Yeah, we've got to ensure that Yuna and everyone else is in relative safety before we can pay much attention to the looming sacrifice threat. One catastrophe at a time.

Plus any attempt at discussing it more than what they did at Home would probably quickly become "talk to Yuna about it" which is tough while she's elsewhere.

Bevelle completely sucks, but the zones after this and up to the end game are very well executed. Some of the best of the ps2 era.

I always forget how the party escapes here until Rikku busts out that flashbomb.

The Bevelle Cloister just sucks. They're all trial and error, but at least the others make a bit more sense. Kilika Spheres make fire, Djose Spheres charge things up, Macarena Spheres make ice things, and Bevelle Spheres do arbitrary stuff. On replays, I generally remember how things work as I go through, here it's just beat my head against it until things go right. And then this is the one where it decides you have to ride a conveyor belt rather than walk. Maybe all the temples have different settings and the bad guys activated tedium mode to slow the party down, but I'm guessing it's just that Bevellians are dicks.

On the other hand, it has my favourite Aeon.

Episode LXXV: Chamber My Fayth

"Inside, maybe?"

"Then what are we standing here for?!"

�Urrrrgggghghhhahhaaaaaa!!!�

�Woah... Easy there!�
�I don't CARE if I poo poo my pants!�
�I... What? Eww...�

"You can stuff your taboos!"

Tidus struggles fruitlessly for the door for a bit. He's putting his all into this and nobody has the heart to tell him you need to flip a switch across the room. Tidus never really got the whole Guardian orientation training course...

But fear not Tidus, turns out Kimahri has your back for this one. Yevon a buncha straight bustas.

gently caress da police!

You're alright, you weird big blue cat dude. I mean, let's be real. You're still the absolute worst a battle. But hey, you step up and have our impulsive idiot hero Tidus' back it counts. There are far, far worse furry companions I've encountered in my time. _{_{_{Yes you, Poshul... Chu-Chu... You pieces of poo poo.}}}

Tidus is going to go it alone to the Chamber of the Fayth here on out. Let's see what the big forbidden hubadub is all about, shall we?

New Music: Song of Prayer ~ Bahamut

Soooo... umm... Hey Yuna. Hey Ghost Kid. Long time no see. Whatcha up to...?

"A fayth.�

�They are human souls, imprisoned in stone by ancient Yevon rites.�

�Yeah... I saw that ghost kid dude back in Zanarkand... Umm... What's the deal with that?�
*glares*
�You're not gonna tell me, even if you know, right?�
*grunts*
�I'll just stop.�

After a bit of awkward hovering in place, Ghost Kid proceeds to fly straight into Yuna's tits. Look... Being some sort of imprisoned soul conduit for magic creatures gets kind of lonely. Don't judge.

The shock of having Ghost Kid pull an E.Honda flying headbutt on her breasts knocks Yuna right out. She's had a rough day all around.

In any case, Yuna is safe...ish. And thus Auron has once more completely lost interest and is out.

Tidus is just going to assume Yuna is done having weird alone time with Ghost Kid and is going to carry her on out to use the nearest save point and recover. That's how this sorta thing works, right?

�Hey, it's fine guys. Yuna is safe. There's nothing to wo��

New Music: Darkness

�...Oh.�
�...�
�I umm... see you guys are busy. I'm gonna... I'm just gonna go...�
*grunts* �The door closed.�
�...�
�...Dang.�

�You are to stand trial."

"Eheh. I expect it will be a fair trial."

*snort* �Pffftt... You always did have a good sense of humor in your... own way.�
*glares*
�Oh... You were being serious...? Oh boy... Ahaha! That's rich.�

�Haha.�

Yeah. This guy seems legit. That's not a Babyface that would lie to you.

But we'll get back to that business later. In the meantime, Yuna has received a new aeon from Bevelle Temple: Bahamut. A series regular ever since the very first game.

Wiki Etymology posted:

Bahamut originated as an enormous whale in ancient pre-Islamic Arabian mythology. Upon Bahamut's back stands a bull with four thousand eyes, ears, noses, mouths, tongues and feet called Kujuta (also spelled "Kuyutha"). Between each of these is a distance of a 500-year journey. On the back of Kujuta is a mountain of ruby. Atop this mountain is an angel who carries six hells, earth, and seven heavens on its shoulders. Another version of the Arabic story is that Bahamut is indeed a dragon and he stands on a whale called Liwash.

In modern times, the game Dungeons & Dragons is responsible for re-imagining Bahamut as the king of dragons, a benevolent Platinum Dragon; the opposite of the malevolent Tiamat, the five-headed Chromatic Queen of Dragons.

TLDR: It's a big gently caress-off dragon they ripped off from Dungeons and Dragons since Final Fantasy began is pretty much a Japanese bootleg of D&D. Anyway, we're going to give the aeon a new title as it enters Yuna's Pokedex.

----- AEON RENAMING: BAHAMUT -----

Let's review the boundaries for naming our new summon...

We�ve only got EIGHT spaces to work with here. So no names over eight spaces!
Suggestions must be BOLDED to make my life easier. If you don't bold it, I'm not going to acknowledge it.
No naming it dongs or any variations thereof. This is a family friendly LP except for all the times it is not.
No using other summons' names. From this game or previous titles. That's just confusing.
Let's avoid the obvious Drakengard dragon names, eh?

Whatever consensus the thread comes to or whatever I think is the funniest will become Bahamut's new ~~slave name~~ loving title.

The thing you need to understand about the Yevonite leaders is that they don't need to do any of the things they do. They just do them anyway because :moreevil:
