Final Fantasy X | The Buddhism of Yevon | Secrets & Lore of FFX 

The amount of content that is in this video was mindblowing, it's a true class on budhism, and way better than most of those "religion explained" videos. FFX may not ever be my favorite FF, but at least I can have a much better undertanding of it now, so thank you. Let's just pretend Yuna didn't went and became a pop singer after achieving Nirvana lol

"Be Excellent to Each Other" and "Party On Dudes".

Praise be to the algorithm gods, bestow upon us the algorithms x2

Man, the ending of FFX is such a powerful and emotional scene. "Someday the dream must end. And then is will begin again." Thanks for this amazing video!

Beautiful summary of Buddhist philosophy at the start

Don’t have time to watch right now but I’m commenting to summon the algorithm to bless this absolutely massive video.

Muse, your content is the comfort place for my weird, queer heart. Today was real bad. The week was real bad. And here I am, feeling okay. Because of your amazing content.

Praise be to yevon

What an incredible, insightful, well researched and well presented video. I appreciate the detailed explanations… it definitely makes me want to learn more about the history and core beliefs of the Buddhist faith, and I'm looking forward to replaying FFX with these concepts in mind, a new take on an old favorite. Thank you for all the hard work that went into this video!

That's really intersting FFX may not be my favorite FF. But i always thoguht of Yuna's journey like Sanzo from Jourbey to the West

This video is really informative, and a good jumping board really I've been looking into and interested in getting more into Buddhism but it's surprisingly hard to actually make a substantial connection with it if you don't have anyone you know who is already. There's no Buddhism practicing temples or anything like that nearby and from what i've seen so far having an open dialogue seems to be an important factor. While at the same time not trying to fall into some cult bullshit or something either.

This is such an insightful, beautiful summary of FFX. I learned so much and found so much more in appreciation for the culture and teachings of this game, with its own real-world inspirations, and found such enlightenment in these Buddhist religions as well. Thank-you.

Awesome, been needing someone to talk about this

Moon channel mentioned this correlation in a video, I'm glad I could find another to expand on that.

You should analyze Xenoblade 1-3 series religion connections and influences.

A Wonderful and beautiful revelation. Thank you Muse

Great video!

Interesting ! Totally understand. Alan watts has great work to on this topic.

Amazing deep narration. I love your deep analysis of Buddah and the concept of dream ❤. Im your fan

Sorry I'm late. Love the video, it's a masterpiece. Haven't watched yet, but I be knowin

Learned a lot today.

As a Buddhist myself, i find this incredible. Thanks for all the effort!

Final Fantasy X is such a beautiful game in so many ways, im glad in recent years it seems to have been appreciated more.

Thank you

I had to stop playing stellaris and listen to the rest of this. i ended up taking notes and asking some questions in my journal after hearing the quote at 40:30. Where did you learn about the quote from rupayaruta? I must be spelling it wrong..Great video as always.

I thought ffx had a lot of christian symbolism?

Hello this is not related to the video, I was just wondering what happened to your kingdom analysis videos. Was it removed or was it a members only video now? Thanks! Great video btw!

Ever consider covering Signalis?

i wonder if there are similar influences in Final Fantasy 7

Theravada and Mahayana aren’t really that different from each other. Nearly every concept found in the Mahayana can be found in Pali literature, except perhaps the doctrine of pure lands outside of the Sahā world. The Mahayana is a further development with emphasis placed on the bodhisattva path, while Theravada believers follow the śrāvaka path to become an arhat. But the Mahayana Lotus Sutra makes it clear that these are all a single vehicle taught by the Buddha to address others’ immediate needs. A note about Maten 魔天: Mara is understood as being a class of deva and is of especially high rank in the heavenly worlds. While Christians believe the devil resides in hell, Buddhists see the devil as a god who has great influence over the realm of desire, and is an inhabitant of the highest heaven of this sphere.

Hey

I don't think summoners summoned sin as a weapon which then destroyed them because they couldn't control it. It's much more likely that Sin was summoned as the final solution to a losing war. The people sacrificed themselves to become the fayth that powers Sin and also powers dream Zanarkand. That's why dream Zanarkand exists in the first place. If Sin just killed them all then there would be no dream Zanarkand. It's also why Tidus dies when Sin dies. Because dream Zanarkand and Sin are directly connected through the same power source. Yunalesca created the religion of Yevon to trick people into destroying Sins outer shell so that it could be reborn again before it decays over time (my speculation). If Sin dies then so does dream Zanarkand. So, Yunalesca was keeping dream Zanarkand alive through the false hope that Yevon provided. Even though the higher ups in the religion knew that Sin couldn't be defeated and that the whole religion was a lie. I don't think they even knew that Sin was being replenished through the sacrifices of the summoners.

thank you for putting chapters in place so I can skip the buddhist made up nonsense

i want to get into this game any recommendations or tips you’d give a newbie rpg player
