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.........
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 ua-cam.com/video/hdZ_Wq8_-XQ/v-deo.html
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.
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.
@@Appreciation-Community 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).
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.
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.
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.
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 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
@@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.
JAT is Tidus and even in one of his UA-cam 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.
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.
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
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 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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Holy shit, I never thought I'd see mention of yaz0r's work on a UA-cam 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!
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! 👍
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!
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.
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.
@@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~
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 :\
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
I love this game, but James Arnold Taylor *really* needed to redo some of his lines. Some of those line reads are so amateur it takes me out of it every time. I'm not talking about the laughing scene, either. That scene is great. I'm talking about when they arrive at Zanarkand upon reaching the summit of Mount Gagazet. Auron's utterly iconic scene with Wakka and Tidus on the summit (which Matt Mckenzie really shines in) is immediately followed up by the next scene starting with JAT's read of "a city dead for a thousand years." It's like you can hear a record screech to a stop. That moment is somber and well-scripted, too, but it feels like they rushed the take and it's a damn shame. Still love the game, though. :) Always will.
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.
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
The FFX FMV sequences you shared, specifically the one at around 02:00 showing Wakka ... which version is that one from? My FFX remastered doesn't look like that his hair is quite a bit more orange... Is there a difference in FMVs from version to version? Or is this a recording color discrepancy in what is shown versus what was recorded? Very curious.
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
I like how you do genuinely give facts that most people, even hardcore fans, would likely not know. Most stuff like this is clickbait like " i bet you didn't know that Tidus is actually a dream".
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.
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.
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
11:52 Tidus uses all of his swords backwards. It has nothing to do with Crisis Core. It's to show his relative inexperience with using weapons, since most of his swords have a double edge but the second edge only stretching 1/3 of the way down the sword.
I think it's a great decision that Square decided not to use celebrity actors for voice acting. FFX had many flaws as a first attempt, but in their next attempt in FFXII, it was phenomenal. Also, despite we making fun of "Tidus laugh", at least we associated that with the character so well that it is Tidus, not some random Hollywood star, that we remember today. People are already referring to Death Stranding characters by the actors' names rather than character names. Had that happened with Final Fantasy characters, it would have been catastrophic of the series.
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.
Man, I felt hecka bad. I just got married and i was cleaning out my old stuff with my wife who just moved in and we were storing and throwing away old games and discs. Ps1,2,3,4,xbox and pretty much all my old games from different gaming systems. I threw away a lot and stored a few. But I exclusively separated my Final fantasy X apart from everything else. I was keeping that one on display in my living room. It got late so I went to sleep and the next morning I noticed she threw away the old and I didn't mind....until i couldn't find my FFX! I looked in the storage, the trash and all over my room. She was sleeping and I woke her up in panic, "Were did you put my FFX game?!" She looked scared and got up to say " You left it outside by the door". I went and got it and I stared at it... Man this game meat so much to me that I almost raised my voice at my wife, I felt ashamed of myself. It hurt a lot but I just stored it away and I apologized to my wife. I never mentioned to her before how much this game meant to me. I'm a gamer at heart and I love the final fantasy franchise and I'll always love FFX but it's time to grow up and be a husband now.
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
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
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.”
Hey Vinnie, thanks for commenting! We didn't mention anything about Shinra because as you mentioned, that's within Final Fantasy X-2 and this video is about X. :)
Yes but they are both within the same world. Your mention of the buster sword (which I was unaware of) is a further argument that the two games could be connected.
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!
I enjoyed the video very much. My first ever FF was Final Fantasy Tactics on PS1, but I played it with an emulator due to PS1 being still almost as expensive as PS2 back then. But then I bought PS2 and Played FFX2 and FFXII. So FFX is still the most FF I found interesting. Especially when I played X2 first then X, the personality gaps of Yuna was very interesting stuff to experience
We hope you all enjoyed the video and found the facts insightful! There's plenty more in store for the channel between now and the end of the year, and we can't wait to share more stuff with you guys! :D ~Darryl/Lauren

Final Fantasy Union when I saw the video pop up I was like “pffft I know all of this already...whelp TIL.

The summons in this game was by far the best system in the series, they should have kept it

And then Final Fantasy 12 came along

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?
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.
You blew my mind with the Zegen theme song and victory pose fact, like you literally gave me chills because I never thought of it and noticed it
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.
Holy shit, I never thought I'd see mention of yaz0r's work on a UA-cam 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!
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
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! 👍
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!
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.
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...
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.
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 :\
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
Still one of my favorite games of all time!!! Top 5 forever!
i just love this masterpiece 😍♥️
clicked the video with a laugh and a "try me" but you didn't disappoint, nice work
I loved this episode. You guys should do an episode on X-2
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.
I remember Final Fantasy X and X-2 received the most cosplay out of all the final fantasy's
I love this game, but James Arnold Taylor *really* needed to redo some of his lines. Some of those line reads are so amateur it takes me out of it every time.
I'm not talking about the laughing scene, either. That scene is great. I'm talking about when they arrive at Zanarkand upon reaching the summit of Mount Gagazet. Auron's utterly iconic scene with Wakka and Tidus on the summit (which Matt Mckenzie really shines in) is immediately followed up by the next scene starting with JAT's read of "a city dead for a thousand years." It's like you can hear a record screech to a stop. That moment is somber and well-scripted, too, but it feels like they rushed the take and it's a damn shame.
Still love the game, though. :) Always will.
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.
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!
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
FFX is the greatest final fantasy title in the modern era.
hands down.
This channel is what actually convinced me to fully jump into the final fantasy series after only playing 7 remake and 15
The FFX FMV sequences you shared, specifically the one at around 02:00 showing Wakka ... which version is that one from? My FFX remastered doesn't look like that his hair is quite a bit more orange... Is there a difference in FMVs from version to version? Or is this a recording color discrepancy in what is shown versus what was recorded? Very curious.
That FFX ending theme when Yuna sacrificed the aeons... All the aeons vanishing.... This was to me more sad than the Tidus scene
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.
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
2:50 I just realized that everyone in this game wears a necklace. Siggghhh I love this game :3
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!
Dude - what is the music you have playing in the background on this video - it's lovely!
Don't worry - by the power of shazam i found it

FFX is probably my favorite FF game alongside 7. But I still haven't finished FFX-2. 😂
I like how you do genuinely give facts that most people, even hardcore fans, would likely not know. Most stuff like this is clickbait like " i bet you didn't know that Tidus is actually a dream".
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.
I feel so relaxed watching your videos
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.
IF YOU HAVENT DONE X-2 PLEASE DO SO! I LOVE THIS CONTENT.
Ty for coming to my TEDtalk.
Dope video. I have played this game a ton and was surprised at how much of this video I truly didn't know!!
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
What is the song that plays throughout the video?
11:52 Tidus uses all of his swords backwards. It has nothing to do with Crisis Core. It's to show his relative inexperience with using weapons, since most of his swords have a double edge but the second edge only stretching 1/3 of the way down the sword.
Great video. I will always come back for more FFX content.
I think it's a great decision that Square decided not to use celebrity actors for voice acting. FFX had many flaws as a first attempt, but in their next attempt in FFXII, it was phenomenal. Also, despite we making fun of "Tidus laugh", at least we associated that with the character so well that it is Tidus, not some random Hollywood star, that we remember today. People are already referring to Death Stranding characters by the actors' names rather than character names. Had that happened with Final Fantasy characters, it would have been catastrophic of the series.
“Far too ambitious”...
*FFXII pops up on the screen*
FFX is my favorite. Thanks for this.
Such a wise decision about the voice acting, I couldn't agree more. Great video.
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.
Great choice in background music.
Great information shared here Thank you,
Whts the name of the music?
Man, I felt hecka bad. I just got married and i was cleaning out my old stuff with my wife who just moved in and we were storing and throwing away old games and discs. Ps1,2,3,4,xbox and pretty much all my old games from different gaming systems. I threw away a lot and stored a few. But I exclusively separated my Final fantasy X apart from everything else. I was keeping that one on display in my living room. It got late so I went to sleep and the next morning I noticed she threw away the old and I didn't mind....until i couldn't find my FFX! I looked in the storage, the trash and all over my room. She was sleeping and I woke her up in panic, "Were did you put my FFX game?!" She looked scared and got up to say " You left it outside by the door". I went and got it and I stared at it...
Man this game meat so much to me that I almost raised my voice at my wife, I felt ashamed of myself. It hurt a lot but I just stored it away and I apologized to my wife. I never mentioned to her before how much this game meant to me. I'm a gamer at heart and I love the final fantasy franchise and I'll always love FFX but it's time to grow up and be a husband now.
Hey, just because you got married shouldn’t mean you should throw away the things you loved before. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
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
*Yin, to Tidus' Yang. Small correction :3
8:50
Just scrolled through so many comments to see if anyone caught and commented on that.
I see what you did there.
Gotta make sure those key search words are there in the title: Final, Fantasy, 7
These videos are so fantastic. Thank you
Thank you so much Danny 😄
What's that song playing throughout the video? It's beautiful
I want to know too.. I'am overall in love with piano melodies, and this is hauntingly beautiful.
SuperLumipallo it’s called Nostalgic Place performed by Myuu
@@youngrootv THANK YOU! :D
I loved the bit about the voice actors, the characters are bigger than the voices of those characters
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
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
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.”
With the info regarding the buster sword I'm surprised you didn't mention Shinra in 10 2 mention finding the energy source underground (mako)
Hey Vinnie, thanks for commenting! We didn't mention anything about Shinra because as you mentioned, that's within Final Fantasy X-2 and this video is about X. :)
Yes but they are both within the same world. Your mention of the buster sword (which I was unaware of) is a further argument that the two games could be connected.
@@masterchiefman3 shaddap Vinnie
An excellent retort
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!
Thank you for this insightful video, this is my favorite FF of all time. This game brings back memories of my teen years.
great research man, i thought i knew almost everything i could about ffx but i didn't know any of these!!
James Arnold Taylor:Voice actor of Tidus.
Me:So he's also Johnny Test and Ratchet? That's amazing!
Ffx is my favorite game of all time.
This will always be my favorite game ever
Sup brits it’s Kevin hope y’all had a nice thanksgiving keep doing great things you’re living the dream across the pond. Love yall
I enjoyed the video very much. My first ever FF was Final Fantasy Tactics on PS1, but I played it with an emulator due to PS1 being still almost as expensive as PS2 back then. But then I bought PS2 and Played FFX2 and FFXII. So FFX is still the most FF I found interesting. Especially when I played X2 first then X, the personality gaps of Yuna was very interesting stuff to experience
The one that blew my mind the most was the John DiMaggio one. That was something I wish I've always known!
I really enjoyed this video. I have played so many hours in this game. Also great soundtrack for your video.
I believe a prequel game with Jecht being the starting character would be awesome.
Auron or Braska as the lead would work. But yea, they should make it.
zidaryn absolutely! They’d all be together anyway lol.
Brandon Cannon No, it will be basically the same story and journey and scenery as ffx. It will also be a dick party
MCCiabattaGrande You can bet your ass that anyone referring to an all-male cast as a “dick party” is either a virgin geek or a feminist virgin geek.
Petter Nerman If you, (a random internet kid) say so, it has to be true 😂
