I hated the fact that it was turned into a simple tourist attraction..a place that we fought so hard to get to in X and all of a sudden people can go there on a whim.
This game came out before I was as versed on the internet as I am now, so due to that, just to hear this song, I would constantly travel to Zanarkand Ruins just to level while listening to this song.
I remember that, when I was younger, I used to to the Ruins, pause the game, and then sit in my bedroom window and watch the sky, especially at dusk with evening approaching - I'd love how the music gave some sacredness to the soft, rose-gold hues as the last rays of sunlight bathed the hills behind my home with a soft glow, the cirrus clouds looked like seashells, and I could enjoy my last days of summer before school started in the autumn... :-)
This song perfectly embodies what Zanarkand is to Yuna; a special, sacred place that was the scene of a major turning point in her life... brought down to the level of a tourist attraction? It's close to going into full-on calm lands territory, but not without a fight!
@ZephyrFate Wow thanks beethoven. But also, this song =/= just piano. Secondly elevator music often has piano in it. Third, this song ~ elevator music.
I remember listening to this, standing at where the fire was, then walking up to the over-looking part. Just as Tidus did from the very beginning. The waves of light.
God, i love these instrumentals. Can someone please tell me what instrument the horn sound is? It's my favorite sound, i've heard it used in a lot of video games. Is it a synthesizer? Or some electric Bagpipe?
Not too bad! I've only played so much of either games. But I can definitely say that Ryukku (Rikku to solely english speakers) is My girl from this set of games from the series! The game series' music has developed quite nicely! ;3
Holy land my tail feathers. That place is a mere tourist attraction. Whatever happened to "The Almighty Never Speak of it Holy Land Zanarkand." They might as well set up a mall where the ruins used to be.
listening to this song i always imagine a different world. how badly i wish everyone could see this world with this music playing through the air. everything thats in my heart is final fantasy. how i can imagine this world being real. i cant take it, the thing i cheerish most to my heart only my imagination. i promise to everyone i will bring this fantasy to reality through videogames for everyone. we will all live in final fantasy world. i promise it with my heart.
@KnucklestheechidnaII They use the same synth sounds. You cam hear those sounds in a lot of things, such as in an episode of Samurai Jack and even during a crocodile mating documentary XD
Hm..I really love FF X-2....and this song is one of my favos in the whole game~....so pretty...but also a lil bit sad...perfect for the Zanarkand Ruins~ <3
I played this before 10 and didn't know why Zanarkand was so important. Now that I've played 10 I got quite angry when they made it a tourist place. It also made me sad since Yuna has lost a place she loves.
@lightningwolf703 Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII does (if you've followed anything with FFVII, this isn't much of a spoiler). Honestly it's my favorite FF game ever. The ending is amazing. :)
I'd recommend playing it, if you played any of the other FF games. Alot of Final Fantasy fans didn't really agree on this game, but I always considered this one my top favorite. I enjoyed every minute of this game, ever since I was 9 I've played this game. *sigh* Time sure passes by when you least expect it to.
I don't know how anybody could trade it, because you'll end up regretting it once you do. You'll be thinking back on those good day on playing a certain game, and there will be that one moment you want to play it then get disappointed and realize you traded it in. So, I'm never giving up this game, you couldn't pay me a million dollars to get rid of it.
@spadermama I agree the alternate endings were a bonus if you ask me but the game did bring closure and a happy ending. I wish that some not all games would follow this path.
@gregorybleach9 FFX wasnt a game that needed a happy ending; it was a story where a character savrafices himself. you dont kill a hero, then force him back. yunas just selfish.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hrm...Someday The Dream Will End was much, much better. I haven't played the game, but this song makes the Zanarkand Ruins seem like just another place...When it was so meaningful in the first game...Really disappointing, honestly.
Zanarkand almost turns into "just another place" and using this song in comparison to the original is supposed to make it seem ordinary and give the sad sense of losing such an important place to Yuna.
@smokypot If that's the point, I, myself, would have changed the scores at 0:28 to give a momentaneous feeling of sadness / losingness (I can't exactly describe it, but a 5 second lower tone with a different melody) and them keep the song as it is, but with another minor changes to give a momentaneous sense of loss. But that's just me and I'm no composer. Yet. MWOHOHOHOHO lol
@smokypot i know that feeling. the first game was spot on. perfect solid story, perfect ending, amazing music. and the fact they had to add to it by making a sequal with a team rocket styled set of enemies, the music doesnt feed your emotion and the story seems like a quick fix to satisfy to bring tidus back :/ i think they shudnt have made this game. :/
@emotionalywrecked It's true. FFX is my favourite game in the series, next to FFIV. I first rented this when I was relatively new to Final Fantasy, and I loved it. When I had the choice to actually buy it, I wasn't too sure, and even as I was playing it, I felt I regretted my purchase. Just playing it wasn't that fun. I certainly didn't enjoy it. But I decided to play it again without taking it too seriously and I liked it. It's pretty pointless, but still fun if you don't take it seriously.
