Yeah, this song specifically is a song that the spirit of that one girl in the scene gave to the other girl in the scene to sing as an ode to the man she loved that was shot along with her through the clothes that they were both wearing😅 it’s super Duper sad and very underrated💔
we feed off your tears. you will continue to watch sad things forever.
Well, this is a pleasant surprise, I thought no one loved FFX-2 (this is not FFX) enough to suggest "1000 Words". Yes, it's a cutscene + insert song. For context, the singing character with short hair is Yuna, Yuna was the co-protagonist in FFX, where she lost a certain blond much-more-than-friend. In FFX-2 (direct sequel of FFX) she dons the songstress dressphere (in the game dresspheres are part dressup part character class, as black mage, white mage and so on) inhabited by the conscience of an ancient songstress, Lenne (long hair singer), who loved a similar (but not the same) blond young man, so Yuna resonated with the feelings embedded in Lenne's dressphere when she chose to make a concert to stop the infighting between the three factions. The scene that is shown is the tragic past of the couple Lenne and Shuyin (the other blondie) when they tried to stop a superweapon during an ancient war. So yes, it happened but thousands of years before Yuna's timeline.
@@gio87vr Shuyin was the real person that Tidus was the projection of
@@brieezy. TMI, I was trying to not spoil all the surprises of FFX.
Shortest answer: Yuna, the main character with the shorter hair, is channeling the spirit of Lenne, the long haired singer who died ages ago.
summoner bs.
Oh, okay! 🤔🤔
This is a cutscene of Final Fantasy X-2. The game was released in 2003 and the main character name is Yuna. She's the one singing in the top of the airship. The english version vocals belong to Jade Villaon, from the german pop group Sweetbox, while the japanese version vocals belong to the singer Koda Kumi.
Oh thank you!! 🙏
Amazing comment. So much helpful info without spoiling anything, in case he wants to actually play the game.
Man, if every commenter was like you, RUclips would be paradise.
Love Koda Kumi's better.
Yes, it's actually a cut scene. The short-haired girl wanted to give a concert and she's standing on their airship. She channels the spirit of the long-haired girl, another singer, and then a vision appears from when the spirit's life ended, 1,000 years earlier. The man she's with, her beloved, and the circumstances around her death are integral to the story, but not the particular scene that you're watching. This is what the Final Fantasy games are known for, fantastic visuals in the cut scenes, and epic stories. There's nearly always a bit of mystery and an antagonist that threatens the entire world , too. It's possible to find videos that just show the cut scenes, if you're interested. The cut scenes alone don't always tell the entire story, though. One other thing about this cut scene. The singer, her friends, and the audience are all at a place called the Thunder Plains. It is always overcast, with a perpetual storm. It has never been known to have clear skies, so that's why everyone was so shocked when the clouds parted at the end of the song.
To Zanarkand from Final Fantasy X won the twitch poll Luke. We just tagged 1000 Words from FFX-2 to react along with it!
Yup
this
God To Zanarkand is such an emotional song.
No worries, Luke confirmed on twitch To Zanarkand is coming too!
He said on twitch that the zanarkand is coming seperately. We apparently voted for both.
So, one of the HUGE things with the location this song is performed in-game is that it's known as the Thunder Plains because it's been a nonstop thunderstorm for hundreds, if not a thousand, years.
And then, during this song, the sky clears. The eternal storm ends. For a short while, anyways. I got chills when I first saw it happen.
FFX-2 is a follow up to FFX.
The main character of FFX-2 is Yuna, who was the female main character of FFX; The character who is singing is Yuna.
Yuna was a summoner in FFX, and prior to the events of FFX, being the "High Summoner" meant you would surely die when you summoned the "Final Aeon"(final Aeon would defeat the big bad and kill you as well)
The Long-haired Girl singing is named Lenne, who was a summoner from the distant past as well as a well known "Songstress", the reason you see her during the song is Yuna is using Lenne's Memories as a "Dressphere" to become the "Songstress" class.
Both Lenne and Yuna had a boyfriend who also looked very similar to each other. For Lenne it was Shuyin, for Yuna it was Tidus. The scenes involving Lenne here are Shuyin trying to save her and them dying, sadly.
Essentially the reason you're seeing both Yuna AND Lenne is Yuna is singing one of Lenne's songs and the "Dressphere" was resonating with the technology used to put on the show, causing everyone present to see a bit of the past. For context, this concert was put on to put an end to a minor war between factions, to show them their petty squabbles mean nothing compared to the overall conflict.
FFX is often ripped on for several reasons, but honestly it was a great story and X-2 may be FFX:The Sailor Moon episode, but it's great too, I'm not going to bother trying to defend it from those determined for it to suck, but it was fun, I enjoyed it, and I don't care what people say to the contrary.
If you want a happier sounding song by the same singer... check out "What Can I Do for You?" from FFX-2, it's the opening song and the one featured in the commercials back when it was current. There are both Japanese and English versions of the song so be ware of that, to go with this video I'd go with the English version.
Why the fuck are you explaining a story at all. Nothing about this shit will mean anything to him.
Thank you so much for all the info and the recommendation! 🙏
@@GOTGames Yeah FFX-2 is basically Charlie's angels
Final Fantasy X is my favorite game of all time. The sequel, X-2, is also so magical. I know it has mixed reviews, but for me, it was everything. This song holds such a special place in my heart, so happy you got to experience it!
Playing these 2 games is a journey, I’m sure you would get tons of people watching just because of how amazing replaying these games are.
I'm pretty sure "To Zanarkand"(from FFX) won the twitch poll with "1000 words"(from FFX-2) being the optional extra from Final Fantasy 10/10-2. Is "To Zanarkand" coming out in a separate video?
01:52 "Is this a cut scene?"
Yes, this is a cut scene from the game.
02:05 "There's singing in Final Fantasy"
Yes, this is from Final Fantasy 10-2 where the story and mechanics are centered around dress spheres, with one of them being the songstress sphere. Also Final Fantasy 6 had an Opera sequence.
02:38 "What the hell is she standing on"
It is their airship.
02:53
Lenne was not a prior owner of the dress sphere. The sphere was created from her 'pyreflies' (soul and memories, basically)
Final Fantasy won and char recommended 2 songs, both of which will be done, this one was just recorded first 💯
Thank you for answering my questions ❤️
FF8 also has "Eyes On Me," which was the first song in video game history to win an award at the 14th Annual Japan Gold Disc Awards ( "Song of the Year Western Music)" in 2000, and FF9 has Melodies of Life, which is just a banger of a song! Nobuo Uematsu is amazing.
Final Fantasy X is a must play master piece
well....
the singer that does this version is Jade from Sweetbox, but there is a japanese version too that is even more heartwreching, the japanese version is sang by Koda Kumi, I definitely recommend it. she also did an english version to the song.
But I'm sorry but this girl doesn't do spoilers at all and ruin it for other people. I also recommend Real Emotion, which is another song that's in final fantasy X-2, but it's a lot more upbeat and happier! Jade from sweetbox also sings it.
Ah dang, before I hit play on this i scrolled through the comments. This isn't the Koda Kumi version?? That makes me sad! That is the PINNACLE version of the song!!
I know, I know, westerners that played the game probably never heard the Japanese original, and thus aren't used to it if they do hear it. But to me its the best one. Just like the peak Kingdom Hearts music is Utada Hikaru's when she sings in Japanese!
@@RyoHazuki224 AMEN! but no this version isn't Koda Kumi's version, which in my personal opinion, MY opinion is the best version, even same for her english version of it
I need a collab between Hikaru Utada and Kumi Koda APSA.
Ooh, if you wanna check out more FF X OST (and not cry), I'd recommend "Underworld"! But if you're okay with more crying, then "To Zanarkand" and "Someday the Dream Will End" are absolutely beautiful as well
Luke, please do a follow up video with the follow Final Fantasy OSTs. You will enjoy them!

I'm glad I saw the other messages mentioning "To Zanarkand", though I still question recommending this when "Suteki Da Ne" exists.
nice one on the "Suteki Da ne"! just rediscovered it!
Suteki da ne is great, eyes on me is another good one.
More coming 💯
These aren't animated music video, but are cutscenes. Don't worry, I'm the same way, and cried too. The long haired girl is Lenne, and the soul of the original Songstress dress sphere. The cutscene depicts her true feelings of the horrors of war, and showed her past memories, so yeah, they're not "okay."
The Japanese singer for this is Koda Kumi. Jade from SweetBox did the English version for the song. Both also sang the other song I like called REAL EMOTION. Maybe you can react to that too. And I promise, no sad crying for this one. XD It's one of my favorite bops back then, and still is now. XD

Luke, by the way the japanese version and english version have different lyrics. Its not a direct translation. Also this cutscene is from the remastered version of FFX/X-2 that came out in 2013. The originals came out in early 2000s and resolution was rougher then. Also they synced the lips/mouth animation to both the japanese and english lyrics respectively.
The wildest part is that this game is 20 years old now. And the cinematics STILL look good. PlayStation 2 was cracked
This cutscene always makes me cry for various reasons. Was going through a lot in 2003, coming out and such, and this game managed to give me some outlet for my feelings. FFX-2 isn't a great game but it is very good with it's story telling. 38, and even now I still cry watching it.
It's a cutscene mid game. It's from the FFX-2, so it's after an era of peace has fallen and the cast of the first game is able find more peaceful side careers after the end of the world is prevented in the first game.
This is final fantasy X-2
I've played through FFX a ton of times X-2 I played and got all 3 endings and that was it I forgot so much of it
Final fantasy OST's Never fail they are always soo good and draw in your emotional side
I love Final Fantasy X and X-2 so beautiful memorys 🥹🥹
X-2 is a lot to explain. It's mostly a lighthearted game that then kicks you in the shins at random moments
The easiest way to explain this cutscene is that Spira (the world this game is set in) is going through a civil war and the main character, Yuna (who literally helped save the world 2 years prior) decided that a concert might help heal the wounds of the world. Power of music and such.
Now for the off the rails part of this game. In game you change classes by changing your outfit. Each of these outfits are infused with the memories of people. In the case of the Songstress class the memories are tied to a woman who died 1000 years prior in a similar war.
Durning Yuna's unifying concert the projection technology interacted with the Songstress outfit's memories and projected the memories for everyone one to see: her and her lover's death 1000 years ago.
That is what this cutscene shows.
They're a lot more to it and it does require the context of the first game (FFX) but that's the easiest cliff notes I could come up with.
It's Spira not Sphera but the rest is on point 👍
@Peppita_ lol fixed. my brain obviously stopped working when I did that lol.
This song makes me cry to this day. Whenever i see/hear it, I can't avoid tearing up.
Also there's a Japanese version both are amazing. Yeah this a Cutscene of the game YRP
First played this game 20 years ago and that song is still devastating to me. Definitely a core memory.
Oh i need more final fantasy reactions!
In FFX-2 (the sequel this cutscene is in) there's these special garments the three girls in game can equip. The main character was wearing the songstress one which belonged to the long haired girl 1000 years ago. Her spirit kinda came through when Yuna was singing and she saw and felt the dead girls memories. Thats why she collapses after the song. And the man she was killed with looks very similar to her love interest (he was the main character in FFX)
Wow im soo glad you reacted to this, there a not many that react to this song out there, there is another song from FFx-2 Real Emotion thats also great, it plays at he verry beginning when you start the game. 1000 Words also is a Cutscene from the game. The Hymne of Fayth are also great songs (all the same song with different voices) it plays in game when you visit the different tempels with your crew.
this was a concert held by High Summoner Yuna to bring the battling factions of Spira together. The long haired women is Lenne a Summoner that died a thousand years ago. the location is known as the Thunder Plains and was constantly bombarded with lightning for as long as there was recorded history in Spira. The magic that linked the two summoners over a thousand years was powerful enough to break the endless storm.
Haha the fact that i still know all the lyrics to this dang song even to this day. X and X-2 were what got me into Final Fantasy. I will forever love Tidus and Yuna's storyline
Oh my god I LOVED this song. I would replay it in the game. FFX and X-2 in general has a great OST
AYYYYY here's my jam. Like for the homie, comment for the algorithm.
It's a special cut scene during the game. After watching this while playing the game I tear up EVERY time is see it again.
You watching people cry, makes you cry, me watching you cry, makes me cry. Such a beautiful song. I cried a lot during this scene in FFX2. I highly recommend playing FFX, my absolute favorite FF game.
Title is wrong. This is from Final Fantasy X-2, not X.
I didn't know, it's updated ❤
You should check 'To Zanarkand' from Final Fantasy X and 'One Winged Angel' from FF7 !
this video was a cutscene from the game FF X-2, the singer was Yuna was a former summoner who saved the world on the first installment if the game, the world now can use sphere (with memories) for powerful wardrobe, on the video Yuna was using the songstress sphere, the memory on it was Lenne (not sure if I still remember correctly). Yuna managed to access Lenne memory because the guy on the video looks like the guy Yuna likes on the first game... Also the surprise look at the end was because the location in the game always have lightning storm and never dissipate and thats the first time the lightning storm stopped.... For song recommendation, can you react to Redemption, it's a FF7 Dirge of Cerberus OST, I think you'll like it... it's not a sad song 😅
Final Fantasy X and X-2 were the first full 3D FF games, so they went hard. This was the official cutscene. The short hair girl is wearing the magic songstress clothes of the long haired girl. The song woke up her ghost to show everyone how she died.
I still have this game at home. The game was still available for the PS2 at the time. Here I also recommend the song that plays during the end credits for the game “Shadow Hearts Covenant”. As far as I know, there is also a music video with the singer. The game may not be as well known as Final Fantasy, but it is a hidden gem. Because if I had to choose between the two games, I would always choose Shadow Hearts Covenant.
I would 100% watch you play final fantasy on stream. Final fantasy X is my all time favourite game.
This is Final Fantasy X-2, haven't see this in a while, it always makes me cry
So this is a cut scene is from midway through the sequel game X-2. To put it as simply as I can Yuna (the first person singing) is essentially telling/showing Lenne's story (2nd lady) that happened over 1000 years ago. She can do this because her 'dress' originally belonged to Lenne and X and X-2 have LOTS of themes around death and in Spira (the world of the game) the dead Frequently stick around in various ways. Hell Yuna is Telling Lenne's story cause her boyfriend Shuyin has stuck around all this time and he is Super full of rage and wants to revive and use that big ass machine to kill everyone/thing. And that is Still super tame in comparison to the shit that happens in the main game X. 😅
And P.S. that big thing Yuna is standing on to sing is an Airship. Which is exactly what it sounds like, a ship that sails through air instead of water. It's a staple across FF games to have Some kind of 'airship' in there somewhere 😁
I'm sure others have explained but since you said you had no idea on FF in general but FF 10 continued in FF 10-2. The woman singing is in both games and she's here to try to get the various world races to join in peace. Yunie's costumes in X-2 were made by her uncle, who pilots the airship she's standing on so they all can see her, and are based on memories they find across the world in the course of doing quests. In this particular outfit you can see the memory is of a singer in the past that has a boyfriend that looks exactly like Yunie's love from base X. So the girl with the long hair is the echo and the short hair is Yunie. Besides that, not going into things any deeper.
Final fantasy X is one of those masterpiece story games. Highly highly recommend.
Some people dislike the battle mechanics tho. I personally like them
Thefinal fantasy series is known for it's great OSTs. This song is one of the most impactful in the whole series. It has a lot of meaning in the game, it has even more meaning for Yuna, the main character in that game (FFX-2) and it has a huge impact on the whole game. It is a song coming from a broken spirit to help people understand the futility of the war they are engaging in.
If you want another good song, one that's just a smige longer, I would recommend Dancing Mad from FFVI.
Luke crying on this scene just makes me wonder if there would be enough support for him to someday play FFX. Hopefully someday he'll give it a shot!
"1000 Words" are way too much to describe how it makes you feel.
"To Zanarkand" may be FFX's musical flagship, but I think you'll really enjoy "Otherworld." When I think of FFX, this is without a doubt the first thing that comes to mind - my personal favorite game opening.
If you saw Real Emotion first, you might have been really for this video, as it's the starting cut scene for the game. Where we see Yuna (?) in a live concert for the first time
The ending cutscene/song of Fatal frame 3 (project zero 3) might also be worth checking out . The song is called Koe from Amano Tsukiko.
Eyes on me from Final fantasy 8 is also a great song.
Both are very beautiful songs.
I think Final fantasy X-2 was from 2003
You should also check out the full orchestral version of 1000 Words used for the credits
Amazing song! FFX and FFX-2 are both great games, and I definitely recommend them if you ever want to try out Final Fantasy! :D
Luke this is from Final Fantasy X-2 the sequel to X, both amazing games and well ahead of their time when it comes to story, cutscenes and music. As other comments are saying check out the the 2 opening scenes with the song "To Zanarkand" and "Otherworld" they are both epic and I know they will be the absolute best FFX songs you can react to.
7:12 "I don't think they're okay guys" I was about as emotional as you were until you said this and sent me, lmao, love your reactions man!
You can never have nice things Luke. ☺☺ To answer your question how old that game is, 20 years. 😗 FFX-2 was a favourite for many years by cosplays. In every contest there was a Yuna or Lenne or both perform this song. Good times... ☺
And, since you don't play Final Fantasy, here is one sweet little trivia fact, the game writer took inspiration from the original star wars and most of FF story kind of had this Star wars feel,
This is a truly beautiful game. I recommend you play it. It is a turn based RPG. It is a stream worthy game.
singing is common-ish in final fantasy games. in x-2 specifically they have a class of support based fighters called songstresses that fight and strengthen their friends by singing. that's what the singer is in this scene. there's a few variations on this in other ff games, usually dancer and/or bard.
if you wanted to react to more ffx specific music, you could check out Real Emotion (X-2, it's the opening credits of the game) and Otherworld (X opening credits, and Jeckt's theme)
for ff songs in general to react to, i highly recommend anything from ffxiv. the music from that game is fantastic. Scream for something metal, dedicated to moonlight for pop, a long fall for techno, dragonsong if you want to make your viewers cry... lot's of amazing options.
Try doing the intros for both FInal Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2, as both have great songs, plus from FF-X the "Suteki Da Ne" song, that one will break your heart too.
And, Yuna will be okay.... if you complete both games.
This is an in game scene from FFx-2, the machine you saw the character standing on was their transport an airship styled after motorcycles. The switch in characters is a bit hard to explain, but you use dress spheres in the game to switch between different combat classes and the one she's in is called the songstress (fellow nerds correct me if I'm wrong) and it has a connection with someone from a long time ago and when Yuna did that performance, she resonated with the spirit of the orb and it manifested through her. This scene was amazing and it honestly had me crying when I first heard it because there's a lot from the first and second game that feeds into how that scene impacts the player.
This is an actual cutscene in the game, 1 i actually keep a save file at. To put it simply and without too many spoilers, the more mature lady is a "ghost" made of emotions contained within an item thats use for the main Character's (Younger singer) outfit and the song and images are rooted in the "ghost"s emotions and memories (the shooting was when she and her lover died over 1000 years ago).
Im leaving out a huge amount of context, but, as you just experienced, you dont really need the full context of the story to feel the emotions.
Ffx is a game everyone needs to play (x first then x-2) amazing story, plot twists everywhere, amazing cutscenes, absolute classic. Also an incredible soundtrack
yuna is the character. PS2 era and it is a cutscene. you should see the cutscene for the start of X-2 as well. Jade from sweetbox does indead have a great voice. its Yuna (who is basically a priestess whom helps spirits) channeling a spirit tied to the story. you should check out early FF games. FF7,8,9,10, and 10-2 are all really good.
And yes it’s in the game
Spoilers/full background context of this scene: (ALL OF THEM)
.
.
.
Yuna the short haired singer in this event is the main character in 10-2 and the main heroine in 10-1. In 10-1 she chooses to follow her father's footsteps and become a summoner, a sacrificial martyr who gains the ability to channel basically the spirits of the ancients in the form of massive battle beasts. 10-1 is basically her pilgrimage to master the art of summoning to perform the "Final summoning", an art that uses the soul/trust of your most beloved friend/lover in combination with the summoner's own life to bring forth the Final Aeon, a power strong enough to destroy a beast simply named "Sin" (I'll put the extra Sin description at the end because thats a whole other mess). 10 years prior to 10-1 Yuna's father became high summoner, meaning he and his party defeated Sin. However when Sin is defeated, the soul (The Final Aeon in form of the summoners closest friend) is possessed by Sin and rebirthed several years later. But that period in which Sin doesn't exist and theres a brief time of peace is called "The Calm". Yuna and her party eventually find a way to end this rebirth process bringing for the (Eternal Calm) but ends in the sacrifice of the main character in 10-1 causing him to fade from existence.
10-2 begins when yuna finds a sphere (basically our equivalent of recorded videos/dvds) that appears to show the 10-1 protagonist. She becomes a sphere hunter to try to see if any more of these recordings of him exist to see if he's actually gone or alive somewhere. Eventually the events of 10-2 lead to a conflict that spurs on what would be the first major war since 1000 years ago (some details below). Yuna, being the high summoner who brought about eternal peace, tries to think of a way to re-unify the people. So she puts together this concert. As you've heard she channels the spirit of Lenne, a popular songstress who lived in war time Zanarkand 1000 years ago with her lover Shuyin (who surprisingly looks identical to the 10-1 protagonist) Shuyin wanted to put an end to the war, so he infiltrated the headquarters the enemy nation, technological superpower Bevelle, in search of a super weapon to turn the tides. As he is trying to take over something called Vegnagun, basically the equivalent of a living, coherent nuclear weapon, He is confronted by Lenne, who was also a summoner fighting on the front lines. She had caught wind of his plot to activate vegnagun and hunted him down to talk him out of using Vegnagun due to the mass destruction it would bring. The two of them are discovered at this time and gunned down by Bevelle guards, but not before Vegnagun is activated. (This is everything you're seeing once Yuna transforms into Lenne)
Sin: Throughout history there has only ever really been one war, and that was 1000 years ago between the Ancient Summoner's of Zanarkand, and the technological superpower Yevon from Bevelle. As Zanarkand begins to fall, the leader of the summoners, Yu Yevon, comes up with a plan to salvage his nation. He and a group of his summoners become a massive Fayth (basically inserting their souls into stones to allow their power to be brought out in the form of summoning and they create two things; Dream Zanarkand, basically a recreation of their nation in basically dream format, including the people the fayth could remember. They placed the Dream far out in unexplored ocean waters in hopes that those dream recreated people/nation would never be disturbed again (The protagonist of 10-1 is one of these dreams). The 2nd thing they created was Sin, made of Yu Yevons soul, a mobile super summoning who's duty was to forever protect the waters around Dream Zanarkand, and to hunt down technology capable of ever leading other civilizations to finding Dream Zanarkand... Eventually over 1000 years that duty (due to Yu Yevon's extreme hatred for Bevelle corrupting it) the "destroy technology and protect Zanarkand" became simply "Destroy" thus making Sin a world ending terror.
So, most Final Fantasy games have a song featuring heavily in the plot. Final Fantasy VIII had Eyes on Me, Final Fantasy IX had Melodies of Life, Final Fantasy X had Suteki Da Ne, X-2 had this, and so on and so on. The songs always interweave in some way, shape or form with the plot. X-2 takes it a little further by having the main character actually sing the song. And yes, this is a cutscene from the game. The singer of this version is Jade Valerie Villalon, who used to be the voice of the group Sweetbox.
black butler OP - Monochrome no kiss, is very great bro.
I played bouth parts FFX and FFX-2. I completed the games 100% includeing the extra extended wich alowes me to see the second and (alternate) ending. It was worth it. So many years later and this game series always gets me somehow still. The FF part with Vaan was also great but this two are so much ahead of the games on the market that time. Some cutscenes are remarkable even in 2024.
The main singer (the one with short hair) is the main character, Yuna. The other singer is a ghost who just happens to resemble her.
I still need to beat this game
My first Final Fantasy was X and it was amazing, still one of my favorite RPGs, besides Star Ocean 3 (though this song is from X-2).
And yes this is a cutscene - FF is a lot about fidelity. The graphics of this at it's time were insane.
XVI is the most recent main-entry and the cutscenes (some are integrated into gameplay) are absolutely insane. Had a great story and good combat too.
Though after letting it sit for a while I wasn't quite satisfied with the combat tbh, wish it was a bit more complex.
X might still be my favorite especially the story and characters.
XIV (I played that for 7 years ..) and XI are MMOs. The hard XIV raids are insanely fun. After 7 years it did start to get a bit old, but that's quite the achievement nontheless.
XII was also pretty good.
XIII (has 3 games) wasn't for me - part 1 was ok, hated part 2 so never played part 3.
XV .. sadly made me stop buying any CE's. They had dev troubles and eventually released the most incomplete AAA title ever. Marketing for this game honestly felt like a scam after playing it.
Most recent main title XVI, maybe my second favorite. but VII remakes might be up there too I can't quite place them (didn't finish Rebirth yet).
Didn't finish / barely played any of the older ones.
I was obsessed with this game when it came out. I loved the characters and cut scenes. There is another from this game you should check out. Its happier, Its called real emotion. :)
also the opening for the game is called What can i do for you
If Luke wants to cry more, there is always the Japanese version of this song "sen no kotoba"/"1000の言葉".
Also the cutscene is slightly different in the Japanese and International version, due to differences in the song. For example there are no double vocals in the Japanese one, so you only se Yuna sing in the ending part!
Love your reactions from Italy .>
If you ever consider playing a Final Fantasy I recomend something between 6 to 10. They are all aweseome.
FF always has ways to pull the heart stings - this was both a tragic story and a moment of empowerment in FFX-2
If you play the game, you know their stories, you'll cry harder,
FFX-2's main gimmick is the 'dressphere'. Lore-wise they basically carry remnants of the spirits of past heroes and you can equip different ones to switch player classes. The only one this really matters in the game, story-wise, is the Songstress, which channels the second singer's spirit
its a cutscene from the game, that is the main character from FFX-2 the FFX sequel, came out around 2003-2005, also all Final Fantasy games have a ton of sad stuff happening, but it is usually overlooked given that the story is way too epic to focus on the sad, plus older final fantasy games looked goofy
Surprised to see an FFX OST but more surprised you didn't go for (or werent more strongly recommended) Real Emotion or Other World (You will LOVE Otherworld).
If you want recommendations I can't recommend anything above Persona Q or Q2: Pull The Trigger, Laser Beam, Cinematic Tale, Our Strength, Wait and See
Luke needs to do a full FFX/FFX-2 music/cut scene journey.

FFX-2 - 1000 words (this video)
This is an actual cutscene from the sequel to Final Fantasy X. What's actually happening in this one is... a bit complicated to explain, but they're definitely emotional games. I would highly recommend playing through the original though, even if it's just in your spare time. It's such an amazing game and, despite a bunch of memes taken out of context, it's really stood the test of time. I feel like even a highlights video of a playthrough might do well on youtube.
Love the piano version of this song
Well now you have to react to Real Emotion now. 😊
I do hope you do some of the anime-style openings from the "Talse of" series. Beseria's my personal favorite.
Berseria is a peak choice
If you are getting teary eyed over 1000 Words, wait until you listen to Suteki Da Ne with subtitles, truly heart wrenching
Anything Final Fantasy X can and will make you cry for sure lmao
For what it's worth, FFX has a very loyal following, so if you ever do stream it, it could pop off... lol. This particular cutscene is from X-2 though, but it is in game, not just a music video. X is a great Final Fantasy to start on though if you ever decide to play them!
Final Fantasy does have some of the best OST's imo. Like Eyes on me, Suteki da ne, etc xD You should also react to the japanese version of 1000 words
Luke you should try playing final fantasy 10 & final fantasy 10-2 there's so much good ost's
If younhavent already you should react to "Dragon Song" from Final Fantasy 14. Another good one from the same game is "Flow" . Two absolutely beautiful songs.
✨ Chrono Cross Time's Scar ✨
Isn't it Scars of Time?
And the other song from ffX “what can I do for you” is also really good….and the gackt songs from ffVII dirge of Cerberus are really good to,
The lady in the blue dress with the short hair is wearing "equipment" which stores the skills and attire of other people, at times this affects the wearers actions
As she is singing, the memories stored in this equipment projects out (there's some other shiz going on with that, can't recall exactly how it comes out)
Part of the reason for this is that the original person (long hair) and the other (short hair) are also connected by the person they love (not going to say more details for that for spoils)
Personally Final Fantasy X-2 was my first FF game, however, I would suggest playing FF X first between them, there's just a lot of character and world growth/context which give the second game a lot more impact
ngl.. FFX was just ahead of its time with graphics and everything.
You should do the opening to this game too.
Btw this game is X-2 the sequel to X. Because 16 main games isn't enough, there are sequels to numbered games as well.
Some other Final Fantasy OST recommendations:
Final Fantasy IX - You're not alone
Final Fantasy VII Remake - Hollow
Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core - The Price of Freedom
This one sounds really great in Japanese too and I’m not a Japanese fan, but I can show my appreciation for the songs❤ they’ve done some amazing stuff with video games and music. I would suggest listening to the crab warden battle theme from FFVII remake
yes that is a cutscene, FFX-2 is a weird game. It comes off the story of FFX as it is the first direct sequel in the series. The mainline FF games don't really have a continuous plot, they mostly happen in separate worlds, I say mostly as there is a theory that a few are connected but years apart possible same universe but not world. Then you have 14 where all of them are linked somehow cus MMO and they love to toss references.
Anyway a little bit about this cutscene, in X-2 they have things called dress spheres, they let you change jobs and such for battle, one of the jobs is songstress, and they all have memories tied to them. The memories of the person that sphere originated from are the people getting shot, long time ago, kind of a Romeo and Juliet thing if I remember. She and her boyfriend oddly favor Yuna and Tidus, her love interest from X who has vanished, so the parallels is what is shown here. It is a very strong song though.
Not the most common thing to have like midgame, but FF8 for instance has an ending theme that has vocals (and it is from a character in the story), then of course FF14 has a ton of vocals, and the music is amazing.
FF games in general tend to have great cutscenes and music though, FF16 is amazing if you have access to a PS5, it is also coming to PC likely this year at some point, but no official dates. Absolute masterpiece though, if you don't care about spoilers, check out some of the fights in there. The Bahamut fight is amazing.
