❗Parasite Eve Playthrough Update: Encountered issues running disc 2 on my PS2 - I will be getting my hands on a PS1 very soon and intend to publish days 5/6 ASAP. On the bright side... I now get to experience the bootup sound/animation of a PS1 for the first time with yall❗
Woo, I'm excited! Just to be sure, I'll re-copy my informative X-2 comment on an earlier vid here: I've seen a few FFX-2 playthroughs and there are two things you need to be aware of that will highly enhance your playthrough. Me and many others have missed or messed up these things on their first playthrough so it's a friendly heads-up! 1) Avoid the main narrative (they're called Hotspots). Check out everything else first. You can easily get locked in the narrative (think of FFVII Rebirth's Fast Travel lock but more ruthless). You'll have to do this approach every time the FFX-2 story clears a narrative milestone. 2) There are two (cut)scenes that are interactive. You can press the Action button (the button you talk to people with) in those scenes multiple times, not just once. This is impossible to intuit in a blind first playthrough. Only hint I can give is that you will be on a flower plateau (and it's during a moment when there is no dialogue).
The opening credits of X-2 contains some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. The cut scene right after that is just wonderful. Combined, they make my favorite opening to any game, ever.
X-2 is good. You may have heard mixed things, which is fair. It isn't high stakes like X was: after all, Sin is already gone. But I've personally always found it cool to be able to see a sillier and more light hearted adventure for Yuna after what happened in X.
Nobuo Uematsu is a musical genius. Show me music that can invoke emotions like this. Hearing Yuna's theme song in the beginning instantly opens the flood gates of emotions and memories that are tied to it. Still hits so damn hard. FFX is a masterpiece that sticks with you for life. FFX2 doesn't have that same kinda power unfortunately.
I didn't love X-2 as much as part one for a few reasons but I absolutely love the characters and the world and coming back to that world is like a warm hug you didn't know you missed feeling. I hope that you will love it for everything it is even though it's so different.
@@XenoSamurai If It weren't for the fact that the bikini loincloth seems to be a common and popular style in Spira, I would have guessed that the goal would be to get people looking anywhere but her face to help the disguise. But I'm pretty certain Spiran's don't have the same relationship to clothes as many modern societies. So it really feels like Clark Kent taking off his glasses instead.
@@LC-sc3en Except Yuna was never one to dress like that and she also changed her hair style. But it's also not like she was trying to hide her self anyway, she wanted to change too.
Glad you’re going to try FFX-2 for yourself. It’s pretty upfront with how its tone is going to be so you should have an idea if it’s for you or not pretty early on.
That line about it being ok to want more works on a meta level as well since this was the first Final Fantasy to get a sequel. I think you'll really enjoy it. It's really different but that's not a bad thing. X had a sense of melancholy hanging over it which makes sense. X-2 is much more carefree but it's still got its serious side. Anyway, can't wait Maggie. Cheers.
I'm so glad this game touched another life. There's liking a game; then there's falling in love with the characters of the game. I can tell you belong to the latter by your emotional reactions. Sadly, this is a once in a lifetime experience, when you get to FEEL a story like this one. I hope you really enjoy X-2. Thanks for your playthru!
Ahhhhh! Firstly, thank you for watching this little short movie before playing X-2. It's got so may little nuggets of info on what's happening around Spira since the end of X and how are characters are doing. Yuna is such a graceful and eloquent person and honestly is one of my favourite Final Fantasy lady's of all time. In fact I named my cat after her, so I'm glad you love her so much
"and just like that, no time's past" Every time I play these games it feels that way. It's going to be really interesting to see what you think. The tone is pretty different from 10 - try not to wish that its going to be more of the same as 10... 10 is a masterpiece and my favourite game of all time. 10-2 is neither, but it is still an exciting, emotional story, with a whole bunch of great characters, stories and game mechanics. I hope you stick with it, and I'm looking forward to watching!
yesss so hyped for the X-2 playthrough, I think you'll love it, way more free-form in narrative but it's a great follow up that shows how different Spira can be without sin, the new factions and reforming without the gloom of death over everyone.
@MrMagoo-rg8er it doesnt disrespect anything it's a pretty logical follow up to what happens after sin is gone. the aesthetics/music choices thats polarizing I agree
@@MrMagoo-rg8er yes it literally is lol. they decided to make a follow up to X. there is no possible way to create a narrative with a threat like sin again or recapture that melanchploc narrative of the first so they went the other way and used it as a base to play with final fantasy formula up to that point. Spira is literally free of its biggest existential threat and the whole atmosphere is carefree so they made a game and mechanics to match that. I dont see how X-2 is some blasphemous disgrace or whatever to the original when it's going for something entirely different and Yuna is the MC now free from her summoner duties. you may find the writing or design choices cringe or corny but the base concept I don't think is that crazy . and Tidus and his decision at the end of X is directly acknowledged throughout X-2
My favorite piece of music from any Final Fantasy game is "eternity memory of lightwaves" hidden on this not too popular game. i hope you love it. it's on every one of my playlists.
I love the gameplay of FFX-2. I can't remember much of the story, though I had fun with it despite knowing it wasn't as great as X. Always found it funny that they call Wakka chubby but never bothered to give him a different model that doesn't have a six pack lol
Even the PS1 and PS2 graphics in comparison with nowadays games, they kinda have something special in them that make those old games comfy to play and watch 😊❤
I never got to see this before playing X-2. Thank you for sharing it with us. Can't wait to see your playthrough of X-2. I still have my copies of X and X-2 and cherish them both.
Back when it first came out, I was not able to appreciate FFX-2 and, spurred on by other less enthusiastic opinions, never gave it another chance. When the remaster and eternal calm came out, I decided to give it another try.. some time.. surely.. fast forward to now, I'm really excited to watch your playthrough and maybe that will finally motivate me enough to play it myself :D (I do know how it ends, couldn't help myself since I do love the story) Enjoy the ride!
My biggest pet peeve with X-2: Some comments are made about certain characters' appearances (like Wakka here being chubby) but the character models are recycled 1:1 from FFX with no change...so I guess we just have to imagine Wakka let himself go despite visuals showing the contrary or alternatively everybody in Spira has insanely toxic body standards because if that man is chubby then I am Jabba the Hutt.
Happy new year Kasta!! Good to see you back in the Final Fantasy realm! Looking forward to seeing you enjoy X-2 and reminiscing about my time with it! 😊
It's so awesome to see you appreciating the music, and your reaction/thoughts to the stories of Final Fantasy 😃!! I wholeheartedly agree with how you felt about Yuna; she was the glue that held the FFX team together, and now she gets the spotlight she so rightly deserves! You're passion for these is so heart-warming to watch 😊! You are not only a phenomenal contributor of the Final Fantasy community, but you also have the joyous-uplifting spirit that makes the community feel like a paradise✌😃! Speaking of Final Fantasy...I think I recall that you are making your way backwards with the mainline FF games and got the backlog to last until 2027 probs haha, but do ya think you'll explore some of the spin-off titles as well (World of Final Fantasy, Type 0, Stranger of Paradise)?
I been watching your FFX playthru and love seeing you explore this game I've loved since playing it as a kid (2003 lol) so I'm really excited to see u play thru ffx-2. :)
I've totally forgotten about Eternal Calm, so my first reaction was "WHAT?"... This was a fun surprise! Also, how happy was your dear editor when he learned this video would be less than 20 minutes? 😄
SO MUCH YES!!!! I'm soooo happy you are playing X-2!!! When it came out I thought it was awesome to have a sequel to, IMO, the best FF game. Yes I will always love 7 and am happy for remake, rebirth, and soon to be part 3... BUT... FFX is and will always be my fav. I tried playing X-2 but personally just couldn't get into the "mechanics" of the game play so now I will FINALLY see the story as I watch you play
X-2 is a very different direction but I think you'll find it lots of fun and a very fresh approach. Also, you'll learn more about classes which will be good knowledge that will carry over to other FF games.
WOOOOOOH!!! I'm BEYOND excited! I know you'll love X-2. Your open mind and open heart has proven so multiple times! I wish you the best of luck Lady Kasta!
Just know ffx-2 is a game that many of the story elements are optional. If you only do missions it says you’ll miss a lot of story and stuff. Every chapter, please visit every area not marked main mission first, going by difficulty on area select screen. Each area has new things happening every chapter change. Advancing story missions, which could complete chapter, lock you out of chapter 1 stuff, ect. So many good stuff can be missed, so please consider visiting every area every chapter.
Yes, exactly, I hope she follows this advice! ❤ (This isn't a spoiler) take your time to explore each location, even if the game leads you towards the main missions. Leave those for last!
FFX-2! Let's goo! Now, this will be very different from FFX. Instead of holding your hand through a linear story, you will need to discover the story through "episodes" that you have to complete. The more you manage to complete and discover, the better the ending you will get (there are multiple of them). Some people will tell you that you need a guide to make sure you get the best ending. I disagree. I say play it the way you want to play it, for yourself. Whatever ending you end up with, you can always watch and react to the other endings on RUclips once you finish the game.
one way to describe ffx-2 is if you took the very small amount of silly moments in ffx and stretch them into a whole game. it's not really linear but it does a good job of guiding you to make your own adventure
I bought X-2 on day one when it came out back when I was a teen and I loved it so much, I cannot wait to see you experience Yuna's fun and exciting adventure!
Im so happy you are doing x-2. I love X and your playthrough of it. X-2, like many, i have a love hate relationship with it but it is a fun time and i believe youll enjoy it. I personally dont really like what they do with the story but i just take it as it is. I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Its definitely.. different 😂
Oh, I'm excited for you checcking out FF X-2. Although it's not my favourite FF, I really like it and it's the first and only FF I ever achieved the 100%. I wish you lots of fun playing through this quite different but still very wonderful game!
Ah Maggie i cant wait for you to get onto x-2, but im secretly even more excited about when you get to IX. Also you really look like a younger eliza dushku in this intro.
Can't wait for your X-2 videos. Even if I always saw it more as a little side game with a fun combat system and mini games galore than as a full worthy FF title, I still had a lot of fun with it, and I believe you will too.
X-2 is a lot of fun. It is different, and I think I was too harsh on it in my first playthrough because of how much I loved X and the less serious tone of X-2, but I replayed it a couple of years ago, got over myself and it was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy!
Another great video Maggie, I’m playing the remastered version of FF10 and I’ve seen Eternal Calm on the menu screen, but I didn’t know what it was and certainly didn’t know it was a movie, so I learnt something this morning😂. Great reaction Maggie, can’t wait for the the gameplay of X2👍.
The FFX mini-saga is one of the easiest things to make me emotional in the world. I'm glad to see that it's also like that for you despite having played it “late”. There are stories that are timeless.
I know you said X-2 will come in the new year, but didnt expect it THIS fast. I remember buying X-2 back in the day, playing it for less than an hour and then selling it again. I came back many years later and made my peace with it. There is a lot of good stuff in the game, it does feel very different to X though.
No Spoiler. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, When you play FFx-2 when you get to chapter 3, talk to Maechen, to get a side quest, do it. Then when you return to the farplane mash X and whistle, whistle, whistle and whistle some more. You will glad you did. remember WHISTLE! Your heart will thank us.
@@DandelionandBardock being that specific is a crazy big spoiler for someone like her who theorizes a lot about where a narrative is going. Better to just be as vague as possible, and worst case scenario she usually has a lot of save files and can go back.
I really cannot wait. Nothing will top X but I really enjoyed X-2! It gave me at least some resolution for the emotions that were left with me at the end of X. AND: I'm holding my breath for your reaction to the opening scene because: wow!
I know there is a lot of people out there who are not huge fans of X-2 and feel like they should have left it where X ended. But X2 is one of my all time favorites. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Yeah, I knew about the first 30 seconds or so, but I've never seen this before. That was a great segue into 2. Maybe I would've enjoyed and followed through with X-2 more so had I seen this. 🙏🏾
25 Minutes later. since this was posted. your reactions on this video. you make it fun to watch. your fans really enjoy all your videos, live videos. i should start watching. been awhile since i did. maybe on the first time i sub you and i seen them. idk what was your first video i watched
Very excited for ff X-2! It's a very different sort of game to the first one, and while X is my favourite, X-2 is cool in its own way and has unique strengths.
The initial reaction of X-2 will be interesting 🙂 I almost forgot you played X on the PS2 so yeah, the graphics look way better (mostly) in the remaster.
Heya Kasta. Ive never seen this myself, so Im watching it for the first time after far too many years, to bridge the gap between the two Xs. I'm not a fan of X-2, myself, never really have been, its radically different from X and unlike the original, it divided the fanbase; not...drastically, but you'll understand. But, I did give it a chance back in the day, I'm pretty sure I made it to or past the halfway point, but I wont spoil anything. Even if I wanted to, my memory of the game's too foggy. When you do check out X-2, you might inspire me to pick it up again; like you did with X. Or, I might just get cozy and watch your thoughts and reactions instead. You might end up genuinely loving X-2, who knows; but one thing's for sure, we'll all see. Thanks for this
Get ready for a new combat system. It's going to be more active than FFX, so ready for that. Also, I would suggest switching to the Remastered version of the soundtrack, I think works better for FFX-2 music. Anyway, congrats on getting to FFX-2, can't wait.
❗Parasite Eve Playthrough Update: Encountered issues running disc 2 on my PS2 - I will be getting my hands on a PS1 very soon and intend to publish days 5/6 ASAP. On the bright side... I now get to experience the bootup sound/animation of a PS1 for the first time with yall❗
Ps1 boot up always gives me goosebumps..bump up the volume before u start it! Lol
awesome also cant wait for FFX-2 too.
I was just about to ask, thank you for the update
No worries, all good Maggie👍. Awesome video by the way.
I guess you haven't booted up your PS5 in a while to get that update?🤭
FF X-2 is coming finally!! it's showtime guys ;)
YRP IN POSITION! IT'S SHOWTIME ****! \o/
Woo, I'm excited! Just to be sure, I'll re-copy my informative X-2 comment on an earlier vid here:

Great advices! FFX-2 is a bit more open compare to FFX and it’s easy to miss important events.
The opening credits of X-2 contains some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. The cut scene right after that is just wonderful. Combined, they make my favorite opening to any game, ever.
And then the game sucks so hard I even forgot how hype the opening was
It's definitely a PITA in some places. But I personally don't think it sucks.
@@SteveFrank111 are you talking about eternity memory of lightwaves? if so you are right. absolute beauty of a song.
@@tallicaftw_youtubeyes I am. I'll just put it on in the background sometimes.
right?, i would boot the game just to watch the opening when i was a kid
X-2 is good. You may have heard mixed things, which is fair. It isn't high stakes like X was: after all, Sin is already gone. But I've personally always found it cool to be able to see a sillier and more light hearted adventure for Yuna after what happened in X.

Rikku: "Hey, you really need a disguise, Yuna. How about wearing less clothing? That'll fool 'em."
i mean honestly it probably would fool most people in Spira lol.
@@XenoSamurai If It weren't for the fact that the bikini loincloth seems to be a common and popular style in Spira, I would have guessed that the goal would be to get people looking anywhere but her face to help the disguise. But I'm pretty certain Spiran's don't have the same relationship to clothes as many modern societies. So it really feels like Clark Kent taking off his glasses instead.

"Charlie's Angels meets Tomb Raider" is a way I've heard it described.
That line about it being ok to want more works on a meta level as well since this was the first Final Fantasy to get a sequel. I think you'll really enjoy it.

FFIV : After years ?
@@loutassmafe FFIV After Years came out in 2008 which is after X-2
I missed these videos! I can’t wait for you too experience X-2, I think you’re going to love it.
I played Final Fantasy X the Christmas of 2001 when it first released in America. I have never even known this Eternal calm video existed.
It was part of the international release. X-2 had its own exclusive content that never made it to the west.
The Eternal Calm was released here in North America before FFX-2 released. It was a part of a demo disc. I have it.
@@princessmagical Oh ok. I'd seen a video about international content before the remaster released and thought that it was exclusive to it. My bad :D

omg its happening!!! Happy new year! So ready to be back in the world of Spira!
The story of X-2 is drastically different from X, and it may not be as good, but I still think it's a very good game. I hope you enjoy it.
Hearing Nooj will be a real joy. He has the same voice actor Sephiroth had for a long time.

I wish you lots of fun playing through this quite different but still very wonderful game!
Ah Maggie i cant wait for you to get onto x-2, but im secretly even more excited about when you get to IX. Also you really look like a younger eliza dushku in this intro.
Felt that this video was specially for me! I needed that, thank you! ♥
Can't wait for your X-2 videos. Even if I always saw it more as a little side game with a fun combat system and mini games galore than as a full worthy FF title, I still had a lot of fun with it, and I believe you will too.
These lets plays lately! They have been giving me life and its everything!
oh wow. i didnt know they made it into a cinematic on the current gen remaster! It was just an audio with minimal graphics originally.
X-2 is a lot of fun. It is different, and I think I was too harsh on it in my first playthrough because of how much I loved X and the less serious tone of X-2, but I replayed it a couple of years ago, got over myself and it was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy!
Kasta is cutting up the onions here. I’m not teary eyed, you are 😭
I'm so excited for whats to come in 2025 for this channel, and it's the perfect beginning with X-2, letsgoooooooo!
Another great video Maggie, I’m playing the remastered version of FF10 and I’ve seen Eternal Calm on the menu screen, but I didn’t know what it was and certainly didn’t know it was a movie, so I learnt something this morning😂. Great reaction Maggie, can’t wait for the the gameplay of X2👍.
So ready for this playthrough. Y,R,P in position!
The FFX mini-saga is one of the easiest things to make me emotional in the world.
I'm glad to see that it's also like that for you despite having played it “late”.
There are stories that are timeless.
I know you said X-2 will come in the new year, but didnt expect it THIS fast.
I remember buying X-2 back in the day, playing it for less than an hour and then selling it again. I came back many years later and made my peace with it. There is a lot of good stuff in the game, it does feel very different to X though.
Here we go!. Cant wait for you to finish the journey of FFX's story.
Looking forward to this playthrough. Should be a blast!
2:51 crying with you here
I'm excited for the FFX-2 playthrough 🥰
No Spoiler. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, When you play FFx-2 when you get to chapter 3, talk to Maechen, to get a side quest, do it. Then when you return to the farplane mash X and whistle, whistle, whistle and whistle some more. You will glad you did. remember WHISTLE! Your heart will thank us.
That's a spoiler, she plays these blind.
@LeeH1989 not a spoiler just saying whistle, so she doesn't miss it.
Thats a spoiler
@@DandelionandBardock being that specific is a crazy big spoiler for someone like her who theorizes a lot about where a narrative is going. Better to just be as vague as possible, and worst case scenario she usually has a lot of save files and can go back.
@@YnEoS10 fair enough
It's been not that long but this already feel like coming home after a long time
Just wait til you see Lulu talking about the baby kicking 😂😂😂
i'm so ready! i bet you're going to love it!
I'm happy you're back to FFX.
Why does my marriage bring others peace? Good question, Kas!
We’re back!!
I really cannot wait. Nothing will top X but I really enjoyed X-2! It gave me at least some resolution for the emotions that were left with me at the end of X. AND: I'm holding my breath for your reaction to the opening scene because: wow!
Another amazing playthrough Kastaclysm ❤❤😁😁.
Really do hope you enjoy X-2. It's got a lot going for it that I think you might enjoy, especially the job system.
I know there is a lot of people out there who are not huge fans of X-2 and feel like they should have left it where X ended. But X2 is one of my all time favorites. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Yeah, I knew about the first 30 seconds or so, but I've never seen this before. That was a great segue into 2. Maybe I would've enjoyed and followed through with X-2 more so had I seen this. 🙏🏾
FFX-2 is a delight if you go into it with no expectations.
25 Minutes later. since this was posted. your reactions on this video. you make it fun to watch. your fans really enjoy all your videos, live videos. i should start watching. been awhile since i did. maybe on the first time i sub you and i seen them. idk what was your first video i watched
Very excited for ff X-2! It's a very different sort of game to the first one, and while X is my favourite, X-2 is cool in its own way and has unique strengths.
The initial reaction of X-2 will be interesting 🙂 I almost forgot you played X on the PS2 so yeah, the graphics look way better (mostly) in the remaster.
This is why I love maggies channel ❤
Can’t wait for you to watch X-2 especially the intro
I highly highly recommend a guide book for x-2. So you can experience everything. I'm so excited and happy for you
You will LOVE Final fantasy x-2!!!!!!
cant wait to see your reaction to ffx-2 opening scene
I met someone on the bus with eyes like that in el monte i used to take the 170 from norwalk to elmonte
LETS GO!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Heya Kasta. Ive never seen this myself, so Im watching it for the first time after far too many years, to bridge the gap between the two Xs. I'm not a fan of X-2, myself, never really have been, its radically different from X and unlike the original, it divided the fanbase; not...drastically, but you'll understand. But, I did give it a chance back in the day, I'm pretty sure I made it to or past the halfway point, but I wont spoil anything. Even if I wanted to, my memory of the game's too foggy. When you do check out X-2, you might inspire me to pick it up again; like you did with X. Or, I might just get cozy and watch your thoughts and reactions instead. You might end up genuinely loving X-2, who knows; but one thing's for sure, we'll all see. Thanks for this
X-2 is very different than the first game.
Thats cool they did a lead up story to X-2 and the sphere teaser
Get ready for a new combat system. It's going to be more active than FFX, so ready for that. Also, I would suggest switching to the Remastered version of the soundtrack, I think works better for FFX-2 music. Anyway, congrats on getting to FFX-2, can't wait.
so excited!!! Have fun!
I'm soooooo ready for FFX-2 :D
