Except they don't find her in the prison. She isn't there-- she's already been taken away, being whisked to Bevelle for the false wedding.

Wow, it's been longer than I thought since I've played it. But the scene I'm trying to refer to is when Tidus finds out what the Pilgrimage is all about for Yuna, and I could've sworn that he learns about that in the prison in Home.

Oh, well that one was already nominated by Zak.

Oh well darn. I don't have a fifth nomination to replace it then since most things I can think of were already mentioned.

Well if you don't mind then, I'll just pick the last one.

Destruction of Home (Cid and Brother singing then the FMV of the nuking)

And that is 32. I'll start the Rumble sometime later today.

Yeah, that's a good scene-- glad it's being included. Looking forward to the start of the rumble!

Alright, let's get this started!

As with the FFIX Rumble, I just wrote the different things on pieces of paper and picked them out of a hat. So original I know.

RikkU Freaking out on the Thunder Plains

Being hit by a Thunder spell left a lasting effect on cute little Rikku. So crossing a long open area that has unceasing lightning bolts hitting the ground must be like an arachnophobic having spiders dumped on them.
You can see both scenes of her "freaking out" here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8l4PgBejKc)

vs.

Yuna's Wedding

A strong contender in this Rumble, I think. This scene has it all - drama, action and the first decent graphics kiss in FF history! Oh and don't forget the epic music.
You can see it all here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea6hfCIFU8k) and here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsEN6hjkJHE)

Yuna's Wedding

Yuna's Wedding

Yuna's Wedding.

Yuna's Wedding

Yeah, same here, it has to be Yuna's Wedding.

Rikku Freaking out on the Thunder Plains

Eh heh heh heh heh heh heh... :3

but Yuna's Wedding is not far behind. Really tough choice it was.

Edit:

Actually, after seeing both of these scenes after long time since playing, I changed my mind. Yuna's Wedding scene is awesome. My first choice was based on how I remember them, sorry for the confusion.

Yuna's Wedding I don't know about everyone else but i'm putting my money on Yuna's Wedding for this round

Yuna's Wedding is pretty awesome.

Yuna's Wedding

Yuna's Wedding

Yuna's Wedding is pretty awesome.

Yuna's Wedding 11
Rikku Freaking Out: 0

A brutal but unsurprising outcome for our first match.

Next battle!

The Laughing Scene

This is probably one of Final Fantasy X's most known and talked about scenes. And for all the wrong reasons.
English or Japanese, this exercise in stupidity continues to make people Facepalm across the globe.
Though some will steadfastly argue it was supposed to be this retarded so it's not that bad.
...sure why not.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU8-e-C4Uy0)

vs.

Can I Shake Your Hand?

This scene is memorable for a couple reasons. in the Antechamber from the Djose Chamber of the Fayth, the party again encounters Summoner Dona and her Guardian, Barthello. The previously silent and frankly stupid looking muscle man speaks and shows his respect for Auron.
The other special thing about this scene is a rare glimpse of Auron being genuinely amused and smiling.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGP6piIAdho)

Can I Shake Your Hand?

Can I Shake Your Hand?

The laughing scene kills a little piece inside of me every time I get up to that point in the game.

Can I Shake your Hand?

Can I Shake Your Hand?

Can I Shake Your Hand?

Can I Shake Your Hand? - once again putting my money on Can I Shake Your Hand? Anyone dare to bet against me? I'm putting $1 AUS on the table! Thats like 90c US at the moment oh yeah.

Oh and if Tidus Laughing gets through I might have to go and hang my self

Can I Shake Your Hand?

Can I Shake Your Hand? 9
The Laughing Scene 0

Ouch. I at least expected the Laughing Scene to get one or two votes for irony's sake if nothing else.
Ah well.

Next fight!

You can't Do it Kid!

This is the alternate scene that happens if you fail to perform the Jecht Shot on the trip to Luca from Killika. Overall everything is the same but there are a few nice little differences and I think it fits more in with Tidus' character to be overpowered by his mental demons at this point.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kipRSiCrlKY)
Sorry i couldn't actually find a clip of him failing to do the shot. it's just what happens right after.

vs.

The Legend Lives

Who's that sexy hunk of man with the shades, red trenchcoat and booze?
Why it's Auron of course. After losing him back in "Zanarkand" we don't see him for quite a while. I must say that, like everything else Auron-related, his re-entrance to the story is badass beyond belief.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJkHdzXrIVw)

The Legend Lives

Nothing can't beat Auron's awesome stance. That's one of the best scenes in the game.

The Legend Lives

The Legend Lives

The Legend Lives.

Looks like we could have another blowout. The Legend Lives

The Legend Lives obviously.

You can't Do it Kid!

I think I get a 10 for originality =D .

So far..

The Legend Lives If i earn't $1 every time I put money on something in this thread i would have *counts on fingers*...$3!

The Legend Lives

The Legend Lives obviously.

Whaat I would have voted for the laughing scene :(

The Legend Lives, I guess.

The Legend Lives: 11
You Can't Do it Kid!: 1

Despite Seryer's originality, conformity and popularity reign supreme.

Next fight!

Confrontation with Seymour at Macalania

Seymour is evil! I had no idea!
...
So yes, after seeing Jyscal's Sphere (which is a separate contender in this Rumble in case you're wondering) the party goes to confront Seymour in the Antechamber of Macalania Temple. Yuna soon appears and decides to join them in fighting a leader of the Yevon faith. The party kills the good Maester and he dies in a Not Symbolic At All way.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHJmL6M1t5U)

vs.

Destruction of Home

More specifically, it's ultimate destruction. The Guado and their fiends did enough damage that the Al Bhed's haven was done for so their leader, Cid, decided to take out Home and all the monsters in it with our new airship. A great moment filled with both emotion and awesome.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EmA3uTgw_4)

------------------------
I think (and hope) this will be our first good fight.

Confrontation with Seymour at Macalania


Not too fond of either scene though.

Confrontation with Seymour at Macalania

Destruction of Home

Confrontation with Seymour at Macalania

Just 'cause I love Shiva.

Don't like either but hey - Destruction of Home

EDIT

Confrontation With Seymour at Maclania

Destruction of Home

Destruction of Home

Confrontation with Seymour at Macalania

Just because I like how they went against a powerful figure in Spira. And I love Shiva. If it wasn't for that, the Destruction of Home would've been my vote.

Destruction of Home

Just 'cause I love airships. ~

Oh, we got a tie! Guess I'll step in here then and flaunt my powerz.

I vote for Confrontation with Seymour at Macalania.

Which makes it...
Confrontation with Seymour at Macalania: 6
Destruction of Home: 5

Despite the lack of enthusiasm for two of the best moments in the game, we had our first close match.

Moving on...

A Ronso Stands Tall

Kimahri runs into his big brother and his friend at a couple locations before the party reaches Mt. Gagazet. His brother Biran apparently is the one who took his horn many years ago and he and Yanke seem to think Kimahri is small Ronso. Kimahi proves his strength by defeating them all on his own and thus concluding his little subplot.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sONR_DhGPpk)

vs.

The Beginning & The End

After you click Start the game opens up on a scene you won't really understand. Some people are gathered around a fire and there's a really nice piano playing in the background. Then someoen tells you to listen to their story....this may be their last chance.
The next time you see this scene is indeed the end of them telling the story and everything makes sense now. With the knowledge you've gained since the first time you saw this, you've come to understand why the characters are so despairing and hopelessness.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHGWU8ZQzDQ)

A Ronso Stands Tall

The Beginning & The End

Wow, to think that I almost voted the other contender since I failed at quoting lol.

I think The Beginning and the End has more significance for me.

BIRAN REND YOU ASSUNDER!!!!!!

A Ronso Stands Tall

NEVER FORGET!

The Beginning and The End

The beginning and the end no contest

The Beginning & The End: 9
A Ronso Stands All: 4

Unsurprising outcome. Kimahri's epic moment was not epic enough it seems.

Next up!

Yuna's Speech

Well Sin, Auron and Tidus are all gone. Yuna is left behind as pretty much the messiah of Spira. Before she even gives the speech though we see her whistling fruitlessly on the dock as Tidus told her he'd always come if she whistled...
As for the speech itself, best if you hear it.
Watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZxW94Zb3U4)

vs.

Operation Mi'Hen's Failure

The Al Bhed and the Crusader's brave but futile attempt to stop Sin ends with pretty much everyone being killed. Though they used cannons and chocobo-mounted knights, their trump card was to blast Sin with some giatn laser machina. Unfortunately, Sin's forcefield > machina and all is lost.
You can watch the FMV of the failure and the aftermath here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzDZai4Wr0U)

Operation Mi'hen's Failure. Easily.

Yuna's Speech

Operation Mi'ihen's Failure: 7
Yuna's Speech: 2

Well Yuna's send-off to the game got a couple votes in at least.

Next fight!

After Suteki da Ne

After Yuna's breakdown she gets a nice kiss from Tidus to make up for the bad one Seymour gave her. This kiss luckily helped her out of her funk and she rebuilds her resolve to vanquish Sin.
You can watch it all here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZAwkwUovfI)

vs.

Lulu's Final Farewell

I thought that was a nice title... Not sure what else to call this.
If you choose to go to the optional Gavern of the Stolen Fayth, you are rewarded with an aeon and some backstory for Lulu. Apparently another summoner she guarded died in the Cavern and has come to haunt it as an Unsent. Lulu performs her last act as Guardian for her former summoner.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub5t8wnS_dA)

After Suteki da Ne

Lulu's Final Farewell

I'm actually not a fan of the other one.

Lulu's Final Farewell

I hate romantic kiss scenes.

After Suteki da Ne

I'm not a huge fan of both scenes, but the kissing moment isn't all that impressive.

Lulu's Final Farewell!

After Suteki da Ne: 6
Lulu's Final Farewell: 4

A respectable showing for Lulu sending her former Guardian but Yuna's resolve wins.

Next fight.

Bevelle Trial

The ultimate and definitive scene showing how corrupt Yevon is. Also our first introduction to the final Maester, Kelk Ronso. Yuna and her Guardians are sentenced to death for questioning the "truths" of Spira. Namely that Spira is damned to misery for eternity.
Also contains the part where Kelk is mortified by hearing Seymour killed his own father. Seymour however just replies "hm? Haven't you heard?"
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PChzc2hj4vc)

vs.

Jecht's Sphere

To be more specific, the first and only mandatory Jecht Sphere. Auron makes this little detour on the way to meeting up with Seymour at Macalania Temple. it's our first real insight into Jecht as more than a drunken lout.
Well he wasn't that bad a guy as seen in Tidus' flashback at the Farplane but this goes a long way to making you feel for the guy.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzIlObzkPN8)

Bevelle Trial

Bevelle Trial

Bevelle Trial

Jecht's Sphere

Bevelle Trial

Bevelle Trial, neat plot point! The Jecht Sphere scene is also nice and all, but just not as neat.

Jecht Sphere

Hmm, had I been paying attention, Lulu's farewell would have had another vote.

As for now, hard choice but Bevelle Trial.

Bevelle Trial

Again, sorry for the late update.

Bevelle Trial: 8
Jecht's Sphere: 2

Unsurprising outcome. Bevelle Trial is probably one of the most awesome plot related scenes in teh game.

Next battle!

Confronting Yunalesca

I'd bet hard money this gets to the Semi Finals at the very least. This epic moment is when Yuna and the party fully cast off their beliefs in Yevon, the Final Summoning and everything.
Auron steals the spotlight by showing his valiant but futile attempt to strike down Yunalesca as well as his "now! This is it!" Everyone else also gets a "Determination Line".
You can watch it here. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvAXzNf5OHo)

vs.

Just Pretend

The party's first real interaction with Seymour. Seymour gives a reallying speech to the gathered Crusaders then talks with Yuna and company again. Most memorable for the "then pretend..." lines Seymour says.

Confronting Yunalesca

Confronting Yunalesca

I second what TAE said about this one making the semi-finals. In fact I bet all of my posts that it does make the semi-finals.

This is no question one of my favourite scenes ever; I even had a save file dedicated to replaying it for me.

Just Pretend

It actually might be a scene, that I remember the best after years since playing the game, without checking on youtube. So bonus for that , though I will probably be the only one to vote for it :)

Confronting Yunalesca

Confronting Yunalesca

But I don't know about it making the finals... considering I was stuck on her for a week and you can't skip scenes in X and it's mad long, the amount of times having to sit through it...

But I don't know about it making the finals... considering I was stuck on her for a week and you can't skip scenes in X and it's mad long, the amount of times having to sit through it...

I think that'd be silly, true that was annoying but it shouldn't lose because of that imo.

Confronting Yunalesca: 9
Just Pretend: 1

Another unsurprising outcome.

Jyscal's Sphere

SEYMOUR IS EVIL!
...okay you probably guessed that already. Still, this was the turning point when teh protagonists finally discovered it. This short but very awesome scene - helped by the music no doubt - shows Seymour's father who was killed by Seymour. Actually, if you read up on how Jyscal banished Seymour and his mother to Baaj Temple, I can't blame Seymour...
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcTLJqPA0wQ) Skip to 2:50

vs.

Anima's Fayth

That's right, it's Seymour's other parent. His loving mother transformed herself into a Final Aeon so her son may defeat Sin and thus gain acceptance. He'd be dead and thus wouldn't be able to enjoy that acceptance but it was a nice gesture.\
Sadly, as she says, Anima wasn't enough. he wanted more...more power.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A91V36lJzQI) Skip to 6:00.

Anima's Fayth

Anima's Fayth

One of my favourite scene(s) from the game.

Jyscal's Sphere by 3409820420937483047283094824 times.

Anima's fayth is cool but seriously? Compared to that? That's just when the story stopped being boring.

Jyscal's Sphere

Jyscal's Sphere: 5
Anima's Fayth: 4

Close tie but Seymour's daddy beats his mommy. Er...well, you know what I mean.

Rikku the New Guardian

Well the first character we meet after coming to Spira is actually the last person to join the main party. 15-year-old Rikku is Yuna's cousin, a genius with items and a totally fine piece of ass.
I feel no shame in saying that as the creators felt no shame in the first part of this scene.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1WcOKodzTg)
P.S. Does anyone else think Tidus sounds disappointed that she's not dead at first?

vs.

The Farplane

A far more dramatic moment. We heard through the entire game about where people go after they die and then..we go there. Sort of. In Guadosalam, Tidus and Yuna both come to realizations about their parnets and what they will do now.
Also we learn Chappu actually looks nothing like Tidus. So go figure.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOuRaFJWBwg)

The Farplane

Not every scene where you get to see a girls ass deserves to win.

This.

The Farplane. such beautiful graphics... my respect for the designers who designed the concept and plot of this game.

The Farplane.

The Farplane

The Farplane: 11
Rikku, the New Guardian: 0

To quote Rikku "owie". Didn't expect such a horrible stomp.
Also, as far as I'm aware, this is the ONLy clip prominently featuring a girl's ass in this Rumble. Ah well.

Next fight!

The Sending

The first sending witnessed in the game and the only one given the high quality cutscene treatment. After a good portion of Killika is wiped out, Yuna sends their restless spirits to the Farplane.
Also featured is one of the many variations of the Hymn of the Fayth. This is one of my favorite versions.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJPhSapqRtw)

vs.

Zanarkand Metropolis

Another beautiful sequence that has a bit of plot significance. This one is features the (SPOILERS) actual Zanarkand of a 1000 years ago. It also is the catalyst for Seymour to talk about Yunalesca and thus get the conversation over to the topic of marriage.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cQoLSeoP2s)

oh man zanarkand metropolis IS a memorable scene, yuna and everyone travelling through space and time to experience zanarkand. i cant forget how yuna marvelled as she flew through the galaxy.

BUT unfortunately i dun think it can match The Sending, which is one of the best scenes in the game, if not the best. sorry for the metropolis scene but my vote will have to go to The Sending.

The Sending

Zanarkand Metropolis

The Sending

The Sending

Sending all the way. Although I did LOVE Zanarkand Metropolis.

Zanarkand Metropolis

Zanarkand Metropolis

The Sending

The Sending: 4
Zanarkand Metropolis: 3

Close but no cigar for the flashy FMV that really doesn't do anything except serve as eye candy.

Next fight!

Yuna's Sphere

This is an item Yuna drops just before the party travel down to Zanarkand. Tidus picks it up and listens to what is essentially Yuna's will or I guess just a recording of her telling everyone how she feels. Really a nice and powerful bit to further drive home Yuna's sacrifice.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ukik_29Un2w)

vs.

The Truth Revealed

In Home's Summoner Sanctum, Rikku finally clues Tidus in at how Yuna's journey will end. It will end when she summons the Final Aeon and defeats Sin...
Then said Final Aeon wil kill Yuna as well.
Everyone knew except our hero who is understandably distraught.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-R6pYSjYmA)

----------------------

Ya know, I usually don't count my own vote unless there's a tie but this is the one time I feel compelled to vote right now. I vote for The Truth Revealed because, no matter what haters say, it has an emotional power that makes it one of the most effective scenes in FF history. And this is coming from a guy who couldn't care less about both Yuna and Tidus.

Damn, they're both good, but I'll put in another for The Truth Revealed.

The Truth Revealed

Damn I wish these two weren't paired so early XD .

it has an emotional power that makes it one of the most effective scenes in FF history.

Couldn't agree more with the above, which is why it has to be The Truth Revealed for me!

One more for The Truth Revealed - has always been one of my favourite FFX scenes.

Both great but, The Truth Revealed

The Truth Revealed

The Truth Revealed: 7
Yuna's Will: 0

Sadly for Yuna she got pit against a real contender to win the whole thing. No shame in losing to one of the most memorable scenes in the whole franchise's history.

Next fight.

Shoopuf!

After a somber scene that foreshadows the sorrowful end of Yuna's Pilgrimage, we cut to some comedy.
All I can is...ride ze shoopuf?
You can watch the scene here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drat_qea52g) (skip to about 1:50 for the actual Shoopuf part)

vs.

All Just A Dream

Of slightly greater plot significance than the SHoopuf maybe but with none of the humor.
We learn all about who and what Tidus really is and why his Zanarkand is not the same as the one the party is so close to.
You can watch it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tTEnejLPCI)
