I can't remember what happens here. I'm guessing they blow up the sky city, or it gets blown up some other way. Sky cities man...people just can't have nice things in RPGs.

What happens here is the best drat battle of the whole game is what it is.

Oh, and I WOULD like to make a little note here of a thing that you have to backtrack to get. HAVE TO. All the way back at Macalania woods, after you see the cutscene leading up to and after the boss? BACKTRACK ALL THE WAY BACK TO loving BESAID RIGHT THEN AND THERE IF YOU ARE PLAYING THE HD REMAKE/INTERNATIONAL EDITION. If you don't? You can't loving power up Auron to his last Overdrive until you're strong enough to fight a Dark Aeon, Dark Valefor Kazooie in particular. Granted, said fight is the EASIEST of the bonus content...but you'll still be missing it until around the end of the game at least.

if you have enough cash then that won't be an obstacle at all.

Man, the summons in this game is the coolest. Much more better than FFXII or FFXIII.

they really are. say what you will bout FFX but they made some of the best summon models of the FF series. They're full of personality.

This must be the dark side of summoning, since we know that Aeons are granted by people who turn themselves into magic shrine statutes so their spirit can sustain others. Seymour's weaponizing souls.

Bearer of the curse, seek souls. Larger, more powerful souls.

Things really come together when you get to Zanarkand. That's one thing the game does well, it ties everything together so it makes sense.

Did they? I know the fans shat all over it.


Spoiler warning. So after the events of FFX-2 when Tidus comes back, he and Yuna go sailing together, they get caught in a storm and lost on an island, where Tidus devolves into horn doggery who only wants to gently caress and Yuna the nagging girlfriend who's cutting him off. Tidus then sees a bunch of spherical objects on the beach they washed up on and kicks one. It was a landmine, he explodes and his decapitated head lands in Yuna's hands. Later, Yuna, grieving over her dead boyfriend, decides to revive him and have sex with him, but it's not really Tidus. Also she utterly hosed up reality and now dead things are coming back to life, including Sin.

In short. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.

The Calm Lands really live up to their name. The music is very relaxed, it's pretty, very open, and all in all I'd love to just lie in the grass there. Just not in the section where Marlboro's are.

I'd also try to block out the thoughts of the gigantic monster below and the ridiculously powerful monsters held at bay by a feeble man in the east

if FF had any realistic semblance the Calm Lands would be filled with people walking their dogs because that's perfect dog walking land.

edit: The church would probably privatize all that land and turn it into a golf resort though.

There's nothing confusing about it, it's just dumb and poorly thought out. Just like everything else in that game that isn't the soundtrack, Triple Triad, Doomtrain and Laguna/Kiros/Ward.
