Not gonna lie. This game was 70% cringe 30% gotta get Tidus and Yuna reunited no matter what.
Agreed
LloydSkyLion played again and I was cringing like crazy 😬 especially when yuna gets her dress-sphere back and starts dancing randomly.
Oh god it was super embarrassing 😳
More like 90%
@@butternutyeeetsbanana.-.5389 found out her religion is fake so she can act out
What kills me was that X-2 was supposed to be about Auron, Braska, and Jecht's travels.
3 minutes after the ending.
Tidus: sooooo....about those dress spheres
Final Fantasy: Brother's Angels
This comment needs more appreciation.
lol they really did love their western movies
Let's see...
Totally Speheres!
Brother and the P***y Spheres
Welp that's all I got
when i was a kid i asked my parents to buy this for me after i finished FFX... but they bought the wrong one and got me FFX again
Rflmao
@Juanse lucky u, i was sooooooo mad
Lmao
L O L
Sounds about right
I just remember when they're on top of the airship. Yuna tells brother "higher", and he says "Roger!" Then yuna again "faster!" Then brother "RRROOGGGGGGEEEEEERRRRR!!!"
Pro Tip: Play this game by yourself, doors locked, volume down.
Knox Fapping to those Berserker dress spheres?😂
Like in Senran Kagura?
@@thenewguyinred I play that with surround sound and a projector on the side of my house 😂
I agree always have always will
her brother...named brother... and his buddy Also named buddy???? lol who is in charge of names?
japanese i assuming they used english in their japanese game
Canadians
didn't these guys name their home "Home" as well
mike lints 😂
lmaoooo @@Junereth their favorite place to eat is Restaurant. Their favorite thing on the menu is food.
FFX ending made me sad to a whole new level. It really hit somewhere that Yuna and Tidus wouldn’t be together after that long journey. I’ve never once played X-2 but I’m glad I could watch a 13 min video to see the next 5 seconds after Tidus swims up and learn Tidus got to stay. I’m also conflicted
This game had one of the most shocking commercials to promote the game. The commercial showed the tidus and Yuna running from soldiers and getting gunned down
Yeah but it made us buy it to find out wtf is going on.
Tidus is the distorted memory the faith had of shuyin. As the faith were dreaming for over 1000 years after countless generations and cycles of life and death Tidus was created. That's why he was so uncanny to shuyin.
Ur ass is uncanny to shujin.
I guess I'm the only person who totally loves this game without being ashamed. Obviously writing is less grand than other ff games but I just felt the job system and combat are fun.
I loved this game. Yeah, it was cheesy but so what. I had so much fun playing it. The cheesy bits were good for some laughs too.
I thought it's cheesiness and light-heartedness was good as a follow up to the depth and heaviness of its predecessor.
It was more like an expansion pack for x than anything to me.
I love it it's my #2 favorite of them all
It's a bit cringe but I agree.
The story of Tidus and Yuna is one of the most beautiful in all of gaming.
I'll never be able to forget the scene in the woods from FFX.
and then they broke up after just one year (audio drama from the ps3 remaster)
@NicoGylis it's bad fan fiction so it doesn't count
@@an_impasse doesn't matter if you like it or not, it's official content and therefore canon
Still love this game and sing the songs 😂 1000 words is my jam
Wakka's completed character arc was the best part of this game
This game's music is spectacular. I loved the battle system and jobs available in the game.
Yeah that tone shift... I was not ready for that
Felt like I had walked into the middle of some pre-teen girl's slumber party.
I enjoyed this game. It was nice and light hearted, but did have serious moments too. It had a great battle system, and I really enjoyed this game. Unappreciated since most people just turn it off after the opening.
+Rhast K I agree. I really like the light-heart approach to a war that lasted for more than one thousand years. FFX-2 is about creating a new future and living a new life and being free from all the choas Spira endured. Why not kick back and enjoy the fruits of labor in a post-spira? FFX-2 is one of my fave games. It's a continuation of post-war events, not an comparison.
the reason most of us turned the game off after the opening is because it COMPLETELY undermines the events and ending of FFX. Yuna just experienced the most traumatic thing in her life and the first scene was of her singing a pop song at a concert??? no. it was an INSULT. I was completely shocked in the opening and to be honest I was mad.
but for the people who DID end up completing the game we realized that that was Lenne, not Yuna. But square enix made a REALLY bad decision making that the opening of the game. they should have made the opening of Yuna finding the sphere that made her become a sphere hunter (with who she thought was Tidus), and THEN jump into the light heartedness of the game. Not start off with someone who just lost the love of her life after dedicating her life to brining peace to the world acting as if nothing happened and singing and dancing.
Morninngg Keenan eh it doesn't really undermine the events of the prior game since it really isn't Yuna singing pop songs it's even implied it's not here in the opening cinematic with the character intros with hers being "Yuna?" But to each their own if you don't like it that's cool
Morning K, I have your back. I would have preferred to get eased into this different Spira rather than have it slap me in the face with pop music, especially after such a powerfully painful ending from the first X. I also cannot get over the plot point where civil war is stopped by a concert... that is just poor writing in my opinion. The sheer idea ended my "suspense of disbelief" and made me realize just fictional (fake) this fictional story really is. I want to get lost in the world of FFX, not get reminded that it is all make believe.
Rhast can’t blame hem too much come on;-).
I ‘m in the grey zone.
I bought it cause of the prequel finale and I was waiting to see Tidus back. After the singing cut scene at 3/4 of the game I felt not really involved emotionally ,aside for a slight nostalgia as I loved the 10. I started thinking tidus was just shyiun and that’s it which got me even more put off so I sold it (first ff I ever sold before beating the game and I never stopped doing so with all the following disappointments aside for 15 which I’ve been waiting to improve till now).
I’m glad at least Yuna got Tidus back...if anything
I slogged my way through X Remaster and couldn't imagine going through X-2. You saved me from either playing it or watching 6 hours of cut-scenes... Thanks!!!
Haha dude same
I loved x tho probably my favorite game of all time but I couldn’t deal with x2
I mean I'm glad Yuna and Titus got back together in the end, but it kinda seemed like it ahould have been more of a central focus for the game with how x ended off
I remember playing this game from dusk until dawn in 1 sitting. I don't think I've ever done that for another game. It's not even that I liked this game, but I wanted to see what happened to tidus.
exactly but I really don't see myself playing it so I watched this video
Had the biggest child crush on yuna and riku lol.
not on Lulu???
all the ladies of X and X-2 are waifu material ^_^
truth except dona
Gee Smack Joey Pads waifu is translated as wife. so yup. :)
I liked Paine personally
The thunder planes is a lovely place to hangout despite their not being much to do there.
The combat fluidity of this game was the only thing I enjoyed about it.
I think the reason this Recap is so much shorter than the other ones is because the narrator left out several different scenarios and alter endings. Such as the choice of choosing New yevon over the youth leage, the Guado Genocide and the ending where Yuna chooses to let Tidus go.
the recap chose the official progress, rather than any other possibilities. meaning that the intended progress path was the one shown.
these alternatives - while it is totally valid to choose them yourself - are not canon. the ending of ffx clearly shows which path is the one that fits into the storyline.
you could consider the other ones what-if scenarios
But there are only two ending, and FFX already stablished which was the canon one
even after this canonical end where they are reunited, they canonically break after just one year (audio drama from the ps3 remaster)
Shuyin? As in "shoe in" for tidus? Funny if that were true.
Afro San LOL
I love this game because it gave us a rather unique perspective within the RPG genre; a chance to see how the world adjusts and moves on after the world ending and changing event.
Made even more special because I just love the world of Spira.
i love "aftermath" sequels, where instead of scaling up the conflict indefinitely the world gets to process what happened and characters have differing stances.
pokemon black and white 2 would be another cool example. (and maybe tlou2? even though that one doesn't really feel less oppressing than the 1st)
Sphere? An orb that has multiple usage and magical powers within to enhance the user ability? A boy named ShinRa? Hmm...
I always wondered if he came back in this one but never could get into this one.. The only FF I didn't care about beating. Thanks for the upload
Really enjoyed this game. Kind of the Sailor Moon game we never got. Poppy themes and all that aside, the jobs and combat were prolly some of my most favorite in FF period.
Brushed right over the controversial hot spring scene hahaha
It's like terrible fanfic.
Sigh, you realise I now have to search this out.
What about the massage scene with Leblanc?
I know its fan service, but the best part about this game was the good ending with Tidus coming back. I hope they retcon the audio file they added with FFX/X2 and do not make another sequel. Knowing Yuna and Tidus end up together is enough.
Thanks for this! it's nice to recap. It was great seeing how the story evolves after X. Plus the music was a nice touch.
It's a tearjerker for sure.
And then they broke up and Tidus got exploded by a Blitzball
they should re make the first final fantasy . love the story. it's just like final fantasy 10.and endless cycle but the first has time travel
I never got that ending where Yuna and Tidius reunite! I completed the game sooo many times but I guess not fully 100% as there were multiple outcomes\endings.
You don't even need 100% actually, you need 90% and then during the scene when Yuna is in the farplane, seperated from Paine and Rikku, you have to press X like 4 times to whistle. There is no indication of this being neccessary, so I don't blame you for missing it.
I remember as a kid I hated this game because my stupid ass found the Lure Bracer, and I equipped it not knowing what it did, and I got so mad there was a random encounter every 1.25 seconds. The encounter rate was already insanely high in this game to begin with. Maybe I’ll play it again.
Wow. This is awesome. I love this. Thank you! I won't have time to play this so I'm glad I know what happens without having to go through the whole game.
Great summary for this game. It was concise and easy to follow. I remember getting to the end right before Vegnagun but for some reason I got busy and never went back to finish this game. I always said I'd go back because I loved FFX so much I wanted to know what the hell happened to Tidus. Was he a dream? Did he have to go back to his time? Did he die? Thank for answering a question in my head for over a decade.
You just want a top comment.
Amazing narration, got me teared up. Well done sir, you deserve more recognition for your work.
Love your videos and the thoroughness of each video content. Sure will watch every ff video you have. Support.
thanks for all the great recaps!
FFX - Girls edition. Thanks for summing up what i couldnt manage to play as a kid, now i know the outcome without the horrible writing and system. Dont get me wrong. FFX is one of the best games ever created. FFX-2 not so much
I love how this game was and it’s strange how much people hated it. It was just a fun lighthearted (mostly) adventure, and yes it may not be as big or as grand as the prequel but I will always hold this one close to my heart. ❤️
One of my favourite FF games ever
Ahhh.. Happy ending closure for Yuna and Tidus! I've never felt so bloody happy for that ending. After that awfully depressing ending in FFX i'm so glad they got back together. I mean one can only speculate so much so with the ending with Tidus underwater.
Well. Technically the ending of ffx showed us tidus was a dream the fayths produced for Yuna to fall out of love with Seymour and defeat sin, they just didn't realize how much in love she would be, so they gave her a second chance to have tidus back by fixing what shuyin originally tried to fix that caused sin in the first place.
Finally I know the story of X2, I could never play this game even though I tried, with the guide book. I just couldn't take the battle system or some of the lines in the story and conversations. Plus Final Fantasy 10 was the first Final Fantasy game I played and 100% completed. So I was with a lot of people hoping for a prequel game. By the way, Final Fantasy 7 was the second Final Fantasy game I played and 99% completed... (I missed one matairia on that dame train...)
FF x-2 suffer immensely from the happy go lucky childish tone of the introduction. And yet, it's the best jobtype final fantasy game with a very active interesting gameplay refined from FF3 and FF5. FF12 have a job system but with no interest has it only mean something in the beginning.
X-2's plot isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. It's just that the stuff that people complain about is pretty much front-loaded in Chapters 1 and 2.
No
5:52 Vagnagun? More like Vagnagone! AMIRITE?!
The story and the character “development” were very cringeworthy, but the battles and the battle system were a lot of fun. Once you get over the fact that you are quite literally playing dress-up to defeat monsters, it’s a lot of fun. One of the early adopters of New Game+ too.
Funny thing is I could not get in to the gameplay but I enjoyed the Characters in this game. I like how they handled Yuna.
Bravely Defeault and a lot of other games with job systems also have different outfits fore each job.
agreed
When I heard Shinra I thought of Shinra, the dudes who harvest mako energy (Do correct me if i did it correct)
Yes. The Shin-Ra company of FF7.
God this shit was cringey and it was like doing an errand it wasn’t fun to play that much man I was bored when I re-played the game, they should make a remake of legend of dragoon that was a good freaking game with a really good detailed plot and I like doing the fight through because it makes more engaged to fighting
Thank you for the recap series! I love it!
getting the Tidus ending is tough to do at one point think i had it 50% but just couldn't get his full ending
Top 3 best game commercials ever this put ff back on
if i remember in the bonus audio, Tidus and Yuna broke up and Yuna got a relationship with someone
I could be wrong but isn't the Youth League the best/correct option to get 100% first play through? If I recall I get higher % than New Yevon. I never got that last garment sadly. Wasn't really my favorite Final Fantasy game to be honest.
this helped clear alot up because final fantasy X-2 this was my first final fantasy that i completed but i don't think i got the true ending
I bought the game and remember seeing one comment online back in the day describe them game as a game version of a panty raid and I couldn’t think of the game the same after that. 😄
I do love the nice ending, but I can't get through with the game itself. The combat system is too chaotic and the new grid system just screams meh to me.
In that screen shot Bahamut doesn't say they were turned into fiends. He says they're no better than fiends.
I don't see why this game gets hate the combat so good
I'll never forget ordering a US copy of the game from a website called goblindirect to the UK and it NEVER arrived :(
I love this game.
i wonder how well a square enix cloths lines would do
lets face it X-2 was a massive cash grab taking advantage of X's success, it shouldn't have happened. Its like the dead or alive volleyball equivalent of final fantasy.
Spot on.
I could not really get in to the gameplay but I did enjoy the characters and story a lot. It was really interesting seing how Yuna is after she no longer has to be the prime and proper summoner to make people happy. Now she can do here own thing. I really like how they handled Yunas character in this game.
@@sofaris576 i dunno i just felt super uncomfortable playing it, it was super cringe
@@mattyoblobber Uncomfortable? That reminds me that I heard a lot of people complained about the fanservice which means sexy character designs if I am not wrong which I found amusing since FFX outsines FFX-2 in terms of sexy Character designs with Shiva on the team. Atleast in my opinion. When I was a kid I found Shiva beatiful without relizing that she is sexy. I think I did not even knew that word back then. I also had no problem with the X-2 outfits. And now I dont mind if a character design is sexy as long as it locks good. Which kinda leads to me not even thinking about if a design is supppose to be sexy. And When I notice it does not bother me. Sexy is to me a normal a superfical character trait like cutness.
Although Fanservice sometimes leads to some ugly designs. The X-2 ones where to me not exactly memroable but not bad.
So as a kid I did not know and now I did not mind. I dont know if that is what made you feel uncomfortable but gameplay aside none of FFX-2 I found uncomfortable ore cringy. Not to bash on the gameplay but it did not click with me.
I remember as a kid being terrified of the Mega Tomberrys
@@sofaris576 i just felt like it was made for thirsty fans who had a crush on yuna and rikku and nothing else because it didn't really wrap up the story either, couldn't take it seriously whatsoever.
great job dude. u should make fire emblem next
i didn't play ffx-2 and had to watch this video because... yuna with weapons? cmon
Well she did fight in the first game so it's not unbelievable.
OMG Yuna...being independent, making her own decisions, soo strange.... Character development, what is that?????? Why not just make Yuna all like "If I can't be a summoner and *Die* for everyone, I guess I'll go take my place in the kitchen, sandwiches anyone?"
Character growth.....pfffbtt.
TheLittleMerwolf Hahaha! Your comment made my day!! 😂😂
TheLittleMerwolf thank you so much. I get so angry when these chauvinistic dudes can't except when women are front runners. They can only be side characters only there for fan service. I loved the Charlie's Angels-esque theme for this game
Fun fact: if you listen closely to the opening song of this game, *Real Emotion* you can actually hear the *Charlie's Angels* theme song woven in.
i like battle mechanic in this game..its just,..a bit embarrasing to play XD
FF: Pop Idol/dressing game edition.
This is when the final fantasy series killed itself after 10. 10 was bearable but this was utterly shocking for me. Run in a straight line!!!!!
I loved this game
Looking back, this game is like a cross between FF and Persona.
I can't bring myself to play it again, I had a small shot when I was young but I just cant
This game is the biggest jebait of all time. “Want more Final Fantasy X? Too bad! Here’s a 20 hour long K-Pop video!”
J-pop?
what is Final Fantasy X-2... Charlie Angles in Final Fantasy X
I watch all ur videos .great job.
OMG the graphics on this game for PS2 was outstanding
I quit the game 5mins in and juding from your recap I made the right decision. Thank you.
Is it just me or does yunas face look weird and/or different in this game compared to x-1 ?
What happened in Final Fantasy XI?
Oni Black mage >dies
So no play this trying to get the story to 100% first time through. Because that only made me love this game
I tried to play this game when it released...but, just couldn't get into this one. I just didn't enjoy this game. Thanks for making this recap. Now, I at least know how the story happened. Unfortunately, though, this further confirmed for me that I likely wouldn't have enjoyed this game.
Here’s the thing with this game : yeah it’s pretty cringe at parts but the gameplay is actually pretty good.
I will never understand why they made this weird ass plot here. They had a plot, finding tidus... the tidus lookalike, and the way they used the new plot to make tidus seem like a footnote just barely remembered at the end of the game just doesn’t make sense to me
I still remember the complete disappointment of opening the menu to find the sphere grid was replaced by a shitty dress system. couldnt finish the game cause i couldnt take it seriously.
The music is so loud I can barely hear you sometimes.
The weirdest thing is Nojima wrote FF7 and FF8, it's shocking that this FFX-2 garbage came from the same brain.
X _2 was enjoyable but i would of liked to see more screen time of feal tidas
I don't care what anyone says. I love this game. It was actually my first FF game.
You got your dates wrong. It was released 4th quarter 03. Maybe in Japan it was 02, but i doubt it was released there a full year before NA got it...
Good catch! I even had it as 2003 in my notes and in the captioning.
I preferred the “bad” ending where she accepts Titus death and cherishes the memories as she walks towards the uncertainty of her new life free of sin and Veg
Wow - I remember watching some of this game once! I can only recall bits and pieces, not enough to confirm it as a Final Fantasy without this vid, but what I remember was cute.
I'm willing to believe that X-2 wasn't as good as X; statistically, most sequels just aren't as good as their own prequels - for various reasons that I can't recall offhand. I'd still play this one, though, because I like my stories to end with everyone happy (and the original X ended with a major character vanishing into oblivion and only _implying_ that he returns).
Wakka and Lulu should have named their child Wakkalu. Or Luwakka. Yeah, Wakkalu.
This game is pretty fun. I enjoy it a lot. I don't think I've ever 100% it though. Still. I think it's more for Casual players and not so much for competitive gameplay. Of course, It's just an opinion
I love your videos very insightful but I have one critique I can't make out what you're saying sometimes. Sometimes I can't hear you over the music and some times you slur your words together. Other times your tone gets lost in the sounds around you and it makes it impossible to understand what you're saying. I've had to rewind a few times just to make out one phrase or sentence. Can you please improve upon that. It would make your videos sooooo much better.
will you be doing all the add-ons for the final fantasy games
Thanks for explaining. I gave this game a 2 hour try and couldn't continue. And now I know the story is mostly garbage. Phew! Bullet dodged.
dam when you realize wakka went all hunter biden and married chapu's girl
I NEVER KNEW FFX HAD A HAPPY ENDING
