Yes, I cry every time I beat FFX

This may be the only Final Fantasy game that made me cry. Final Fantasy X, the first title for the Playstation 2, is the story of the summoner Yuna, and a boy from Zanarkand named Tidus. FFX follows Tidus and Yuna as they travel through Spira on Yuna's pilgrimage to become a full-fledged summoner in order to defeat Sin.

The game begins with Tidus, in his home-town of Zanarkand. Sin arrives, destroying parts of the city and sending Tidus to a place and time he doesn't recognize. Whenever he asks someone about Zanarkand, or explains that he's trying to get back home to Zanarkand, they just think he is affected by his proximity to Sin and suffering from the toxins. Thus, he is disregarded.

Tidus eventually meets Yuna, and he becomes one of her guardians on her pilgrimage. Being the same age, the two bond, and become friends. Throughout the game, you see that the two are falling in love.

This was the first Final Fantasy I noticed on overt spiritual reference. The ultimate enemy, Sin, is a problem that has plagued Spira since the before the Machina War with Zanarkand. Summoners train and begin the pilgrimage to acquire the Final Aeon in order to defeat Sin. The problem is, Sin is never really defeated, only made to go away for several years. The catch is that the peace in between Sin appearances come at the cost of the Summoner's life.

Tidus knows this, and has made it his mission to help Yuna find a way to defeat Sin without having to die for it. At the conclusion of the game, there is a particularly poignant scene, accompanied by beautiful, sad, music, that never fails to make me tear up. I've gotten caught up in Tidus and Yuna as people, involved in their lives. To see them so sad, makes me sad. More than any other game so far, this is the one that I get wrapped up in the most. It is a wonderful game, and focused on the characters. Love it. Play it if you haven't. You won't be sorry.
