Braska's Final Aeon and Yu Yevon. There was nothing to do with Yevon, just waited until it did something and one-hit kill afterwards. Braska's Final Aeon - (Overkill) HP: 60,000 & 120,000 (20,000) Yu Yevon - HP: 99,999
And that is why Yuna is my favourite female lead. Starting out as a reserved and quiet girl, her development and struggle with accepting her own death really makes you love her and root for her, so watching her having to kill all the Aeons just became really depressing and showcased real emotion.
I think they still not good enough. The way they show Yuna' reaction when Tidus said her that he will disappear. She would not only shocking suprise, but also confuse and cry because she lost too much in a battle.
That´s why I like this boss fight. It´s not hard but emotional. First you had to kill Jecht, than you kill one Aeon after another after you did a jpurney to get them and learn that they indeed were nothing more than humans that sacrificed themself the sake of humanity. Yu-Yevon itself isn´t even evil in nature. He is an vengeful spirit that wishes to keep things the way they were because the last time he saw change, his entire city got crushed by technology.
I can't even begin to imagine just how hard this was for Yuna. The Aeons were just as much her partners and friends as her Guardians, and here she had to summon them one after another, just so that they could die at the hands of the party and deprive Yu Yevon of hosts to possess.
I love final fantasy, I've been riding since the first one originally launched on the NES. I have always thought the final bosses were always a huge let down compared to a lot of the sub bosses in the games. And honestly after working through such epic stories it's almost impossible to cap them off with bosses that do the entire story up to that point and justice at all. Plus I think knowing there's no more battles, no more quests, and the game is over after that fight, always made me loathe them
Gravegroove it's because she's actually feeling pain, when the fayth join with a summoner it creates a mental bond, that's why when Yu Yevon possesses the final aeon it kills the summoner. So when you kill each aeon, that bond is being broken which causes her pain.
@@juliangallego7963 if you having nothing nice to say, please do not comment when everyons else is just trying to have a nice conversation...er... well.... start one... :-p either wzy.... noghing nice to say? keep it to yourself.
I think the way to cheese the final fight is by not leveling your Aeons throughout the game. They will reflect their current in game state at the end when you fight them so if you don't level them, then they can be one shot.
I made the mistake of letting one of the summons take a swipe at me for a giggle when max stat. It nearly killed my character lol. After that, I continued one shotting them.
0:23 Jecht: You're late, Auron.... Auron: I know.... Did that give anyone else chills? I mean, Auron has always been the pillar of strength and maturity for the group, the guiding light to see the process through to the end. For that one split second, it seemed like he was vulnerable...I really felt his connection and respect for Jecht in two words.
I think whats really sad about the first scene is that...its like they're a father and son catching up after a long time of seeing eachother, as if nothing happened. They know what they have to do, but..they still take time to talk. Plus, its the most positive way Jecht's talked to Tidus that we've seen all game.
Symbolic the final boss is a tick - parasitical leech feeding off the never ending sorrow of Spira through religion, and in order to make his followers fall in line, relies on the powers of his created Aeons rather than on himself. In the end, when you strip away its' armor of Sin, and take away its ability to leech from the power of the Aeons, you have a being that can no more defend for itself as it could truly oppress you through strength.
@@Masterpain33 the ruling summoner, actually. He (it) was the one that transformed everyone into pyreflies and summoned the grand being known as sin. From there, sin was to be the guardian of the ethereal city and destroy any threats to its existence. Machina, just so happened to be it's TRUE threat.
The thing with Yu Yevon is that he is unconscious evil which is the most disturbing thing. Once a human summoner who became so indulged with the concept of summoning eventually abandoning all their humanity and only having one singular ambition. To summon no matter what it costs. Using the power of the dead who gave their souls to keep their homeland even in death he uses this font of energy to channel his power. He is not traditionally 'evil' as he has no conscious. All the pain and suffering of spira and its blissfully unaware of it all. Harrowing stuff
My favourite games are FF9 & FF7 But FF10 has the greatest story of all Final Fantasys. Sheer masterpiece, everything was done for a reason. In my opinion, this was the last great FF game.
It's amazing how so much death and destruction caused by no one thinking of a third option to solve the problem for good. Then they make the sacrifice to do so and it all boils down to a parasite that literally can't harm you once it's out of hosts to take over.
For those unaware, Yu Yevon is most likely a metaphor for Avijja, the Pali/Buddhist word for Ignorance, which is the sole true cause of all suffering and our indefinite and near-infinite journey through Samsara, the cycle of rebirth and stress. It is the cause of Sin, as sin itself doesn't exist when there is no craving, and the only reason we crave is because we don't know the Ultimate Truth that there is truly no reason to continue living and constantly doing good and evil. There is only one Truth that is important to know - that Self as we know it does not exist, and so our Ignorance is the belief that we are this Self (this body or our mind), and so to defeat Sin, you actually need to kill Ignorance, the belief that you are Self, which is symbolized here by Yu Yevon, this ball or "soul" that we believe we are. Kill this notion, this ignorance, and Sin will never again be reborn in the cycle. This is why FFX is the best FF - it is the journey of Nirvana and the most beautiful one told (mostly all FF games are about Nirvana, but the metaphors of this game are the clearest).
Bahamut was easily my favorite before I stumbled upon anime then eventually the magus sisters. He still has a special place as he was the first in all my playthroughs to break the 9999 limit.
First time beating this game i was 10 years old. Now im 30 and man i wish i understood the storyline at 10. This game is soo much better than it was then, and it has been my fav game my entire life
What hits me hard about this fight is the way Yuna is struggling to stand up as the summons go on. I realize now that it's because of the sorrow and pain she feels at watching her aeons die before her eyes.
Lore-wise, it makes perfect sense that Yu Yevon is weak. I just feel like they could have been more creative with the fight to make it not so anticlimactic.
I'd like to see him take your last aeon and desperately try to begin the creation of sin with it. Maybe force you to summon bahamut last so they can work with his model and make some malformed transformation. Nothing wrong with the imagery of a tick creature for a cutscene but not the best fit for the actual final boss
Yuna looked so pained because she didn't want to watch the aeons she's bonded with get slain, but everyone, including the aeons understood why it had to happen. Yu yevon had no vessels that it could possess and was in the end defeated. And honestly, yu yevon being made to look like a tick was brilliant, as it was parasite on their world.
oh man the memories. first time i played this it took me like an hour and a half to get through the aeons because I was so agonized about killing them one by one that i sat there for minutes on end going nooooooo instead of attacking.
That's what I love about this game, there's actually no true villains, it's people over the generations trying to protect what they love that ends up conflicting with that same end in the later generations
Well, I did this at a considerably lower level than you are here. I had Yuna cast reflect on him, had Tidus and Auron to take out the pillars to the left and right, then beat the tar out of him. Every time he attempted to heal, it reflected back onto one of the the party members.
Never understood why the yu yevon fight got hate. It's right next to cloud vs sephi for me. Both are unloseable and imo this is way more emotional. Square clearly took what they learned from this final fight and uped the ante. I still get emotional every time I watch this.
I do like the emotional impact you have fighting the aeons and yeah the yu yevon fight itself is for me not really something "I hate" But I don't like it so much to be honest, at my first attempt I was not really high leveld or was a good strategist, I didn't even had the zombie-status so I did fight this thing pretty long, since my damage output was not really high and it could generate all the time, I mean I did realise that it the maximum hp from yevon gets more and more lower...but I will never forget the frustration from this fight xD I mean when I was like 15-16 I did understand the fight a lot better and it gots easier...the atmosphere is still great =)
Because with the cloud sephiroth sure win battle, we got to see sephiroth, and battle him. With yu yevon, we get to fight some flea. It is incredibly lackluster for an awesome game.
Not so fun fact: if you come into this fight with a sensor weapon- you can see that each aeon has the same HP stats as your own and when targeting them they have a little text box begging the party to kill them (Ifrit says extinguish my flame for example)
Poor Yuna, crying her heart out as she summons aeon after aeon so they can kill them, and then there's Auron, grinning like a mad man on his aeon chopping block.
Ein Aqila If you have a weapon with Sensor or use Scan, the Aeons have a message in the tooltip. All of them pretty much say goodbye and accept their deaths in their own words.
By the time I got to this part (I spent 1 year goofing around with the mobs just before this fight), my Wakka 3-shot Jecht with just regular attacks. I had leveled my characters too much.
reaper leviathan Aeons were always my last resort in a boss fight, so I’d always make sure they had their overdrive in case they were like Seymour and would get one shotted by some broken move.
I've honestly been beaten by Jecht multiple times now and can't progress, I'm guessing because most of my characters only has 3k HP? I see a lot of people saying you can't lose to this and I did like about 10 times now? 😅
I feel like being so overpowered and beating the final boss in a few hits kinda takes away from the fight...i know this person probably poured 100+ hours into grinding but i feel like beating a boss of this calibur is more satisfying when the odds are more against you
Orishi Kirro honestly it's more satisfying knowing you have grinded for days in order to have these stats. It's more of a reward to players who dedicate time to the grind. I remember when I got my players into the 40k range and being able to take lesser foes out in one or two attacks! Best ff game imo
The monster arena in the calm lands had the real final bosses of the game like Ruby and Emerald weapon from FFVII. I think the monster arena had bosses, several IIRC, that had millions of HP and the 99,999 hit you did barely even scratched them. If you beat those bosses, Yu Yevon was pretty much a one shot kill deal.
@@cdoublee100 Grinding is lame and wack. The end of the game was such a shitshow for not grinding... I went and got Trio of 9999 to cheese the last stuff
The first time that I play this game I couldn't stop playing it by the time that I finish the game I was tried and in tears because Yuna had lost her first love and it hurt.
Yu Yevon boss fight was so luckluster...in my first, blind playthrough, that.......thing, died in one single hit from Tidus's sword. That's all it took to end it. I always felt like Jecht was the true final boss, while killing Yu Yevon was just a formality in order to end the circle of that magnificent story they built
The final fight with the aeons and Yu Yevon was rather bittersweet, if a little bit tedious. I really did enjoy the Jecht fight though --- even though it took me a few tries to figure out how to survive his strongest attacks lol.
you know...only a few people knew that Sin is just Yu Yevon's armor and yet they let Sin keep coming back. if they know Sin is just Yu Yevon's armor than Yu Yevon is actually the enemy not Sin. one fact alone Yu Yevon takes a aeon as a host to stay around to destroy in the physical world. once I knew and I sure the rest of you agree. once you what Sin actually is it didn't make sense with the whole final aeon thing. Yu Yevon destroyed the final aeon because that aeon was a real threat to him and also keeping everyone to know how to really kill it. well that's what I got from why that aeon is no longer alive. using "we have to make a new final aeon" is just a trap to give Yu Yevon a new body to feed on.
Not actually. Yunalesca is who made this idea about Final Aeon, not Yu Yevon - he died with the born of Sin. I think in the past, Yunalesca and everyone tried many ways to kill Sin, but all failed. Compare with the hatred about Machina War, how terrible human can be,... she really think Sin is the punisher for what the human did. I can tell the only reason why Yuna's group can defeat and get into Sin is Jetch. He tried to weak Sin,too.
Technically its yevons fault they knew about yu yevon and how he makes sin yet kept doing a pointless cycle of sacrifice giving yu yevon new hosts to possess only to have a temporary peace.At least yunas group used the past mistakes to make a new solution that had permanent results
Tidus is so socially Awkward. "Hey guys. I'm going to disappear." Everyone just assumes he's going to beat off for the rest of his life in his basement.
The final battle with Jecht should have been two part with the first being a blitzball match between Jecht and Tidus. That would have made this perfect to show Tidus finally surpassed Jetch in blitzball and his dream came true (imagine doing the Jecht Shot 2 in that match!). The second part can just be this.
The most depressing part is Yuna summoning her aeons and Auron basically executing them with one blow because that's the way to break the cycle and truly defeat Yu Yevon... I remember maxing everyone's sphere grid in the original released PS2 version after beating the game in the "traditional" way. I forgot how many hours it took to maxed it out. I didn't even do it efficiently by changing the blank points in the grid. All of my aeons had max stats because they are directly tied to Yuna's stats in the game. I don't think I broke my hp, mp, or attack cap or getting the best weapons in the game with the best skills attached to them. I didn't have the international version so I couldn't do or get every single thing. All I wanted was to grind out to maxed my party's grid sphere then rebeat the Sin & Yu Yevon again. The best place to that is keep grinding to a high level until you can grind mobs in the Omega Ruins which was an insanely dangerous secret zone when you first enter with high leveled characters. Expect many game overs at that place. The majority of my grindfest to fully maxed the sphere grid with every character was there.
