8 Secret Video Game Endings Not Worth Your Time

2. Final Fantasy X-2 - The "Perfect" Ending

Thanks to my childhood being absolutely absorbed by the franchise, Final Fantasy has always been a series that I've willingly explored from top to bottom, hunting out secrets, hidden weapons, bonus materia, rare cards, and of course a cheeky final summon or two for good measure.

And of course, when I heard rumblings that Final Fantasy X-2 contained a super secret ending that could only be achieved through 100% completion, you best believe that I crossed off all planned events on my calendar to dedicate the time needed to see this for myself. For the record this wasn't actually too much of a sacrifice because I was only like sixteen or so at the time so my schedule was mostly "play video games and enjoy not having to pay council tax", but still, I was dedicated!

However, I bloody well wish I hadn't been so keen, because this game really slapped me in the Blitzballs as it presented a huge list of optional content to find, unlock and defeat in order to attain the "Perfect" ending, and the fact that it's on a list like this with a title involving "not worth your time" should really tell you how it all wrapped up.

For all the blood, sweat, and tears I got to see Tidus and Yuna finally reunited in the Farplane, and I know what you're thinking "wow! That's actually amazing! That two lovers torn apart by fate are finally back together again! That sounds amazing!"

Except there's just one problem, that being when Yuna directly asks "wait a minute pal, you're a dream of the Fayth so how in the heck can I be sure you're actually real and not just going to fart out of existence again" to which, and I can't believe they went with this take, Tidus responds "...Ayyyyy don't worry about it, I'm sure it'll be fine" and then pushes you into a puddle.

NO. EXCUSE ME. I would like some answers please you blonde-haired !*$%! This is so very far from concrete that I'm already falling through the floor! Perfect my ass.
