Final Fantasy X | Translation Analysis and Ultimania Secrets - Meeting the Al Bhed

Welcome to My Story: A Tale of Translation, a series dedicated to Final Fantasy X where we analyse the Japanese-English translation of the game and share some secrets from the Japanese Ultimania Omega. The aim, the goal, the purpose of the series is to dig even deeper into a game that continues to be played, discussed and celebrated more than twenty years after its release so that we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of it even further. So whether you're a hardcore fan of Final Fantasy X, someone who has an interest in game localization in general, or even if you're just here for the Japanese, I hope you will find something to your liking.
And if you do end up liking the video, please consider subscribing to the channel to support the project, and the creation of a variety of other interesting Final Fantasy content. But without further ado, it's time for a story.

I've really liked watching this video and the previous one. It's a great way to re-experience the story, supplemented with details and context. And terrible humor :D (Don't stop it though!) I also just loooove this game, it holds such a special place in my heart. Looking forward to the next one!

These translation videos will FOREVER be my favorite. I love how you also bring up information from the Ultimania, so I really get to learn things I never knew about one of my favorite games of all time.

I feel privileged I was recommended this series while it's in the making! The RUclips algorithm sometimes DOES work! (only sometimes, but hey credit where it's due). FFX has been my favorite game ever since it came out, and I've interacted with the community and heard a lot of Ultimania stuff over the years, but with this series I can get even more than that with all the nuances between translations scene by scene. Great work, looking forward to next episode already!

I have no idea how you don’t have more subscribers! Incredible content, this channel is exactly what I’ve been looking for

[@re2355]

I imagine so much work goes into these and they haven't received many views but I really hope you continue at some point, this is sooo fascinating!

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Thank you for the support. If the channel ever reaches the point where I don't have to work as much I would love to revisit this series.

[@TribalScience]

Another great one! I am enjoying the subtle differences in dialogue, as well as the Ultimania info bits.

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Thanks for watching! Glad I'm not the only one enjoying the subtle nuances! - Nökkvi

[@mollymillions6586]

I understand this must have taken a million years, but I'd love to see more like this sometime. Really insightful stuff!

[@yuuna_c]

Wow, what an amazing job. I love watching your videos because the quality is very high and every single word you tell is very interesting. The videos are also fully understandable è gen for me that I haven't English as my first language, as you can see. As an hardcore fan of ffx I'm really enjoying this serie. Thank you ❤

[@LifeIsHack]

I cant believe someone did a breakdown on this game's translation origin, and even corelate it to the ultimania information (which is new). This is a really informational and great way to re-experience the game. Premium content. Please continue this journey!😃

[@eduardomacena3848]

I love how these videos motivate me to study japanese. Keep going with these series because it's definetily awesome!
Now... I really wasn't expecting that critical hit in 2:34 and I loved it lol

[@cannedfrogg8471]

This series is shaping up to be an absolute must watch for any FFX fan! I can't wait for the next episodes!

[@PHazeBeats1]

That last video deserved more views .. i appreciate your time regardless!

[@BirdsOfPlay]

I appreciate my time being respected. Sometimes I feel like I could do a little bit more of that myself when I'm making videos that only a few people end up watching. But hopefully we'll be able to get more people on board! Thanks for watching! - Nökkvi

[@muselist]

These videos are so good! I wish you could do more.

[@iceclkeyheart3060]

Dang Shame this never got much attention would love the full game analyze like this

[@BirdsOfPlay]

I might have some more time next year to continue with this series. But yeah, it's a bit difficult to justify the work that goes into it when it doesn't get much attention. Still, it's not all about the views so hopefully I will return to this!

[@allan6992]

Just came across these videos. Such hard work! Would be great to have more but just happy to have two. It’s great when one comes across content that has seemingly been made specifically for them!

[@jean-marccolson8555]

Excellent work !

[@Makuro_XIII]

Thanks a lot for sharing this. I learned a lot of interesting stuffs as well in this new analysis.
And I think I never picked the Hi-Potion in my playthrough 😬.
PS : You should start a singing career ;-).

[@BirdsOfPlay]

This video is just one big excuse for me to sing. - Nökkvi
