Not gonna lie I was pretty upset lol eyes were tearing

one of my favorite games though

Meh,, i would say it was kind of sad,, not really worth nipping to the shops to buy a packet of kleenex and a tub of ice cream..

I suppose you might consider it sad.

I however did my patented Happy Dance when I saw Tidus disappearing.

its was cool for the first FF with great graphics and voices but the game itself was sad i agree but there are people who think its pretty good

First FF with great graphics?


What the hell are you talking about.

In each of their respective generations, FF games have always had better graphics than most games from its category.

I could understand the comment if it was just about FFX having Voice actors.


This just tells me that you got into the series starting with FFX.

I thought it was the greatest 'cause Tidus is so hot and the battle system is so much faster but then I lost the game for personal reasons and have not yet re-attained said game.

Beating the game is nothing special, but I would like to know how it led in to X-2 because otherwise X-2 seemed like it just popped out of somebody's perverted-bored-racketeering head at Square.

I don't know if someone else has already said this, but in the International version, there is a in game engine cut scene anime called "Final Fantasy X: Another Story." It is only in Japanese, but it gives a hell of a clue about how the two games mend.

yeah it was pretty sad

i know, off topic, but don't you wish they'd remake some of the other ff games w/ better graphics & voices?

The ending was obviously pretty sad for an FF title, also I was surprised at how easy the final boss fight was.

Well, I guess with the younger generation of gamers, this could be common. Hell, even gamers around my age (18, incase you were all wondering). But I agree. The Final Fantasy series has always been famous for in depth stories and kick ass graphics.

The ending was obviously pretty sad for an FF title, also I was surprised at how easy the final boss fight was.

i know. jecht was pretty easy, but yu yevon was kinda pathetic. i put zombie on him, used a phoenix down, and i got to see the ending. pssht.

yeah, jecht was the main final boss. yu yevon was just a story closer. You couldnt die. But, a funny story about yu yevon, the last time i played X, i never botherd to teach anyone zombie attack. So when i fought yu yevon, it took ages because wenever i attacked, it just cast curaga on itself..

i didn't know you couldn't die while fighting yu yevon. if you talk to that maechen (sp?) scholar, he tells you that yu yevon was "supposedly" yunalesca's father.

but jecht really wasn't that hard.

Yeah, you have auto life, although i doubht you will have died, so thats probably why you didnt notice..

w/ pretty much the whole sphere grid filled w/ every character, i highly doubt i would've lost. lol.

i had my mom watch the ending after i explained to her what the game was about. she still didn't get it. rofl.

I just re-started it... again.
Because I had a friend over who wanted to play/watch me play it type thing...
and playing it again... just makes it that much sadder, because you relieaze(sp?) why they say certain things at the beginning...

yeah i know what you mean..like the scene when they talk about going to zanarkind, and you know what going to happen. i liked that about the game.

yeah i know... its ALOT easier. i just started two nights ago? and i haven't been really playing it "hardcore" or however you want to put it... and i'm already at the temple with seymour(i just don't want to type it out...)

yeah i know what you mean..like the scene when they talk about going to zanarkind, and you know what going to happen. i liked that about the game.

Knowing definatley maes it sadder.

Like, once again, I am playing it. And the scene where they are at the moonflow, and Tidus says "After we beat sin, we're coming back"

It was more depressing than an emo summer camp.

and when yuna and tidus are laughing in luca, and yuna says she wants her journey to be full of laughter.

playing again makes the game so much easier to understand.

Knowing definatley maes it sadder.

oh i know.
i told my friend what happens at the end, because i knew she would get to see it... and she was like "WHAT?" and was all sad.

and lmao to the emo joke.

Nah.

It was a very sad game..ending brought tears to my eyes..truely a beautiful game but it's nice knowing that Tidus and Yuna were reunited later on.

it one of the best games ever as far as im concerned. it does get easy though when anima has 20,000+ life and full attack and defence stats

Saddest the game i ever play.That game brought tears to my eyes.BEST GAME EVER!!!

Please explain as full as you possibly can as to why FFX is the "BEST GAME EVA" because otherwise you sound like a complete retard.

TM, have you never met somebody like this before?? :rolleyes:


I think you have. Therefore why you asked for a reasonable explanation is beyond me. Just look at the username. What do you expect really??

I can't speak for TM but I expect a 5 page essay detailing why FFX is the best game ever. I also expect the user to cite his sources and provide a bibliography.

Due Monday.

It'll come from Wikipedia.

It would be sad but Tidus comes back in the end of X-2 so why would I be sad?

Thanks. Although i am not a Great fan of X-2. I still planed on finishing it. I just keep starting it, and then moving on to something else. Next time, put a spoiler warning you jerk. :rolleyes:

I agree that did deserve a warning.

TM, have you never met somebody like this before?? :rolleyes:


I think you have. Therefore why you asked for a reasonable explanation is beyond me. Just look at the username. What do you expect really??

A retarded reply that we can laugh at.

*waits with anticipation


:p

Why would it be sad? There's significant suggestions implied by the Fayth of the Aeons when you revisit them at their perspective temples toward the end of the game. It makes me think the good ending of X-2 was the intention of the developers from the beginning or rather that X-2 expands on the ending of X.

sad wouldn't be the word...emotional... actually watever word it is... as long as it could bring me to tears, i could give it an A.

*nods* It was a very emotional game... though rather than sad, I'd say it was heart touching. ^_^

hmm.... Idts... imo

I would definitely say that FFX had some excitingly sad moments. But I also think that this was due to the fact where it was also the newest and most realistic FF we had played at the time. It was also the first time voice acting had been incorporated into the dialogue and the emotions expressed on the character's faces.

I believe that every FF has it's sad moments, but they just seem more prominent in FFX because of how next-gen it was for the time.

I didn't find FFX that sad, it was powerful at times but not sad, the only sad part was the ending really.

= /

I didn't find FFX that sad, it was powerful at times but not sad, the only sad part was the ending really.

I didn't find the ending all that sad...Then again, I never really liked Tidus or Yuna.

I like Yuna. Don't really like Tidus.

False. The game isn't that sad.

Cried my ass off at the end, but in a good way. Its one of my favourite endings :)

I don't know why people hate Tidus so much. Was it because he was cheerful? Because he tried to keep spirits up for everyone around him? Because he wasn't a dark brooding type? People would have complained about that too. I guess its a lose-lose... :-(

IT'S BECAUSE TIDUS WAS A WHINY BITCH

Yeah of course... Tidus wasn't like the average stereotipical hero that is only in there for the girls and glory acting all cool and fearless all the time like some kind of bad ass Dante clone....

I think people calling him whiny never tried to think how they would act if something similar to Tidus happened to them.

Well, if i got to go on a pilgrimage with girls who looked like Rikku and Yuna..I think I'd be pretty cheerful. I don't think i would be having silly dreams and fits all the time. But thats just me.. :p

Well, if i got to go on a pilgrimage with girls who looked like Rikku and Yuna..

What are you talking about? Lulu was the hottest.

What are you talking about? Lulu was the hottest.

No, she just had bigger tits.

Yeah and all those belts, god how I love a girl that has a dress made of belts.

His voice killed it actually.

Yeah, his voice was annoying. But nobody chooses his own voice, I guess. ^^

They do when it's in a video game!

'Sigh', yes they do.

I guess every single character should have the voice of a cool, suave, sexy and well spoken lady's man.

You know, like every clich� character out there. The voice might be annoying, but that's his voice. Just like yours is yours and nobody can do a thing about it, no matter how annoying it might be. I really don't know what's the big deal with that.

I liked Tidus`voice, what I did not like was Yunas` voice. Problem is not the voice itself, the problem is in the way that Hedy Burress speak.

I actually like Tidus' voice, Rikku was the one that annoyed me beyond belief.

My most hated voice ties between Wakka and Tidus.

Character too...

Rikku had a cute voice. Wakka's voice annoyed me alot.

I hated the majority of the voices, but Tidus' and Wakka's were the worst, by far.

Edit:Ignore post

This thread has kind of derailed

IT'S BECAUSE TIDUS WAS A WHINY BITCH


Well. Said. Sir.

indeed

wtf some of you guys are outright morons

(didn't read the thread, the title was enough for me to come to this conclusion)

Pheonix this thread isn't even about FFX being sad anymore lol.
Anyway I liked Tidus, he wasn't the best protagonist ever but he was still very engaging.

I'm sadden to say this...
but this thread needs to be killed with fire...

I'm sadden to say this...
but this thread needs to be killed with firaga...

use mana for suffer

Yes, it's a sad game. It's sad how much it sucks especially compared to FFIX and FFXII.

At first, it was very depressing and sad. You know, I liked the japanese version ending...it was much more emotional.

It's the same fucking thing on all versions, but I guess you had to brag about your japanese knowledge... if any.

Hedy did an okay job, but the japanese actress brought out her character more. People have their opinions, and no, I'm not good with the whole japanese "knowledge".

FUCKING GRATE GAME MADE ME SOB LIKE A BABY LOL I LOVED EVERY MIN OF PLAYING IT I NEED 2 GET A NEW 1 THOUGH I FUCKED UP MY OTHER 1 :'(

...o.O

I found it was really sad, moved me more than any motion picture I can think of at the top of my head. I would've been more moved if the VA was done in Japanese, their voices are so much more better and well suited. Tidus sounds like a kid.. anyways I was still moved by it, very moved.

Is the library of films you have watched extremely small by any chance? Im just curious. Also, Tidus' voice was annoying. But it didn't sour the game for me in anyway.

haha, Hi.

haha, Hi.

lol hey cookie

I think Lost Odyssey is an overall sadder game than FF X.

It's that bad?

Your limited brain thinks there's something wrong with sad stories?

sure FFX a little saddening but I've had worse somewhere along the line I'm sure.

Your limited brain thinks there's something wrong with sad stories?

You know, Hynad, your "insults" aren't clever or funny. In fact, they've lost their touch about 4 months ago. You're bordering on obnoxious now, jftr.

i never felt emotians like i did at da end of the game, i felt a part of it and suddnly all da little foibles didnt matter like the way their faces keep changing from blu ray to fuzz, and it became a gaming masterpiece

FUCKING GRATE GAME MADE ME SOB LIKE A BABY LOL I LOVED EVERY MIN OF PLAYING IT I NEED 2 GET A NEW 1 THOUGH I FUCKED UP MY OTHER 1 :'(

i agree, i sat staring at my tv for 2 hours through all da end movies

Swami, it is more then due time you realise your replies have been old for much longer than that.

You cannot seem to make an intelligent comment on topic, and it hasn't been clever or funny in all the time you've commented here while I was around, which if you count properly, goes back way farther than 4 months ago.


Yeah, it's that bad.

Oh yes, I forgot you're the resident "genius" here. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: get your head out of your ass.

Doesn't really matter what I say anyways, you'll always come back with a "nuh uh! yur dumb!" type response.

Is that all you got for me?


And as far as the "dumb" responses go, most of the time I don't even need to bother. You do it all by yourself.

lmao so much for FFX being the saddest game ever huh? take it to a private chat will you?

Do you really think your out of topic comment is any better?

My out-of-topic comment was mostly certainly closer to being on topic than yours. Take it to private messaging, and let us continue our lovely chat about how FFX made us laugh or cry.

No leave them argue, it amuses me.

FreakyLoser, your nick suits you quite well. Now if you have a grudge against anyone here, why don't you follow you own advice and take it to PM yourself?

If you have something to say on topic, no one is holding you. Now unless you're a mod and I didn't know (which isn't so) stop trying to act like one and stfu.

FFX was the sadest game i ever played

I would like to turn your attention to the matter at hand, that being how depressing FFX is.

Personally, it's one of the few games I actually cried at (I didn't even cry at FVII). The story's was about death, so that just helped.

****SPOILER****






Definitely. I don't think it was quite as romantic as FFVIII, but it's much more sad because Tidus and Yuna don't get to be together in the end. The last time I beat Yu Yevon and watched the final movie, I got all misty-eyed. ;-;

[.Pearl.]
Hi and welcome to the shrine, ^^
We got spoiler things I think the code is
[ spoiler] [ /spoiler] without the space in front of the word

That spoiler wasn't warned very well :(

Hm. Its the thread that wont die.

;-;

I'm sorry. That was totally my ignorant fault for not knowing. [/n00b]

And I'm sorry for continuing the thread by apologizing. e.e;

Haha. Don't worry, its been half dead and revived numerous times. You're not the first and I'm sure you wont be the last. Unless it is closed of course.

And, I'm sure Harkus' post about the spoiler was a joke. You did wright spoiler in huge letters, and only an idiot would not get that it was one.

Also, hey and stuff :)

Yeah it was a joke lol. Hi Pearl!

This forum needs a waving smilie.

I don't think FFX was the saddest game I've played. Though, I guess it depends on what people play really. If FFX is the saddest game that someone played, then it is to them. The saddest game ever, though. I seriously think other games have made tears flow more than FFX. It was good, but not that good, imo.

why did you train there when you couldve went to the omega ruins

I found the whole Tidus finding out that Yuna will die thing, at Home pretty sad.

Hi ppl, who thinks FFX is the saddest game ever, who felt something when they beat it??

yerp! it was a sad game, which is why i think quite a few people didnt like the game! ;)

I think "sad game" is wrongly dubbed - I'd be more inclined to say "sad ending". The reason why is because I never actually believed Yuna would die but I DID believe Tidus would disappear the very second he collapsed at the Fayth Scar.

For me, Metal Gear Solid 4 was a FAR more saddening game - I never felt assured of the protagonist's future whatsoever. It pulled at the heartstrings (of course, you need to have played the previous games and care about the characters) CONSTANTLY throughout it rather than just at the end.

Having said that I think FFX's ending is the best of an FF game.

I agree with Aqueous that it's the best ending of the FF line. The whole atmosphere of the game already builts up the bitter-sweet melancholy that dominates the story. I mean you pretty much know it from the opening sequence (It could be the last...) and the music, that this will not be the "happily ever after" kind of story like FF8 (which I like least out of all FF)

Frankly, I would have been pissed of at a happy ending, that's why I never even touched X-2.
So yup it's sad, but that what makes the whole story work. It's not the best game nor the saddest but definatly one of my favorite sad ending games.

I think the game is sad from start to finish.

The game is filled with melancholy and cut-scenes is which you see the characters being all hush-hush about Yuna's fate as a summoner, an aura of sadness surrounding them (easily noticeable in their in-game facial expressions). They all lost something really dear in the past (Wakka lost his brother, Lulu lost the same person as a lover, Yuna lost his father, Kimahri is an outcast, Auron is dead, Rikku is crazy...) The townsfolk are most of the time depressed about Sin, or talking and hoping for the next Calm despite knowing that a summoner has to die to bring that 10 years of repose. People do vain attempts against Sin, and are depressed over their loss, Tidus doesn't really fit in the whole time and doesn't understand the people that journeys with him, Sin is his father, for whom he have only hate because of his ruined childhood. And he sacrifices himself and his chance for love so the people of Spira can enjoy a future without Sin...


Yes, this is a sad game.



I must agree though that despite my dislike of the game, the ending is quite the best the series has offered thus far. Followed closely by IX and XII.


And Aqueous, you're absolutely right about Metal Gear Solid 4. It is the saddest game experience I have come to play so far.

Final Fantasy X is very sad. You keep on getting on told that someone is gonna die (actually you only get told twice but you know what I mean) then you find out that Auron is dead and you probably think this is f**ked up s**t. But still a brilliant game...

I agree that it is a good game. Its kinda sad, and I like the combat style. I was annoyed by Titus' voice. And have anyone ever noticed how Yuna has those bushy eyebrows. -_-

I agree that it is a good game. Its kinda sad, and I like the combat style. I was annoyed by Titus' voice. And have anyone ever noticed how Yuna has those bushy eyebrows. -_-

I never noticed that before. I think her freakish blue and green eyes drew attention away from it.

Really? It took me a while to notice the eyes.

The ending was sad, but not a tearjerker like some made it out to be, plus i already kinda knew what happened from the start (only got it this year) so kinda ruined it. Plus i hate Yuna, so that doesn't help.

EDIT: Yeah i noticed Yuna's multicoloured eyes, and bushy eyebrows also lol.

Yeah i noticed Yuna's multicoloured eyes, and bushy eyebrows also lol. well it was a bit hard not to notice the eyes

The fact that at the very end of FFX you see Tidus inside the water heading for the surface (or seems to do so), doesn't mean that Square wanted to have two endings in the price of one? Those who wanted to think that Tidus wouldn't return would think so because it's not actually mentioned and those who wanted to think that Tidus would return would use the final FMV after the credits as a hint. I always considered that to be FFX ending's brilliance.

Well, I mean, Final Fantasy X-2 sort of clinches it, innit?

I thought X was sad at the time, certainly the saddest I'd yet played (Persona 3 recently dethroned it), but the sequel sort of dilutes the ending. Not that that's a bad thing.

i shed a tear on the endind FMV i still this that final fantasy x its by far the best final fantasy game even though all the others are extremely good in my opinion i love final fantasy x the most :)

I like FFX and all...i think its good and has a real good plot...but i think the
graphics coulda been better...the game was created when the PS2 was knida
new...so it woundnt be as good in graphics than the later PS2 games...or
the other Final Fantasy games after it...

What the hell has this got to do with it being sad?!

You seem to continue digging your hole every time you begin posting again!

i thinj the ff8 is the saddest... even it ended happily... as i see them fading, i wanted to hold on to their rope and just continue playing.... that game is the greatest among... for me

Tbh, I didn't find FFX all that sad when I played it the first time. Replaying it now, though, watching Tidus run around and knowing the ending... yeah, X might just be the saddest.

The opening scenes, with Sin/Jecht and Auron, made me tear up a bit, and FFS, I'm really not "that sort of person". :rolleyes:

I think it's sad, because Tidus knows that he has to vanish, but also that nobody tells Tidus that Yuna is meant to die at the end, not for ages...

This game is one of the saddest?! Heck no O_O'.....I have played games way depressing. and way more effective on your feelings than this one.

Yes, along with the Metal Gear Series. That was the other game that brought me close to tears. Oh god. I'm getting emotional again. OH GOD. WHY, BOSS, WHY?!

I cried tears of blood when Tidus was sent to the farplane. *cry* *cry* *cry*

oh oops.

I cried tears of blood when Tidus was sent to the farplane. *cry* *cry* *cry*

FFX saddest game ever?

have you ever played "bury your dead puppy in the frozen ground"? ok

Spoiler tags aren't much use at this point.

He was obviously doing that as a joke, you fucking oblivious jackass.

quit being mean to people....its not...nice

Digimon vs Pokemon Arena is not a sad game it's awesome so yeah...

Thats kinda off topic but...
I thought FFX was kinda sad but...i have video games that are bigger
tearjerkers than that...

He was obviously doing that as a joke, you fucking oblivious jackass.
I meant the fact that everyone's said it fifty times already. It's rude to call someone an oblivious jackass just out of nowhere. Even more so when it has the word "fucking" in front of it. I'm hurt.

And in case you misinterpret that, there was absolutely no trace of sarcasm, satire, or dry wit in the above statement, though there might be in this one. I don't know.

I find that another sad game is, believe it or not, Manhunt 2. Whenever I play it I get depressed. You always feel so helpless and trapped, it totally freaks me out.

why are u hurt?

why are u hurt?
Oh wow, fast. I just came back to edit my post and add some relevant information on WHY FFX is sad, since this is the FFX board, but since you already posted I think I'll just make a new post instead.

You guys remember when you found out Auron was dead? Yeah. You remember when you beat Jecht and both he and Auron fades away? Yeah. You remember when Tidus is about to hug Yuna, then fades aways as he does a nosedive into the water. Yeah. I pretty much internally sobbed througout that entire period of the game.

Also, most of the characters had really sad stories too, even Kimhari. (I can never get his name right) Tidus was negeleted by his mother because of his father, who disappeared when he was like 8. Auron had to stand by and watch his two best friends die, himself not far behind. Kimahirhirrihiblahblahwhatever was an outcast of his tribe after he ran away when a rival tore his horn off. Yuna barely even knew her parents. Well, you see where I'm going with this.

Still, all of that put together doesn't compare to when The Boss died. T_T

now ur gonna make me cry......*sob*

now ur gonna make me cry......*sob*

Awesome

So then FFX = emo ?_?

Also, Auron being dead the whole time is the coolest thing in the whole game. Seriously, he's the strongest party member and he's a ghost. That is bamf.

I dunno, I thought it was pretty cool killing the zombie water monster boss with Phoenix Downs.

IT'S THE PERFECT REVENGE

To be honest, I think that the saddest part of the game is Seymour. He's such an idiot, but his mother died for him to have an Aeon. He threw that in her face by wanting what he wanted, so it's Seymour's mother I feel more sorry for than anything...

Phoenix downs to kill zombies is cool, but a waste of phoenix downs. You can kill then just as well by fighting them, as we all know hehe

but its a good way of getting rid of them extra pheonix downs ^^

but its a good way of getting rid of them extra pheonix downs ^^
Well a better way is to save them for the fight against Yunalesca. Before that, you can NEVER have too many Phoenix Downs.

Them 99 pheonix downs can burn a hole in my inventory...gotta use them
somehow...

Final fantasy X saddest game ever?not even close, don't get me wrong FFX was a great game but the saddest games i've ever played were persona 3 and onimusha:dawn of dreams, mainly for the endings.

why do the endings always have to be sad....why cant the beginning be sad...or somewhere between beginning and end?
There are games with sad parts in between...

Cuz if the beginning or middle is better than the ending few people would bother playing it to the end.

This is one of the stupidest things I've read here in a long time. And that's some achievement. Just look at the person who posted above you!

How would a person know if the beginning or middle was better than the ending without playing to the end?

Touche. I suppose most people don't really want to know the ending beore the play the game huh?

I usually want to know about a game before I actually play it. I hate playing a game only to find out it sucks balls. For example, I already know that Persona 3 is going to end fantastically with the main character dying, now my only problem is finding the time to actually beat the game.

Yeah it was pretty sad. I probably sheded a tear or two. I never cry over video games or anime though.

It was sad, when i completed it i just wanted to attack unsuspecting members of the public, or perhaps that is my rage issue, anyway it was a cool game and i cried and cried until i died and then i flied and ate my pied then i took a ried in the skied if i only tried :(

It's a pretty sad game. Not very often you see the main character go like that, furthermore, leaving a very strong romance behind.

That being said, I didnt come close to crying at the end. I just think it was sad in hindsight. FFX-2 was pretty lame however. It should not have been so hard to have Yuna and Tidus together at the end. It shouldn't even had optional endings. There should be one ending, get them back together. That's half the reason people bought the game, and you need 100% to make it happen.

well said.

All I can say is - go hang yourself. It is the best RPG ever made, and by far the best FF game.
THIS has to be said if you're saying FFX is saddest in terms of gamer talk.

If you're talking emotionally - then yes. Definitely. The story had a beautiful flow, and the character development was excellent.

it made me tear up. at some parts of the ghem.

Disagree...

As on the topic, no, I laughed the ENTIRE first half through because Tidus is a complete fool most of the game, the game only really gets good when he realizes it's his sort of fate to save Spira and stop staring at Lulu's chest. ><

The ending, yes, was sad. It was all that kept me playing through X-2, but that's about it. I love Yuna's character though. -shrug-

Ah, well. It was sad, that's all that matters. xD

The above fanboys make me sad... then I imagine them roasting over a fire with Satan grinning nearby.


Hi ppl, who thinks FFX is the saddest game ever, who felt something when they beat it??

FFX is the saddest game ever made. I'm sad I waited in line at my game store it was released. I'm sad I handed over the $100.00 AUS to purchase it. I'm sad it was ever played in my PS2 console (My PS2 console filed for divorce from me, because of FFX). I'm sad I wasted time playing it.

However I did feel something akin to rapture when I smashed the case and used the disc as a frizzbee... and watched it fall into a woodchipper at my next door neighbours.

Ahh... it's the simple things in life that are often the best, yes?

When I finished FFVII (sheerly out of need to see if the massive plotholes could be resolved, which they werent) I felt nothing. I kind of just yawned when Aeris died, because I felt no emotional attachment with the game's annoying characters.

But X has been a different story. Although I have yet to complete it (I'm at the final battle now, just conjuring a strategy to beat him) throughout the entire game, it's been like the ultimate dystopia with no hope for resolution. I see how Spira gets its name. The "Spiral of Death", which is exactly what it is. Truly, X has the most depressing story in the series. It's true that VI is a close second, where the villain manages to destroy the world, separate the heroes, and become a demigod-like force atop a mighty tower, the heroes still win in the end. But here, from the SPOILERS I keep seeing, it doesn't look like X is going to have a very encouraging ending. Still, I'm anxious to see the results of my actions in beating this game :D At least it sounds like X-2 clears up whatever happens at the end of this game, I just won't be playing that one as it basically turns two of my favorite characters (Yuna and Rikku) into prostitutes.

Its the only game i ever cryied in my life especialy X-2(With perfect ending..)...........

God I hate the perfect ending. The best ending is the 'worst ending' where Tidus doesn't come back!

OMG...first game to ever almost make me cry. They had to make a sequel after that cause I was sad and disappointed....although the sequel could've been a bit better.

This game is great but the ending is sad. The plot as a whole was wonderful in my opinion. Lot's of twists and turns and the graphics were awesome for it's time.

But Tidus fading away was heartbreaking. I have to admit I suspected Auron being dead/undead but Tidus being just a dream was not something I was prepared for. *sniffs*

It almost made me cry as well. The creators of this really know how to pull on your heart strings that's for sure. My entire household was on the edge of their seat as I played this game.

As far as X-2 goes...I never did finish it. I didn't care for the setup so yes, I agree, it could have been better.

I agree, the game is pretty sad. It seemed fairly neutral up until near the end when tidus learns the truth about himself.

X-2 repelled that with the 'good' ending (as long as you didn't get the 'best' ending which is dull). X-2 sucks, but is only good if you want to cheer up from the sad ending of X.

I wish there wasn't an X-2 but if there HAD to be an X-2, I wish they had taken the time to make a good sequel rather than this mediocre one they put solely because people needed closure as soon as possible.

FFX was quite sad, the Music of master nobuo played a huge role in that.
But i think Silent hill 2 is sadest game ever (overdose delusion)

why do the endings always have to be sad....why cant the beginning be sad...or somewhere between beginning and end?
There are games with sad parts in between...

Always? Name me one other FF up until X that had a sad ending.

Always? Name me one other FF up until X that had a sad ending.

Uh brah....7, 8, and 9 all had sad endings.

Wait...by sad you meant not sad right?


RIGHT?!

FFVII was 'Yay, the pansy with the white hair is dead!'
FFVIII was 'Yay, the pansy with the weird hair is dead!'
FFIX was 'Yay, the pansy with the purple hair is dead!'
FFX was 'Yay, the pansy behind it all is dead!'

FFXI Online is "Yay, that boss has been defeated....oh you're fucking kidding me! A new fucking expansion!"

Sorry, had to. ;)

FFVII was 'Yay, the pansy with the white hair is dead!'
FFVIII was 'Yay, the pansy with the weird hair is dead!'
FFIX was 'Yay, the pansy with the purple hair is dead!'

I lol'd at the last one. But I must say that the situation itself was pretty sad. Imagine you being in that situation.

i lol'd at that one too.

TBH, I thought that was the funniest thing in that whole game.

me too Greg man.

I really should've thought before I posted that; I've never even beaten VIII or V before. But I thought IX had a good ending :O And VII's, while pretty open-ended, leads you to believe it's gonna be sad, but then things turn out okay (I thought). Then again, I've only beaten VII once, so my memory's a little foggy on the ending. :O

TBH, I thought that was the funniest thing in that whole game.

I was thinking "well, that sucks" during that part. But despite Tidus being a whiney little bitch in the beginning, he went through a lot of changes in the game. Something most characters in FF games don't really do. And while I think about it, I'd say that FFX is one of the better FF games out there (granted, I've only beaten it once).

There was nothing about FFX which I could really concern myself with. Nothing to grab hold and keep me interested in the characters and their story. There were some areas I did get a chortle out of (Biran and Yenke taunting Kimahri for one), but they were offset by things which made me stop and say "What the fuck?" (Using Blitzball as a example here).

I'm not saying that it's not a enjoyable game or that some people love it. Just that I was saddened by spending 100$AUSD on something which I got nothing out of.

I agree that Tidus is one of the characters in the FF series who undergoes the most change, probably only next to Cecil from IV, and Squall from VIII. All of the other characters in the series are primarily the same the whole way through. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just part of who they are.

But as for X's ending, that really struck a chord with me :O Every FF I've beaten has had a nice cheery ending where everybody lives happily ever after, but then I beat X and suddenly things change :O

Also about X, I found that Yu Yevon being a complete and total wuss is definitely laughable, but not totally without logic; after all, he needs Sin to protect him, right? A lot of people say he's just a joke battle; well, yea, he is, but it wouldn't make much sense for him to be too terribly strong when he's had to use Sin to do all the dirty work for him.

IMO, the Jecht battle was so important in the game, I'm glad they didn't follow that one up with another tough boss fight. The Yu Yevon fight is all about the releasing of the Aeons from their sleep, and in fact is move interactive movie than game, seeing as how you can't die. ;)

I'm probably late on this discussion but I don't think nor ever have thought of X as being the saddest final fantasy, if it's in terms of the ending (concerning Tidus) (edit: I just remembered about the Ronsos)I can think of several FFs that 'could' be considered the saddest: (i'm not trying to seem like a "know-it-all" smartass.)

II should already have an award in this category, most of your guest members meet an unfortunate end: Josef, Minwu, etc.

for IV, Lots of unfortunate happenings here, Rydia's mother is killed, Tellah's daughter dies, then he dies, the guests like in II all made sad yet heroic sacrifices...i guess that counts.

for VI there's Cyan's family dying, Locke's sweetheart, Terra lived a pretty shitty life iirc

then there's the others...I think it is mainly a preference since all of the FF's (ttbomk) "could" qualify, imo I was more touched by the tragedies in IV than the ones in X though it doesn't that I don't think Seymour Guano (joke) isn't a bastard.

Truly a remarkable game despite the sad ending and horrible sequel following it. As a game designer i have respect for this game because if you think the video games for playstation 2 when it first release or better yet the previous final fantasy before X, you can tell this game has more detail and alot of work went it to it. Gameplay, Environment, Characters, and an amazing Soundtrack.

Any FF ending can arguably be the saddest, same with the soundtracks (I honestly didn't find X soundtrack to be all that great). But the FF endings usually do have a "happy ending" despite what happened during the game and X did break that mold...sort of. It broke that mold as in the love story didn't have the happy ending (unlike VIII or IX), but arguably the same can be said for VII. It all depends on how you view it I guess, but I certainly did not find X to be the saddest in the series.

I haven't beaten or even played all of the FF games so I won't say whether this ending was the saddest or not. But I do think it was kind of depressing.

I haven't encountered much of a sad ending in any FF game, there have been some 'sad' things have happened in them, but overall they came across to me as rather... 'meh'. The Sony Generation of FF's, seem to have been tailored more for the younger generation of players, or people new to the series.

The FF series features much sacrifice and inevitably a lot of characters who wind up dead, but I always felt that the end typically solidifies the outcome of their sacrifice in a way that just wouldn't have hit home had they stayed around. Take FFII for example. Almost everyone the party travels with finds an early demise at some point. However (speaking as someone who has only played the Dawn of Souls remake), they all come back together in the afterlife to help vanquish the villain once and for all. They're not just gone forever; their battle continues. In FFIV, the same thing happens, only most of the characters who we believed were dead make a return later on. And those who did die help the player from the afterlife (another similarity between the games that I should add to my thread about that, wherever it is). Now, I suppose the thing that makes FFX so much more of an emotional and lasting experience is that even though Tidus comes across as a naive and clumsy character at first, he changes probably the most out of any main character in the entire series. Sure you had Squall from FFVIII, who undergoes quite the transformation as his journey goes on, but Tidus seems to leave the most impression on us as the player when his adventure comes to a shocking close at the end. It's the ultimate sacrifice; he knows he's not going to make it to see another day with his friends after they've stopped the world's terror in its tracks, but yet he never once complains about it, he just takes it as an inevitability and proceeds with his task. Of course, you have to be one of those people who doesn't let his annoyingly youthful nature for the majority of the game get to you, like I didn't. I guess it's just that I share a lot of his personality traits and would probably react no differently than he given his circumstances. So with all of this in mind, seeing this character who the players has led on an epic journey, met lots of allies with, and watched grow and develop into someone bigger and better than they were to start with, suddenly lose the right to see the outcome of their actions can make for a rather disheartening experience when all is said and done. The same can be said for Crisis Core. I suppose it would have little difference if it were one of FFIV's many characters we were following across their entire journey that ends with their demise. FFX may end on a sad note, but it sure hits home in every way (imo).

I remember I was able to fool myself into believing that FFX had a happy ending, but FFX-2 ruined it and just for that it deserves to be hated.

ff7 was i believe to be sadder. hell when Aerith dies, that sucked, shed a tear :(

I shed a . . . shrug, when Aeris/th died. She annoyed the hell outta me the whole game, and I was glad to see her gone!

Yuna on the other hand, was a female lead I could and would stand behind. Heh.

Yuna on the other hand, was a female lead I could and would stand behind. Heh.

Yeah... we know exactly what you mean lmao

Wh, whaaaaaaat? Are you naughtifying my simple notion of . . . of . . . being there for Yuna? You pervert! Heh ;)

nah..it had to be FFVII when Aerlith/Aeris was killed.Way worse imo.

nah..it had to be FFVII when Aerlith/Aeris was killed.Way worse than fingernails on a chalkboard imo.

IMO Final Fantasy Tactics was much more depressing than FFX.

Tactics was a grim tale as well, but X captures the bittersweetness a lot better.

Played Tactics a few times... could never really get into it.

FFX bittersweet? Maybe... guess I'm just biased against the PS2 versions of FF. From my perspective, the series ended with IX.

Greg, You just don't like Tidus is what it is ;D I can understand why, and I guess I find him a great character because he and I are a lot alike (so much so it's scary :O) but you'd probably have gotten a lot more enjoyment out of the game than you realize if Tidus hadn't been as . . . flamboyant as he is.

I really should've thought before I posted that; I've never even beaten VIII or V before. But I thought IX had a good ending :O And VII's, while pretty open-ended, leads you to believe it's gonna be sad, but then things turn out okay (I thought). Then again, I've only beaten VII once, so my memory's a little foggy on the ending. :O

Play and beat VIII. Right now. My favorite Final Fantasy. And on topic, I wasn't a big fan of Tidus at all early on, but the game grew on me. The ending was pretty sad, I watch it on youtube every once in a while.

No, it's not just Tidus as why I hate this game. He is one of the reasons I hate the game. The others: Weak story, unlikable characters (only three made it any good (Auron, Lulu and Kimahri), the rest of the party and even the NPC's were weak and lacklustre) and I didn't like the gameplay either. Add in the most unbelievable mini game ever conceived (IE: Blitzball), as well as the damn sphere grid, and this game does absolutely nothing for me. IMO (and I don't care what anyone else has to say regarding this), FFX marked the beginning of the end for SE.

The ending was definately one of the saddest in video game history. Even though it was somewhat predictable after a certain point in the game and was a bit on the short side, it was damn beautiful. I don't want to spoil it, but Yuna's "I love you" nearly brought a tear to my eye.

I know I bawled like a baby when the ending I didn't want to see was happening right in front of my eyes... at that time I was just 17, and it was the saddest game I ever played because it actually had me feeling so distraught and heartbroken. Maybe I'm saying this because I was a big Tidus fan back then, but I also felt it for Yuna who deserved her happy ending.

I'm with you all the way, NellieK. It's a sad ending, but bittersweet because they did successfully save their world :)

sad game?

It is. In fact, it was the first game that made me actually cry I still do too.

It is very sad, but FFVII: Crisis Core was sadder.
However, it did leave me crying like a baby. And the story stays with you waaaaaaay after you finish the game.
Actually it didn't upset me as much that Tidus goes away, than the way Yuna was feeling at the end. And whenever Yuna cried, I cried. Especially in Macalania and at the end. It was very sad.
But then again, every Square game I've played is.
