This remains my favorite game of all time, spanning dozens of playthroughs and I used to play this alongside my aunt when I was young. It felt magical, so unlike anything else I had ever seen. Those cherished memories keep this unmatched as my favorite game. Thanks for taking the time to love on this.
It's Not Tidus Story And Tidus Is Not The Protagonist Nor The Main Character The Reason Why Tidus Has Weights In The Story Is Not Because Of Auron It's Not Because Of Jecth But It's Because Of Yuna Yuna Fell In Love With Tidus That's The Biggest Reason Yuna Is The Protagonist Yuna Is The Main Character Everything Is About Yuna Even The Sequel ( X-2 ) I Dare Anyone Prove Me Wrong
A little nice thing about the story, is that Tidus is telling the story through narration all the way up until you reach the campfire scene outside of Zanarkand which is the intro scene
Man i tried so hard to get into X even it came out. A busy freshmen college year didn't help it. But never could get a real feel for it. I did like it, it has an excitement to it. I need to try to replay it.
Not a bad video but ya should have done more research on the story. Tidus doesn’t die in the beginning of the game. He is not dead. Also, Tidus is not from the past. There is no actual time travel in this game, and your misinterpretation of the events would at least require Auron traveling through time. Tidus was born a dream in dream Zanarkand. Originally the fayth dreamed up the original citizens of Zanarkand, but they lived their lives, had children, and generation after generation of Zanarkand citizenry were dreamed by the fayth. Tidus is the product of this process. This is covered in Ultimania. You say “in Tidus’s time …” but Tidus is not from the past. His time is contemporaneous with Yuna’s time. Jetch-Sin just brought Tidus from Dream Zanarkand to Spira. Jetch certainly didn’t kill Tidus, his own son.
@@thechance-lore4711 no worries. FFX’s story is a bit confusing. The game never fully spells out what happened with Tidus in the beginning. I didn’t get a full grasp of what was going on until I decided to dive into the wiki and a bunch of Reddit threads.
There’s no time line, this is all happening at the same time. Zanarkand that Tidus is from is being summoned and is located near the temple of baaj. The one thousand years part is just because the destruction of the real zanarkand happened back then.
I find it very challenging to go back to very traditional JRPG turned based, weakness exploitation systems. Its critical to the history of FF, but it doesn't seem to scratch my itch any more (they used to tho). I would do a final fantasy 13 battle system instead of a 16 battle system. For that reason i could never see me going to play this game. But damn, if FF isnt always well presented and carry a certain energy that makes me feel something beautiful.
That’s fair! I do think something like the FF13 system is more engaging for sure. And yeah each FF game have a great amount of substance that makes them interesting and satisfying to play through
Really hope SE revisits this world one day, or give it the FF7 treatment with a full remake. FFX isn’t my favorite in the series, but the atmosphere and vibes are incredible.
Can’t wait to play this again for the 5th time. It’s been so long but I still feel the same way as the first time with the opening cinematic. I literally 💩 my pants when I first saw it. After that moment I couldn’t stop putting it down
This game has a special place in my heart, it was the first final fantasy that i played and until today is still my favourite. I heard about a remake about ff9 and ff10 and a new game ffX-3, i hope tey do a good job.
I'm replaying this now after about 14 years. It holds up for me, even without the QoL stuff available for 1-9, though I wish there was a feature to toggle off encounters. Story wise is up there with 6. 10 has a well thought out plot, characters and some decent gameplay. I hate to say it because I know they don't have to do turn base to make a great game, but at the same time Square seems to have a lot of trouble making games as iconic as they used to. Anyway... thanks for the content!
Totally agree with the quality of life improvements and the story aspects! And honestly the turn-based opinion as well! And thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed!!
After over twenty years, I finally feel like I have a grasp on Blitzball games. I had to stall, and score one point just to beat the Luca Goers on that first game.
I love FFX but I can't play the HD remaster. What they did to Tidus's face is unforgivable. Original ps2 version on an emulator with anti aliasing and 4k resolution is the definitive way to play imo
New ffx player here, and after completing the game 100% I can honestly say I would do it again, albeit, differently. That to me is a hallmark of an excellent game.
I haven't played it. My favorite are FF9, FF7, Crisis Core Reunion, and FF8 in that order. FF8 was freaking amazing and I did every single possible thing but those first 3 have something in my heart, DEEP. WAIT ZANARKEND? however you spell it...I remember I couldn't get through it for some reason! So I played 1 hour of Final fantasy 10 as a kid then. haha
chocobo race is my favorite and it has always seen easy to me though I have fully platinumed this game and loved the grind to make my character so over powered that I hit my max damage and one shot everything besides the creatures meant to be extra content meant for end game .
So i dont think tidus dies. He and all of dream zanarkand are hidden in a small nearly impossible to find area near Baaj temple. Now much like unsent are just manifestations of themselves with strong will controlling pyreflies he is able to traverse between the two much like how Bahamute does. The reason Auron found and was able to go to Zanarkand is that he no longer has a physical body and is all pyreflies. Its different but its also super similar.
Oh no- I heard timelines, yeah- close but Tidus is not from 1000 year ago. It's like some weird pocket dimensions. His Zanarkand is accessible supposedly because jecht did get out of it by sailing in the waters.
Thanks to this video, I think I'm going to FINALLY pick this game up and give it a shot. I've never played this game at all. Not because I didn't like it. It just wasn't the RPG game for me at the time. Gonna be playing this for the very first time in 40 years. I know, it took me this long to finally get the chance to play this one. But, I do hope it'll be worth the wait.
@@umadbro4493 Yep, just started playing the game. Just taking my time to explore and grinding my characters. Cause the boss fights are brutal. I will say, it's worth every cent. The music hooked me in
I remember the first time ever playing this, I hated fighting the hard battles, not really understanding the leveling up system, well luckily I found tidus's no encounter weapon, and carried that all the way until I somehow finally got to sin, needless to say I could never bet him lol, about 10 years later I tried playing again on the ps4, now I'm way better at this game, this time around I'm going for the dark aeons, good luck to me haha
So far I've taken them all down except for the magus sisters and yojimbo with zanmato, I took down 2 of the sisters, but for some reason auto life didn't work in the 3rd fight and I lost, so I decided to find out what happens fighting sin with zanmato and surprisingly zanmato on both turns lol, easiest fight ever
It's funny that you struggled so much with the chocobo racing but thought the Kimahri butterfly challenge wasn't bad. I had the opposite experience. The chocobo racing took me a few tries for sure, but that butterfly minigame pissed me off so much that I just gave up. Lulu and Kimahri were the only ultimate weapons (crest + sigils) I didn't bother with in the end.
That’s a good point!! Yeah it’s different with everyone, and I definitely saw that a lot of people struggled with the butterfly mini game more than anything else
The thing with the butterfly section is all of the butterflies have fixed positions even if it looks like they are flying around, so if you find a map of the layout online and have no encounter on it's trivially easy to beat. I've also never had too much trouble with the chocobo section and can usually get through the entire thing in 15-30 minutes or so whenever I play through the game these days. The 200 lightning dodges though? Even knowing all of the crater tricks it is a nightmare every time and takes wayyy too long even if you do it perfectly first try. I really wish they would have toned it down to 100 dodges in the remaster.
Just watching these visuals go by is sealing the deal. I'm buying it now. Screw it. I'll play it. lmma grab the remaster tho I'm going to have like 5 final fantasy "Waifus" by the end of it. We have tifa, aerith, Jessie (remake), Cissnei, Rinoa, Garnet...damn I'm at 6 already HAHA
To be honest FFX HD remaster didn't looks that good but the game itself is great. i still got the original PS2 version but stil i bought it for PS3, PS4 and PSVita xD The only minus with FFX is CTB and Tidus weak Overdrive (limit break). I still prefer the main character does the main OP damage, like Cloud and Squall.
9999 is low damage though lol, auron and lulu are low tier characters after roughly mid game. If you’re not hitting reels for multiple 99,999s you’re not clearing any super boss.
34:48 i suggest u check the story (lyica Detic tuach'd tea eh dryd claha ra ec uhmo dnyhcbundat (ra hajan aqecdat eh dra vencd bmyla ra ec y bnutild uv dra tnays)
Anyone that says this is this is the best ff clearly likes the newer ones. They were awful after 10. Cringe also this as a game is veey very long when you do the super bosses
Another banger video keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you for watching!! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Been anticipating this one for ages. I hope this combat system comes back eventually
Thank you!! And yeah I hope so too!!
Was my favourite combat system in any FF game
It's Not Tidus Story
And Tidus Is Not The Protagonist Nor The Main Character
The Reason Why Tidus Has Weights In The Story
Is Not Because Of Auron
It's Not Because Of Jecth
But It's Because Of Yuna
Yuna Fell In Love With Tidus
That's The Biggest Reason
Yuna Is The Protagonist
Yuna Is The Main Character
Everything Is About Yuna
Even The Sequel ( X-2 )
I Dare Anyone
Prove Me Wrong
THE SHIP SECTION
without spoiling anything that was done well, ive played this game alot and didnt even catch that much. respect on your analysis
Thank you so much!!
A little nice thing about the story, is that Tidus is telling the story through narration all the way up until you reach the campfire scene outside of Zanarkand which is the intro scene
oh that's really neat!
Man i tried so hard to get into X even it came out. A busy freshmen college year didn't help it. But never could get a real feel for it. I did like it, it has an excitement to it. I need to try to replay it.
Yeah! Give it another shot!
You're right, it's often place greatest in the series and made me feel a lot of emotions, great analysis!
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed!
You got me into this series. Thank you
No thank you for watching!! Glad I got you into Final Fantasy!

Favorite ff game. Great work on the video 👍
Thank you so much!!
The women, and girls, in final fantasy are absolutely amazing and great role models that probably positively shaped the lives of many women (and men)
Amen to that!!
There’s no time line, this is all happening at the same time. Zanarkand that Tidus is from is being summoned and is located near the temple of baaj. The one thousand years part is just because the destruction of the real zanarkand happened back then.
Yeah I know! I set it up like that in the beginning of the video as not to spoil it but I explain the real situation later on

@@thechance-lore4711 But the question is, do you think FF13's ATB-Paradigm system is better, or is the FF10-2 ATB-Costume system better?
Simple Answer? Yes. Now watch the video if you need further convincing and stop scrolling the comments
That's fair lol
Arguably the best Final Fantasy game EVER made, and my personal all time favorite. MASTERPIECE.
Totally agree!!
Really hope SE revisits this world one day, or give it the FF7 treatment with a full remake. FFX isn’t my favorite in the series, but the atmosphere and vibes are incredible.
Totally agree!! A remake would be wonderful!
Bring on X-3 they already said they pretty much have a plot done for if they were to ever make it.
No thanks. All remakes are worse than the originals
Can’t wait to play this again for the 5th time. It’s been so long but I still feel the same way as the first time with the opening cinematic. I literally 💩 my pants when I first saw it. After that moment I couldn’t stop putting it down
It’s a wonder game!!
One if the best revuews for this game in an age.
Thank you so much!!
This game has a special place in my heart, it was the first final fantasy that i played and until today is still my favourite. I heard about a remake about ff9 and ff10 and a new game ffX-3, i hope tey do a good job.

The Seymour flux theme is enough for a replay alone
After over twenty years, I finally feel like I have a grasp on Blitzball games. I had to stall, and score one point just to beat the Luca Goers on that first game.
Haha there you go!
Thanks to this video I'm finally replaying this game. Never finished it when it first came out. I'm enjoying it a bit.
That's awesome!! I'm glad you're enjoying it now!
I love FFX but I can't play the HD remaster. What they did to Tidus's face is unforgivable. Original ps2 version on an emulator with anti aliasing and 4k resolution is the definitive way to play imo
That's a fair take!
That chocobo racing just to get Tidus weapon is eff me to this day.
Dude amen to that!
New ffx player here, and after completing the game 100% I can honestly say I would do it again, albeit, differently. That to me is a hallmark of an excellent game.
Amen!!
That soundtrack sheeesh. If this is top 2, what's your 1? I'm guessing it's between 8 or 9?
It’s actually non-ironically FF13!
I haven't played it. My favorite are FF9, FF7, Crisis Core Reunion, and FF8 in that order. FF8 was freaking amazing and I did every single possible thing but those first 3 have something in my heart, DEEP.
WAIT ZANARKEND? however you spell it...I remember I couldn't get through it for some reason! So I played 1 hour of Final fantasy 10 as a kid then. haha
Haha fair!! I would go back and give it a try!
Playing it now for the first time after putting it down 10 years ago. I'm 18 hours in at the thunder plains. I'm loving it but it's sooooooo loooong
That’s awesome!! It’s a great game! But yeah it is very long lol
Just bought the remaster for ps5. Going to play both Ffx and x2 remaster next week. Just finished ff9 today beating ozma and necron
It’s a great game!! Hope you like it!!
love your vids my guy!
Thank you so much!!

I want combat systems like this again 😭😭
Me too!

I'm going to have like 5 final fantasy "Waifus" by the end of it. We have tifa, aerith, Jessie (remake), Cissnei, Rinoa, Garnet...damn I'm at 6 already HAHA
Haha you can never have too many!! Let me know how you like it!!
God wish they would remake this game❤
Amen to that!!

This is all very true!!
I don't care if it's 2050 this game will always be worth playing
Agreed!
About to play it again for the 3rd time that way my wife can experience the greatness of this game
That's awesome! Hope she enjoys it too!
@thechance-lore4711 yeah minus the part where she wants me to do penance playthrough, not looking forward to all thay grinding again
X has aged better than a lot of games that came out after it I think.
Totally agree!!
The arranged version scalps the drums and percussion. Seymour fight specifically is lackluster arranged.
That’s fair!
I'll never understand "Does it hold up?" and "*insert game/movie/console/etc. name here* in insert year . It's good as you make and let it be!
Fair enough lol
not only the greatest FF game but also the greatest game of all time imo.
Totally agree!!
The fact you dont stream your playthroughs is a crime
So I’m think about doing something like that on a second channel for the next video!!
FFVII & FFX are GOAT games.
Amen!!
Any other answer bwsides Yes! is incorrect! 😂❤ it has a few flaws, but its got enough heaet and playability to last forever
Totally agree!!
r this game crash randomly, like ff13 or 13-2?
Maybe on PC but not on consoles!
My personal ranking would be FFX, FFVII and FFIX
That's a solid line up!
It'd still worth playing in the next decade
Totally agree!!
I’m trying to get over the “tee-dis”. Supposedly the voice actor mispronounced it for the trailer lol
Haha yeah it's messy
Yes it is i wish they do a remake
Amen to that!
@@thechance-lore4711there are rumors that its in the making & will be released in 2026
hopefully the rumors are true!!
The chocobo race still exists, so no, it’s not worth playing.
hahaha the chocobo race gave me nightmares lol
It is one of the easiest entrants to get into final fantasy
very true!!
YES
indeed!
Just finished this game, and I kinda feels nothing after, it's kinda boring, Lulu and Auron always 9999, I'm understand it's very old game and classic
That’s a fair take!
9999 is low damage though lol, auron and lulu are low tier characters after roughly mid game. If you’re not hitting reels for multiple 99,999s you’re not clearing any super boss.

I do!

ffx pisses me off bc why tf is there no free roam map thing, fuck the story and the characters that was the best part of any final fantasy game
That's fair!

fair enough
X yes but X-2 no because it's a shitty mess

fair enough lol not for everyone
