As the game just turned 20, I felt it was the right time to pour my heart into a project which, I hope, has truly shown how amazing and unique I find it. To put things into perspective, I ugly cried three times during the making of this video. First, after writing the script and watching the ending unfold. Second, when I had finished putting the video on top of the audio, forced to watch Tidus’ and Yuna’s last moments together again. And third, when I watched the entire video in one setting to iron out the quirks, and the beautiful sights and sounds of Spira came together one last time. Final Fantasy X is so special to me because it managed to make me feel things, to such a degree, no other game has done before or really after it. The characters, the story, the music, the voice acting, the pacing, everything comes so perfectly together here, and Square-Enix has never managed to make something as perfect ever since. Not even close. This video is first and foremost meant as a tribute to the game, taking you through the entire story and plot of Final Fantasy X, accompanied by my own thoughts and comments on a myriad of aspects, ranging from the plot to gameplay mechanics. I have decided to ultimately focus predominantly on the story, as that is what, to me, truly sets this game apart from the rest. I have also made the artistic decision to include many longer scenes from the game, some which are several minutes long, so as to best convey the original intent and feeling of the game, but shortening them where it makes sense. I hope my choices have made sense to you, and if not, I hope you’ll let me know in the comments. I have also to the best of my ability included the game’s soundtracks where they fit best, so as to the highest degree possible convey the feeling of being in each section and area of the game. I hope you enjoy my dedication to the game. If you feel like I have left anything out, or if you have any interesting things to add to the story or characters or the world itself, then please let me know – I’d love to hear it. This project has taken me an entire month to put together and release in the state in which it is presented, which is the main reason why I have been unable to produce as many videos as quickly as I have in the previous months. It was hard, but I am ultimately extremely proud of it. It could not have been accomplished however, without the help of YouTubers Krow’s Graveyard and Sharriko, both of whom have made extensive “no commentary” walkthroughs of the game, the former on PlayStation 2, and the latter on PS4 and PC. I am in their debt, and cannot thank them enough. I have used an excellent piano cover by YouTuber Kylelandry during the Macalania kissing scene and for my end credits, so thank you very much to all of these YouTubers, and please make sure to check out their channels. Lastly, a massive thank you to the developers, writers, voice actors and composers of Squaresoft, who managed to create a masterpiece for the ages. Thank you. And to you - thank you so much for watching the video. I sincerely hope I’ve managed to create something which you enjoyed watching as much as I enjoyed making. Until next time.
