one that infects and possesses Aeons. Wasn't he said to have been Lady Yunalesca's father or... something?
He was the High Summoner of Zanarkand during the war againts Bevelle. During the war they were outmatched and Bevelle was determined to destroy them. So he asked the surviving people of Zanarkand to help him summon a great power and they would become his "shield". He's a parasite of some sort since it's like a final command thinking that they are still at war since the summons are shells of souls he would always merge with them since he has more power over the collected souls.
Yu Yevon created Sin and ascended to what he is now to win the war against Zanarkand...the problem is, the war never ended. All this time later, Sin still exists to inflict sorrow and misery on Spira. Ironically, Bevelle turns to religion as a way to "escape" this fate, worshipping the very being who damned Spira to a cycle of death.
Jecht : You re late Auron. Auron: I know . With that words reunited this good friends . That to they want this two was defeat Sin and reunited with the other friend Brasha. From Tidus was hard too. All this years hate his father and he realised who loved him and must kill him to free him to become Sin.
Voice acting in this game is great, some line delivery doesn’t sound natural because 1. English lines had to match up to existing Japanese lip sync (like where Tidus says “That’s enough!”) and 2. Apparently there was a glitch where if the English voice clip ran longer than the Japanese voice clip, it would crash the game or something, so the localization team HAD to make the English line equal length or shorter (like when Tidus says “Hi” it sounds rushed and cut off). The restrictions definitely make a few lines in the game sound weird, but the rest sounds great.
I always assumed she wanted to thank him for protecting her father during his pilgrimage and wanted to apologize for how things turned out. Becoming Sin is a horrible reward for saving the world, after all. And despite the violence, Jecht dies peacefully, accepting his death and fading away before their eyes. We only get Jecht’s story from Titus’s perspective, but it’s easily one of the most tragic stories in all of Final Fantasy.
In the japanese version she just says "ano" which if you've watched subbed anime before, this is equivalent to "umm." So it's really unclear what she was going to do. But her tone of voice in the jp version makes me think she wanted to express her feelings to Jecht before he was gone.
Here's the thing, why didn't Auron help Braska defeat Jecht when Yu Yevon possessed him? Auron was still alive when Braska confronted Sin. He didn't die until after the Calm began.
first of ALL, how did jecht went to spira ? was he "created" by the faith like tidus ? Why did Auron went to zanarkan to bring tidus back in spira if the faith just created him ? this part is so confusing for me.
Because Jecht still has control prior to becoming the new Sin, he insisted Auron to bring Tidus to Spira by entering Dream Zanarkand in hopes of ending the cycle for good.
you know the fight is great and really good as a final fight. but what if hear me out you had to use a aeon to finish him. then they get possessed mid fight and fight them and continued on like that but once you go though all of your aeons yu yeven repossess jecht strengthening him from the other aeons and he can use there abilitys and skills. would be a hell long of a fight but honestly long fights in ff are not uncommon.
My favorite story of all Final Fantasy's was actually the one from FFVII Crisis Core. It's incredibly underrated but was SO well done imo. Don't know how many times it made me cry. FFX and FFVII come right after it for me.
Jecht: "I'm sorry."
Tidus: "That's enough! Let's finish this, okay?"
This part got me. He spent most of his life hating his father, now he finally meets him, and realized he wasn't such a bad guy. He stopped his father's sentimental talk, because he was afraid he would lose his will to do what needed to be done. To destroy his father before Sin claimed him completely. One of the most emotionally charged scenes in the game.
not to loose his will, he has no choice and knows it. He would just cry and didn't want to XD
The way Jecht says "You've really grown" is done perfectly. He wants to say something nice, compliment his son, but he's no good at that kind of stuff. All he can say is that Tidus has really grown, but the way he says it gives it weight, like behind those 3 simple words he's also saying he's happy to see the man Tidus has become
such a feeling of weariness and sorrow in the music with the voices, it's amazing stuff

Leonardo Farias depends, at the beginning yes, then slowly edges towards annoying then bounces back to good when he gets his stuff together.
Totally agree, at least tidus goes out of his way for his team.
“Tidus, there’s something that you should know about your father.”
“What’s that?”
“He’s a metalhead.”

God FFX was such a great game. I got this game now but I can’t help and admire these scenes. Such strong stuff. Imagine if Squall and Laguna had a scene like this...
@Kurt2012007 I didn't know until I spoke to Kiros saying something like you look like your mother. It really makes sense as Laguna and Raine were together like 16 yrs ago and Squall is around same age.
@Kurt2012007 well if you talked to laguna before you went to fight ultimecia he tells squall that he has something to tell him afterwards so I'm assuming he told squall after he returned
do you like FF12/FF13/FF9?
I know this comment is like 5 years old and it's not exactly the same as here but if you've never seen it look up "Enjoy the Now Squall and Laguna" from Dissidia and it's fan service of the highest caliber
Honestly my most saddest scene in all of FF is when Tidus meets his dad (Jecht), the dialogue, the emotion it’s so so sad, so gut-wrenching. When Tidus says ‘I hate you’. You can feel the pain and anguish in Jechts voice, the regret, and the anger and sadness in Tidus and also how much he actually loves his dad, that’s just his way of saying ‘I love you’. Because he chases after him immediately to catch him when he falls. He’s been dying to see him the whole game, and actually only gets a few tragic minutes with him. It’s the biggest tragedy in all of FF for me makes me cry this father-son relationship 😢.
The music too in that scene too 😢.
Tidus had so much character development from hating his dad to forgiving him and loving him, and from a young kid to becoming a man and taking the reigns. I mean it was his idea to kill Yunalesca and Sin.
Other scenes that come to mind is Jecht and Braskas goodbye to Auron with Aurons plea to stop, Aurons sending and of course the ending scene 😢
Tidus voice actor does his very best to ruin this scene and several others in the game.
I like the fact that there's an understanding between Tidus and Jecht.
"You'll cry. You're gonna cry.
You always cry. See? You're cryin'."
That part always cracks me up. This was a great scene. :3
The real joke is that he's talking to the audience, because everyone cries at what comes next.
6:37
That's perfect timing
Omg Tidus moved so fast when jecht just up his hand after falling
Ye he had auto-haste 100%
"hit me with all you got, Dad!"
me: HEY, hold up...
This scene right here is what defines Final Fantasy in my opinion. To this day I maintain of all the modern FF games (PS1 forward), this one is the best in terms of story and character development. I know that's going to piss off a lot of FFVII fans, but this game had so much heart.
I played through as they released in the day, and themes and story and the general world of this are the most "real/raw" of all them. Religion, cycles of history, pursing the only option available as it the least worst option or throw all chips on table. A death march. I love them all VII-X, but this was the best and now I think more so as an adult.
I prefer 8 but 10 is 2nd but 1 in story
7 has much richer world-building with their story than 10, but 10s story is better.
My favorite was VI out of all of them but X is definitely up there. Tactics(ps1) had a very good story too though but I can't decide whether or not it beats X. The stories for both can't really be compared too much because they're too different. The only thing close between the two I can think of is the end. I loved VII but I'm not afraid to admit that it is kinda overrated.
@@callmeshaggy5166 Well there isn't much to build in a world with Sin.
This encounter is so tense. "I hate you."
I agree; I think after all that Tidus had been through and learned, he realized how good of a person his father was and felt sad about having to kill him. Poor Jecht.
That "i hate you" looks like a ytp
ihateyou
Difference between this version and the original Japanese is that Tidus calls his dad baka, instead of saying I hate you, right off the bat. And Auron says sorry to Jecht instead of "I know", for being late.
I like how people who never played FF10 bring up that one scene as bad voice acting when the voice acting is actually pretty solid.
Especially when it was intentional!! They break down into actual laughter afterward. It blows my mind that so many people fail to comprehend that scene, lol
This was the ULTIMATE DADDY-ISSUE BATTLE MUSIC EVER!!!! Super Kami Guru approves.
Lol. Gotta love his resolve to still crack a dad joke there of all places.
Just imagine if he kept it going.
"Well I am sin you know!"
"Dad, I'm serious."
"Hey there, serious. I'm dad!.... And Sin."
"I hate you."
"I know."
Jecht is really Tidus's dad, this is so sad!! (Tearing)
I loved the beginning song gets you goosebumps
Kids these days sadly won't experience the joy and excitement 90's kids had when games had heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears poured into a project. When Jecht re-emerged as the beast and the intro song played I lost my shit and had so much adrenaline for this battle. Coming off of ff 7, 8 and 9, 10 blew me out of the water. When I first saw the intro I knew I was in for a wild ride.
After all these years this game still gets me hype. When the Otherworld started playing I got hype.
Tidus hates his dad as much as he DOESN'T want, to hate his dad. Like their is a miscarried relationship between them. So Tidus has a kind of unjustified love or connrection to his father AND an equally as justified loathing of him. Whatever way you slice it, hes heartbroken. Jecht became a better man in soul when he became sin. .The world had to end for him to realise the love for his son. Tragic af. So this is the first truly authentic moment between them. Oof.
This boss fight have the most surprising genre of choice for the soundtrack
Remember in the beginning in a flashback scene when tidus mom says “if he (jecht) dies you’ll never be able to tell him how much you hate him.”
Makes this scene here make even more sense. This game is deep
He knows
I just realized Jecht's tattoo is clipping through the belt for his armor at 9:22
Jecht had a bit of brilliance there that you don't get until later.
Normally when an Aeon is defeated everything about it vanishes.
But his sword remained despite him shifting back down.
So knowing that the current body was about to be defeated Yu-Yevon fled to await the Final Aeon that it would take over once the old host is destroyed. But likely it couldn't break the link fully until the old one was gone but since Jecht left that part behind, it anchored Yu-Yevon to it, long enough that Yuna could unsummon any she might have had out during the battle.
So faced with the fact that there was no other host, just the remaining power of the old body, Yu-Yevon is forced to absorb what it can to begin making its new form and leaving it open until then.
The whole sin and jecht summoning can definitely fit in a FFXIV raid system story with tiers. Like omega.
The fact that Jecht still has enough of himdelf in him and Tidus gets to talk to his father one last time makes the scene that much more emotional.
They've done a great job at this Conversation between father and son.
rofl the music is so epic and the leadup to the fight...to have it end in 1 hit
Auron and Jecht are 2 of the best FF characters ever XD
Jecht is my favorite character in FFX. His design is striking, his sword is stupid and badass simultaneously, and his story is one of my favorites. Tidus was a small kid and a bit of a cry baby, and positive encouragement was only going so far, so Jecht became this mountain for Tidus to overcome, as a professional blitzball player he knew that competitive rivalry motivates both parties to be better then ever. It was all reverse psychology. When he leaves Zanarkand for the real world, we see the man behind the antagonistic facade, he is confused, he is homesick, he misses his family, and finds happiness in the new friends he made and the fun adventures they are having.
Still my 2nd fav FF game of all time with FF7 at #1 but there are moments I put this one ahead of FFVII..and top 10 of RPGS I’ve played in my lifetime so far … this scene is still gives me chills but can play it over and over again
I actually understand what Tidus is going through here. I used to think the old guy I lived with (not related to me, but raised me) was just a quiet heartless man who didn't really care about us kids. Later I learned about scars from Vietnam that he never really got over. And he had to deal with my mooch of a grandmother. He could've tried to open up more. I suppose he did his best though, in the way he knew how. That love-hate relationship I had with him endures to this day. It's complicated. He was 63 when I left. in 2010. Haven't seen the man since.
Still a more functional relationship then I have with my dad
I'm crying too
Jecht haves the best battle music tbh
Shiiiiiit, this music brings me right back.... I think I should try out this HD remaster I've seen on steam, this game was amazing back in the day!
When his true version emerges:
Me: 😱😱😱😱
Great fight song but it was definitely a wtf moment when it kicked in. “Is this still final fantasy?”
I cried after the battle...
Interestingly, he was gonna be disguised as Jecht. Sadly the developers didn’t want to give him a bigger role.
While this helps focus Tidus’s story more, I feel that it wasted Jecht’s potential since he’s a pretty interesting character.
Jecht from final fantasy was voiced by the same voice actor who played the gromble from aaahh real monsters.
my personal fave is ff8 but i will happily sit here and say that this is THE most memorable moment in all ff
4:47 start game
The ending when Tidus defeats Sin, he cries while holding his father while saying “I hate you” but you can hear it in his voice he truly wanted to say “I love you dad” before his sending. This scene makes me cry every time.
waiting for the story of Aaron, Jecht, and Yuna's father in FF10-3.
Jecht and grimlock have the same voice actor, bonus fact they're also the legacy voice of odie from Garfield
"I'm Sorry"
#LikeFatherLikeSon
Lots of folks say they don't understand why the voice acting is hated - I don't understand the people who say THAT! I feel like several key moments are almost ruined by awkward acting...at least if you're playing with a friend, 'cause then you really notice awkwardness. I'm just speculating, but I can't help but think it's not the actors' faults. Who knows if they were fed the story details and blocking and stuff in a structured or chronological way? Lots of lines feel like they were recorded completely in a vacuum or something. I don't know, but I struggle to believe voice actors like these ones are actually just that bad. Plus several of their lines are damn amazing.
Also, the laughing scene will not be your strawman, I think the bad laughter is awesome and it's super obvious that it's intentional.
Anyway. The only characters who never, ever have bad lines are Auron and Jecht, they are unstoppable badasses
They both had issues in theyre relationship and jecht could have done better as a father but it never changed the fact that they will always love eachother
Favorite scene of all-time favorite game (to play; in terms of story I hold VII a little higher). This game's story is so amazing and so beautifully told that I don't even mind how absolute shit I am against Braska's Final Aeon.
Ff6 is the best
Auron is the most important factor in the story. Sin/Jecth and Tidus are immortals as they exist outside reality and Jecth can pull him out of it but without Auron, he might not be able to control Sin to travel in the dream Zanarkand that's why he teased Auron being late because this is their gambit in ending the cycle. Only Tidus can help Jecth to gain more control to Sin so they can lure the Yu yevon out. Without Auron, they have to wait again until Jecth can gain some control of his own as sin and Spira would be atleast 50% destroyed by then.
I had no idea having Tidus talk did that!
I just 9999'd the shit outta him with Yuna, Auron, and Lulu
Double Cast, baby, Double Cast.
After Jechts comment at 1:33 Rikku looks over like "You're right. He IS a dick." Lol
They needed an FMV for this scene and Auron's last words. 😢
The music is fucking badass
Just here watching this on Father’s Day. Some of us lost a father and some of us never met our father. Either way thank God you’re alive and well.
What's up with Tidus' fingers at 4:03
Tidus is Gohan
Jecht is Goku
Auron is Piccolo
I don't know how many times I saw this god damn scene. After the first game over in the boss fight, you should be able to skip this cutscene
Man in my very first run of this game, I didn't train enought and that btch Seymmour killed me like 100 times at gagazet (I was really young). Had to watch the stupid cutscene everytime XD I was so mad repeating the script
What continues to bother me to this day is - I can't figure out what the hell Yu Yevon is. If I were to go off the storyline, Yu Yevon was a human summoner but hell if what we fight at the end looks, or even acts human to me. I mean... he comes across as what the game portrays him as, a parasite, one that infects and possesses Aeons. Wasn't he said to have been Lady Yunalesca's father or... something?
He was the High Summoner of Zanarkand during the war againts Bevelle. During the war they were outmatched and Bevelle was determined to destroy them. So he asked the surviving people of Zanarkand to help him summon a great power and they would become his "shield". He's a parasite of some sort since it's like a final command thinking that they are still at war since the summons are shells of souls he would always merge with them since he has more power over the collected souls.
Yu Yevon created Sin and ascended to what he is now to win the war against Zanarkand...the problem is, the war never ended. All this time later, Sin still exists to inflict sorrow and misery on Spira. Ironically, Bevelle turns to religion as a way to "escape" this fate, worshipping the very being who damned Spira to a cycle of death.
Son of Jecht meets Jecht
7:13 vs 7:18
Being hit by a reglamentary ball is more damaging than being sliced by a gigantic sword. JRPG at its finest.
Jechts armour is much cooler than his baby son
Jecht: I'm the best!
Kimmo Laine YOURE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE!
YOU CANT DO IT KID!
Jecht : You re late Auron.
Auron: I know .
With that words reunited this good friends . That to they want this two was defeat Sin and reunited with the other friend Brasha.
From Tidus was hard too. All this years hate his father and he realised who loved him and must kill him to free him to become Sin.
What's the music in this
Voice acting in this game is great, some line delivery doesn’t sound natural because 1. English lines had to match up to existing Japanese lip sync (like where Tidus says “That’s enough!”) and 2. Apparently there was a glitch where if the English voice clip ran longer than the Japanese voice clip, it would crash the game or something, so the localization team HAD to make the English line equal length or shorter (like when Tidus says “Hi” it sounds rushed and cut off). The restrictions definitely make a few lines in the game sound weird, but the rest sounds great.
How did you get that so over power on damage ?
For Tidus?
He’s using the Caladbolg, which has Break Limit Damage on it. So it let’s you hit harder than the 9,999 cap
Yuna: “Sir Jecht. I should...”
Jecht: “No, Yuna, there’s no time”
what exactly is yuna thinking she should do?? send jecht??
iBorder pretty much:/
I always assumed she wanted to thank him for protecting her father during his pilgrimage and wanted to apologize for how things turned out. Becoming Sin is a horrible reward for saving the world, after all. And despite the violence, Jecht dies peacefully, accepting his death and fading away before their eyes. We only get Jecht’s story from Titus’s perspective, but it’s easily one of the most tragic stories in all of Final Fantasy.
In the japanese version she just says "ano" which if you've watched subbed anime before, this is equivalent to "umm." So it's really unclear what she was going to do. But her tone of voice in the jp version makes me think she wanted to express her feelings to Jecht before he was gone.
well.. tidus made his promise
I think because it was logic I made it out live... then there is life... =)
My whole team had ultima
i cri everi tiem
Best game ever
god damn it im gonna cry....im...im going ghost!
The face of jecht and Vincent valentine are similar and the same
Jecht loves you no homo
Here's the thing, why didn't Auron help Braska defeat Jecht when Yu Yevon possessed him? Auron was still alive when Braska confronted Sin. He didn't die until after the Calm began.
Braska was dead. The final summoning killed him. And there's no way Auron, even in his prime, could take on Aeon Jecht alone.
first of ALL, how did jecht went to spira ? was he "created" by the faith like tidus ? Why did Auron went to zanarkan to bring tidus back in spira if the faith just created him ? this part is so confusing for me.
@@pezosdrare3291 he washed up on the shores of spira
Because Jecht still has control prior to becoming the new Sin, he insisted Auron to bring Tidus to Spira by entering Dream Zanarkand in hopes of ending the cycle for good.
2:29 nice armor you got there
Still so disappointed that they didn't make a high poly model for Jecht. It ruins the scene just a little bit.
Yep!
you know the fight is great and really good as a final fight. but what if hear me out you had to use a aeon to finish him. then they get possessed mid fight and fight them and continued on like that but once you go though all of your aeons yu yeven repossess jecht strengthening him from the other aeons and he can use there abilitys and skills. would be a hell long of a fight but honestly long fights in ff are not uncommon.
6, 7 , 10 had good stories. (haven't played 8 tho so idk.)
iRO 2016 8’s story is good. A lot of people don’t like the junction system for that game but in 1999, that ending was epic.
Bro you need play it and ff 9
8 and 9 are good.
My favorite story of all Final Fantasy's was actually the one from FFVII Crisis Core. It's incredibly underrated but was SO well done imo. Don't know how many times it made me cry. FFX and FFVII come right after it for me.
