10 Huge Gaming Moments That Didn't Matter At All

In the franchise’s PS2 debut, Final Fantasy X centred around Tidus, a Blitzball player with a weird laugh, and Sin, a gargantuan flying whale monster who is also Tidus’ dad (long story). Tidus encounters Sin in the futuristic city of Zanarkand, and is purportedly hurled 1000 years into the future, where he meets the Summoner Yuna.

For 1000 years Sin has terrorised Spira, with only brief ‘Calms’ when it is temporarily dispelled by a Summoner wielding the self-sacrificial ‘Final Summoning’. Over the course of the narrative, Tidus learns that he is a dream, and that he and Sin are both products of the dreaming ‘Fayth’ of Zanarkand, the city’s Summoners who turned themselves into stone in the wake of a war 1000 years previous to create their ultimate weapon: Sin itself.

Realising that the only way to defeat Sin for good is to destroy this Fayth, Tidus, Yuna and the party defy all religious doctrine and fight the beast head on. Whilst they are victorious, this Eternal Calm is bittersweet, as the dream comes to an end and Tidus, with whom Yuna has fallen in love, drifts away.

Except not really. Players who completed the decidedly mixed bag of a sequel were able to bring Tidus back if they completed enough of it, and in the follow up audio drama ‘Will’, Tidus and Yuna are forced to end their relationship following the reappearance of…you guessed it…Sin.

Eternal Calm… sure.
