How did the ending make you feel?

[Crazy Chocobo]

I will admit, I did cry. I thought it was really sad. Poor Yuna. I also thought it was sad that you had to end up killing off the Aeons. I didn't want to! I know a lot of people would have liked the ending because Tidus disappears but I thought it was a lovely ending but really sad at the same time. Yuna ends up losing her true love. Awww. I always love watching the FFX ending. It has to be by far my favourite ending from the series. I wish they didn't make X-2 because I thought the ending was perfect (I like sad endings) LOL. Oh and the music is beautiful at the end.

I cried, but apparently not for the same reason as most of you.

I had to force myself to play the ending after a few weeks. It was obvious to me where things were going, and from Gagazet onwards I kept resisting finishing. I didn't really want to go to Zanarkand. But I was writing fanfic that demanded I know what happened.

I finished it on March 5 and posted Send Off (quick one-shot) to describe my impression.

Tidus' story was moving, but that's not what I was dreading, and the loss of him and the Aeons wasn't what got me.

I teared up as soon as Yuna started dancing at the end. I knew, "oh boy, this is it... we're losing him now." I've cried once in one film in my entire life (I'm Auron's age), but Auron's story tripped my circuit, and I did not want to see that valiant old warrior go.

There was something so blasted unfair about a man who suffered and worked so hard, so long, and so faithfully, always for others, and he never had a chance to live.

i was nearly in tears and no other game has made me like that

I never thought FFx would end liek this...I was expecting the tragic part during the game, like in ff7 with aeris, and in the end everything to turn out well. But It was a shock...I never expected the end to be this dramatic.

At First Tidus is forced to choose (actually he didn't have much of a choice) between his father and Spira (I don't need to mention how much time passed since the two saw each other and when finally the meeting takes place they need to fight each other). The scene in which Tidus has the last talk with Jecht is truly memorable...I still remember each and every word said by them (and I don't think I will forget them soon)

So during the fight with Braska's Final Aeon I was already sad (read above) but I was thinking it will eventually turn out good...Yuna won't have to sarifice herself anymore and she will live happily with Tidus (I guess I forgot what the fayth said to Tidus..that he will disappear)

But then the next part is another sad part, in which Tidus is being (again) forced to kill Yuna's aeons, who have been along his side since the beginning. I was really bond to them...It wasn't too nice watching them die but I got over it. And now comes the final part....Tidus completes his mission and frees the fayth...which leads to his vanish...I thought this was going to be avoided (just like Yuna did) that Tidus will not simply disappear...I was so sad when I saw this scene...it even makes me sad when I write this down...

But although the end was tragic, I think it made from ffx a masterpiece...and the end was trully memorable and not to be forgotten.

When I finished the game for the first time, it was late at night. When I'm extremely tired, I get emotional easily, especially while watching a sad movie. I thought the ending was really well done, and I also found it sad. Of course I cried. During Yuna's final speech I cried.

I teared up as soon as Yuna started dancing at the end. I knew, "oh boy, this is it... we're losing him now." I've cried once in one film in my entire life (I'm Auron's age), but Auron's story tripped my circuit, and I did not want to see that valiant old warrior go.

Being an Auron fan myself, I actually felt sad about him leaving. I was absolutly shocked when I found out that he was an unsent, which meant that he had to go in the end. It was hard to see him go. It would have been nice if he was alive and we saw him again in FFX-2...

[Asheis]

I was sad the game was over.. and a bit sad at how predictable the ending was..

But past that, I loved the ending.. Though I don't think I felt any really strong emotion.

[Juggalomage]

The ending was definetly sad. I don't expect tidus walking away with auron.
Thats what made it sad.

I nearly cried...*cough* =x Same with the KH ending. XDDI hate such sad moments. .____.

It was a very sad ending. When i play RPG's I end up fooling myself into thinking these characters are real, because it's so realsitic! So of course i cried. AND IT IS OK FOR A GUY TO CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is SO TRUE

[Snave]

I cried with my sister lol! It was soo upsetting, Yuna just lying there on the roof looking at Tidus dissapear, very very emotional! I was not at all mad because I bought FF X-2 before I completed X. So I knew what I was in for but nevertheless it was still very very upsetting, one of the most upsetting endings I have ever seen I think

Thats debatable. I know FFVII never had a good ending. But nothing was wrong with it, shows the end of seth, the start of a new life. I don't even know why people complained for a 2nd game (getting a movie instead..). I was satisfied with FFVII ending, but FFX to me seemed to much like a cliff hanger, which is annoying. If Yuna had no affection at all for Tidus then that would have been that but because of "her apparent love" people wanted to see more, to what happens in the future. (even though in my opinion FFX would have been better off without that disaster of a game that followed it..)

Interesting note: The English version changed the ending.

In the original Japanese, Yuna says, "Thank you" NOT "I love you". But thanks, courtesy, and bows are a meaningful and complex form of interaction in Japan -- you get hints of it in the way Wakka bows to Yuna when he asks to be her Guardian again -- so I suppose the translators were afraid that it would feel too anticlimactic.

I'm surprised. It sounds like a lot of you hadn't figured out Auron was Unsent until he said it. There's clues early on -- both Kinoc and Seymour asked, "what have you been doing for 10 years?" which set my curiosity in motion, and when Seymour said, "why are you still here... sorry, we Guado are very keen to the scent of the Farplane" about midway through the game, that clinched it for me.

At which point I was uneasily certain that we'd be seeing Auron Sent by the end of the game. The old rule of drama is that one doesn't show a gun in act one unless it's used by act three, and vice versa.

I'm also surprised people were disappointed in a tragic ending, but then, I studied Greek tragedy for a long time. This is one. It's a modern one (well, no, I guess it's Japanese, so it's the sort of tragedy called "No"), but it has those elements.

The important thing about a good story is that characters follow their path to a logical ending. I was actually disappointed that a sequel would dare to change it. There is a very precise poetry in the reversal of Tidus disappearing, at the end of a story which was trying to keep Yuna alive. There is a poetry in Auron's story as well. Having either of them come back is a bit like having a sequel to the Titanic where whosit the pretty boy pops up and says, "ha ha, just kidding, I'm not dead!" after we've gone through an emotional climax where he dies.

It was sad. I mean I wanted Yuna and Tidus together. I was hoping that Tidus was not just a dream but that he was actually real. Im not saying I cried, ok, maybe a little, but it was sad u have to admit it
