    Final Fantasy X featured plenty of innovation when it launched on the PlayStation 2. It had fantastic FMV sequences, much improve graphics and for the first time in a Final Fantasy experience, voice acting.
    Unlike Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Squaresoft decided to cast voice over professionals, as opposed to Hollywood A-Listers, some of which were still quite early on in their careers. But what happened to their careers after Final Fantasy X? Well, within this video we're going to take a look at roles they landed in the years that followed.
    ►ACTORS FEATURED WITHIN THIS VIDEO
    1. James Arnold Taylor (Tidus)
    2. Hedy Burress (Yuna)
    3. Matt McKenzie (Auron)
    4. John DiMaggio (Wakka/Kimahri)
    5. Paula Tiso (Lulu)
    6. Tara Strong (Rikku)
    7. Alex Fernandez (Seymour)
    8. Gregg Berger (Jecht)

    The laugh scene was made to be akward because it wasn’t a “real” laugh in the context of the scene and what was happening. But most of the pople took it the wrong way.

    Hands down still the best Final fantasy. They put everything into it. Great actors, super powerful soundtrack, ambitious story dealing with themes of religion, honor and finding your place. The other games are great too but something about this cast is just legendary...Great vid!

    • @Goldschlager
      @Goldschlager 3 года назад

      Agree. I always judge other FFs to FFX in terms of a full package Final Fantasy game experience. Call me a hopeless romantic, but the romance in FFX was my favorite part of the story. Many other FFs just lacked in the romance department. I would consider FFXII up there with FFX but it was devoid of romance so it just doesn't compare.
      I still have the FFXIII trilogy and FFXV to try out to see where they stand to FFX but I am not too optimistic.

    I actually met James Arnold Taylor during NY ComicCon of this year and he is the absolute nicest person. What I loved about my interaction with him is that during the event, I was cosplaying as Tidus and he had this feeling that he knew I was such a huge fan of the character since I was trying my best not to cry and had my PS4 copy of the game, that he gave me a hug and we chat for a few minutes about the game and record a video where he did a few quotes and both of us doing the Tidus laugh. He was so amazing to the point where he posted a picture of the two of us on his Instagram page and I was such in joy. It’s amazing how at 50 years, he still has the ability to voice a 17 year old protagonist and as someone who is called by others as the biggest “mark” for the character and both games, he is truly one of the best people you can meet and can give you advice about life.

    Thank you for this video! I am a huge FFX fan, but I never knew Wakka and Kimahri had the same voice actor! And I didn't recognize him at all in Disenchantment!! John DiMaggio... What a talent!
    I forgot to mention, that in my opinion (and those of my friends who also played FFX), Seymour's voice always seemed out of place in comparison to the others. But yeah, tastes differ.

    FFX Is one of my favorite Final Fantasy games, and was the first time ever playing a final fantasy game. having missed out on VII, VIII, And IX. As a kid. I had a hard time getting past some of the parts. I didn't know how to grind and use the sphere grid correctly. Now that I am grown up. It's one of my favorite games of all time, but is also one of my favorite Final Fantasy Games. As an introduction to the series. it's the perfect introduction. Tara Strong is one of the actresses I recognized during the game having grown up with the Batman Animated Series. First time I heard Rikku go "YAHOO!" I was like "IS THAT HARLEY QUINN!?!" and also as a kid... I could not stop staring at Lulus uuuh.. Chest.... I was like 12 when this game came out 11 or 12 one of the two. And was just starting to mature.. BUT EVERYTIME! ... Now that I am 29... and replaying through the game.. I am noticing her uuh outfit looks like it's ready to just slide off. She is probably one of the more attractive characters in the series. Up there with Tifa, Aerith, Garnet, and Rinoa. I am currently playing through the series again. Starting with X. Then deciding if I wanna go to IX, VIII, or play one that I've already played such as VII. All I know is. I have a lot of good memories with Final Fantasy X. Maybe someday we will get X-3. But part of me hopes it doesn't happen.
