sleepy.eyes posted:Nora. Seconding this. I also have no idea how I never considered the weirdness of the tank or noticed Yuna teleporting during the Seymour scene when I first played this.  McDragon posted:Also I like that Yuna's description of the sphere back in the Thunder Plains is that the gist is "please take care of my son" and then you get here and it turns out Jyscal basically did request that, but meant it in a more Al Pacino way.

All caught up. On the topic of the Seymour fight, his buddies aren't immune to petrification, so Kimahri is useful if you have Stone Breath. Fleetingly. They really should've given him Dragoon attack skills or something for his Grid.

I actually kinda liked the Cloister of Trials. In the sense that the temples are all designed in really neat ways and I liked getting treasures. I even like seeing the various kinds of spheres.  That being said, having the Cloister of Trials occur right after you killed Seymour is kind of awkward. Unless the Guado specifically set up the temple this way in the event that some Summoner tried to murder a Maester. Speedball posted:So, you think Tromell actually looked at that sphere or do you think he's just smashing it out of spite because "whatever the hell was on that drat thing made them KILL OUR KING!" Judging by lines he gives later when you revisit Guadosalam and his behavior in X-2, he did not look at it. Blueberry Pancakes fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Oct 8, 2015 |

FeyerbrandX posted:The real villain is Neopotism. And Yuna and Tidus are just as bad as anyone else. And the kind of isolationism of each ethnic group. Sure, they can all come together in Luca, but you have people saying things like "The Guado take care of Guado affairs", "Let the Ronso handle their own problems", pretty much EVERYTHING involving the Al Bhed, etc. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but we don't even see Hypello outside of the Moonflow, which makes me wonder if that kind of thing extends to the smaller races as well.

Jyscal was already sent by Yuna, so he should be fine. Doesn't stop his unsent from being a boss in the sequel's bonus dungeon, though. Somehow. (X-2 Details)

The Dark Id posted:So a ten ton tank rolling out onto the ice firing gatling guns and laser cannons didn't so much as put a dent onto the frozen ice. But an angry, mostly dead yeti doing a downward heavy punch before keeling over dead shatters the lake's surface immediately? I probably should have stopped thinking about Spira physics back when blitzball was introduced, huh...? I'm glad you said something about it, because I was certainly going to.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Time for your regularly scheduled dose of Sin Toxin. Sin seems to alternate between destroying places and showing up where Tidus is. Even as a killer space whale, Jecht still cares about his son's well-being.  DukeofCA posted:I'll throw my hat into the not knowing it was Sin pile as well. I always took it to be that the moment the Fayth stopped singing was when Sin showed up. Same here. Lumberjack Bonanza posted:You know we hear all this poo poo about Sin Toxin being deadly, but our party has been exposed quite a few times and now they'd might as well be mainlining it. To be fair, it's got precedent. Final Fantasy IX talks about how the Mist causes abnormalities in the mind, yet you travel through it the whole game without issue. Onmi posted:Jecht was the worst father when he last saw his son as a human so now he's trying to make up for it. Of course now Jecht is a giant space whale harbinger of all destruction and every time he takes Tidus to see a ball game and their team is losing he gets mad and annihilates the entire stadium, killing everyone. This sounds plausible enough to be canon.

Also again, I am had just done a face plant from... look, I never was much of a numbers guy except blitzball points so... it was pretty high!
"Huh...? Hey! Are you saying I'll never be like Rikku! Kimahri!"

Malachite_Dragon posted:It never really bothered me that much, but I was A) a teenager who didn't think about that kind of poo poo much and B) If Sin can teleport Tidus from Zanarkand to Spira, it probably wouldn't take much more to slingshot them into the loving desert. Given the gif above, I don't think that requires spoiler tags. Speedball posted:Yeah, I'm waiting until this LP is over, but I really wanna link the video of Tidus and Jecht throwing down. Tidus manages to be really badass. The first Dissidia game had some really great Character vs. Villain final showdown videos. Be sure to show the clips from Shade Impulse, too.

Camel Pimp posted:You know, I kinda got that feeling too. There's a dude in Kilika who snaps at you when you talk to him, honestly a pretty reasonable reaction considering what just happened, and a lady who says "oh forgive him the toxin got to him." I started to wonder if sin's toxin wasn't actually real and people just use Sin as an explanation for weird behavior and mental problems and all that. Maybe Sin's Toxin got to Seymour.

Tidus' lack of familiarity with things makes sense, given that there's a lot that wouldn't have been around during his time. The whole of Yevon, for instance, given that Sin wasn't around then. Then there's the fact that Sin has been around for 1000 years blowing up places and probably requiring the map to be redrawn a lot.

More Al Bhed for me to translate!Geostomp posted:Man, everyone's hometown is getting invaded in this game. Besaid is fine! MechanicalTomPetty posted:So is it ever explained at all how in the hell Seymour knew about Home, the top-secret Al-Bhed hideout that Rikku made everyone promise to shut up about ahead of time? Well, Wakka calls them sand-blasted earlier in the game, so I guess everyone is aware they live in the desert. Yevon's higher ups keeping tabs on the location of Home for potential genocide isn't too much of a stretch. I just want to know how the Guado got a raid together on the desert that fast. We only see one airship in this game!

ultrafilter posted:We don't know how long the party was under the effects of Sin. It could've been a while. True. There are a number of points in recent updates where an indeterminate amount of time passes. Neddy Seagoon posted:It was already happening, Yuna and Co. just happened to stumble onto it while it happened. I was under the impression this attack was revenge for the kidnapping attempt on Yuna in Macalania, unless I'm remembering something incorrectly. Gaz-L posted:By the way, the suggestion TDI made of Yuna going down the Black Magic grid path? Is a very good idea. In order to make her healing magic work, Yuna has a weirdly high magic stat, that means she hits like a loving truck once she gets some offensive spells. She's honestly a better Black Mage than Lulu.

You know, now that I think of it, the Al Bhed thought Tidus was a fiend in human form. I wonder if there are any unsent Al Bhed running around Bikanel and their separation from Spira has them in the dark about that.

Man I love Petrify Grenades. The petrification effect in X is so awesome..jpg) I always wondered why it seemed like Wakka missed a word here. Onmi posted:I don't remember the PR guy. You've probably repressed memories of him. I honestly thought that he stopped in battles, though. The Dark Id posted:
The funny thing is that he's older than Rikku. So he was named Brother before Rikku was born. Unless they're twins and he was named after they both came out.  Geostomp posted:So, Tidus is finally going to put two and two together about the incredibly subtle hints that Summoners probably aren't gonna have a fun time at the end of their trips? To be fair, for a world where a space whale blows up civilizations regularly, Summoners go out and die fighting it (or on the way to fighting it), and the Unsent come back leaving you sphere telling you to whack a guy, Spirans really love dancing around the topic of death. Then again, you'd think Tidus would start to get suspicious about the fact Braska isn't around anymore or at least ask Auron about it.
