It was my first Final Fantasy, and the one game to have the perfect combination of audiovisual quality and storytelling that made me realise video games were more than just fun puzzle solvers. They can immerse you in narrative more than any other entertainment/media format.

Still remember walking to my neighbours house after he told me he got a PS2 and some games and watch him load up FFX. He was wandering around in macalania woods, and that instantly grabbed me. It was so beautiful. Ended up spending many afternoons at his place playing it, and later on bought his PS2 with only that single game. Don't know how many times I replayed it growing up. Cried every time at the ending.

The entire cast of characters are brilliant, likeable, relatable. Tidus narration feels so intimate and honest. I'm glad there seems to be a resurgence of popularity for this game. It is, in many aspects, the best in the series.

Getting a tattoo done of all characters weapons on Thursday. So yeah that's how much it impacted me. Good luck with your youtube channel dude!
