- Chocobo powered vessels!!! My heart is bursting with joy from all the things I recognize. While some things feel familiar... the combat and structure of the game seem a bit foreign to me so expect a lot of things to catch on slowly for me. The story has felt like a whirlwind so far with how fast things have gone since landing in the future, but one things for certain... nothing will keep us from Yuna's side now that we've met her!

Her not knowing random battles are a thing made me feel ancient...
She never played a random battle final fantasy before since she played remake that doesnt have random
@@thend4427 yeah, that's their point
Pokémon though
Yeah.
In my day, enemies encountered you.
58:51 "Stay away from the summoner!!!!" is a line that has stuck in my head for like 18 years now 😂
you are a bad man.
"You're a bad man!" Lmao
Same here 😂
Hi Kasta. I don't know if you've been told or if it's in this video yet, but you don't need to 'assign' your weapon or armour during battle. It's just there in case you want to change it once you have multiple pieces or armour or weapons later in the game. Whatever you set as your weapon or armour out of battle will still be set during battle.
it's actually godlike that the game allows you to change weapons mid battle! there's just no reason to do it yet
Exactly, like... in any RPG.
@@ManiacTobi there's no need for that
up
@@ManiacTobi not every rpg allows you to do so. ff 7 for example you cant. i think you also cant in the first ff either. i also think you cant in ff9, but its been more than a decade since i last played it, so cant confirm it.
One thing Final Fantasy never fails with, the music. Every game has memorable tunes.
I find this Final Fantasy in particular leans hard into mood music, not so much catchy tunes.
Makes Spira feel so unique amongst Final Fantasy worlds.
Big dose of melancholy as you journey through the ruins of a fallen civilization.
It's kind of weird to think that I've had FF music as a soundtrack to so much of my life.
Square Enix must spend 50% of their budget on music.
Yeah Squaresoft had arguably the best music in gaming, especially once PS1 came out and they got ahold of the CD audio.
13's sequels' music sucked... which is kind of memorable as being that bad. The rest were really good. It as almost guaranteed gold if Nobuo Uematsu composed it.
Your confusion about the random battle system is too funny😂
😂😂
Watching Maggie discover random encounters for the first time and slowly but surely get addicted to the sphere grid is joyful!
Just one tip after watching last episode and start of this one. The Armor, Weapon menu in combat lets you switch armor and weapons if you have multiple and for some reason you want to switch them out mid combat. The main armor and weapons you've equipped in the main menu are always equipped and you do not need to select them from the battle menu. Basically unless you have some very specific strategies and set ups there is pretty much no reason ever to use the combat menu options for armor and weapons. It is just straight up a waste of a turn.
Thank you for saying this
Thank you for saying this. My inner backseat gamer was quietly screaming in despair every time she did this.
People have already mentioned it. I don’t know if her mods read or accept guidance on things like this.
I would like to think she avoids comment sections because some people can’t help but spoil or backseat game 😅
@@LC-sc3en and that's why I don't go to live streams
@@LC-sc3en I get that, I do hate back seating where commenters tell the player about the best combat strategies or explain story elements they didn't catch on to right away. But I do think there is a difference between that kind of back seating, where people explain to the streamer or Lp'er the best strats versus just clarifying basic game mechanics. That's why I think my comment was not crossing any lines! of course if her mod's disagree with that and do not want to pass this on I can respect that.
Just astounding how cinematic and good looking this game is. 23 Years old!
Beautiful game.
You are my FFX streamer for the foreseeable future. Love your play through so far.
Agreed, since the ff7R videos. Can’t wait to see how this series turns out
This isn't a stream, it's a recording.
@@blackguardharper7005 I didn’t say this was a stream smarta$$ lol, I called her a streamer. Is she not a streamer? should I have said “you are my FFX recorder”? I’m confused what your trying to accomplish here with this comment. I’m not dumb I know it’s a recording lmao. Get a life lol.
Watching someone experience this game for the first time is the closest I’ll get to experiencing it for the first time again. This is really fun, and I can’t WAIT for you to get further in, because this game is probably the best FF I’ve ever played.
You don’t need to equip weapons and armor in battle unless you intend to change them, just fyi.
STAY AWAY FROM THE SUMMONER
"You're a bad man!" - Love the voice acting in this game!
best npc ever
The random equipping of shields and armor mid battle is sending me haha
I never ever did that lol
@@TheRealAhoy yeah its pointless
@@iaamara8434Well I could see a world where you want to equip a weapon with a specific element against a specific enemy on the fly, but I never used that either
IT'S WHAT?!
@@Muscu666 I mean, yeah it is useful later in the game. But early on, it has almost 0 uses
Crazy that Wakka's voice actor is the same guy that does Heidegger in FF7R.
I.... didnt know that and you are correct, thats crazy.
Can't forget jake from adventure time and bender.
Same as Bender from Futurama too. And he does Kimari I think.
he was also Migelo in FF12
he also voices kimahri
KASTA! I love seeing you discover this game and you have NO IDEA how happy it makes me when you hear a recognizable FF tune and start humming along.
In your first video, you mentioned the victory fanfare, and yes, it's been used since the original FF released in 1987. You'd also recognized FFX's arrangement of the Final Fantasy "Prelude". As for the history of chocobos...you'll just have to play more FFs to learn about their origins yourself!
The OG music will forever be my favorite.
Something to note about Cheer is that it stacks up to 5 times. So you can use it up to 5 times in a battle.
I'm glad you are having fun with this. The older Final Fantasy style of combat was turn based with random encounters. It has its own type of charm.
Your reaction to seeing chocobos again made me smile!
Don’t forget to change out your characters in each fight. Even if you just press triangle and have them defend for a turn. Characters who don’t “participate” in battle don’t get AP. They have to do something, not just stand there as well, so pressing triangle and having them defend is “participating”.
Never liked this method. Much prefer to finish the fights quickly and grind with seperate teams.
@@ryanpauloneeyed9669 problem is you kinda get underleveled by doing this. I noticed many problems have trouble on a few boss battles later on.
@@armorvil You just need to take a bit of time grinding here and there. It's the same as the long-shift technique (getting everyone involved) time wise, just instead of taking time to shift everyone in, you train with 2 dedicated teams. This makes for shorter fights, but you need to get into more fights to train the other team up too. It's just preference really. My teams are usually over-leveled until I get to the late-game content of course. Honestly, you could power through most of the games boss encounters with summons.....
Oh yeah, this will be your first experience of FF random encounters. One thing you can guarantee is that they will always come when you don't want them.
You'll never see it comiiiiiiiiiing!
x isnt even the worst offenders. it would be far worse with the original ff3(not snes 3, but nes japan 3), OR most dragon quest games. ironically enough, i think that, after she has played ff9, she should play parasite eve instead of another ff. since its technically the original pitch for ff7, and its a completely diferent experience, that i think she would enjoy, besides being very short.
either that, or chrono trigger.
Easily one of my favorite games of all time! It's awesome you're getting to experience it for the first time - and everyone here along for the ride! I hope you enjoy every second of it. :)
Final Fantasy X is my favorite final fantasy! I wish I could play it for the very first time again, I’m so excited for you! You’re going to love it 🩵
I love that you've played 3 FFs now and that you're only just discovering the true random battle encounter mechanics that were a staple of the franchise for so long 😁 "It must be a time thing!?" 😄
I found your channel while you were doing the other FF playthroughs and I loved them. Looking forward to watching the rest of this one 🎉
Tip about the Sphere Grid, Kas! Since you're playing the international version, your Sphere Grid is different than the one most of us played originally - your version gives you WAY more freedom in how you build your characters, but assumes you're already familiar with all the abilities and which ones should go to which characters. The original version was way more linear and you didn't have to make tough choices about routes until at least mid-game.
So far, you've sent all your characters down the "correct" paths, but here's some quick tips about the "intended" way to do it:
Tidus is all about speed and buffing the party with things like Cheer and Haste. So far, you're on this route.
Wakka uses status ailment attacks, like Dark Attack, and has good HP and speed. On the "correct" track.
Yuna is your white mage, healing and reviving. On track.
Lulu is the black mage (of course), so just look for spell names and head in that direction. She's also secretly the Best Girl 🖤
Kimarhi is a wild card, you can send him down any character's route, and you can learn enemy skills with his Lancet ability.
Hope that helps you a little! ... even tho you're already way ahead probably!
Most played the "international version" with this sphere grid. North America was the only region to get the simplified sphere grid.
@@Deadonothat isn't true, the original JP version also only had the standard grid and international has both the standard and the expert/international grids. In the first episode at the beginning when she had a prompt in Japanese it was for the grid selection she wanted to use and she chose the expert grid. She could have just as easily selected the standard grid.
@@Deadono that's just not correct. All regions had the original SG on release, and then when the international version came out in 2002 you had the option to choose this grid. Besides, I've never seen anyone choose the expert grid on their first run ... that choice at the beginning of the game is KINDA IMPORTANT, wish someone woulda told her about it! looking at you, Kasta's Team! 😂
@@Deadono international is like the final fantasy version of final mix from kingdom hearts. it was the "definitive version" but not the original version. also the international version was basically japan/asia only, until the remaster.
so you are probably confusing those versions up.
as a side note, its not advised for beginners to use the international grid. which is why i think she should've played the remasters on pc(if possible), as it also gives the speed up for grinding which is a god send if she got skill blocked at some point and decided to grind.
@@marcosdheleno Nah he's not confusing anything. It's just that the original PAL version was always the international version from the start because games used to release later than the JP and NA releases in PAL regions. So by the time we got FFX the international version was already out so that was all we ever got and had the expert sphere grid and additional superbosses from the start. The first release never released in PAL regions is all he's saying.
Hearing “to zanarkand” is so nostalgic for me. I haven’t heard that beautiful music in a while. Thanks for playing FFX! I’ll be paying attention to your progress with great interest. 😅
No critical hit in the history of games was ever as satisfying as Wakka's blitzball crit
Auron's is right there too
Makes me sad that I can never play this game for the first time again/: but I get to live that experience vicariously through you :D thanks for playing
1:42:08 “it just happened to be a detour to looking at yuna” im dying 😂😂
I love your reactions to everything. FFX is my all time favorite game and I'm glad that so many people enjoy playing it! Great stuff, have fun 🙂
You’ll probably figure it out eventually but if you’re ever confused on what an Ability or Item does you can look at the top of the screen. There’s a handy Help bar that shows up in battle and in the main menu that will explain what everything does. Also you won’t need to equip weapons and armor every time you enter battle. They’re always equipped. Very much enjoying the play through. I haven’t revisited the game properly since I was a kid!
Hey! Nice to see you here. Love your content as much as Kasta’s!
@@andreseh87 thanks! It’s awesome to see so many FF fans checking out Kasta’s playthroughs.
The Nostalgia though. I was 13 years old when I played this game. This takes me way back. God I'm so old lol. And yes, there are random battles to farm s. levels to make your characters a little stronger and interactions much easier for you. Great video!
You can unlock a node on the sphere grid that you're next to (not specifically on), you moved away from an ability that you could have learned with Yuna at 1:35:33. Also, characters only get ap (exp) in battle if you use a move with them, so don't forget to rotate your team and utilise each character as you play through the game. :)
The besaid music is among my most nostalgic songs of my youth. Reminds me of happy, simple times. Summer break in the 7th and 8th grade 2002-2003.
57:15 Laughed out loud. The face of disappointment XD
"I'm smushing Lulu and Yuna together..." Yeah, you and like 1,000 artists on the internet...
By the way, the soundtrack for FFX had a lot of the same talent as in FF7 Rebirth (Hamauzu was heavily involved in a lot of X's tracks), as this was the first game that wasn't solely composed by Uematsu. Loving your appreciation for FF music. May it own your soul as it does many of us. :P
Almost every ost in FFX are beautiful and precious ❤
Ahahaha her reaction to Lulus dress and Tidus “detouring” to tuna 😂😂😂
1:25 this track is called besaid island
When I think of nostalgic video game music this one hits the deepest core of my soul 😭
Same, I remember the first time I heard it the joy I felt
Your discovery of random battles was just the entertainment I needed today.
Another great video Maggie and glad you’re enjoying playing an old style turn based game on the PS2👍. Enjoying the play through so far, can’t wait for the next one👍.
Glad to see someone playing the game for the first time trying to be thourough and do all sidequests etc. But as you've already experienced with the first Temple trial where you didn't get the treasure before being immediately shoved into the next cutscene and not being allowed to go back. That's just nearly impossible if you're going in blind. There's a lot of significant stuff to easily miss in older games like this. Al Bhed Lexica can be easily missed as well as the treasure in these Temples which is actually really important. It's not just about the immediate treasure you get in the temple, but getting all of the treasures in every temple unlocks a very significant thing later on. It's not a dealbreaker that completely ruins the game or anything and in fact most first time streamers miss it all the time. But it's also tied to some character backstory which makes it hurt even more if you miss it. Especially because you're playing the international version which makes it really difficult to go back to some of these temples later on is all I'm saying. Not impossible but involves a lot of grinding.
If you really want to get those I'd recommend at least following some spoiler free guide for the Temple Trials alone. It sucks but that's just how it is with older games like this. No quest markers or anything pointing you towards some very significant missable secrets. Oh and maybe where to find some items important for each character's Ultimate weapons. Sometimes equally difficult to get back to in the international version if you miss them the first time you're in that specific area during the story (especially when you're just mentally done after one of the most difficult battles in the main story).
Regardless I hope you're ready for some excessive grinding if you really want to show the additional content of the international version :)
These episodes can't come fast enough! I'm already loving this playthrough!
Welcome to random encounters, the staple of every JRPG from that era lol
Still can’t believe you are playing this GOATED game! This is my 2nd favorite Square Enix game on PS2. #1 will always be Dragon Quest 8 which I highly recommend!!!
Hey, hey, hey... remember when random battles were normal and not a confusing, strange thing to encounter in a game.
I member.
1:54:28 if I were approached with that line, I wouldn't be able to hold my laughter. In a good way ofc.
you've probably been told but you're in for a hell of a ride and a treat
You don’t need to assign you armor or weapons every time, you can just do it once in the menu and it stays equipped.
i genuinely dont understand how she misunderstood it that badly. i thought the game explained perfectly that the option was there for emergency swaps, in case you faced an enemy that has an ability or resists an element that is in your weapon.
I would say look up the cloisters because it won’t mess up story and you need all the treasures for later
" I should have attacked the one that had 15hp so I can limit their attacks". _ Yes! and just like that, you got the whole point of the turn order sidebar. For tactics. It's an old system and you're new to this, but you got this in a short amount of time. Good job as usual ;)
Ahhh, good ol' turn-based random battles I feel asleep to Besaid theme in high school when it was released
This game was absolute peak. I didn't know much about the Japanese as a kid, but I started to associate them with the absolute best games in my collection. 😂
This game feels nostalgic, even though I beat it last year for the first time. But the characters are with me since my teens. Such a cool journey.
Whoever knew your fear of water and suggested FFX is a legend 😂
you can put yourself on guard in combat by pressing the triangle
don't know if anyone's commented on this yet, but you don't have to re-equip weapons or armor for every battle. Only if you want to change what they're already using. The small pink mark next to the equipment indicates that the character has that particular item already equipped. Also activating nodes in the sphere grid doesn't use up sphere levels, only movement does. nodes are activated by specific spheres and you use 1 for every one activated.
The slow realization of random battles 😂. Watching you slowly learn mechanics, the grid system, and make some mistakes really makes me giggle. This is easily my favorite game, FF7 original being a close second.
when I say “what’s our goal?” you say, “fill all 99 save slots!” lol
Now that we've established Maggie enjoys turn based combat I really hope she adds Persona 3, 4 & 5 to her backlog as well as the rest of the Final Fantasy series. I'm sure she'd love the story and characters in those games as well!
I cannot believe this game is 23 years old. 9/11 was less than 2 months away when this released.
If I remember correctly, you need to lend o'aka 1101 gill for future discounts. Something like that. You'll have a few more opportunities to lend him gill.
Welcome to the 'Random Encounter Battle System' 😂
Just found your channel recently. Absolutely loving the FF content. Can't wait to watch you do 9-1. I hope you don't skip 7, the original 7 is amazing and definitely worth the experience.
Glad to see you playing. Looking forward to the next episode.
You're a bad man!!! Ill never forget that line lmao
chocobos are from FF3, in the nes. way back when. they have been a staple of the franchise ever since. and became the most iconic aspect of the franchise, surpassing even the buster sword and the gunblade.
Great more of FFX: International and I'm ready for pt 2
i really enjoyed the first part, as always you and Ginger
have an enjoyable Thursday thanx amazing Kasta.💓🐈:)
Dude the wasting turns equipping weapons and armor she already has equipped is hilarious but it makes may gamer brain itch 😂
Already hooked on this play-through
LMAO welcome to Random Encounters Kasta! is random hahaha
In FF7R, when we first started seeing the Weapons inside the Mako Reactors like the one that swallowed Tifa, I remember thinking they looked like small versions of Sin. Now, seeing this again, it's just reinforced. They have very similar builds to them.
I never noticed that until now lol.
Yuna is one of my most favorite characters in all of fiction. Such an amazing well written character.
This is peak nostalgia for me.
Yuna is in my top 3 FF characters, so incredibly excited for this episode. The combat system is really good, and some bosses in the second half of the game can be tough, so better experiment and slowly learn the mechanics :).
Same, I adore Yuna.
Waifu
Hello,
I love this game, ty so much for playing it with us. I NEED MOREEEEE! XD
18:49
Me too!! Even within the soundtrack, this is still one of my favourites...
So happy that I found your channel! Also, you don't have to equip armor and weapons during battle, unless you want to switch to a specific armor or weapon.
Just wanted to clarify that Valefor the Aeon summon is a girl. 💛
Love the playthrough so much. She is insanely good at understanding the context and story elements, but missing game mechanics...The way she is missing nodes on the sphere grid ugh. Also the constant equipping of armor. really trying not to backseat but man..
I think it adds to the experience having that learning curve with battle and still fully understanding the story. This game especially, we might be another 15 episodes down the line and still learning battle mechanics
Yay!!! More Final Fantasy X: International 🎉🎉 I'm super excited for this playthrough, it's going to be a blast! 💯🔥
Love the rocky horror reference lol😂
That stressed me out seeing the Al Bhed primer go unclaimed in the power room on the ship 😂
Lowkey currently the best playthrough on youtube rn lol
I've been playing this game with my boyfriend and he almost quit out of anger from all the random battles after Wakka pushes you in the water lmao
I love how much you are enjoying this game. It's in my top 5 of all time. Such a fantastic experience.
I've played the remaster so much that its changed my perspective on the original. The original Final Fantasy X. Its so beautiful. The music and the visuals...and the feeling, it's got such an amazing atmosphere.
STAY AWAY FROM THE SUMMONER!!
If you don’t already plan on playing Final Fantasy Tactics, I strongly advise it. That’s my favorite FF game.
So much nostalgia
Glad you're liking it! 10 is one of my favorites
One of my favorite soundtracks in gaming
About the people going in and out of the shops that reminds me of one of my favorite snes games of all time. Illusions of Gaia where there is a shop that you actually have to wait in line to checkout I think it’s like 1 minute and 30 seconds irl but that attention to detail 😂
Kasta discovers random encounters LOL
Welcome to the joy of random battles, Maggie 😂
Definitely a lot of cake in this one, relatively high on the cake meter. High cakability here
Oh man am I excited for this series!
To think you have to put your armor on in every single fight in an RPG with random battles every couple seconds, is just wild.
Also, you can equip armor & weapons outside of battles - like in any RPG. That would mean your characters would put them off at every start of a battle. Makes even more sense :D
Craziness. It's almost like the people who tell me I have to put on pants every day in a lifetime with thousands of days. Nobody got time for that!
@@toaster4693so there's only one battle every 24 hours? It all makes sense now!!
Kasta you're trippin on the spheregrid like real talk ahahahaha You're not even moving the cursor and then saying that you're not moving lol. But it doesn't even matter. The game JUST started. You can barely do anything on the spheregrid anyways. But my advice would be to just follow each characters path naturally. Don't EVER go back. Always forward, unless you wanna make this playthrough even more hilarious to me.
good to see you back on your ff grind. btw cheer raises your strenght
Quick tip, don't worry it's not a spoiler, but when you get back on the boat again, there will be a scene when you kick the Blitz ball. You will be bombarded with memories, move the stick in the direction of the text to eliminate the distraction, pull the shot off you'll unlock it. It'll make life SO MUCH easier for you in the tournament.
Please research the sphere grid. You had me shouting at my TV 🤣
