greatest scene of all time

[Bowser]

I say nay. It was kind of predictable. My favorite was the scene with Yuna's bedhead.

Best scene EVER? I don't think so. Best scene in FFX? Definitely. I got to see it three times in a row, due to twice losing to Lady Yunalesca. It's an important scene, because you find out that there is no fayth of the final summoning, you find out exactly what became of the Braka/Auron/Jecht pilgrimage so many years ago, and because the characters resolve not to continue the cycle that had been running for a thousand years. But above all, I love this scene because you get to see young Auron, BESIDE HIMSELF IN ANGUISH, confront Lady Yunalesca, only to be struck down. The memory plays itself out before the characters' eyes like a spectral movie, and it is so painful that the normally taciturn present-day Auron flies into a rage and flails away at the ghostly images with his sword. It's young Auron's overwhelming grief, frustration, and mystification that make the scene so memorable. I sort of regret not saving my game in a separate file just before the scene, so I could go back and watch it whenever I want. I actually have a PS1 memory card set aside just for saved games prior to memorable scenes in FF7 (I guess have no life ).

Speaking of FF7, I think the best scene ever in any video game is the scene at the end of FF7's disc 1...you know, when you-know-who you-know-whats you-know-who, and the White Materia falls into the water. I first played FF7 in the summer of 2004--seven years after it was released--and I consider myself very lucky that no one EVER spoiled any of the game's surprises for me. When I first saw the scene at the end of disc 1...I'm not exaggerating that I couldn't stop thinking about it for three whole days (I guess have no life ).

The Sending in Kilika is another good scene in FFX, though. I thought it was quite moving how the people seemed kind of numb up until Yuna started to dance, which is when they really started to grieve. It kind of struck a nerve with me, you know, it made me think about how humans, almost universally, use some kind of ritual to say a final goodbye to the departed. Heck, paleontological evidence suggests that even Neanderthals had burial rites.

my favourite seeens are

1. Ending FMV ((sooo sad! ))
2. The bit in the summoners sanctum where Tidus realises Yuna is going to die
3. The kissy scene
4. The wedding
5. The yunalesca scene

I worked out the you-know-who died by watching loads of FF7 parodies, and I realised what al the sly hints were on about.

of all games i av played the greatest scene i av seen is the scene where they confront ldy yunalesca
do any of you agree. this is the seen that starts with the flashbacks of auron(god) braska(ponse) and jecht(drunk).

Does this really need a thread?
