Arguably the laughing one, since I'd say it's almost always brought up when people talking about the game.

Otherwise, a bit hard to say. I feel like the sending at Kilika might be it. Tbh, even the "this is my story scene" around the campfire in Zanarkand could be it.

Suteki Da Ne scene feels like it's what the devs wanted to go for as the iconic scene, but I don't think it particularly stands out.

What feels like it defines the game and its themes more is the Yunalesca scene, I think. Everyone gets their own lines about it, and it reinforces the themes they're going for in a blunt way.

The truth of the Pilgrimage and the pre-Zanarkand, "This is my story," are also pretty iconic but don't encapsulate the game as much.

The first Sending is clearly designed to be your first major impression of the game, as well, visually speaking.

The sending Yuna does at that dock town.

That or the one that plays at the very beginning, when they're nearly to Zanarkand.

I was in the coffee shop, running away from home when I heard the news. Our hero, Jecht, gone. Vanished into thin air! My dad must have been his biggest fan. I knew how sad he'd be. Heck, we all were that day. "Zanar", I say to myself, "What are you thinking?" I went running straight back home. We sat up talking 'bout Jecht all night. My dad and I never talked so much. Whoa... Didn't mean to reminisce, folks. Anyway... Ten years later, the Jecht Memorial Cup tournament is today! The two teams that have won through to the finals are... of course, the Abes from A-East, and the Duggles from C-South. I know there's a lot of people out there today to see the star of the Abes! In just one year, he's become the team's number one player! He's Jecht's blood, and the new hope of blitzball! What kind of super play will he show us today? Will we see father's legendary shot? I don't think I'm the only one excited here, folks!

Fucking A.

This entire part of the game is where it just non-stop rules. From where the party rests with To Zanarkand playing that you see in the opening, through the ruins and up to Yunalesca. Learning what happened to Auron, Yuna rejecting the meaningless tradition and then altering your entire journey.

Mmm.

For me it's a tie between the Suteki da Ne? scene and the ending on the airship bridge.

Also, Tidus' speech before the final battle really brought a tear to my eye. Man accepted his fate and knew that his sacrifice was for the greater good. So fuck it guys, let's do this and kill this false god.

I don't think people are giving enough credit to the first major attack against Sin on the beach. First time you really get any first-hand sense of just what you're up against, and the battle is cool as hell.

Penance definitely counts. You already beat the game, now you've dug too deep, gone too far, and this thing appears out of nowhere to fuck you up. After an entire voice-acted 60 hour RPG you get a wordless fight that lasts for over an hour. Because that's what you're really here for, right?

Is that the one where Sin stops because of Tidus or did that happen later?

For me it was 100% Tidus finding out The Truth in Home counterpointed by meeting Yunalesca and finding out the truth about the Final Aeon. Yuna goes from being a woman 100% on board with making the ultimate sacrifice to spare the world a few years of suffering to choosing to overthrow thousands of years of stagnation rather than let even one of her friends die with her. The first Sending is pretty iconic too. The line "People die... And Yuna dances" really encapsulates the entire game down to a bullet point.

It's Operation Mi'ihen, where Sin vaporizes the entire army on the beach and then blows up the massive Al-bhed energy cannon on the cliff without taking so much as a scratch.

'The Red Carpet' (aka the gang crashing Seymour's wedding in the airship and riding the chains down to the platform) was the movie-sphere that by far got the most replay out of me.

That whole segment between Home and 'Sudeki da ne' was the peak of the game for me; maybe not the best individual moment (I think I'd have to go with the ending on that one), but everything from Home being raided > the reveal of Yuna's ultimate fate > escaping in the airship > the battle with Evrae > 'The Red Carpet' > escaping Bevelle > Sudeki da ne is my favorite stretch of the game. The only bit that throws a wrench in the whole arc is the Bevelle Temple.

Oh yes. My wife was watching me play FFX and the Hornless bit came up. Then we were watching botchmania that evening after Luchasaurus has his horn cut off and Maffew has played the hornless sound over the clip. Was great. Cemented that scene as GOAT for me forever :)
