[PS3] Final Fantasy X HD Remaster: Tidus and Yuna - Kissing Scene

Best Final Fantasy couple ever!

[BlongTreyLo]

Love this game, gave my ps4 HD Remaster to a friend cus he never played it and he changed Tidus' name to "fkboy"...
Piss me off seeing people play old game with disrespect. If they played it when it first came out, it is fkn gold. Story was perfect, great iconic characters, music, everything. Nowadays stupid kids like my friend cant enjoy such gold. FFX is a masterpiece considering it ran on the ps2 with few games that looking that good.

this is probably the most romantic kiss in a video that i've ever seen. It's innocent and pure love without the expectation of a sex scene.

I had a friend growing up in elementary school who always used to call me her Tidus. Sadly, She passed away from leukemia long before this remake came out. Whenever I see this scene, I always think of her.

[latefordinner]

She knew she was going to die but still apologizes for the inconvenience to everyone. That part was heartfelt

I was 16 when I first watched this scene. Now I'm 34 and I'm still so obsessed with it. Final Fantasy was and will always be my favorite game.

This game was ahead of its time when it was release. It trully made you feel like the characters were actual living people

[FeltLuckyMe]

“I can’t. I...just can’t” The line with the delivery perfectly captured how Yuna has been harboring those feelings. Her emotions finally bursted. This still breaks me.

Seems like Tidus is a better kisser than Seymour

There is a lot to this scene that I feel like is lost on people.

In the leadup to the FMV, Tidus and Yuna havent had a chance to speak to each other since escaping Macalania Temple after killing Seymour the first time, so a lot has happened since then

Tidus has since learned the truth about the summoner's pilgrimage, and is basically up to speed on how Spira works, and has been feeling massive guilt for talking about a time after her pilgrimage. He has also come to terms with his feelings for her, Seymour having clearly brought that into focus with his attempt to marry her.

Yuna on the other hand has since been betrayed by her religion, and is in the middle of a huge crisis of faith. Everything she believed was torn down right in front of her. Her attempt to do what was right in the name of Yevon was met with a death sentence from the high court of Yevon. She is at her breaking point.

After Tidus' heartfelt apology, they indulge in this fantasy, this idea of quitting the pilgrimage and just going to Tidus' Zanarkand

It's this scene that makes me think Yuna doesn't actually believe Tidus' Zanarkand is real, and that she only pretends to believe in it to make Tidus feel better. It's kind of her thing to smile when people are sad, and as Kimhari tells us in Mushroom Rock, the sadder people are, the harder Yuna tries. The thing that makes me think this is she breaks down while he is describing his Zanarkand to her. She knows she can't go there. She knows she can't escape from what she believes is her fate. She can't pretend anymore.

One of the selling points for this game on the back of the original case was the detailed facial expressions, and Yuna is the picture for that caption. Her character is expressed so much through facial expressions and reactions, you really have to pay attention to understand her. Most of what you learn about Yuna is from other people telling you what to look for. Auron tells you she is easy to read, serious to a fault, and doesn't ask for help. Kimhari tells you about her tendency to cheer people up. She herself even teaches Tidus how to smile when he is sad, which is really showing her hand.

All of her humanizing scenes like this happen around Tidus. Around everyone else she is "Lady Summoner". But Tidus is just Jecht's kid. She knows he has experienced the same loss that she has. In her mind, they are equals. And she is more willing to open up around him. After the FMV, the way she talks to him feels so unguarded, so vulnerable, possibly for the first time in the entire game.

People love to trash this game's voice acting but honestly Tidus and Yuna's voice actors absolutely sell this scene perfectly. One of the things Golden Age Squaresoft did better than anybody were these sorts of scenes. Other RPG romantic plots just feel so corny and cringy, but a lot of the dialog here just feels so natural, it flows so well, and this was the pinnacle of that era, the Zenith.

Even when I watched this scene as an un-empathetic teenager 20 years ago, and didn't process a fraction of the context of it all, I felt that it was important. Watching it now as an adult, I feel like I understand it so much more and like it even more. It's a beautiful scene in a lot of ways.

When I was 13 playing FFX, the moment Yuna said "I can't. I just can't." I teared up. 10 years later, It's still the same effect.

6:11
*NOW* this is what I call a *glow-up*

[MitsukiAG]

I think what struck me with this scene, and probably a lot of people that were my age at the release of the game (aka, start of puberty), is the explosion of feelings coming from my own heart. There is such a build up to this moment of "ahh, I finally kissed her". And I think anybody who kissed their crush for the first time can imagine how those felt :)

[rubicolin]

Tidus is the only male character who is straight forward. The others are shy, introverted, loners.

[jieadee]

I played this on 2002 which is 17 years ago and I kept a slot in my memory card just for this scene.

I only realized now that on 7:50 onwards, the second kiss showed that this time, it was Yuna who wanted it. The way she wrapped her arms around Tidus' neck and leaned forward signifies how she enjoyed the kiss so much that she wanted it a second time.

[DanielKth]

I cried to this scene as a 35 year old man. as an adult, you can have all you want. money, relationship, booze, whatever. but you can never get back your innocence like these two. I know I am being corny but it just reminded me of what I was missing in life.

[Raydnt]

When Yuna held hands with him at the end she also held onto my heart <3

[UncleExplosion]

It still blows my mind the fully rendered cutscene in this came out in 2001, it just looks so damn good. Literally saw this cutscene years ago and decided to play the game after because it just looked so moving.

Best decision of my life.

[burritogamer]

this scene is so damn romantic, in that classic and majestic sense that fits very well with a fantasy game like this, everything feels magical and ethereal. I love that the second time they kiss, it's Yuna who initiates it and how they caressed each other's face before that ahhhh my heart. The game gets you so invested in these two because you also see them at their most goofy and genuine selves when they talk to each other, they feel like real teenagers in that regard who fell in love naturally, so this moment was the big release of emotions for both of them

Wakka: Kimari, what happened to you?
Kimari: Kimari has seen things...

[mrfox]

I didn't appreciate how sad this scene really is until I replayed it as an adult. Her wanting to be hopeful but then breaking down because of the weight of her responsibility.
