Ending Theme Final Fantasy X (Piano)(Nobuo Uematsu) 

I get chills every single time at that moment and I can hear Yuna saying no. What a beautiful arrangement and heartbreaking journey ❤️

It's a very "twisted" ending. But, it's also the most psychologically fulfilling. The theme is that the game will end which is a double edged fourth wall break. Suddenly, you're not playing the game. You're a character in the game. You're the dream of the game of world that will cease to be once you stop playing. From that moment, you can stop playing at any point and you'll have proven the story correct. If you persist to prolong the dream then you're reassured by the story that there will still be an end. At the moment that is the canonical ending you see it all disappear but not in the way you're led to expect because of the shift in the demographics of the audience by that point. The "dream guy" fades which someone identified with would experience as an ego death. Someone identifying as his counterpoint (identifying with/as Yuna) would have reinforced shock to trigger denial in order to initiate artificial grief. It's akin to the strategy of FF6 and FF7 putting strong turning points as an artificial ending but here they reinforced a literary truth so often that you it began to point toward... Hmm. This gives me an idea.

@@blitzball4lyfe823 An endearing moment - beautifully performed by Kara

"Im sorry i cannot show you Zanaarkand".. It breaks me

I thought the music beautifully expressed the most dramatic tragic love in the history of the game, even at 4:35.

😭😭😭😭

"I'm sorry i couldn't show you Zanarkand"

@@leonardofeltrin957 That line got me. Not him slowly disappearing, or her running after. That one damn line stood with me nearly 2 decades later.

This game left me scarred right through high school. My favourite game of all time, and the one that got me into listening to/playing video game music.

@@leviatini5643 It was definitely an experience and I love this game with a passion. Coming back to this video is giving me goosebumps, thanks for commenting! lol

Yuna whistling into the sea.

@@lctlonlonscommunityandthea7361 love it, just absolutely love it! Getting the “real” ending in X-2 and seeing her leap from the deck of the Celsius to have her jump into his arms? Niagara Falls, Frankie angel!

💛💛💛

HahahaI I love that, thank you Cesar!!!

Danbo_de_Piano_Part_Deux well said!

I felt the exact same way. I've replayed the game a few times but nothing gets close to the first run. I wish I could forget and start with a clean slate. These experiences shape the rest of your life in a profound way.

Yes, I have discovered that he can melt even the hardest male hearts XD

Yes, Uematsu makes beautiful music, and Kara's grace makes it even better. The little trill at 2:19 really got me.

I'm so glad I finally fulfilled this wish of yours!!

Yes I love it in this key signature! it's just a tad different than the classic theme

@@KaraComparetto and your elegance and grace elevates it to a new level.🙂 Wish you all the best for 2023.

Thank you

Thank you Christophe!!

Wow that makes me feel special, thank you!! I love this version of zanarkand because of the key it’s played in. It sounds more melancholy :)

absolutely! I'm playing through my first gameplay of FFX on twitch right now, I love it!
