And that is why Yuna is my favourite female lead. Starting out as a reserved and quiet girl, her development and struggle with accepting her own death really makes you love her and root for her, so watching her having to kill all the Aeons just became really depressing and showcased real emotion.
I think they still not good enough. The way they show Yuna' reaction when Tidus said her that he will disappear. She would not only shocking suprise, but also confuse and cry because she lost too much in a battle.
That´s why I like this boss fight. It´s not hard but emotional. First you had to kill Jecht, than you kill one Aeon after another after you did a jpurney to get them and learn that they indeed were nothing more than humans that sacrificed themself the sake of humanity. Yu-Yevon itself isn´t even evil in nature. He is an vengeful spirit that wishes to keep things the way they were because the last time he saw change, his entire city got crushed by technology.
I can't even begin to imagine just how hard this was for Yuna. The Aeons were just as much her partners and friends as her Guardians, and here she had to summon them one after another, just so that they could die at the hands of the party and deprive Yu Yevon of hosts to possess.
0:23 Jecht: You're late, Auron.... Auron: I know.... Did that give anyone else chills? I mean, Auron has always been the pillar of strength and maturity for the group, the guiding light to see the process through to the end. For that one split second, it seemed like he was vulnerable...I really felt his connection and respect for Jecht in two words.
I love final fantasy, I've been riding since the first one originally launched on the NES. I have always thought the final bosses were always a huge let down compared to a lot of the sub bosses in the games. And honestly after working through such epic stories it's almost impossible to cap them off with bosses that do the entire story up to that point and justice at all. Plus I think knowing there's no more battles, no more quests, and the game is over after that fight, always made me loathe them
@@fatherof3husbandto1 well the thing about yu yevon is that after centuries upon centuries of summoning he is now a mindless pathetic entity, like Bahamut's little fayth said Yevon is no good nor evil, he is alive for one purpose only, just like how germs multiply because that's their instinct, they never intend to cause illness
Gravegroove it's because she's actually feeling pain, when the fayth join with a summoner it creates a mental bond, that's why when Yu Yevon possesses the final aeon it kills the summoner. So when you kill each aeon, that bond is being broken which causes her pain.
@@juliangallego7963 if you having nothing nice to say, please do not comment when everyons else is just trying to have a nice conversation...er... well.... start one... :-p either wzy.... noghing nice to say? keep it to yourself.
Symbolic the final boss is a tick - parasitical leech feeding off the never ending sorrow of Spira through religion, and in order to make his followers fall in line, relies on the powers of his created Aeons rather than on himself. In the end, when you strip away its' armor of Sin, and take away its ability to leech from the power of the Aeons, you have a being that can no more defend for itself as it could truly oppress you through strength.
@@Masterpain33 the ruling summoner, actually. He (it) was the one that transformed everyone into pyreflies and summoned the grand being known as sin. From there, sin was to be the guardian of the ethereal city and destroy any threats to its existence. Machina, just so happened to be it's TRUE threat.
The thing with Yu Yevon is that he is unconscious evil which is the most disturbing thing. Once a human summoner who became so indulged with the concept of summoning eventually abandoning all their humanity and only having one singular ambition. To summon no matter what it costs. Using the power of the dead who gave their souls to keep their homeland even in death he uses this font of energy to channel his power. He is not traditionally 'evil' as he has no conscious. All the pain and suffering of spira and its blissfully unaware of it all. Harrowing stuff
My favourite games are FF9 & FF7 But FF10 has the greatest story of all Final Fantasys. Sheer masterpiece, everything was done for a reason. In my opinion, this was the last great FF game.
I think whats really sad about the first scene is that...its like they're a father and son catching up after a long time of seeing eachother, as if nothing happened. They know what they have to do, but..they still take time to talk. Plus, its the most positive way Jecht's talked to Tidus that we've seen all game.
For those unaware, Yu Yevon is most likely a metaphor for Avijja, the Pali/Buddhist word for Ignorance, which is the sole true cause of all suffering and our indefinite and near-infinite journey through Samsara, the cycle of rebirth and stress. It is the cause of Sin, as sin itself doesn't exist when there is no craving, and the only reason we crave is because we don't know the Ultimate Truth that there is truly no reason to continue living and constantly doing good and evil. There is only one Truth that is important to know - that Self as we know it does not exist, and so our Ignorance is the belief that we are this Self (this body or our mind), and so to defeat Sin, you actually need to kill Ignorance, the belief that you are Self, which is symbolized here by Yu Yevon, this ball or "soul" that we believe we are. Kill this notion, this ignorance, and Sin will never again be reborn in the cycle. This is why FFX is the best FF - it is the journey of Nirvana and the most beautiful one told (mostly all FF games are about Nirvana, but the metaphors of this game are the clearest).
I think the way to cheese the final fight is by not leveling your Aeons throughout the game. They will reflect their current in game state at the end when you fight them so if you don't level them, then they can be one shot.
I made the mistake of letting one of the summons take a swipe at me for a giggle when max stat. It nearly killed my character lol. After that, I continued one shotting them.
First time beating this game i was 10 years old. Now im 30 and man i wish i understood the storyline at 10. This game is soo much better than it was then, and it has been my fav game my entire life
It's amazing how so much death and destruction caused by no one thinking of a third option to solve the problem for good. Then they make the sacrifice to do so and it all boils down to a parasite that literally can't harm you once it's out of hosts to take over.
Lore-wise, it makes perfect sense that Yu Yevon is weak. I just feel like they could have been more creative with the fight to make it not so anticlimactic.
I'd like to see him take your last aeon and desperately try to begin the creation of sin with it. Maybe force you to summon bahamut last so they can work with his model and make some malformed transformation. Nothing wrong with the imagery of a tick creature for a cutscene but not the best fit for the actual final boss
Bahamut was easily my favorite before I stumbled upon anime then eventually the magus sisters. He still has a special place as he was the first in all my playthroughs to break the 9999 limit.
Ein Aqila If you have a weapon with Sensor or use Scan, the Aeons have a message in the tooltip. All of them pretty much say goodbye and accept their deaths in their own words.
What hits me hard about this fight is the way Yuna is struggling to stand up as the summons go on. I realize now that it's because of the sorrow and pain she feels at watching her aeons die before her eyes.
Yuna looked so pained because she didn't want to watch the aeons she's bonded with get slain, but everyone, including the aeons understood why it had to happen. Yu yevon had no vessels that it could possess and was in the end defeated. And honestly, yu yevon being made to look like a tick was brilliant, as it was parasite on their world.
Not so fun fact: if you come into this fight with a sensor weapon- you can see that each aeon has the same HP stats as your own and when targeting them they have a little text box begging the party to kill them (Ifrit says extinguish my flame for example)
Well, I did this at a considerably lower level than you are here. I had Yuna cast reflect on him, had Tidus and Auron to take out the pillars to the left and right, then beat the tar out of him. Every time he attempted to heal, it reflected back onto one of the the party members.
Never understood why the yu yevon fight got hate. It's right next to cloud vs sephi for me. Both are unloseable and imo this is way more emotional. Square clearly took what they learned from this final fight and uped the ante. I still get emotional every time I watch this.
I do like the emotional impact you have fighting the aeons and yeah the yu yevon fight itself is for me not really something "I hate" But I don't like it so much to be honest, at my first attempt I was not really high leveld or was a good strategist, I didn't even had the zombie-status so I did fight this thing pretty long, since my damage output was not really high and it could generate all the time, I mean I did realise that it the maximum hp from yevon gets more and more lower...but I will never forget the frustration from this fight xD I mean when I was like 15-16 I did understand the fight a lot better and it gots easier...the atmosphere is still great =)
Because with the cloud sephiroth sure win battle, we got to see sephiroth, and battle him. With yu yevon, we get to fight some flea. It is incredibly lackluster for an awesome game.
oh man the memories. first time i played this it took me like an hour and a half to get through the aeons because I was so agonized about killing them one by one that i sat there for minutes on end going nooooooo instead of attacking.
Poor Yuna, crying her heart out as she summons aeon after aeon so they can kill them, and then there's Auron, grinning like a mad man on his aeon chopping block.
IIRC, the Ultimania briefly touched on it but, as with everything else in FFX, it is both subtle and an allegory: it represents the old, monolithic ways and _clinging_ to the past... much like a parasite, or a tick. Yu Yevon, or rather "Yu *of* Yevon" became a memetic virus, infecting Æons with the dream of Sin for the purpose of perpetuating Zanarkand. The two broken Pagodas rotate and interlock continuously: an allegory of how a fake religion can "mix and match" beliefs.
I feel like being so overpowered and beating the final boss in a few hits kinda takes away from the fight...i know this person probably poured 100+ hours into grinding but i feel like beating a boss of this calibur is more satisfying when the odds are more against you
Orishi Kirro honestly it's more satisfying knowing you have grinded for days in order to have these stats. It's more of a reward to players who dedicate time to the grind. I remember when I got my players into the 40k range and being able to take lesser foes out in one or two attacks! Best ff game imo
The monster arena in the calm lands had the real final bosses of the game like Ruby and Emerald weapon from FFVII. I think the monster arena had bosses, several IIRC, that had millions of HP and the 99,999 hit you did barely even scratched them. If you beat those bosses, Yu Yevon was pretty much a one shot kill deal.
@@cdoublee100 Grinding is lame and wack. The end of the game was such a shitshow for not grinding... I went and got Trio of 9999 to cheese the last stuff
That's what I love about this game, there's actually no true villains, it's people over the generations trying to protect what they love that ends up conflicting with that same end in the later generations
reaper leviathan Aeons were always my last resort in a boss fight, so I’d always make sure they had their overdrive in case they were like Seymour and would get one shotted by some broken move.
I've honestly been beaten by Jecht multiple times now and can't progress, I'm guessing because most of my characters only has 3k HP? I see a lot of people saying you can't lose to this and I did like about 10 times now? 😅
By the time I got to this part (I spent 1 year goofing around with the mobs just before this fight), my Wakka 3-shot Jecht with just regular attacks. I had leveled my characters too much.
Yu Yevon boss fight was so luckluster...in my first, blind playthrough, that.......thing, died in one single hit from Tidus's sword. That's all it took to end it. I always felt like Jecht was the true final boss, while killing Yu Yevon was just a formality in order to end the circle of that magnificent story they built
The first time that I play this game I couldn't stop playing it by the time that I finish the game I was tried and in tears because Yuna had lost her first love and it hurt.
Can someone explain the concept of being a summoner? Like how does Yuna have the power to use all those summons? Does she make a contract with them or she has on the ready?
When you talk to the fayth they make a contract with you.Also a mental bond how yu yevon kills the summoner he takes over any aeon used against him and turn them into the new sin.To end yu yevon you have to kill his hosts the aeons then kill him
The final fight with the aeons and Yu Yevon was rather bittersweet, if a little bit tedious. I really did enjoy the Jecht fight though --- even though it took me a few tries to figure out how to survive his strongest attacks lol.
Dumb question: in the original Final Fantasy X for the PS2 , is it possible start a new game , having the items , levels , weapons ets , from a completed game file ?
Tidus is so socially Awkward. "Hey guys. I'm going to disappear." Everyone just assumes he's going to beat off for the rest of his life in his basement.
you know...only a few people knew that Sin is just Yu Yevon's armor and yet they let Sin keep coming back. if they know Sin is just Yu Yevon's armor than Yu Yevon is actually the enemy not Sin. one fact alone Yu Yevon takes a aeon as a host to stay around to destroy in the physical world. once I knew and I sure the rest of you agree. once you what Sin actually is it didn't make sense with the whole final aeon thing. Yu Yevon destroyed the final aeon because that aeon was a real threat to him and also keeping everyone to know how to really kill it. well that's what I got from why that aeon is no longer alive. using "we have to make a new final aeon" is just a trap to give Yu Yevon a new body to feed on.
Not actually. Yunalesca is who made this idea about Final Aeon, not Yu Yevon - he died with the born of Sin. I think in the past, Yunalesca and everyone tried many ways to kill Sin, but all failed. Compare with the hatred about Machina War, how terrible human can be,... she really think Sin is the punisher for what the human did. I can tell the only reason why Yuna's group can defeat and get into Sin is Jetch. He tried to weak Sin,too.
Technically its yevons fault they knew about yu yevon and how he makes sin yet kept doing a pointless cycle of sacrifice giving yu yevon new hosts to possess only to have a temporary peace.At least yunas group used the past mistakes to make a new solution that had permanent results
The most depressing part is Yuna summoning her aeons and Auron basically executing them with one blow because that's the way to break the cycle and truly defeat Yu Yevon... I remember maxing everyone's sphere grid in the original released PS2 version after beating the game in the "traditional" way. I forgot how many hours it took to maxed it out. I didn't even do it efficiently by changing the blank points in the grid. All of my aeons had max stats because they are directly tied to Yuna's stats in the game. I don't think I broke my hp, mp, or attack cap or getting the best weapons in the game with the best skills attached to them. I didn't have the international version so I couldn't do or get every single thing. All I wanted was to grind out to maxed my party's grid sphere then rebeat the Sin & Yu Yevon again. The best place to that is keep grinding to a high level until you can grind mobs in the Omega Ruins which was an insanely dangerous secret zone when you first enter with high leveled characters. Expect many game overs at that place. The majority of my grindfest to fully maxed the sphere grid with every character was there.
Couple things, he spent a bit of time grinding out sphere levels and unlocked multiple characters grids thus allowing them to gain the strengths and abilities of them for multiple characters. He also unlocked the legendary weapons for them which allows the limit break for damage which is why he can hit above the 9999 limit. You can also unlock limit break by using (going from memory here) 99 blackholes on an ability slot but that is a really expensive route. I know you asked the question over a year ago but I figured I'd try to answer it incase you still didnt know
why do they have to kill all the aeons in the last part?If Yuna already know that they would be possesed, why would summon the second one till all of them? killing them all would result to what?
The only true way to put an end to sin, is to put an end to the summons. Yu Yevon possessing an Aeon renders it vulnerable. And the false tradition of the Final summoning restores Yu Yevon's armor (Sin). By possessing Aeons, like the Final Summon he can restore the armor to keep Dream Zanarkand in place by the Fayth dreams. Having Yu Yevon possess the aeons allowed the team to kill the aeons. The fayth wanted to end the dreaming. They knew what must be done.
TheFinaldragoon1 Yeah, but where's the fun in that? Haha. I usually just have Yuna cast Reflect on Yu Yevon instead. I realize how easy Yu Yevon is. But hey, I'm gonna face him, I at least wanna battle it out with him for a little while before he dies. But this is just my preference man. You're free to use Zombie if you so choose. I just choose not to.

Only for them to return in x-2 being controlled by shuyin
@@dragosanders4234 As far as I'm concerned X-2 never happened and FF died the day Square merged with Enix.
@@defectiveautismo5548 I still hope my RPG Maker skill will improve. So I will made the series of FFX's side stories, and FFX-2 rewrite of story. T T
Aeon is love, aeon is life.
So heartwrecking, butchering the aeons you've been the whole game with.
Well, I did this at a considerably lower level than you are here. I had Yuna cast reflect on him, had Tidus and Auron to take out the pillars to the left and right, then beat the tar out of him. Every time he attempted to heal, it reflected back onto one of the the party members.
Never understood why the yu yevon fight got hate. It's right next to cloud vs sephi for me. Both are unloseable and imo this is way more emotional. Square clearly took what they learned from this final fight and uped the ante.
I still get emotional every time I watch this.
I do like the emotional impact you have fighting the aeons and yeah the yu yevon fight itself is for me not really something "I hate" But I don't like it so much to be honest, at my first attempt I was not really high leveld or was a good strategist, I didn't even had the zombie-status so I did fight this thing pretty long, since my damage output was not really high and it could generate all the time, I mean I did realise that it the maximum hp from yevon gets more and more lower...but I will never forget the frustration from this fight xD I mean when I was like 15-16 I did understand the fight a lot better and it gots easier...the atmosphere is still great =)
Because with the cloud sephiroth sure win battle, we got to see sephiroth, and battle him. With yu yevon, we get to fight some flea. It is incredibly lackluster for an awesome game.
Jecht is the type of Dad that goes out for a pack of cigarettes and never comes home
Whoever busted their ass on the aeon animations must have demanded they be played in full by the player at the end.
*Battle Starts*
*Cast Zombie on Yu Yevon*
*Walks away laughing*
ITS LIFE + TIME AGAIN
oh man the memories. first time i played this it took me like an hour and a half to get through the aeons because I was so agonized about killing them one by one that i sat there for minutes on end going nooooooo instead of attacking.
So?.... That is not enough...
Poor Yuna, crying her heart out as she summons aeon after aeon so they can kill them, and then there's Auron, grinning like a mad man on his aeon chopping block.
24:09 what is that structure? why it exists? and why it got together when Yu Yevon was finanally killed? i can't find information about it anywhere
IIRC, the Ultimania briefly touched on it but, as with everything else in FFX, it is both subtle and an allegory: it represents the old, monolithic ways and _clinging_ to the past... much like a parasite, or a tick. Yu Yevon, or rather "Yu *of* Yevon" became a memetic virus, infecting Æons with the dream of Sin for the purpose of perpetuating Zanarkand.
The two broken Pagodas rotate and interlock continuously: an allegory of how a fake religion can "mix and match" beliefs.
@@UnlimitedFlyers thanks!
This was the saddest final battle I played in the franchise 😩😢 Jecht’s death and then the sacrifice of the Aeon 😢😢 and the Tidus disappearing
Play final fantasy crisis core that ending is gutwreching. It still hits me after watching it all over and over.
I feel like being so overpowered and beating the final boss in a few hits kinda takes away from the fight...i know this person probably poured 100+ hours into grinding but i feel like beating a boss of this calibur is more satisfying when the odds are more against you
There are a lot harder bosses though that will still put up a fair challenge
Orishi Kirro honestly it's more satisfying knowing you have grinded for days in order to have these stats. It's more of a reward to players who dedicate time to the grind. I remember when I got my players into the 40k range and being able to take lesser foes out in one or two attacks! Best ff game imo
The monster arena in the calm lands had the real final bosses of the game like Ruby and Emerald weapon from FFVII. I think the monster arena had bosses, several IIRC, that had millions of HP and the 99,999 hit you did barely even scratched them. If you beat those bosses, Yu Yevon was pretty much a one shot kill deal.
@@cdoublee100 Grinding is lame and wack. The end of the game was such a shitshow for not grinding... I went and got Trio of 9999 to cheese the last stuff
How cool would it be to get Jecht as an ACTUAL aeon?!
A max stats jecht
I still want a prequel to FFX...
This would have been intriguing, but they foiled it with the "sequel". Such a trash game. Dumpster fire.
ffx-3 is comming after ff7 remake is done sqare enix already stated this
This part got me all emotional. Have any of you ever hated your? At least enough to tell him, "dad, I hate you.".
+moises blanco (sherlock) I still do when it comes to mine
Oh yeah. Definitely.
I killed valefor last to make it memorable.
That's what I love about this game, there's actually no true villains, it's people over the generations trying to protect what they love that ends up conflicting with that same end in the later generations
Actually there is a true villain, it's Yu Yevon. Yu Yevon had to be defeated.
@@princessmagicalyu yevon only want to preserve zanarkand, bevelle is true villian.
@@princessmagical Yu yevon started out as a person wanting to defend his home, so in that sense he's not entirely evil
So we're just gonna forget Seymour?
@@cringepig2948 While he wasn't really evil in the beggining, over time he degraded into a mindless parasite. Which terrorised Spira for generations.
21:28 Yevon: Or, we make a deal: you don't kill me and go home have fun with that half-Al Bhed girl!
this was so epic, differently one of the favorite final boss fights.
The entire fight against all of Yuna's Aeons has to be the most gargantuan gut-punch in the history of JRPGs...
I remember getting my ass kicked by my own summonings, because Yuna was maxed and the rest... not so maxed.
I had to suffee a max stats anima :'(
Really glad that I maxed more than Yuna on my first play through.
reaper leviathan Aeons were always my last resort in a boss fight, so I’d always make sure they had their overdrive in case they were like Seymour and would get one shotted by some broken move.
They were the easiest thing in the game for me since they were so low lol
I've honestly been beaten by Jecht multiple times now and can't progress, I'm guessing because most of my characters only has 3k HP? I see a lot of people saying you can't lose to this and I did like about 10 times now? 😅
By the time I got to this part (I spent 1 year goofing around with the mobs just before this fight), my Wakka 3-shot Jecht with just regular attacks. I had leveled my characters too much.
I had him in 2 shots, anima wrecked his face, 99,999 damage a hit, regardless of defense
The music when you fight Jecht sounds quite familiar to Let the Bodies Hit the Floor
Also, Seek and Destroy by Metallica
Aeons: *badass summoning scenes*
Auron: ight ima stop you right there
Yu Yevon boss fight was so luckluster...in my first, blind playthrough, that.......thing, died in one single hit from Tidus's sword. That's all it took to end it. I always felt like Jecht was the true final boss, while killing Yu Yevon was just a formality in order to end the circle of that magnificent story they built
whats the name of that song at 10:51 ?
RealStrs07 hymn of the fayth
One of the things I liked about ff8 was that the opponents got stronger as well as you did so battles werent just ohkos like this
Of course, Ultimecia was watching the whole time, from the future...
Having to fight your Aeons was the most painful. . .
Easliy the best RPG in PS2 (Only behind SMT Nocturne)
The music during these battles shakes me to my core!
You can always increase the stats of the Aeons' for bit of a "challenge." But good luck collecting the needed spheres in order max them.😉
Dark Aeons & Penance exist for challenge
@@Alan-cm7ye No, challenge is maxing out their stats.
“Casts zombie stasus” DIES BY HEALING
I did and then used pheonix down..... insta kill lol
when ifrit catches an invisible person...
StoneTheMason Music the feels :(
How is there no save point from the 9 crystals thing, to fighting Jecht, to killing your Aeons, to Yu Yevon!?
23:42 "You can't kill God!"
Auron: "Hold my beer.."
Hey! Hey strider.
zombie atack - Phoenix down ... over
I think those turning blocks are also used in the Zonai Temples in TOTK. A nod to FFX?
hey man one question! were your aeons at full power with these one hit kills? lol
I hope if if a remake does inevitably come out, I hope they won't ruin the story and gameplay. Like VII...
Still waiting for X-3 20 years later
What song 5:15
That final Tidus farewell cuts cene was necessary to let the player hear the badass OST
The first time that I play this game I couldn't stop playing it by the time that I finish the game I was tried and in tears because Yuna had lost her first love and it hurt.
Can someone explain the concept of being a summoner? Like how does Yuna have the power to use all those summons? Does she make a contract with them or she has on the ready?
When you talk to the fayth they make a contract with you.Also a mental bond how yu yevon kills the summoner he takes over any aeon used against him and turn them into the new sin.To end yu yevon you have to kill his hosts the aeons then kill him
"THIS IS MY STORY!" not at all the rest of the people hanging around of course... LOL
In a way, he's right. Because afterwards, he's going to die. Their story isn't done yet. But his is coming to an end.
@@defectiveautismo5548 why does he have to die exactly?
The final fight with the aeons and Yu Yevon was rather bittersweet, if a little bit tedious. I really did enjoy the Jecht fight though --- even though it took me a few tries to figure out how to survive his strongest attacks lol.
I just need a link to download that yu yevon hymn … crazy gives me goose bumps every time i hear it
“Someday the dream will end...”
Dumb question: in the original Final Fantasy X for the PS2 , is it possible start a new game , having the items , levels , weapons ets , from a completed game file ?
There is no new game plus other than the Al Bhed language.
"You stay away!"
I remember the moment Tidus said that, I was like "Go get'em!"
Tidus is so socially Awkward.
"Hey guys. I'm going to disappear."
Everyone just assumes he's going to beat off for the rest of his life in his basement.
How painful yuna's feel. She kills all of her aeons and when tidus says "I'll dissapear." She was so upset by the look of her face 😢
for some reason trophy didnt pop for me anyone know why ?
This was literally the saddest part of the whole run. I wanted to cry so much.
dude. how long were you grinding to get your characters that strong?
1 shot the final boss? WTF lol
thats crazy. nice job!!!!!!!!!!!
Always nice to have a one-hitter quitter on the crew
“What are you talking about?” Hits different
you know...only a few people knew that Sin is just Yu Yevon's armor and yet they let Sin keep coming back. if they know Sin is just Yu Yevon's armor than Yu Yevon is actually the enemy not Sin. one fact alone Yu Yevon takes a aeon as a host to stay around to destroy in the physical world. once I knew and I sure the rest of you agree. once you what Sin actually is it didn't make sense with the whole final aeon thing. Yu Yevon destroyed the final aeon because that aeon was a real threat to him and also keeping everyone to know how to really kill it. well that's what I got from why that aeon is no longer alive. using "we have to make a new final aeon" is just a trap to give Yu Yevon a new body to feed on.
Not actually.
Yunalesca is who made this idea about Final Aeon, not Yu Yevon - he died with the born of Sin.
I think in the past, Yunalesca and everyone tried many ways to kill Sin, but all failed. Compare with the hatred about Machina War, how terrible human can be,... she really think Sin is the punisher for what the human did.
I can tell the only reason why Yuna's group can defeat and get into Sin is Jetch. He tried to weak Sin,too.
Technically its yevons fault they knew about yu yevon and how he makes sin yet kept doing a pointless cycle of sacrifice giving yu yevon new hosts to possess only to have a temporary peace.At least yunas group used the past mistakes to make a new solution that had permanent results
You can hit Triangle to skip turns you don't have to keep switching weapons or using heals
The most depressing part is Yuna summoning her aeons and Auron basically executing them with one blow because that's the way to break the cycle and truly defeat Yu Yevon... I remember maxing everyone's sphere grid in the original released PS2 version after beating the game in the "traditional" way. I forgot how many hours it took to maxed it out. I didn't even do it efficiently by changing the blank points in the grid. All of my aeons had max stats because they are directly tied to Yuna's stats in the game. I don't think I broke my hp, mp, or attack cap or getting the best weapons in the game with the best skills attached to them. I didn't have the international version so I couldn't do or get every single thing. All I wanted was to grind out to maxed my party's grid sphere then rebeat the Sin & Yu Yevon again. The best place to that is keep grinding to a high level until you can grind mobs in the Omega Ruins which was an insanely dangerous secret zone when you first enter with high leveled characters. Expect many game overs at that place. The majority of my grindfest to fully maxed the sphere grid with every character was there.
False, the best way to grind sphere grid levels is by the Don Tonberry trick.
i gotta ask, but how in the hell did you get so powerful, that is so awesome
Couple things, he spent a bit of time grinding out sphere levels and unlocked multiple characters grids thus allowing them to gain the strengths and abilities of them for multiple characters. He also unlocked the legendary weapons for them which allows the limit break for damage which is why he can hit above the 9999 limit. You can also unlock limit break by using (going from memory here) 99 blackholes on an ability slot but that is a really expensive route.
I know you asked the question over a year ago but I figured I'd try to answer it incase you still didnt know
@@killtyrant thank you so much.
@@Not08Deadpool
No problem homie, enjoy!
Me: Is expecting some sort of orchestral final boss theme
*IS bloody hard rock* HELL YEAH
So far best final boss theme for a final fantasy game!!!
as someone that mained the summons, because their graphics were so awesome, it hurt me deeply to have to cut them down.
Help me guyss pls someone answer to me when i summon the ice queeen my game become lag and crash
You could have just used a Phoenix Down to finish of that space tick!
why do they have to kill all the aeons in the last part?If Yuna already know that they would be possesed, why would summon the second one till all of them? killing them all would result to what?
She did that so that no one would ever summon them again and Yu Yevon were done for good
The only true way to put an end to sin, is to put an end to the summons.
Yu Yevon possessing an Aeon renders it vulnerable. And the false tradition of the Final summoning restores Yu Yevon's armor (Sin). By possessing Aeons, like the Final Summon he can restore the armor to keep Dream Zanarkand in place by the Fayth dreams. Having Yu Yevon possess the aeons allowed the team to kill the aeons.
The fayth wanted to end the dreaming. They knew what must be done.
I see, i feel sorry for yuna...
It was the only way to break the cycle.
Zombie attack and Full Life would of ended the battle way faster with the Parasitic You Yevon tick.
TheFinaldragoon1 Yeah, but where's the fun in that? Haha. I usually just have Yuna cast Reflect on Yu Yevon instead. I realize how easy Yu Yevon is. But hey, I'm gonna face him, I at least wanna battle it out with him for a little while before he dies. But this is just my preference man. You're free to use Zombie if you so choose. I just choose not to.
Oh after passing i about half a dozen times or more.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. Care to explain?
i beat the game so many times, i doesn't mater how i kill he end boss or not,
Ah, ok. I see now. I've beat FFX about 4 times.
ffx is the only pixeled with the most convincing world in a paradox so powerfully made in a game
Too bad not all final boss battles are accompanied by a killer metal track
I could mistaken, and possibly just dreamt this, but couldn’t you defeat it with one Phoenix down?
