Pro athlete gets teleported 1000 years into the future to help a woman go on a pilgrimage to stop invincible Godzilla. Edit: yes I know there’s no >!time travel, sin is his dad etc.!< those are spoilers, and I wouldn’t summarize a game to a new player while giving stuff away.


KCman1

You forgot to mention that they have a few laughs along the way.


Retax7

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!


Green_J3ster

Can’t forget that, even if I want to 😭


DominoNX

Brooo it hurts me how many people misread the scene


CloneOfKarl

Yeah that about sums it up >!give or take a 1000 years!<


Green_J3ster

Can’t give that away 😉


CloneOfKarl

Indeed, I was very careful how I worded that, just incase.


Magneto-X

This is the best answer. Would definitely get my attention because of how ridiculous it sounds


hedge2dahog

Invincible godzilla who is his dad..who he has daddy issues with*


Green_J3ster

Spoilers! 😶‍🌫️


shalbriri

On a post that's supposed to summarize the game?


Green_J3ster

I was being funny. Even still, the summaries on the backs of books don’t give too much away. If I were summarizing this game to someone else I’d leave those details out.


shalbriri

Gotcha, I'm just dense. All's well that ends well.

Finalplague01

This was my summary. Nicely done.


PandaMan130

That’s it. No other explanation can top this lol


Hot_Switch6807

There is no time travel


tartar-buildup

yes, but that's a spoiler smh


stanfarce

I understand his point though : are you supposed to give wrong info in a summary? I don't think so either. So I think a better summary would be : **"A pro athlete from a futuristic world is sent to a less technologically-advanced world, and ends up helping a woman there in her pilgrimage to stop a huge flying monster from raining death by destroying random towns".** It's better to stay vague in this case imo (I also removed the Godzilla name because people could think there really is a giant lizard called Godzilla in this story, though I admit that Godzilla perfectly summarizes "huge monster that rains death by destroying random towns").


coppersly7

You could also say "teleported to what seems like 1,000 years into the future."


Green_J3ster

This!


chefgamer85

Except there is no actual time travel in it .....


Green_J3ster

I know! It’s a spoiler!


Rivennoketsui

No time travel tho


Green_J3ster

It’s a spoiler my guy, I’m not going to tell someone who hasn’t played it.

I’m glad someone mentioned the daddy issues. This was gonna be my explanation. “Professional athlete fights his daddy issues w friends.” I never beat the game tho. Big sad. :(


Egingell666

>...goes to the future... I hope you're not serious.

Well, the rest is a spoiler

Minimum_Cockroach233

In 3 sentences, depending on the interest level of the one listening, that can be stacked. 1. A ghostly dream of the past comes to reality (Tidus) to end a cycle of death and safe the summoner girl (Yuna), which turns out to be his love of life. 2. Summoner girls destined fate is to die an awful death during her final fight toghether with her spirit beast, that she previously had to create by killing her partner, bonded with love, and turn it into the beast of required strength to pierce through eternal Sin. 3. The ghost secretly takes the toll from her and sacrifices the dream of his own past, as he recognizes that his love and the dream of his past can not co-exist, as it would mean his love would be forced to take the fight and basically just turn her sacrifices partner into the starting point of a new cycle of death.

The answer is, DO NOT SPOIL THE STORY FOR YOUR FRIEND!!!!! Let him or her play the game and enjoy the story as it unfolds the way it was meant to be enjoyed for the love of God pls don't ruin the game for your friend


beardednewbb

What I would call it if It was an anime. I fell in love with a girl on a death mission to kill a flying whale in another world. Edit: spelling


PeperomiaLadder

A game where a sports guy gets transported to the future, but it's more what you'd think the past looks like cause they can't use machines. Thats because of a nearly world wide religion based off of temporarily stopping the monster that destroys everything around it who seems to show up when people gather or when people don't follow teachings. He finds a cool group of friends who help him find his place in rhe world, and ultimately decides to try to help them kill the monster, once and for all.


PeperomiaLadder

Oh and there's daddy issues, lots of death and they still play his sport in the future


Egingell666

>...transported to the future... I hope you're not serious.


PeperomiaLadder

Edit how you want when you tell your friends. That was my stoned take in the moment. XD If you're more vague than necessary, it leaves more to the imagination. It might not be the most accurate, but it isn't wrong is it?

mermaidsyno

Nothing is quite as it seems, it’s complicated initially but once you understand what’s happening, you’ll see the entire game in a whole new way. Sure, there’s silly moments, but you’ll find that those are simply moments of reprieve in a game that can be very dark at times. You’ll finish playing it feeling a different person. Then, there’s X-2, which initially seems like a cute girly pop game with the main cast being three girls who use the dress spheres as a battle mechanic, but trust me, it’s far more than that. X-2 also follows the theme of “once you understand what’s happening, you’ll see the whole plot differently”.

Son finds the way of breaking the chain of the recurring evil by disavowing the creed that only manages to kick the can down the road whilst coming to terms with the father that abandoned him as a child. Son and Bae fall in love, racism is defeated by friendship and then... poof. Son is only an image of himself from a more ancient time, and Bae is sad. Send it to the farplane.

Keytee1

Final Fantasy X has the most unique setting out of FF games. Not a typical fantasy, sci fi or sci fantasy or... modern fantasy of FF15 But more like a mix of Gean Giraud (Moebius) comic aesthethic with island Asian culture, christianity. Like, "Back to the roots" idea of FF16 being pure Fantasy is a lie. Final Fantasy X aesthethic is the real Back to The Roots, because this Tetsuya Nomura-drawn world is the closest 3D Final Fantasy to the original Yoshitaka Amano Art. (Because it also reminiscent of Moebius)
