I love how because of her fear of lightning, the first few times Rikku gets hit by a lightning spell she lets out a loud visceral scream instead of her normal damage audio, just further reinforcing her fear of lightning.
I also enjoy her screams
@@fartingshartingpig5287you wanna rephrase that?
Would have been better if she reacted to her friends being hit, cowering and screaming then too, maybe even move her turn due to it and such, adding more to the battle.
@@FerociousMit I kind of like that idea. Fear applies a movement penalty.
@@Randolorian230 I don't think fartingshartingpig5287 is gonna rephrase that
FfX my favorite story ever told the amount of layers and depth this story and charaters have is amazing
It is one of my favorite stories of all time, but I wouldn't be able to say it is my number one, my top five is suikoden 3, nier automata, final fantasy 10, suikoden 2, and metal gear solid 3. All five being very close in the running. If final fantasy 10 is your favorite I recommend trying one of these other 4, I think you will probably really enjoy them.😃
@@missingLEGACY i played mgs3 love it, and i wanna play nier but my pc too weak
Idk man but ff6 and ff tactics were that way for me 😊
X has been my favorite since release. My wife and I have played through at least 15 times across four console generations. We're actually planning another run through it and X-2 after I'm done with Tears of the Kingdom. I can't wait.
@@nunothedude dang man I’ll send you a GPU lol I don’t think it takes anything too crazy? Rx580? Like 60-70$
My very first FF game 🥲 FFX will always hold a special place in my heart...
Same.
say no more fam 😭😭
Same, I played this game around 2004 when i was about 7 years old. I get a very nostalgic feeling when I remember the game or when i replay it. I usually re play it from beginning to end once every 2 years
@@alexcis04 I do too...if I'm not playing I'm watching the cutscenes here on UA-cam or streaming the OSTs
Same!
Love the smooth transition through all 50 points. Just really well written and well edited. Thank you! And yes please more videos like this one for the whole series please :)
Thank you so much! It's definitely something we're considering depending on how this video ends up performing ~Darryl
Will forever be my favorite game of all times 22 years have passed by and nothing that came before or after made me feel anything near the rollercoaster of emotions i felt when i played FFX for the first time it got to the point where i have only replayed it a handful of times despite me replaying games constantly because i realized i don't need to i can replay the game whenever i want everything from the music of each moment of each scene to the tone the voice actors were using in X i can remember it and relive it by just thinking about it I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME!
Ahaha me too! I think it’s just overall an amazing story. It would have been great told in any format. Game, show/movie, book. It’s just a solid story. I have it on like every single gaming platform I own lol 😂 PS2, PS4, PC, Switch lol I have played it so many times and know it like the back of my hand lol. I’d argue it’s one of my favorite if not favorite games.
My father was a DIE HARD Final fantasy fan. I remember being like 5 or 6 and just being in awe listening to him talk about it. "Final fantasy 7 is the greatest game ever! Nothing competes!". I picked up FFX when I was about 10 and proceeded to play it for over 100 hours. A Year or so later when I was about 11, the world of Vana d'iel and FFXI came out. I remember my dad racing to EBgames(GameStop for you youngsters) and immediately buying the game and the hard drive you had to screw into the PS2 to play online. Once that happened, we were off, lvling joining guilds, we had the same account so we couldn't play together, but I remember hours upon hours of us just bouncing ideas off one another and just talking about how much we both were loving the game. We played for over 5 years until one day my dad decided he was done, but I kept playing, we grew apart around that time and I moved in with my mom all the while still playing. I would still bring it up to him here and there and his eyes would light up. He returned once more to the game for about 6 months but after that he quit for good. When I was 22 my father passed away, it was out of nowhere and unexpected as hell. My dad was an unga bunga Warrior main in FFXI, he loved the idea of a giant great axe. I play FFXIV, and regardless of what job I'm playing in each expansion, I always level my Warrior to max lvl, it's my way of keeping my father with me. I love you Dad, rest easy and know I'm cracking skulls with a great axe and meeting all kinds of friends along the way, just like you showed me pop!
this almost made me cry im not gonna lie
Thank you on behalf of everyone who read this, for taking the time to share your story.
By any chance have you played FF7Remake and Rebirth? I’m sure your dad would have LOVED it.
Cheers from Jenova! (FFXIV)
I never connected the dots that Kinoc entered the den of wow during operation mi’ihen when everyone would be distracted wow
I love, love, LOVE the fayth statue/painting(?) that is used for each separate summon. Those are so damn cool! I’m referring to the things on the floor that incorporates parts of the person who became the fayth and parts of the summon they would come to represent. I’m really happy that summons, as a class of being, are becoming more and more integral to the actual story, rather than just flashy magic attacks like how they began. I think 6 was the first to do this? I could be wrong lol
Wow, amazing vid. Would absolutely love more content like this. Lore vids were always my fav, and this one is on a whole other level. Bravo!
As a HUGE Final Fantasy X fan, i didn't knew some of those, this is a amazing informative video!❤
Thanks for the upload.
It took a very long time for me to realize Tidus wasnt actually transported to the future. Ive beaten the game multiple times and I know they outright say it but in my mind i thought Dream Zanarkand was being created the moment Tidus landed "in the future"
I never made that connection till reading your comment, I’d never thought about it.
@@GerikKnight76same.
Technically he did because he comes from a 1000 year old dream intonthe modern day haha
lol same
Well we learn that Jecht/Sin was how Auron was able to go to Dream Zanarkand and back. A lot of people seem to get thrown off seemingly fighting there during the final battles, but it's really just the few broken remaining memories Jecht still has and not DZ.
Also I'm glad it was finally mentioned that Sin actively protects DZ as a physical location, attacking sea-faring peoples and those advancing technology to potentially discover it. It gives Sin actual motive besides just being evil.
Perhaps in canon, Sin (as Jecht) allowed us to fly around on the Fahrenheit as long as we didn't approach DZ and perhaps why Baaj was hidden on the map.
That was actually a really really good and well done video... I expected screen wide transition numbers and titles but this was seamless... well done!
Love the seamless transitions through each of the points in the video. I think it’s something that can be easily overlooked if you’re not paying attention to it, but demonstrates a very good understand of the material being covered. Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next video
This video is SO good. I love how it effortlessly flows from one lore topic to the next almost all of which i’d forgotten or never realized back in 2000. Thanks
After watching others play FFX since its release on PC I've grown to appreciate it far more than in my own playthroughs. It's a work with a stellar understanding of its own themes and so thoroughly builds the whole world and its characters around them in a way that I've rarely seen accomplished outside of it and FFXIV. Greatly enjoyed the video, the fluid structure - outside of simply being nice to listen to - I think it better expresses that interconnectedness FFX did so well.
absolutely love this video! Very biased about FFX since it was both my first RPG and my first Final Fantasy!
These videos are good, as when you are playing the games, not only is it easier to forget the collections of little pieces of information as they come to you in sometimes forgettable and sometimes missable segments, but you often learn the information as you are in the middle of another task.
Making these compilations help contextualize everything.
What nice timing for the lore video. Planning to replay the game and get my platinum:)
Oof… 200 dodge, 0s time chocobo… blitzball… gl mate
@@lolguy00 I did those challenges multiple times. Actually Blitzball is the worst 😂
@@lolguy00blitz ball and chocobo race aren't too bad, but I have no interest in trying 200 lightning dodges in a row... I can't even get 1 right
@@Kwioresmadawg just doing blitz ball for the Waka sigil left me empty inside
I got into again few weeks ago and saw I only needed 2 more trophies. I was like why haven’t I platinum it yet. The 2 remaining was sphere master and filling out the whole sphere grid with everyone… I was like that why lol. But I finally accomplished it few days ago. Love the game don’t miss the grind.
Everytime I hear Trip to Zanarkand I get goosebumps. This game gives me so much nostalgia and i revisit it at least once a year. it is such a absolut Master piece
Started a new expert grid playthrough yesterday and today I find this video; lovely! Honestly my favourite game in a truly fantastic series.
This was awesome. Ive played X so many times and its great I can still learn new tidbits! Id love to see more story tidbits like this for the other titles as well!
Probably my favorite FF. My favorite battle system and an emotional ending. It's sad that Square hasn't told a story this good in over 20 years. (IMO)
lol considering its the greatest story in video game history, nobody has told a story this good since (or before). Its not sad, someone has to be the best.
I will say that while ffx is my favourite in the series, i can't really agree with the point on Square not making a story as good since, the reason for this is ff14
@@WittyCorvian14 story is dam near a masterpiece
@@kevincapote82 my point exactly, FF14 is the reason i can't agree with what the original commenter when they said "Square hasn't told a story this good in over 20 years"
I STILL get chills and the feels when Yuna performs the Sending in Kilika after Sin attacks. That shit is just 👌👌👌
man this was a smooth video, i watched it and thought "man #1 is pretty long..." look at the bottom right "oh dang, it's already #6" you don't even notic it because it's so smooth and most # weave into each other so well.
Any video that’s about Final Fantasy X/X-2 instantly gets a like and view from me 😁😁😁
Same, I instant-liked!
These lore videos just get better and better! Felt like one seamless story of Spira and it’s inhabitants throughout. Really well done! Here’s to many more!
Impressed by the structure of the script and how it made the video flow seamless from one fact to the next.
This concept was great!, can’t wait for Tactics or XII, that should be 2 hours long at least
This video was so beautifully written and paced dude. It feels like you're retelling a very real and alternate version of FF10
That was REALLY GOOD video! Nice, condensed, with good flow of points. Great job guys! Made me love X even more :)
I would absolutely watch a video Styled like this for every FF game. I really enjoyed this
When I first played FFX on my PS2 back in the day, I was so freaking impressed by everything it offered.
Then I gave up around getting Rikku in the party because the Sphere Grid made me so mad as a kid.
Now I wish I could replay it, not the Remastered versions, the OG. I still have my PS2 Copy, but no PS2.
Yes more of these please. The 13 trilogy has some fascinating lore if you take the time to read the datalogs.
FFX is my forever favorite FF game and i would gladly replay it over and over.
Nice! I see you managed to find the cutscene of Wantz talking to his sister on your own!
FFX is one of those games that didn't have to go this hard with it's lore & world building. But it did, and I love it!
Loved to see this deep dive into FFX and there's so much more to dive into when we're talking about 2, the book, calm, and the audio drama
Man FFX will forever be my favorite. Idc how many remakes you make. This one will forever be number 1 for me, music, world, relationships etc
Loved it! So many new connections and tidbits of info. Would love to see more videos like this.
FFX has some of my all time favorite FF Lore.
As much as I thought I knew about this game, I still learn!!! Great video!
While some games make lore towards political intrigue or the story of the world, FFX makes something special because is deep lore focused on characters, their stories and their actions, that's what makes this game so unique
I wish i could re-experience this game again. Truly a spectacle. I have it #2 on my all time list
This peeks my Interest. I want to know EVERYTHING There Is on *Final Fantasy X* right here
This was always one of my top favorite FF games, and I didn’t know at least half of this.
So do we know what fayth and aeon were at the Baaj temple before it was destroyed and before Seymour brought his mom's fayth? Great video as always, very smooth transitions.
MYbe Yojimbo? He was a stolen faith after all
Possibly the original home of Bahamut? Leviathan is conspicuously missing in a magic system that otherwise balances opposed pairs of elements (fire, ice, lightning, water) instead of the usual FF rock-paper-scissors arrangement of three (fire, ice, lightning), where water is an oddball/rare element, as with wind. We see the literal ghost of Leviathan as Evrae Eternae, and Bevelle strongly features water in its architecture design, so what if Bevelle was the original home of Leviathan, replaced by Bahamut after whatever happened to make Leviathan unusable? Having an aeon would be necessary to maintain their central position in the pilgrimage.
@@xheralt Leviathan doesn’t exist in the lore of FFX because Sins design is based on the biblical myth of Leviathan appearing as a sort of devil whale.
Hence it’s affiliation to water and Bevelle (a city on the water) being the stronghold of the Yevon cult.
@@kjh4496 NO. Just...no. Leviathan doesn't exist because of production deadlines that precluded its inclusion. As noted before the games magic system otherwise very carefully balances fire versus ice and lightning versus water in enemy elemental affiliation and usage. It being a "devil whale" didn't inhibit it from appearing in other titles. Ifrit has the classic appearance of a demon, and due to being an Arabic godlet is often considered as such. Valefor, I've discovered (courtesy of Shadow Hearts: Covenant) is the name of a demon of the Bastion of Riches. Leviathan has a strong secular meaning of simply being anything very large. Hence, demonic associations with the name did not cause exclusion.
@@xheralt Everything you just said is nonsense. There were no plans for Leviathan to be in the game ever.
Sin already has the image of the myth of Leviathan and occupies the ocean. Also Aeons are not guardians of the temples they are in or the region they occupy based on their elemental affinity , they have no physical manifestations outside of being summoned as they are made of pyreflies.
Had fun once you could sorta explore at the end. I do think I played more blitz ball than main story.
Just started my replay of X last night. Amazing
It's amazing how you made all this flow so seamlessly!
I'd love it if you could do a video like this for the other mainline FF games
Finally, a number other than 7.
Wow there was a lot in here I didn't know and this is my favorite FF. I don't remember a lot of this stuff being talked about in the game. Was a lot of this information in some sort of lore guide or the ultimania? In any case this is cool.
Fantastic lore video! I'd be interested in more like this: 20 to 30 minutes in length.
You did amazing on this. Thank you so much for bringing honor to this story with your understanding and teaching of it!!
I freaking love these videos. I could talk about ffx, ffviii, and FFVII all day. Such amazing games
Very well written with pace and flow. Thank you for making this, I hope there is more FFX content in the future!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Ffx will always be my favourite, spent so many of my 6 weeks holidays playing this and monster hunter ❤
Could you make a video about the evolution of Ramuh, it’s one of the summons I don’t know so much about
Thank you for so much great content. You together with Night sky prince and Final Fantasy peasant made me want to start a channel ❤❤❤❤❤
the biggest secret and mystery on FF X is Did Tidus and his family (his Mom and Dad) is based on real zanarkand person or not......??! And if someone want X-3, I suggest based on Zanarkand ancient war with Bevelle 1000 years ago, not about Braska Journey because X already tell his story. Story about zanarkand peoples on that time like Yunalesca and his father Yu Yevon and his motivation to become SIN absolutly intriguing me.
Just beat the game again recently. Still great
Great video!
My friend and I are currently doing a NSG run right now. Just got through the highroad.
This is a great video! I’d love to see more like this on other ff games 😊
I love learning new things about this game. I think with this video i need to start my yearly playthrough
Wow i never knew that tidbit about O'aka. Legit had me tearing up upon hearing about it.
First FF game & one of my favourite games ever, has to be the game I've replayed the most, I think it's nearly time again
Recently went back on to try FFX-2 hellish 100%, after giving it a second chance I’ve finally found it really enjoyable
FFX is my favorite video game of all time next to Jade Dynasty. Its the only game I ever played that made me cry my ass off at the end. Such a great storyline and overall game.
This video cleared up a lot of things for me regarding the story.
Yes! This was a wonderful video. I loved how well you put it all together. I felt very similar to a Vaati video from Elden Ring and I was intrigued throughout. I would love to see more of these from all of the games!
Dream Zanarkand was on the same plane as Spira?! Sin was the Guardian?!? I never ever knew this! That is so cool!
I absolutely disagree with that. It has somehow become an article of faith among FFX fans, maybe from something in the Ultimania (which I have not read). I will maintain to my dying breath that dream zanarkand is, well, a DREAM, that is has no physical existence anywhere on Spira, much less near Baaj. It's like Cities:Skyline on steroids played out in the virtual space of the Farplane. The fayth Scar is the hardware, the memories of the 100's of encased souls are the data ROMS (imperishable and unchanging because encased in stone), with Yevon's summoning spell being the game engine. Yevon needs energy to keep the casting going, and once he first took over Sin (shortly after Sin was summoned), he had a renewable energy source...the aeons (and Final Aeons) fed to Sin in the name of putting Sin down! Yunalesca loved her father, and did his bidding to perpetuate his grand scheme. She knew what would happen to her husband when she made him into the first Final Aeon, a deep betrayal that marked her soul in ways not apparent until Yuna drew out her final medusa-esque form a thousand years later! Thus the cycle began.
@@xheraltAeons are dreams and also physically interact (battle) with Spira, the same is true for Dream Zanarkand.
@@enoyna1001 Whoa, where and when does Dream Zanarkand EVER directly interact with the surface world, in-game? I'll tell you right now: NEVER. Tidus's brief return at the Fayth Scar was in spirit only, his unconscious Spiran body left behind (much to the concern of the party!). *Aeons are not dreams,* they are summoned manifestations with specific defined (and temporary) forms. A more valid comparison would be Tidus vs. unsent such as Seymour or Auron, who built bodies for themselves from pyreflies via sheer willpower. Tidus's Spiran body was _built for him_ using Sin's power when Auron came to DZ. The FAYTHS are the dreamers, having been immortalized but with little to do when not granting (or refusing) aeons to prospective summoners. Or, if part of the Fayth Scar, dreaming of Zanarkand-that-Was. Don't confuse your beer or gin with the glass you drink it in.
I call bullshit on DZ being physical because if it were ANYWHERE on the surface, it would be found. Exploring Al Bhed would find it. You can't hide the lights and noise of something the size of New York City, of SIngapore, of Dubai. LOOK at dream Zanarkand, with the giant water arches! THOSE would be visible over the horizon long before the city itself! Rippling and moving _the wrong way_ with respect to the rest of the ocean, THAT would catch a sailor's attention! Sound travels surprising distances, especially over quiet oceans at night, and Spira's oceans are VERY quiet!
@@xheralt Sin (Jecht) interacts with/attacks DZ literally in the beginning of the game and later Spira which would suggest it's both real. You seem to be stuck in your very first playthrough regarding your explanations, go read the FF wiki or something. There's no point trying to convince you what's truly happening in the game.
This was by far my most favorite platinum. Im currently cursing 9's jump rope mini game and ATE system. The pain. Lol.
I learnt sooo much from this video, and the flow was seemlees. Thanks so much for putting it together, and I hope you do more.
20 years ago I thought the FMVs of FFX were as good as 3D graphics could EVER look. 20 years later, even cell phone games can make those FMVs look primitive. But what HASN'T changed is that FFX is a damn good RPG. Blitzball, summons that you can control, an amazing story, flashy ultimate moves for every character (even the temporary guest character!), deep "post final boss" content... the list of good things just go on and on.
fantastic video I am always surprised that there is STILL small things I don't know about this game!
As a hardcore FFX fan, this video was amazing. Thank you.
Fantastic video! The deep-seeded lore is probably one of the reasons I liked FFX, in spite of its numerous flaws. Same goes with FFXI where they spent something like 3 years developing the world and history before even writing for it. I'd love to see a lore video covering all of that.
Just when I think I’ve learned everything I could about FFX, you give me even more interesting information, it’s fantastic! Thank you!
I love this game so much, i am playing ff8 right now without VA immersion is reduced
Final Fantasy Union, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!
really enjoyed all this lore to my fave FF ever! definitely would be interested in more videos like this for other entries in the series :D
I think I never saw a game as alive as this. on every corner there is history to find spanning back 100s of years which all are clearly still seen in the culture presented now and woven into the story line. it really feels like they created the world first and then included the story afterwards.
Wakka used to annoy me so much. 😂
FFX has such a unique lore, you will never see a movie/game that can get even close
my first FF game was FFVII. and as mush as I love the antagonist of that series, Sephiroth, and the lore behind FFVII, specifically Crisis Core; There's no denying that FFX was the best story hands down! of the series and the lore especially.
It's a little high paced and disjointed, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I could do another. VIII would be good.
When wakka finally understood I cried
Lulu’s jump off that ship though 😂 👌
This was really well put together, thanks.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for the support!
9:40 I don't believe it was Sin who attacked and destroyed Home, it was the Guado.
Now this is what I’m talking about, fantastic video
awesome video! however i have always wondered, how long did the calms tend to last? does anyone know a time frame for them?
How a game this old got a new video 8 months ago is hilarious and amazing, I probably already know all this but I'm still gonna use this to fall asleep 🤣
I loved this video. FFX is one of my favourite games and I still learned a lot of cool facts that I didn't know from playing the game
Awesome video. Where’s the music from?
Loved this video - took me back to Spira after a couple of years away
FFX is my 2nd favorite just behind 6 so I love to learn more about it anytime I can
Great video, should do one for X-2 as I love both games story and how each is told.
Great video, this needs a few hundred thousand views at least
i just got back on playing it.... I'm trying to beat it 100%, but as i was re-playing it, i noticed how little i knew about the game and its plot. its truly a masterpiece! 10/10
