In Yuna's sphere, she says that Kimahri received the wishes of a man facing death...the wish to look after the daughter of Braska. Auron really is a true friend cause he devoted himself to look after Tidus and Yuna, the children of his two best friends.
@@SlobDooku The memory ends with Jecht pressed up against Auron telling him how much of a stiff he was. I've always taken that to imply they were hugging. You had to imply a lot of in game cutscenes back in the day.
it's so fucking sad, I'll never forget the impact the characters and the world this game had on me. It's definitely has a cast loyalty that I've never seen before.
i always cry at the end of FFX. im 31 and i still cry like a baby. this game makes you soooooo heavily invested and feels like you are actually in the game. when Yuna has to let him go... ahhh heart break... cant let her gooooo
The Auron of the past being much more rigid in his beliefs compared to his visibly more open present self was one of the big mysteries of his character, perhaps even moreso than how he is aware of Tidus' circumstances. The payoff really goes to show that your faith and values collapsing in on you can be devastating, but it can also set you free.
Man..... Final Fantasy 7 Will aways be my favourite, but 10 will always be the deepest. Everything from Tidus hating Jecht to learning the Spira's religion is an existential lie is amazing. Beautifully overwhelming. 10 might be the best Narratively speaking
I know this video is more about Auron, but I wanna say, I really like Jecht. He's an ass, sure, and he's not father of the year or anything, but out of the two parents Tidus had, Jecht was the one who paid attention to him and thought about him. Earlier in the game, Tidus explained that he started to resent Jecht for hogging all the attention from his mother, but while the mother wouldn't even look at Tidus, Jecht did and told the mother to go give him some attention. Even in that moment, Jecht thought about Tidus. Part me of wonders if Jecht knew, or at least had a feeling, that Tidus's mother was not going to be able to take care of him due to losing Jecht, and maybe that's why he asked Auron to look after Tidus, since the mother wasn't going to do it. I also love that in Jecht's spheres and in one of the memories where Jecht volunteers to become the final aeon, he talked about wanting to see his son become a blitzball star. So yeah, I loved that despite being an ass who has made his son cry on multiple occasions, he loved his son and always thought about him while the mother was quite neglectful of Tidus. As for Auron, I kinda wonder what his days of being Tidus's parental guardian were like. Like he already knew from Jecht that Tidus was into blitzball, so I wondered if Auron contributed in any way to building Tidus's passion for blitzball. Anyway, loved this game. Might play it again in the future.
In one of Tidus' dreams it has Auron coming by getting on his case letting him know his team lost because of him. Not sure if that was a memory he was reliving but from how they interacted throughout the game Auron always seemed to be trying to give Tidus nothing but the best advice he could to better him.
I think they're still pretty good compared to most games devs put out these days. But nothing will beat X for me even if people are out there who say it sucks, lol.
I like how Auron kind of adopted Jecht's personality and loosened up. He was a strict monk like character, but all those years after you can tell Jecht rubbed off on him a little.
2:47 always makes me laugh and im not sure why. Maybe its the fact that he awkwardly just runs into the camera. What makes it even funnier is how it fades out, which has its own set of implications lmao
Marv he said yunslesca didn’t kill him in Zanarkand he said he “scratched and clawed “ his way down Mt Gagazet and later died in Bevelle from his wounds
@@marv9906 Yeah I consider that to be a plot hole. Able bodied warriors met their end in the path between Bevelle and The Dome. No way a defenseless man crawling gets through these areas alive.
When jecht says "thanks auron, you *were* always such a stiff But thats what i *liked* about you" Key words "were" "liked" does tgat mean they were dead and are unsent and jecht is asking auron to go to zanarkand? There are pyerflies around braska and jecht too so they must be dead after the fight yes?
I think they were still alive because Braska is standing there. I think they just already decided Jecht would be the final aeon so they already accepted he was gonna die. So hes talking in past tense cos he has accepted his fate.
And ironically, Haley Joel Osment would voice one of his allies in a spinoff. Forget seeing dead people, making tornadoes with dead people is where it's at.
This is really sweet and poignant, but what the hell was that at the end? XD Did Jecht just body slam Auron, why did he smack into the camera? Why does it look like a video camera was used to record this?
Both Jecth and Tidus were dreams that got out of the dream Zanarkand. See it as a mini world running in parallel with Spira. When Jetch made his trip to train he got out of Zanarkand accidentally by getting in contact with Sin. That is how he met Auron and Braska. After Auron died he got inside the dream world when Sin was reborn to take care of Tidus and that is why Tidus knew him even before the beginning of the game.
@Mr. S I played it 20 years ago when I was about 12, but story was too complicated for me. I finished the game but couldn't understand about tidus and his family
Both Tidus and Jecht are dreams from Dream Zanarkand, which is the reason of why Sin exists and does what it does, it protects it from the outside world by keeping the latter in a primitive state regarding technology, and destroying any city that is larger than a settlement. The Fayth in mount Gagazet is what summons this Dream Zanarkand.
@@Pfizer980 A bit late but to further clarify Dream Zanarkand and everyone inside it (including Jecht and Tidus) are "dreams" in the same way summons and Sin are. They physically exist because basically they're being summoned by the Fayth dreaming. No time travel actually happened, Tidus and Auron both just hitched rides on Sin (due to Jecht's influence) between Dream Zanarkand and the rest of the world.
auron's appearance in itself is bad writing imo. Auron died when he was young, yet he's visibly much older here, and even if dead people still age, if I remember correctly the ffx booklet has auron at 35yrs old. thats still very young under normal circumstances, yet he looks like he's pushing 50.
Stress and combat situations tend to age your body, its not hard for soldiers to look in their 40s while in their 20s due to something severely traumatic. it's all in how one tends to express themselves, a cheerful individual will look his age or younger than the person that scowls or looks gloomy all the time. However, i think you have a point on this because that pertains to the living, not the dead.. though i would expect that he might have some ability to change his appearance.. or that since Tidus' Zanarkand is a dream made from the fayth and in essence is now similar to the Farplane but not, Auron was able to age as it seems to be an alternate dimension where human souls are created without the need of an individual corporeal shell (individual as in for every soul each needing an individual body to exist, Sin and Yu Yevon fill the requirement for the corporeal body to tether themselves to the material plane), but this is me throwing out possibilities for why such an annoying plot hole exists.
Unsent age, the guy who responded to you made a good point before rambling off into bullshit land. Unsent are dead, but have to deal with all the aspects of being alive, I don't see anyone complaining that when he dies in battle its a death and that would make him super dead.
Bad writing...? You are way overthinking this man lol. Auron being eternally youthful would have been a huge red flag spoiling all of the mystery they built up about him, not to mention it would just be fucking awkward. People these days are so obsessed with minute to minute plot details of everything they consume that their brains can't even muster a single insightful though about the themes and message a story conveys, it's pathetic. Picking apart great stories and finding 'PlOtHoLeS" doesn't make anyone think you are some sort of fucking literary genius
In Yuna's sphere, she says that Kimahri received the wishes of a man facing death...the wish to look after the daughter of Braska.
Auron really is a true friend cause he devoted himself to look after Tidus and Yuna, the children of his two best friends.
One of the reasons he is my favorite unit from the game.
@Sam Eden 😈
On top of that, even death couldn't stop him from keeping those promises.
Kimahri knew and kept a secret
Imagine what it would've been like if Auron had children.
I just realized jecht hugged auron at the end of that. I’m so happy he did that
I don't think he hugged Auron I think he was just ending the recording
@@SlobDooku The memory ends with Jecht pressed up against Auron telling him how much of a stiff he was. I've always taken that to imply they were hugging. You had to imply a lot of in game cutscenes back in the day.
@@SlobDookuAuron was using the pyreflies to show his memories.
After admitting he's an unsent after you kill ultima and omega weapon he says "leave spira to the living"
it's so fucking sad, I'll never forget the impact the characters and the world this game had on me. It's definitely has a cast loyalty that I've never seen before.
agree. Final Fantasy XV intended bromance was a joke in comparison unfortunately.
@@Snakumaru I think it's because the wishes of the dead have more of an impact than that of the living.
i always cry at the end of FFX. im 31 and i still cry like a baby. this game makes you soooooo heavily invested and feels like you are actually in the game. when Yuna has to let him go... ahhh heart break... cant let her gooooo
@@sushlesaw
The legacy of Auron.
sepherothVII I will join you in agreement.

God... This game is so wondefully directed it is truly a work of art
The original “He may have been your father boy, but he wasn’t your daddy.”
I was LITERALLY thinking this to myself LMAO
Auron walked so Yondu could run
the cries of souls or whatever sound that is in the background is crazy
Oh, I love that man so much... 😭😭💖
Man..... Final Fantasy 7 Will aways be my favourite, but 10 will always be the deepest. Everything from Tidus hating Jecht to learning the Spira's religion is an existential lie is amazing. Beautifully overwhelming. 10 might be the best Narratively speaking
This story has the same effect the nier games had on me and that’s hard to find really good story
Final fantasy hasn’t been the same since
This really got me tearful the first time I played it. Auron is one of my favorite characters alongside Yuna and Tidus! They're my favorite team.
I know this video is more about Auron, but I wanna say, I really like Jecht. He's an ass, sure, and he's not father of the year or anything, but out of the two parents Tidus had, Jecht was the one who paid attention to him and thought about him.

thats actually a good point, i never thought of that regarding jecht worried that his wife wouldnt be able to take care of tidus

Not sure if that was a memory he was reliving but from how they interacted throughout the game Auron always seemed to be trying to give Tidus nothing but the best advice he could to better him.
"Where there's a will, there's a way"
Auron was a good man
"That is why."
This really upset me as a kid, Auron was my favourite character
Don't make that face being dead has it's advantages.
Seymour hinted at him being dead during the first battle saying he didn’t like his scent
Promise and sacrifice, Auron was definition of those words.
That is why.
Guards him with his unlife\afterlife.
Remember when square made good final fantasy games...
I think they're still pretty good compared to most games devs put out these days. But nothing will beat X for me even if people are out there who say it sucks, lol.
we do, before enix
they are still doing good job now
Man 6-10 had the best fictional stories of ANY game/movie/book/tv series I have ever watched/read/played
They still do and are
I like how Auron kind of adopted Jecht's personality and loosened up. He was a strict monk like character, but all those years after you can tell Jecht rubbed off on him a little.
I'd say both Braska and Jecht rubbed off on him.
This scene is epic ...n this game solely should of been a movie frfr
Best godfather ever.
2:47 always makes me laugh and im not sure why. Maybe its the fact that he awkwardly just runs into the camera.
What makes it even funnier is how it fades out, which has its own set of implications lmao
Auron : I will protect your son, I give you my word !
Litteraly 2 weeks later
Auron : YUnAlesCA You WiLl pAy ThaT !
Get one shot
But that’s what allows him to keep his promise
Auren being an Unsent literally made him able to ride Jecht Sin and Enter Dream Zanarkand actually.
Being dead had its advantages
Auron: "Weimas"
Tidus: "What??"
Lmfao
When Final Fantasy’s story telling was actually good.
So is anyone kot going to point out how auron got to bevelle? Maybe he just used teleport at the save point
Marv he said yunslesca didn’t kill him in Zanarkand he said he “scratched and clawed “ his way down Mt Gagazet and later died in Bevelle from his wounds
@@Meowmeow0506 he would of been killed by the fiends long before he reached bevelle. The enemies in zanarkand ruins do not fuck around
He made it to an albhed merchant who took care of him until he left, it's on the wiki and the shop keep mentions it in game.
@@TheBahamutablethat was Rin he has those shops everywhere
@@marv9906 Yeah I consider that to be a plot hole. Able bodied warriors met their end in the path between Bevelle and The Dome. No way a defenseless man crawling gets through these areas alive.
Tidus reminds me of sora
That's fair but I think you should give a look again to the people who were on the island kh1
Todo bien, todo correcto... Y yo que me alegro
Braska looks super sad I'm my opinion
When jecht says "thanks auron, you *were* always such a stiff
But thats what i *liked* about you"
Key words "were" "liked" does tgat mean they were dead and are unsent and jecht is asking auron to go to zanarkand?
There are pyerflies around braska and jecht too so they must be dead after the fight yes?
Then Auron comes to the farplane with Jecht and ask for his child support money
I think they were still alive because Braska is standing there. I think they just already decided Jecht would be the final aeon so they already accepted he was gonna die. So hes talking in past tense cos he has accepted his fate.
Pyreflies recreate memories. Nah they weren't dead yet.
he legit just explained that he died coming back after jecht and braska died
Auron always taked care of tidus, since the beginning
After this scene, they should make item phoenix down and magic life kill him instantly as he was an undead🙂🙃
Is an unsent, not undead
sixth sense TWIST PLOT!
And ironically, Haley Joel Osment would voice one of his allies in a spinoff. Forget seeing dead people, making tornadoes with dead people is where it's at.
This is really sweet and poignant, but what the hell was that at the end? XD Did Jecht just body slam Auron, why did he smack into the camera? Why does it look like a video camera was used to record this?
I think Jecht was supposed to be hugging him at the end there
i like to think they were bro hugging
Jecht hugged him and the camera acted like Auron's first-person view, resulting in that awkward-looking hug.
@@EyeStorrm Ohhh, okay thanks
maybe they originally were going to use it as a jecht sphere recording and decided to change it to Aurons memory?
But tidus is a dream right? Or is he real? Son of jecht? I dont understand can somebody explain?
Both Jecth and Tidus were dreams that got out of the dream Zanarkand. See it as a mini world running in parallel with Spira.
