Thread: Finished Final Fantasy X. Ending not so epic...

    Default Finished Final Fantasy X. Ending not so epic...

    Just finished Final Fantasy X for the first time today. I was stuck on (SPOILER)Braska's Final Aeon Jecht. I finally beat him today. But the battle with (SPOILER)Yu Yevon as not epic at all. It was stupid and horrible. I hated it. I loved the whole game just that ending battle was stupid. Anyone else think that way?

    I pretty much just consider (SPOILER)BFA the final boss in my head and pretty much disregard (SPOILER)Yu-Yevon as having any significance but symbolic.

    *yawn* Symbolism

    Well (SPOILER)Yu Yevon is in a category of Final bosses I call the bosses you can't really lose to. The game does not expect you to lose, because in their eyes, the game is now over. Its like the post game, but you fight one last time in a battle which is one sided in your favour.

    if you see what I mean.

    On a side note, was'nt defeating all of your (SPOILER)Aeonsheart wrenching?

    Whilst one of the end bosses should have been much more difficult, the idea behind the very end boss being like he is, is all to do with the storyline itself. And cheer up, you still have dark aeon's and penance to beat I absolutely loved the ending itself, not a crappy hollywood one

    Like many already said, it was symbolic. The fight had to happen, but that doesn't mean that it had to be mind-wrenchingly hard. I like to relate it to (SPOILER)the final fight in Xenosaga 2 between Rubedo and Albedo, where it was almost impossible to lose.

    I would relate it to that fight, except the symbolism was done so much better, and I don't want to relate such a well done tale from a great series to a story as poorly put together as this.

    But that aside, I guess it's a reasonable comparison.

    Not the first time they've done this - i.e. Cloud vs. Sephiroth.


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    Personally I thought FFX was extremely well done, but still behind Xenosaga. And I have to agree, the final fight finished the fued between Rubedo and Albedo in an awesome fashion.

    It's a shame they had to let me down with Xenosaga 3 </3

    The final boss was a bit of a letdown, but the (SPOILER)bittersweet ending more than made up for that.

    At least the final boss in this one had some significance while Necron was just a random stupid extra 5 mins of my time in FFIX =/

    I personally felt that the game finished before you get to BFA.
    The whole ending, including the very easy bosses and the increadibly lame and un-emotional ending was just terrible.
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    I really didn't enjoy the ending of FFX at all. T(SPOILER)he fact Tidus was technically an Aeon & disappeared seemingly forever leaving the love of life behind It really annoyed me

    Shattered Dreamer: That was actually part of why I loved the ending of FFX the most. It was a non-standard, non-clichéd storybook ending, much like the end of LOTR, where the world is saved, but not for Frodo.

    Have you played FFX-2? I suspect you might feel differently about the ending of FFX if you knew what happened later...
