  1. 0:04Guys, welcome back.
  2. 0:06I'm Michele, also known as Mike of the
  3. 0:09Desert on the web, and I don't really
  4. 0:11know how to anticipate (maybe a little,
  5. 0:13but I couldn't say exactly) how many
  6. 0:16comments I received on the last episode
  7. 0:18, the pilot of Spirito dell'Esperto 3,
  8. 0:20stating that it was too short, etcetera
  9. 0:23, etcetera, etcetera.
  10. 0:25I realize that the last series started
  11. 0:27immediately with an hour-plus video.
  12. 0:30Nevertheless, it wasn't done by chance.
  13. 0:32Final Fantasy X is different, and that's
  14. 0:34why some episodes, especially the
  15. 0:36initial ones, must have a certain pace.
  16. 0:38I'll tell you a little secret, though.
  17. 0:39Obviously, those who follow me already
  18. 0:42know this, but I never create episodes
  19. 0:44based on length, but rather on what I
  20. 0:46consider the right moment to end a
  21. 0:48chapter.
  22. 0:50Therefore, having already had the chance
  23. 0:52to show a first little gem and insight
  24. 0:53into the gameplay, you know, of what a
  25. 0:55Perfect Run is, allowed me to use that
  26. 0:57ending.
  27. 0:59But we must continue because we are
  28. 1:01still in the heart of the prologue.
  29. 1:04And that of the game, that of the expert
  30. 1:06?
  31. 1:08We shall see. Let's go.
  32. 1:21Absorbed by a mysterious entity.
  33. 1:26Invited to be so, by the way, by our
  34. 1:28dear friend.
  35. 1:31He's the classic individual who knows a
  36. 1:33ton
  37. 1:35and plays with our destiny or perhaps
  38. 1:37wants to invite us to follow him.
  39. 1:41Whatever the truth is,
  40. 1:46we wake up here.
  41. 1:51Back inside a map that completely
  42. 1:53changes the viewpoint of the classic
  43. 1:55Final Fantasy player.
  44. 1:58Exactly, three-dimensional.
  45. 2:14Here, by the way, there is a mechanism
  46. 2:16strongly linked to what could be
  47. 2:17considered a sort of fake New Game Plus
  48. 2:19.
  49. 2:21Do you see this gem? This sphere, this
  50. 2:23hemisphere?
  51. 2:26Introduction to the Al Bhed language. Do
  52. 2:29you want to learn an exotic language?
  53. 2:30Search for the Al Bhed primers and oh.
  54. 2:37No, I definitely didn't understand that
  55. 2:38.
  56. 2:39However, one could load a save file in
  57. 2:42which a complete dictionary is found and
  58. 2:45therefore make use of it, but we clearly
  59. 2:48don't have one.
  60. 2:53We do, however, have a nice chest here.
  61. 2:55It begins, guys.
  62. 2:58It begins.
  63. 3:04We still don't know who speaks the Al
  64. 3:06Bhed language or why.
  65. 3:10However, it is a sort of minigame, we
  66. 3:12could say, of collecting within Final
  67. 3:14Fantasy X that then allows, obviously,
  68. 3:17to obtain some small secret goodies
  69. 3:19including
  70. 3:23ah, a nice chest.
  71. 3:27While here is found
  72. 3:31something that we could have understood
  73. 3:33only through learning that language.
  74. 3:36Even if Macalania isn't exactly
  75. 3:38something already translated and
  76. 3:40understandable.
  77. 3:49Guys, I can't wait to continue. For now
  78. 3:52, I am narrating what is happening
  79. 3:54rather slowly.
  80. 3:55I'm trying to get you into the mood
  81. 3:57because it's the first episode, but very
  82. 3:58soon we will be much more conversational
  83. 4:00.
  84. 4:02For now, why not try to understand
  85. 4:04what's going through this boy's head.
  86. 4:22We don't care.
  87. 4:32Having the map in the top left is an
  88. 4:34interesting novelty within Final Fantasy
  89. 4:37.
  90. 4:41And yet, we also know that these items
  91. 4:42are things we know very well, especially
  92. 4:44if you have followed the other spirit of
  93. 4:46the esper.
  94. 4:48Different types of potions, different
  95. 4:51types of cures and effects
  96. 4:56and an underwater, submerged temple.
  97. 5:44And this is the first time
  98. 5:50that, along with his determination, we
  99. 5:52enter a fight with the original OST.
  100. 5:56Listen.
  101. 6:23With the triangle or Y button, you can
  102. 6:26defend.
  103. 6:29You lose your turn but take less damage
  104. 6:31with the shield we saw our big guy has
  105. 6:33on his forearm.
  106. 6:36Then
  107. 6:48Yes!
  108. 7:38Boss.
  109. 7:41But this boss is very particular. This
  110. 7:44is a secret, optional boss fight that
  111. 7:47can be found later in the game, as the
  112. 7:49beast has over 30,000 HP.
  113. 7:51But surprise surprise, even he can't
  114. 7:54kill us here, only deal damage equal to
  115. 7:58half our HP.
  116. 9:06Final Fantasy games have always been
  117. 9:08extremely theatrical and scenic, eh, but
  118. 9:10how wonderful.
  119. 9:29And we get back up, having survived by a
  120. 9:32hair, truly, by a whisker inside that
  121. 9:35temple.
  122. 9:38If any of you had the doubt, that is,
  123. 9:40wondered what I could have done for
  124. 9:41completionism and perfectionism, perhaps
  125. 9:44when facing Sin's spawn that made us
  126. 9:45literally immortal during turns because
  127. 9:47it couldn't kill us.
  128. 9:51It's true, I could have had Tidus and
  129. 9:53Auron learn other types of overdrive
  130. 9:55modes, like the one that lets you charge
  131. 9:57the bar if you spend turns with yellow
  132. 10:00HP, etc., or simply by participating in
  133. 10:02turns in battle.
  134. 10:04But that is a very important moment for
  135. 10:05me in the plot; it's a fond memory with
  136. 10:07Antimaria, etc., and I didn't want to
  137. 10:09get into, let's say, technicalities,
  138. 10:11also because these things slip my mind,
  139. 10:13guys. Wow!
  140. 10:15Exactly.
  141. 10:18Tidus might want to run away, but we can
  142. 10:20learn these passive ability forms
  143. 10:23whenever we want, and they don't change
  144. 10:25our run or our desire for virtual
  145. 10:28perfectionism in the slightest.
  146. 10:33Cold.
  147. 10:35Mh.
  148. 10:49Listen to the melody.
  149. 10:56It has a distant reminiscence of what
  150. 10:58you will see in the future.
  151. 11:00Cosmo Canyon from Final Fantasy VII;
  152. 11:02after all, the composer is the same.
  153. 11:06And this wood here is just what we need
  154. 11:09.
  155. 11:10These are the remains of a campfire.
  156. 11:17But we need something flammable.
  157. 11:21So, first of all
  158. 11:26here we have another save point.
  159. 11:30We don't need it yet, it doesn't
  160. 11:31interest us that much.
  161. 11:37This door would allow us to explore, and
  162. 11:40this one is locked.
  163. 11:44But
  164. 11:48Here is how they used 3D space to hide
  165. 11:50treasure chests in Final Fantasy X.
  166. 11:52There are both static screens relative
  167. 11:54to the camera—or rather,
  168. 11:57we could call them fixed camera angles
  169. 11:59now—and dynamic ones that push you to
  170. 12:01use the map to explore little secrets.
  171. 12:20Oh yeah.
  172. 12:21There are also screens that can trick
  173. 12:22you here.
  174. 12:32Excellent.
  175. 12:42Who knows what purpose this temple
  176. 12:44served, eh?
  177. 12:47Who built it, and why?
  178. 12:51Know that it’s not something that will
  179. 12:54remain all that mysterious.
  180. 12:56I wouldn't have guessed. I hate stock
  181. 12:58phrases used just to build pathos
  182. 13:00because a place is mysterious and
  183. 13:02ancient. Oh, no, I really appreciate
  184. 13:04that it has a role.
  185. 13:21Look at the storm.
  186. 13:23These small details are things that get
  187. 13:25missed so much during playthroughs
  188. 13:27because you tend to just play, and I
  189. 13:28myself don't remember in detail that
  190. 13:30there was a storm outside.
  191. 13:33Having so much water around is confusing
  192. 13:34.
  193. 13:43It’s done.
  194. 13:45We can light the fire.
  195. 13:56Thunder.
  196. 13:59The beginning of this chapter is very
  197. 14:00different from the ninth, isn't it guys
  198. 14:02?
  199. 14:06It translates the magic and the wonder
  200. 14:08of the setting in a very different way.
  201. 14:12See?
  202. 14:13It tries to create unease.
  203. 14:18And the expressions of our dear athlete
  204. 14:23we never saw those in previous chapters
  205. 14:26, never seen them this up close.
  206. 14:32This doesn't mean they were less
  207. 14:33polished in the past, though guys, I'm
  208. 14:34talking about Final Fantasy VI too.
  209. 15:06And in fact, our protagonist seems a bit
  210. 15:09tormented.
  211. 15:13The attention to detail and the love
  212. 15:15imbued in the work of these Final
  213. 15:17Fantasy chapters is incredible, guys.
  214. 15:20That sentiment wasn't missing later on,
  215. 15:22but it was unfortunately smothered under
  216. 15:25so, so, so much else.
  217. 15:55Nice situation, Tidus.
  218. 15:58This, guys, is the first real boss fight
  219. 16:01of Final Fantasy X. It won't just damage
  220. 16:03us through percentages; you can actually
  221. 16:06lose.
  222. 16:09Magnificent to be able to see it like
  223. 16:10this.
  224. 16:12Let's defend.
  225. 16:14Ah, that click.
  226. 16:18Ah!
  227. 16:21You've already understood that our dear
  228. 16:23soccer player here is a character who
  229. 16:25dodges and attacks fast.
  230. 16:33See? We had a double turn. In that case
  231. 16:36, you can also plan by looking, right?
  232. 16:40The turn sequence, when to heal, when to
  233. 16:42defend.
  234. 16:46This is a style of combat system that I
  235. 16:49deeply love and that I think you will
  236. 16:52come to appreciate enormously as well.
  237. 17:02See that purple bar to the left of the
  238. 17:05name?
  239. 17:08That relates to how close you are to
  240. 17:10getting your next turn.
  241. 17:13But we'll talk about that when we have
  242. 17:15abilities that can modify speed and,
  243. 17:17obviously, the order of events during
  244. 17:19battle.
  245. 18:15And here we obviously have a new party
  246. 18:17member who might be temporary or might
  247. 18:19not, but who obviously teaches us a new
  248. 18:21tutorial, simply the use of items,
  249. 18:23meaning there are offensive items that
  250. 18:25do area damage or not and blah blah blah
  251. 18:27blah blah. However, I actually noticed
  252. 18:30something.
  253. 18:32I will be very curious to find out
  254. 18:36even in post, this girl's eyes shouldn't
  255. 18:39be the way they were shown.
  256. 18:43Maybe with the old PS2 resolution they
  257. 18:45thought it wouldn't be noticeable, but
  258. 18:48it seems strange.
  259. 18:50Ah, we'll talk about it later.
  260. 18:54However,
  261. 18:56we won't use the grenades in this fight
  262. 18:58except for the tutorial.
  263. 19:01Still, look at that nice damage.
  264. 19:07Their main utility is the fact that they
  265. 19:09deal area damage, so using them against
  266. 19:11a single boss fight is a bit of a waste
  267. 19:13.
  268. 19:13We have all the resources needed to win
  269. 19:15, so we'll steal.
  270. 19:24I love it. I love it.
  271. 19:27Obviously, one could also start
  272. 19:28defending and stealing as long as
  273. 19:30possible. Now, here we don't really care
  274. 19:32because this creature only has grenades
  275. 19:34, so, you know.
  276. 19:38But it was also useful to make you
  277. 19:40understand that defending when one turn
  278. 19:42is left is useless as you lose the
  279. 19:44chance to be saved by the shield.
  280. 20:03Persist.
  281. 20:10Actually, defend.
  282. 20:17Great.
  283. 20:21Not much left of it.
  284. 20:35And we have our new fanfare.
  285. 20:39AP obtained, not experience points.
  286. 20:43Yeah.
  287. 20:47This is foreshadowing.
  288. 20:53Ass.
  289. 21:50Sorry.
  290. 21:52They speak that language.
  291. 23:13It's quite clear.
  292. 23:29You heard the chair noises, guys; I
  293. 23:31couldn't resist and went to check.
  294. 23:35It was too strange that there was this
  295. 23:36detail about this girl's eyes, whose
  296. 23:38name I won't tell you yet (just for
  297. 23:39those who are blind, but it's irrelevant
  298. 23:41to the story).
  299. 23:43But anyway, you understood perfectly
  300. 23:45that they speak an unknown language,
  301. 23:47they are of another race, they are from
  302. 23:49another culture, and,
  303. 23:54in the HD remaster, thankfully only on
  304. 23:57this low-poly model,
  305. 24:00they forgot to put the right eyes.
  306. 24:03They simplified it.
  307. 24:06And this remaster, as wonderful as it is
  308. 24:08in some things, in many others is
  309. 24:10seriously lacking because it destroyed
  310. 24:12much of the characters 'expressiveness;
  311. 24:14many won't move their pupils, their
  312. 24:16irises—in short, the sclera will remain
  313. 24:18motionless, everything just frozen there
  314. 24:20.
  315. 24:22It's a terrible shame and it's something
  316. 24:24that goes a bit against what for me is
  317. 24:25maintaining the work for the years to
  318. 24:27come, and therefore safeguarding its
  319. 24:29quality and the result and the message,
  320. 24:31even in terms of workmanship and
  321. 24:32outcomes, okay?
  322. 24:35So if you have the chance and if you
  323. 24:38have already purchased the remaster, if
  324. 24:41you want the real experience even in HD
  325. 24:44, you can emulate it in a, well, free
  326. 24:46way.
  327. 24:48Nonetheless, in this series the remaster
  328. 24:50is perfect for many reasons, even more
  329. 24:52than the official one, so I prefer to
  330. 24:53use it if possible.
  331. 24:57That said, damn it, I modded the other
  332. 25:00Final Fantasy games, I replaced the MIDI
  333. 25:03music of Final Fantasy 8, and so on.
  334. 25:08This is absolutely not serious because
  335. 25:09the eyes will be fixed shortly.
  336. 25:13But so, it is absolutely not an
  337. 25:14aesthetic choice, it is absolutely not
  338. 25:16an artistic choice, it is simply
  339. 25:19an oversight and a lack of care in what
  340. 25:21went into rebuilding the assets.
  341. 25:25Oh my goodness.
  342. 25:28Getting back to us, though, we’ve taken
  343. 25:31quite the "expert spirit" tangent.
  344. 25:34Over there
  345. 25:37we have a dictionary, and yep, we know
  346. 25:41that the "y" is equivalent to an "a".
  347. 25:46You have clearly understood that these
  348. 25:49collectibles will be found around the
  349. 25:52world and will therefore allow you to
  350. 25:55understand these characters little by
  351. 25:58little, some of whom, like this one here
  352. 26:01, I think you will come to appreciate a
  353. 26:04lot.
  354. 26:13It’s clear that you are important,
  355. 26:14you’re voiced.
  356. 26:15By the way, am I wrong, or are we
  357. 26:17reading far fewer dialogues than in the
  358. 26:19past?
  359. 26:20In 10, or rather from 10 onwards, this
  360. 26:24will happen.
  361. 26:26But we’ll talk to you in a bit. You, you
  362. 26:27are a gem, you are a gem.
  363. 26:29Milady.
  364. 26:31Oh, I almost vented.
  365. 26:33Oh.
  366. 26:35Here is how leveling up and character
  367. 26:37enhancement works in Final Fantasy X.
  368. 26:39They increase their abilities by
  369. 26:40activating nodes on the Sphere Grid.
  370. 26:42Let's see how to use it.
  371. 26:47Enter the Sphere Grid from the Sphere
  372. 26:48Grid option in the menu.
  373. 26:50The cursor indicates the character's
  374. 26:51position.
  375. 26:53Move the cursor and blah blah blah, you
  376. 26:55are free to move across the various
  377. 26:58tiles. On the top screen you will notice
  378. 26:59that in some spaces it is possible to
  379. 27:00increase physical defense, yes.
  380. 27:02The screen at the top describes what the
  381. 27:04cursor is highlighting.
  382. 27:07Ability.
  383. 27:09These spaces contain spheres. Did you
  384. 27:12see that the boss fight before left us
  385. 27:14an Ability Sphere? Ok.
  386. 27:17By activating the spheres, the
  387. 27:18characters develop.
  388. 27:20To activate one, you need to move the
  389. 27:22character next to it.
  390. 27:24Let's try.
  391. 27:25We are at level four, okay?
  392. 27:27So, therefore
  393. 27:31Look how beautiful that is. See, right?
  394. 27:34Even just the way it lights up, now
  395. 27:36everything here is extremely sharp-edged
  396. 27:39, colors are extremely visible,
  397. 27:41everything is super high-resolution, but
  398. 27:44back in the day, that slight blur
  399. 27:46created magic because it became not a
  400. 27:49blue outline, but a glow, a brilliance,
  401. 27:51do you understand?
  402. 27:55Ok.
  403. 27:58The range of this sphere, of this
  404. 27:59development area, depends on the
  405. 28:01character's Sphere Level.
  406. 28:04Aha, I don't think it's important to say
  407. 28:06this because it's quite evident and
  408. 28:08intuitive enough.
  409. 28:10With AP, the character can increase
  410. 28:11their Sphere Level and move around the
  411. 28:13Sphere Grid. Those who don't participate
  412. 28:15in battles don't earn AP, and therefore
  413. 28:17cannot develop. This is one of the
  414. 28:19differences in Final Fantasy X compared
  415. 28:20to some of its predecessors.
  416. 28:23Alright.
  417. 28:27Clear, because you need to have contact
  418. 28:28with them.
  419. 28:30Let's move forward one space.
  420. 28:39Yes.
  421. 28:40Yes.
  422. 28:42Perfect.
  423. 28:47If it's a path already traveled, a
  424. 28:49single Sphere Level allows you to move
  425. 28:52four spaces.
  426. 28:53However, if you go back too often,
  427. 28:55you'll waste them, so plan your moves
  428. 28:57well. Let's proceed.
  429. 28:59Once the character has moved, we
  430. 29:01activate the nodes using spheres.
  431. 29:03Spheres are obtained in battle and in
  432. 29:04other ways.
  433. 29:05Press.
  434. 29:07Use.
  435. 29:09Here we go.
  436. 29:14For example, Power Spheres activate
  437. 29:16nodes for Strength, HP, and Defense.
  438. 29:20These are some more specific and
  439. 29:22important details. Ability Spheres
  440. 29:23activate the ability nodes.
  441. 29:27The nodes you can activate are the ones
  442. 29:28your character is currently on or those
  443. 29:30immediately adjacent.
  444. 29:32So that also clears up the question: if
  445. 29:34we hadn't moved one level, but three,
  446. 29:36and we had positioned ourselves on that
  447. 29:38shield down there, under the six of the
  448. 29:40Magic Sphere, could we have activated
  449. 29:42all three? Absolutely, yes.
  450. 29:46Perfect.
  451. 29:48Please.
  452. 29:51I am often slow to narrate during the
  453. 29:54initial episodes, but oh, that shockwave
  454. 29:56that deforms the map—or rather, it's
  455. 29:59actually a texture map now, but, well,
  456. 30:01it's it's magnificent.
  457. 30:05Perfect, we have unlocked the Cheer
  458. 30:07ability.
  459. 30:09To develop everything else, you proceed
  460. 30:11in the same way.
  461. 30:12Using a Power, Magic, or Speed Sphere
  462. 30:14allows you to increase the respective
  463. 30:16stats.
  464. 30:17Furthermore, the same node can be
  465. 30:19activated by multiple characters.
  466. 30:21Do you see that blue diamond up there?
  467. 30:25Perfect, that's Tidus.
  468. 30:28Finally, on the Sphere Grid, there are
  469. 30:30locks that prevent passage.
  470. 30:32Explanations regarding these will be
  471. 30:33given when they are removed.
  472. 30:35Obviously, with special spheres or a
  473. 30:36method not yet explained, we will be
  474. 30:38able to overcome locks similar to those
  475. 30:39level 3 ones, right there, down on the
  476. 30:41right.
  477. 30:44Now let's look at the Sphere Grid
  478. 30:45functions. Oh, by pressing triangle you
  479. 30:47can check the characters' status.
  480. 30:52Mhm.
  481. 30:53This is very Final Fantasy VIII.
  482. 30:55Take this information into consideration
  483. 30:57for proper development.
  484. 30:59By pressing L1 or R1, yep, you can
  485. 31:02switch characters.
  486. 31:06It's useful for developing them
  487. 31:08consecutively or for comparing their
  488. 31:09stats.
  489. 31:10By pressing Select, you can expand your
  490. 31:11view of the Sphere Grid.
  491. 31:16Quite a spell, huh?
  492. 31:18That is all. Now try to power up Tidus.
  493. 31:22Now
  494. 31:24let's really do it.
  495. 31:27See?
  496. 31:29The tutorial didn't mean anything, there
  497. 31:31was absolutely no forced path or
  498. 31:32anything, but obviously we can't do
  499. 31:34anything else for now.
  500. 31:36This Sphere Grid, guys, is one of the
  501. 31:38most beautiful things I remember from my
  502. 31:41experience with Final Fantasy X and in
  503. 31:43Final Fantasy X, because it was
  504. 31:45effectively like a spell, as I said
  505. 31:47before.
  506. 31:48It’s something that throws you into a
  507. 31:50world that doesn’t even seem technical
  508. 31:53at first, but is immense and under your
  509. 31:55control, yet in its own way, it’s
  510. 31:57ineffable, because it’s not just a
  511. 31:59level-up, but a platform on which to
  512. 32:01chart a path and unlock abilities you
  513. 32:03can spoil for yourself.
  514. 32:06You can go and see that the "Legs"
  515. 32:07ability exists, you can go to the very
  516. 32:09end and discover what’s hidden at the
  517. 32:11bottom, meaning right at the character’s
  518. 32:13dead end, what the last thing they’ll
  519. 32:15learn is. It’s beautiful. It is truly,
  520. 32:17truly beautiful, and so there’s white
  521. 32:20magic, black magic, magic no.
  522. 32:22Blue magic maybe not.
  523. 32:26Soon, soon, guys, we’ll get to talk
  524. 32:27about everything. That’s the spirit of
  525. 32:29an expert. However, it also has a flaw,
  526. 32:31clearly. This is one of the very first
  527. 32:33iterations of Final Fantasy that leads
  528. 32:35to having characters more or less all
  529. 32:36identical to each other once you
  530. 32:38complete the absolute path, because one
  531. 32:40thing is the path, another is covering
  532. 32:42the entire Sphere Grid in the endgame,
  533. 32:44as obviously any enthusiast would want
  534. 32:45to be able to do, right? It can be done
  535. 32:48, but obviously it homogenizes
  536. 32:50everything a bit; while yes, there is
  537. 32:52certainly no job system distinction, for
  538. 32:55heaven's sake, every character will have
  539. 32:57unique traits that we will discuss in
  540. 33:00due time. So for now, I’m going back to
  541. 33:01the menu; I don't even want to have him
  542. 33:03take that level.
  543. 33:05We’ll advance shortly. However,
  544. 33:11we promised to talk to the big guy.
  545. 33:16Thank you. Three Potions.
  546. 33:37Ah!
  547. 33:39His natural habitat.
  548. 33:41Just being able to see the fingers on a
  549. 33:42hand in a Final Fantasy character, guys
  550. 33:44, was mind-blowing.
  551. 33:46Now,
  552. 33:50down there there’s something interesting
  553. 33:52and you can absolutely dive in to
  554. 33:54continue the story, but see?
  555. 33:56You can do something else, there’s a
  556. 33:58small programming oversight here.
  557. 34:00Oh, but of course, little Al Bhed. See,
  558. 34:03I just wanted to ask the big guy for a
  559. 34:05second if he had already given me his
  560. 34:06Potions.
  561. 34:10Exactly, guys. If you change screens, it
  562. 34:13resets.
  563. 34:15So, well, let's do our thing, right?
  564. 34:38We'll go as soon as you're ready.
  565. 34:39Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
  566. 34:41come here, come here.
  567. 34:43Ah!
  568. 34:48They’re absolutely useless.
  569. 34:50Hey guys, I mean, it’s fine to take
  570. 34:53thirty or so if you really want to abuse
  571. 34:56this little glitch, but 99 Potions is
  572. 34:58just for the achievement.
  573. 35:03Let’s go.
  574. 35:05Let’s go, come on.
  575. 35:07Away!
  576. 35:10Let’s finally go down.
  577. 35:15In short, Tidus’s adventure is quite
  578. 35:17eccentric so far.
  579. 35:21He's adapting, let's put it that way.
  580. 35:26And
  581. 35:28this is our first random encounter.
  582. 35:33I know, I'm saying it often in these
  583. 35:35first episodes, but you either know or
  584. 35:38should imagine what it meant to see the
  585. 35:40screen shatter like that.
  586. 35:44It was a daydream that was incredible,
  587. 35:48everything was incredible.
  588. 35:52And even if we'll soon have the chance
  589. 35:54to attack multiple enemies with the
  590. 35:56grenades I stole, I promised you
  591. 35:57something else first.
  592. 36:05Here we are.
  593. 36:08Anyway, theatricality aside guys, I
  594. 36:10promised you a deep dive into the
  595. 36:12Overkill.
  596. 36:13The point is this, and it's basically a
  597. 36:15topic I anticipated because one happened
  598. 36:17in the last episode, we got one thanks
  599. 36:19to a critical hit, if you remember.
  600. 36:21Guys, it's extremely simple and it's one
  601. 36:24of the most satisfying mechanics in
  602. 36:26Final Fantasy X. Imagine a monster, any
  603. 36:28enemy.
  604. 36:29It will have max HP, right? Perfect. Its
  605. 36:31hit points.
  606. 36:33Well, if the final blow it receives has
  607. 36:35a value exceeding that number by a
  608. 36:36certain percentage, you get an overkill
  609. 36:38, which is the English term for it.
  610. 36:42The most common is 150%, and if you kill
  611. 36:44with an Overdrive move that has
  612. 36:46multipliers, by the way, they add up.
  613. 36:49This always applies. And even though
  614. 36:52there is a small exception we'll face in
  615. 36:54the future, okay?
  616. 36:55Which is completely outside of this
  617. 36:57whole discussion, it's a rule that
  618. 36:58excludes, sorry, there are actually a
  619. 37:00few exceptions.
  620. 37:02Special bosses, the secret ones that
  621. 37:05will need the damage cap right from the
  622. 37:07start to get an overkill, which I won't
  623. 37:09spoil for you today, well, as a rule
  624. 37:11it's still absolute and can only get
  625. 37:14easier because, usually, monsters with
  626. 37:16tons of HP, those with tens of thousands
  627. 37:18, often need a much lower percentage to
  628. 37:21get an overkill, really easy.
  629. 37:24The bonus this grants the player is even
  630. 37:27more obvious.
  631. 37:29Often it's double the AP, which is
  632. 37:31essentially the experience we saw, and
  633. 37:33also drops, whether rare or common.
  634. 37:36And so it's something you try to achieve
  635. 37:38always and anyway because you level up
  636. 37:40faster and consequently you get more
  637. 37:42drops because you'll Overkill more often
  638. 37:43, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, right?
  639. 37:46You'll see.
  640. 38:04How nice to be able to see
  641. 38:08these technologies at this resolution.
  642. 38:16Great idea, Tidus.
  643. 38:22The selfie style works in real life too
  644. 38:24, I'm sure of it.
  645. 38:32Look.
  646. 38:35There are no items to recover here
  647. 38:38but
  648. 38:51Let's just say Kitase, the director, and
  649. 38:53his collaborators tried to aim for the
  650. 38:55maximum in showing off the power of 3D.
  651. 39:01Oh!
  652. 39:04Well, priority attacks are clearly
  653. 39:05something you can figure out with
  654. 39:07initiative, right?
  655. 39:09A term, let's say, very Final
  656. 39:11Fantasy-esque, or RPG-style in general.
  657. 39:14They start, they have turn priority, and
  658. 39:17obviously we didn't steal our grenades
  659. 39:19by accident.
  660. 39:32See? Four.
  661. 39:34It would have been two.
  662. 39:40Fantastic, fantastic.
  663. 40:04Always trouble.
  664. 40:28Well,
  665. 40:31there really isn't any kind of pathos
  666. 40:33for this.
  667. 40:34It's a beautiful monster. Let's say the
  668. 40:36introduction to Final Fantasy X also
  669. 40:39aimed a lot at being aesthetically
  670. 40:41exciting.
  671. 40:43Let's face it as best we can.
  672. 40:45So you, obviously, steal.
  673. 40:55Come on, come on.
  674. 41:04We don't have much strategy for now, but
  675. 41:06it will be very useful to get some
  676. 41:08grenades.
  677. 41:18Here we go. Sometimes, during battle,
  678. 41:20the word "extra" appears above the
  679. 41:21command window.
  680. 41:23Pressing left will display additional
  681. 41:25commands.
  682. 41:26In this case,
  683. 41:28"Trigger Command"?
  684. 41:37Ways to recover HP
  685. 41:40before this attack. Obviously, I did
  686. 41:43this to show you the trigger command.
  687. 41:45Nonetheless, obviously, once you
  688. 41:47discover this dangerous damage, what's
  689. 41:49the best idea?
  690. 41:50Defend with the triangle button I showed
  691. 41:52you earlier. There should be absolutely
  692. 41:54no doubt about that.
  693. 41:57Well,
  694. 41:59let's start using the potions that are
  695. 42:00actually worth something.
  696. 42:06This heals 1000, while the regular one
  697. 42:12200.
  698. 42:13It’s always a matter of deciding which
  699. 42:15one to use based on the character's max
  700. 42:17HP, clearly.
  701. 42:18Now, though, his back is turned.
  702. 42:31Oh no, I insist.
  703. 42:33I’d like to steal at least one more
  704. 42:34before I start throwing them at you.
  705. 42:47Perfect.
  706. 42:51Oh, overdrive.
  707. 42:54For then.
  708. 42:56Underwater, guys, new animation.
  709. 43:03Grenade damage.
  710. 43:20Oh, well.
  711. 43:25Now.
  712. 43:35Gotcha.
  713. 43:38Grenade.
  714. 43:42With what physical strength do these
  715. 43:43people throw a grenade underwater?
  716. 43:46This girl is special, don't you think?
  717. 43:57It was worth it, right?
  718. 44:05Everything according to plan.
  719. 44:50It worked.
  720. 45:47It’s huge, whatever it is. It looks like
  721. 45:49a ship, though.
  722. 46:09Heh heh.
  723. 46:16A submerged airship.
  724. 46:20Oh, Final Fantasy.
  725. 46:28Rightfully offended.
  726. 46:30Poor guy.
  727. 47:03Oh lord.
  728. 47:54Drunk from eating, basically.
  729. 48:58I didn't want to interrupt before, but
  730. 49:00I'll add it in post.
  731. 50:05Yeah.
  732. 51:08Fix your eyes, please.
  733. 53:02Ouch, ouch, ouch.
  734. 53:06It’s basically been a rollercoaster so
  735. 53:08far, guys, but we’ve discovered
  736. 53:09something. For instance, in these 1000
  737. 53:12years in the future, we still live in a
  738. 53:14society, or at least a culture, in a
  739. 53:16world where a religion exists. If
  740. 53:18something holy exists, evidently there
  741. 53:19is a cult behind it.
  742. 53:22We are finally about to finish the
  743. 53:23prologue, we're there.
  744. 53:26We’re getting to the heart of the start
  745. 53:28of Final Fantasy X. You’ll see, if you
  746. 53:31don’t know it, very soon vibrant colors
  747. 53:33and a powerful story will arrive,
  748. 53:38told with extreme love.
  749. 53:42See you next time.
