Line 69:
* [[Belated Happy Ending]]: In ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''.
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: [[Bonus Boss|Penance]], the Ultimate Dark Aeon, in [[No Export for You|the International version]]. At maximum character potential, it takes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIZA3P4hEWI 30 MINUTES] and can [[One Hit KO]] your characters.
* [[BFS]]: Both Tidus and Auron wield these. So does Jecht, {{spoiler|especially as the penultimate boss, "the Final Aeon". That same sword is later used as the platform where the party ''stands'' in the [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield]] against Yu Yevon}}.▼
* [[BGM Override]]: The trek down to Zanarkand is the most notable (and serves as the page quote for the trope), but the game does this for some other sequences as well, with a new spin on it due to the smooth transition from overworld to battles used some places.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: The apparently-gibberish Hymn of the Fayth, if written down and then read in a certain manner, becomes a Japanese prayer to Yevon.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Yu Yevon is defeated and Spira is finally freed from the eternal terror of Sin. However, doing so costs Tidus his life, leaving Yuna to go on through life without him. Her last words to him: "I love you". However, it is hinted that there's a chance for Tidus to return. In the sequel, he does if the player makes the right choices}}.
* [[Black and White Morality]]: Slightly lost in the translation, but the Japanese kana for "Yevon" and "Al Bhed" can be read as "Ebon" and "Albedo"... "black" and "white". Now think about what those groups represent in-game, and... [[Fridge Brilliance|yeah]].
▲* [[
* [[Blatant Lies]]: {{spoiler|The heads of the Church of Yevon know everything about the origins and purpose of Sin, yet they choose maintain the population in ignorance with a false creed. They also use forbidden machina in their temples while excommunicating everyone else who makes use of them}}.
* [[Bleak Level]]: The beach, post-Sin wreckage.
Line 202:
* [[Kid with the Leash]]: Although a bit older than most, the summoning animations put a lot of emphasis on Yuna's role as this, often with her stroking or petting the monstrous Aeon before sending it into battle. The animation for Ixion has her literally using a bolt of lightning as a leash to pull Ixion out of a portal, and she hugs Valefor lovingly around the neck and pets her beak before sending her into battle. Some of the Aeons subvert this: Bahamut is so badass that he doesn't ''need'' to be petted (instead only forcing Yuna to stumble as he lands on the ground), and Anima's emergence cuts to Yuna with a "Did I really want to to do this?" look on her face.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Maester Mika seems to carry out this trope. At a couple of different points, Auron mentions that Mika and Seymour are "not of one mind", and Mika would not approve of Seymour wanting to {{spoiler|destroy the whole world}}. In his conversation with the party right before he {{spoiler|sends himself}}, Mika states that he doesn't want to see Spira destroyed by Sin, and genuinely thinks that there's no other way to stop it than sending summoners on their pilgrimages to bring about the Calm. The problem though is the means he and the rest of the church use to enforce the status quo, such as {{spoiler|lies, forced marriages and murder}}.
* [[Last Girl Wins]]: Yuna is the last of the three female leads that Tidus meets, and he ends up kissing her in Macalania and starting a quasi-relationship with her that {{spoiler|ends tragically when he disappears at the end, only to be started back up again at the conclusion of ''Final Fantasy X-2''}}.
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: Some versions of the manual that comes with the game feature advertisements for ''Final Fantasy X-2'', including Yuna. Kinda makes the revelation {{spoiler|she's expected to sacrifice herself to destroy Sin}} a bit hollow.
* [[Letter Motif]]
Line 226:
** The spelling of Tidus is also similar to 'tides'. What is it that affects the tides, and what is Yuna named after?
** A more subtle one: The Japanese way of saying Sin's name is "Shin", which can be translated as "Truth", as in the truth that's being concealed about it. It's also the word for "death". Considering what it leaves in its wake, rather appropriate.
* [[The Mindless Almighty]]: {{Spoiler|Yu Yevon becomes a god which creates a dream-like recreation of his home city by possessing aeons, but a thousand of years later his consciousness has been reduced to nearly nothing but an instinct to possess aeons. And if he isn't possessing an specially powerful Aeon empowered by his daughter Yunalesca, he can be easily killed, what makes the final boss fight in the game completely trivial to the party once Braska's Final Aeon is defeated}}.
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Yuna is half Al Bhed, and as a result has one green eye (though she lacks the spiral pupil that most Al Bhed have) and one blue.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Lulu and Auron. But especially [[Exposition Break|Maechen]].
Line 296 ⟶ 297:
** One of the earlier bosses is an octopus-like creature named [[Final Fantasy VI|Tros]].
** Anima bears a resemblance - in both form and origin - to [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Eva-01.]]
** When you think about it, you can't help but notice some similarities between ''Final Fantasy X''{{'}}s ending and ''Final Fantasy VI''{{'}}s ending: {{spoiler|in both games, the source of power of the protagonists disappear at the end of the game; in ''Final Fantasy VI'', magic and Espers disappear from the world; in ''Final Fantasy X'', Fayth and Aeons disappear. In both games, these phenomenons happen when the party is on an airship. Terra is directely linked to Espers, being a demi-Esper herself; as for Tidus, he's a creation of the Fayth, and is only able to exist because of them. Both are affected by the post-game events. Terra managed to survive the change, losing her Esper half. Tidus, on the other hand, completely fades out of existence}}
* [[Sibling Team]]: The Magus Sisters, especially their [[Combination Attack|Delta Attack]] [[Limit Break|Overdrive]].
* [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: {{spoiler|Seymour}}.
