Final Fantasy X was a huge game when it released on the PlayStation 2 and given how vast it is, there are so many interesting stories that came out of its creation. Not only that, but there also plenty of fun pieces of trivia to be found in the game itself that are quite subtle and may easily have been missed!

Within this video, we've got 7 different facts about Final Fantasy X (inc. FFX HD), ranging from a story-arch that was planned for Tidus that ended up being used on Auron, through to something most people probably don't know about the game's voice acting!

FFX has some of the most beautiful game music ever.

The summons in this game was by far the best system in the series, they should have kept it

I'm glad Auron remained a separate character from Jecht. Older characters who serve as surrogates and mentors are interesting archetypes I personally like seeing in media, especially JRPGs. Badass characters are almost always depicted as gruff or independent, but fatherly or motherly figures with pasts outside of the plot come across as stronger and far more relatable to me. Auron's arc in particular resonates with me; his sudden outburst when he confronts Yunalesca for the second time hits hard. The fact that Auron honors his word to Braska and Jecht out of brotherhood and self-accountability rather than blood relation makes Auron's character who he is, in addition to his excellent voice actor and writing.
Aside from Matt McKenzie, Hedy Burress and JAT make this game for me. Wouldn't be the same without Hedy's giggle or Tidus's ponderous monologues.

I loved the battle system in this game. It was perfect. Too bad everyone is slobbering over action RPGs and hate turn base.

Who else remembers being up at 3 in the morning on a saturday trying to keep count of all the lightning bolts you dodged.

[magikush]

I cannot believe how well this game holds up to this day, it’s beautiful.

Offhand observation here, but man... that shot at the end of the video of Tidus in the water looking up with the grin on his face is still really striking! No wonder they used it as the game cover (at least in the U.S.). All the color blue and the ruins in the background is just a really, really beautiful shot. I haven't seen it in a long time, and it's really cool.

This is one of the best ffx facts you didn’t know ive seen in a long time. For once I didn’t know about any of them. Easily my favourite ffx game. Thanks man.

[Nick-rwjo]

This game changed my childhood. I still play it on my PS-4 absolutely love it.

[shizbang]

I love FFX, my first foray into the FF series and my favorite game of all time.

[manthedan]

Yeah, Lulu's victory pose really adds to her character.

[edcano]

Earth: auron is a pateint, tactical, nurturing figure who was the backbone of the group.
Mercury: Wakka likes blitzball

I find it funny that they wanted to cast nobodies, but JAT, Tara Strong, and John DiMaggio became some of the biggest voice actors of the century.

[Pissoff]

I came in expecting to know all the facts as I've watched several "# facts you didn't know about FFX" videos...I knew none of them. Excellent research. Thank you.

[taxithao]

JAT is Tidus and even in one of his YouTube video he thanks Jack for casting him in that role. I think this was his breakout role and now he well know VA. I love his Obi Wan but James Arnold Taylor is alway Tidus to me and he always happy to come back to voice him.

Legend says, fans of FFX still sing the Hymn of Fayth till date... So do I..

[Apollo-Computers]

I cried at the end of this game, so good. Miss games like this.

[gentlefistinfinity]

I absolutely love this game. I literally cried at the ending of the game. Still my most prized PS2 game.

[Coreisus]

If you pay attention, most victory poses, especially by blade weilding characters, in any jrpg, they're less posing and more shaking the blood off their blades.

Even as exagerated as they are in some cases, you can still see it.

Cloud's sword spin is a good example
