Beclem -

Sin (dead) - Labbu

Characters Not Replacing Other Characters:

Pim (also a Gullwing)

Worm/Arp (sealed away with Kappa? Either way, he’s a good Axolotl doggo)

PLOT:

At some point Neth gives Siren +10 cool points since the other two girls are being annoying, and he mentions that makes him at -23 since she once said he was at -33.

Neth: “Congrats. Today you graduate to whole numbers.”

Siren: -half distracted- “I knew I’d get there if I only believed...”

“What are you looking at Siren?”

Siren: “Something strange is going on on the screen...” -all three octo crowd around him- “Do you guys always have to invade my personal space when I’m trying to share the screen??”

All 3: “hmmmm...” THEN

Mono: -nods yes-

Mucku: “Yep”

Neth: “Only way to read it, really.”

Al 3 practically squishing his face with theirs.

Siren gets or has a “Merman” dress sphere. May also be the experimental guinea pig for it which leads to a scene of them seeing Siren in a small pool on deck as a shark mer.

Galoo can read memories as in canon, but also see physical fragments of them when she’s close to or in the farplane. Kind of like what happens in X when following Tidus’s dad around in Zanarkand. She falls in the pit like Yuna did by accident somehow and in the pit sees “Shuyin’s” memories of Zanarkand, and then Shuyin attempts to possess her but she’s saved in time by Mono. Galoo follows a helpful memory out. When they get out, Galoo reveals what she can see and they realize the pits are connected to the farplane.

Kappa is from “another time or world” like Tidus, but isn’t a dream of the Fayth. He’s found trapped in stone and released? Or something similar? When Kappa is center, the audience learns what’s up with him.

Everyone is under a “Water Sign”.

Mono, Mucku, and Neth are still “Octalia” though they’re human bodies because their sign is an octopus, which gives them dark magic. Siren is under the shark, of course, which means he gets to keep his sharp teeth, etc.

Koi fish sign are supposed to be extinct, until Kappa. Holy magic carriers from a thousand years ago.

The Octalia defeated Labbu/Sin, but at a great cost. Before, a sacrifice would be chosen at random via a magic roulette that the Octalia refused to be apart of before as they felt sacrificing someone every ten years to keep Labbu happy before he goes on another rampage was the cowardly way out. They were despised for wanting to fight Labbu rather than appease him, and their people were spared from sacrifice (but not Labbu) for a century due to not joining the roulette.

(Don’t know what the roulette is yet)

Sacrificed persons are known as High Summoners and must still go through the whole shibang to get the final summon, which is the final offering.

Reason from the Octalia never worked and they finally decided to do something about it; they threw their hat in the ring, so to speak, and the new High Summoner was Mono. But the Octalia weren’t about to just sacrifice one of their own. Instead, they used it as an opportunity to get rid of Labbu for good, and succeeded... but now there’s only about a dozen of them left. Mono lost her voice, Mucku lost her memories, and Neth lost her arm per canon.

At some point Mono tosses whoever is Beclem into the ocean for being a piece of garbo, which is what Yuna should have done versus that stupid obstacle course. You have nothing to prove to that douchebag!

When Kappa is found by the Gullwings (keeping the name for now) he becomes part of their crew while trying to figure out this new era... doesn’t hurt that the Navigator is cute.

Like Yuna did for Brother, at some point Kappa overhears Siren very plainly confirming to someone else down at the bar he does have a crush on Kappa. Whoever “Brother” is is lamenting, part drunk, his crush on Mono and Siren reminds him Mono is gay. “Brother” suggests if only he was gay he could just date Siren, who pretends to gag. Siren reminds his friend gay doesn’t mean immediate attraction to every person of the same sex and he only puts up with “Brother” because he knows he’s a good guy who is willing to learn and grow. When “Brother” asks why Siren likes Kappa, Siren easily says “He’s cute, funny, sweet...”

Kappa likes seeing Siren as a mer-shark and makes terrible fishing pick-up lines at him.

Beclem is such a dick and I hate him 😂😂😂

#RIPBECLEM

[ethernalium]

went to besaid and oh, that beclem is sure a weirdo, I'm not even gonna touch that minigame since I'm pretty sure yuna don't need his approval lol "summoners are worthless" 1000 years of suffering to be reduced to a random npc opinion 😍🥰

[mysafewordisfire]

I'm replaying ffx-2 and am reminded how much of a saint Yuna is. If there was an option to kick Beclem in the balls I would choose it everytime. i would sacrifice percentage points to shut his face up.

Mezzo Plays Final Fantasy X-2: Part 12

With the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth situation cleaned up, it's back off to look for more things to do.

That sounds like it's worth a visit.

Seems the show is a flop. That's a shame.

Well, there's always the next one.

Yuna, are you sure you should be asking that?

Paine: "Yuna, run."

She's got the right idea. Let's get out of here.

There's still a distress call from Besaid to answer.

Actually, things seem to be going fine here. As Lulu explains, Wakka and the Youth League have the situation under control, and they're hunting down the last remaining fiends.

Lulu thinks Yuna should help out, and she agrees.

Outside, we find Shinra setting up another commsphere. He explains what they're used for: They can relay video back to the airship.

Seems to be working. Brother is quite pleased to see his crush, who is also his cousin.

Nearby, we find Wakka talking with a Youth League official.

That's a little extreme, don't you think?

They both head inside the temple, and Yuna follows.

"Praying to them never did anyone any good."

He claims to just be concerned about the safety of the village. Yuna heads inside.

This was the simplest Cloister of Trials in X-1, and it's still super easy to navigate. The fiends in here aren't much of an issue either.

There's Wakka. He looks hurt, but he'll be okay.

That's rather questionable, Paine. Wakka and the other Gullwings aren't going to go along with it. Not yet, at least.

Wakka has a better idea. If this is anything like the other temples, there should be an aeon near the chamber.

The Gullwings head down there.

Yep.

The Gullwings warn Wakka to keep his distance as they deal with the threat.

Valefor was the weakest aeon in X-1, and she more or less reprises that role here. Sonic Wings now drains MP rather than dealing damage.

That said, she's not completely harmless.

Compared to the other aeons we've fought, she isn't nearly as tough to deal with.

I beat her before she even had a chance to use Energy Blast.

"I grew up here in Besaid. This is my home. I became a summoner here."

"This is where I first met you."

With the threat taken care of, Yuna and her crew return to the entrance.

Beclem gives them a lecture, reminding Wakka that he's due to be a father soon.

A bit harsh, but he does have a point.

Still, they won't be burning any temples down today.

Mission complete.

Why, indeed. They weren't coming out of the temples, but the chambers of the fayth. Each had a hole where the fayth once was. And there was a similar hole in the room Vegnagun was stored in.

All this is connected, somehow.

Looks like Gippal couldn't handle the issue on his own after all. Brother wants to just leave him to his own fate.

But Yuna isn't backing down.

@bluemagedanny recommended I go to Bevelle before heading to Djose. Let's check out what's going on over there first.

Wait, Gippal's here? Is that why Djose sent out the distress signal?

The Gullwings follow him into the temple, and find him walking to the chamber of the fayth. What's going on?

He eventually returns to the room Vegnagun was stored in. The Gullwings spy on him from a safe distance.

The other hot guys are here too?

How mysterious.

Baralai explains that Vegnagun has the ability to sense hostile intent.

When Nooj came, it apparently activated on its own and destroyed the wall to escape.

"You probably think that's impossible. You've always been too naive to see. I wouldn't expect you to understand."

"I believed in you once."

That escalated quickly.

Paine? As in, the very same Paine traveling with us?

Pyreflies begin emitting from Nooj's body, and his voice sounds strange, as if two people are talking at once.

"He was too weak to resist me. I don't expect you to present any more of a challenge. Not now."

The pyreflies flow outward from Nooj and into Baralai.

Now he's the one that speaks with two voices.

"Two years ago, it was the same with you, Nooj. Seeking your own death. Now you can have it."

Nooj tells Paine to leave, and a fiend suddenly appears from the wall.

Oh no, it's one of these things. Bad Breath is still a massive pain, but there's the small consolation of it being able to be learned as a Blue Bullet.

Looks like the hot guys ran off while they were fighting.

Paine confirms that she used to be in a squad with them, and that Nooj did end up shooting her in the back. But it seems like she doesn't want to say anything else.

Yuna and Rikku aren't that pleased, but it's not like there's anything they can do.

We also find this sphere. It looks like those four survivors Ormi and Logos talked about on their sphere were the hot guys and Paine. The whole thing raises still more questions.

Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster Part 4 - Chapter 5, Ending and Overall Impressions

I found it so funny when the commsphere Shinra dumped into the hole to the Farplane was fixed by Gippal and he asked Nooj what he’s gonna do about Leblanc since they’re risking their lives there to save Baralai from Shuyin and Vegnagun, and right when Nooj answers, the connection dies, so Leblanc doesn’t get to hear it hahahaha. Good thing is that Leblanc is a straightforward person though, so even if she didn’t get to hear it, then she’ll just go straight to the Farplane to ask him, gotta admire her spirit and her love for him! Hilarious when Brother was talking about his love for the Yuna that keeps facing forward and doesn’t mind that his feelings will never be reciprocated and then tells Barkeep that they’re cool bachelors and then Barkeep is like “Speak for yourself, sonny” in his Hypello way hahahhaha and then a female Hypello comes along LOL. Funniest thing was if you talk to Paine, she’s like, I think I saw two Barkeeps, then she thinks she needs more sleep hahahaha! Buddy talking about how he and Brother formed the Gullwings when they went all the way north to some ice place to find the Celsius (airship) and ended up being guided by a gull and also surviving by eating a gull too LOLL, I guess the gull sacrificed itself for a good cause, because without it, they wouldn’t have formed the Gullwings and then Yuna wouldn’t have joined and saved the world once again haha.

Visiting Zanarkand first since there was apparently a bug in the original game where you might not get the episode complete if you came here last, that would suck! Anyway, not surprised Maechen was an unsent considering him always popping up anywhere he wanted and knowing so many things, I wonder how it feels to live for 1000 years just to tell stories of the past to people and experience so many things. It’s crazy to think how important that handshake was in the beginning of the game, since he was actually the one in that sphere recording who was so happy to have been able to shake Lenne’s hand 1000 years ago! And now that he shook Yuna’s hand, it reminded him of the fact that he’s actually already dead. Glad to know he had a happy long life.

(I don’t know what I did wrong but I don’t think I’m getting 100% and at this point in time, I honestly don’t care anymore because I’ve spent more time being frustrated than playing this game so whatever lol) I still don’t like Beclem btw, so I don’t really care that he’s leaving Besaid lol, the only thing I agree with is that they really do need to work the Besaid Aurochs to the bone! They’re pretty bad lmao. Wakka thinking carefully about what he should name his son was nice, a name is very important, so I think taking your time is good, I’m glad Lulu really wanted him to be the one to name him. I’m surprised Wakka doesn’t think Lulu relies on him at all, like dude! She’s ready to have a baby with you, I doubt she’d do that if she didn’t think you were reliable at all! Have more confidence in yourself, Wakka! I guess everyone is getting back together, lol at Dona having practised her lines so many times for trying to get Barthello back to live with her, since he’s been at Kilika temple all this time as a New Yevon supporter. Your beliefs are important, but so is your partner, so it’s good that everyone has stopped fighting and people can come together again regardless of their beliefs, it’s about time they stopped fighting and whining lol.

Lolll at Rikku being the culprit for the hover crash at Mi'ihen highroad hahahaha! She legit didn’t even notice that the hover crashed because it was trying to dodge her and when she jumped down a ledge, she fell on a machina and that’s why it went crazy lol. She caused so much trouble on the highroad without even realising lolll. Guess it’s good that Rin only made her clean all the rubbish on the road haha. Luca…was really just Yuna walking around reminiscing the memories of spending time with Tidus here, which is nostalgic and nice. Who doesn’t miss Tidus? XD It was kinda cool that we got to fight Lucil, always thought she was pretty cool, I liked her speech and think that she’s a very strong and worthy leader. She knows how to unite and lead people. Even without Nooj, you can tell that the Youth League will be fine with her there.

That Djose machine experiment was very interesting, don’t wanna dig to repair and make it stronger though😢 Lmao at Tobli’s success now when he was in so much debt before, I guess Yuna’s influence can just make everything go well lol. Having Tromell lead the Guado is the best choice. Considering all that the Guado had done and all the reflection they’ve gone through most of the game, with the Ronsos looking forward instead of back as well, it’s for the best that we let go of the past and hope to improve the future instead. I feel like Cid had a very crappy role in this game lol, I liked him in FFX so I’m kinda disappointed that his character is rather…questionable now with the things he did to Zanarkand and not really playing a role to redeem all that. Seeing O'aka and Wantz bond again and take care of the Macalania agency together was heartwarming though, nice to see that these brothers are still doing well and are hopeful for the future!

After finding all the cactuars (lmao at the tenth one being with the “wrong crowd” aka the rogue cactuars that don’t want to fulfill their duties) and lolll, never thought I’d see a Jumbo Cactuar! Easy fight but nice to see it lol. If only it had a moustache hahaha. That boss you have to kill afterwards though, he had so much life! Luckily it was a simple fight and I earned so much AP from it lol. Legit just used two Dark Knights using the darkness skill alongside Yuna Curaga-ing haha, all I did was hold the ‘x’ button to win XD Good to see everyone respect Kimahri again and understand that he’s wise and caring. It’s nice to see that Yuna doesn’t need Kimahri to protect her anymore, so he can now protect his tribe, and although things were a bit rocky, it all worked out! Now on to some annoying sidequests! Accessing the secret chocobo ranch dungeon was easily the most tiring and annoying thing ever. It was SO time consuming. I spent so long looking and capturing chocobos in the Thunder Plains to get 4 that had a max level of 5 zzzz. Then, I had to level them and fight 7 random battles in between until they were all level 5 AND THEN the dungeon itself was annoying because it doesn’t have a map omg. I just googled a map because I couldn’t take it lol. The only good thing about it was getting the AP egg so now one of my characters can earn triple the AP yay! Otherwise, legit so tired lol. Especially since I did the Mi'ihen dungeon as well with all the wall bombing to proceed zzz.

Anyway, things just get more tedious. Was digging at the Central Expanse for the Desert key and to upgrade the machine experiment in Djose and gg, could not find the key at all so I gave up lol. I tried to fight the machine without being properly prepared using my crappy dresspheres and I died hahahaah. I learnt my lesson XD Needed the last two crimson spheres so went to the Via Infinito and dang am I getting motion sickness with all that jumping. My head hurts so much lol. Think I need to level and use my mascot dresspheres though, the elder drake kills me hahaha. Btw, the mascot dresspheres are so cute lmao, Yuna as a moogle, Rikku as a Cait Sith and Paine as a Tonberry is hilarious to look at, I’m going to enjoy using them in battle hahaha. Really cute to see Paine opening up and show her feelings and how much she appreciates Yuna and Rikku being her friends and trying their best to talk to her, it was a funny but nice scene. I never knew/remembered that when Yuna uses the warrior dressphere, her sword is the Brotherhood! That’s so sweet to see!

Kinda surprised that when you go to the Den of Woe, they figure out that Shuyin was the one controlling Nooj and that’s why he shot Paine, Baralai and Gippal when they escaped two years ago, and that now Shuyin is in Baralai’s body. Thought they established that already and that the den made people crazy because of his extreme depression and feelings of having to relive Lenne’s death with the pyreflies since they practically replay strong memories. Anyway, that’s done and dusted so time to finish levelling and go through the Via Infinito? XD Annnnd I gave up on the Via Infinito lol! Got to like level 60 (I think) but I cbb with the way stats work in this game and how you can’t max it etc, so you’re reliant on garment grids, switching dresspheres to get the most benefits such as going past 9999 HP and damage and the accessories, and the tower itself was tedious (and motion sickness inducing LOL, why am I weak) and you don’t even get much out of it (after defeating Penance in FFX and feeling no sense of accomplishment, it’s just so not worth my time lol), so yeah I can’t be bothered😬 Aaaand I spent so much time getting most dresspheres to 100%, I’m tired😖 And lol my characters are like level 99 or close to there because I was so tired of levelling myself….so I kinda cheated and stuck a rubber band on the analog stick to move it to the left and another rubber band with a battery on it to stay on the x button and voila! DIY levelling machine lmao. I just threw Yuna at the Thunder Plains and made someone constantly heal and the rest use skills to max the (annoying) Mascot dresspheres and others lol, yay.

Anyway, Vegnagun! Yes, Leblanc never was the type to just wait there quietly for Nooj to come back haha. And yes, Vegnagun is a machina created by humans so technically, it should be possible to be destroyed without it killing everyone in Spira. But anyway, the best thing was Yuna’s speech to everyone when Nooj suggested to sacrifice himself to kill Vegnagun and Shuyin. I was touched with her words tbh, because she’s right, it was so difficult to see all the fayth die in FFX because they had “no choice” and that they had to “accept” that this is what they had to do, and Yuna did accept it and do it, but in the end, she’s only left with regret, pain and the loss of people that should be beside her that aren’t. They need to stop sacrificing people in order to win, because it’s not really a win when you lose so many before it. And although it’s cheesy to have everyone combine their powers to take down each part of Vegnagun, it’s very sweet too because it feels like the spirit of the game, and it feels like we should get to finally have a happy ending. So weird to see Shuyin use all of Tidus’ skills but just with another name lmao. And as expected, Lenne comes out of the dressphere (pretty much) and so Shuyin finally gets to talk to her properly and fade together with her and rest in peace😊

And omggg the fayth appeared and asked Yuna at the flower field/farplane whether she really wants to see Tidus again! Guess I got 100% completion??? (Edit: I got 99% zzzz) I’m happy that New Yevon (Baralai), Youth League (Nooj) and the Machine Faction (Gippal) can finally unite together and understand that they’re all a part of Spira and really don’t need to fight, although I do think that the fighting between them was rather awkward? They had differing perspectives but they resulted in physical fighting and kinda like war so prematurely without really thinking about it, you really can’t blame Shuyin for being pissed that Spira is still like how it was 1000 years ago lol. Anyway, everyone’s happy now so yay. Yuna really did have another long journey in this game to save the world, so she really should and deserves to go back home to Besaid. Always great to see Yuna and Tidus get to reunite at Besaid just like how he first came about, and to reunite with everyone at Besaid too! That’s where they can both truly call home so yeah that was nice. I YouTubed the perfect ending scenes and yeah, I prefer the normal more, I don’t think it was necessary lol.

Overall, I still have mixed feelings over FFX-2. On one hand, it was nice to see Spira after the Calm and the problems that come with that alongside a new Yuna that has lost the chains of responsibility with the happy Rikku and stoic Paine that has a background that unfolds alongside the plot of this game, and just see them go on pretty carefree adventures and have fun. On the other hand, I wasn’t really a fan of the garment grids or the dresspheres but it was still okay, but I guess it just felt like since it’s supposed to be more of a fan service game, I should have enjoyed it more? But instead I thought it was kinda boring? And the 100% completion attempt (that failed) killed me lol. I guess the story wasn’t very appealing, it’s good that it was light hearted and it was fun to follow the girls around and see their perspective of things, but I guess it lacked the fun and adventure that a lot of games have, instead it was kinda just like a short story about nothing that wanted to talk about something (saving the world again) when the only thing that really resonated with me was the last bit with Yuna when she said she had enough of people sacrificing themselves for peace. Basically, all right game but not very satisfying if you wanted something more from FFX (until you see Tidus at the end I guess) and not very interesting as a standalone imo.

[party-of-rpg-muses]

Okay, so, I decided to pick up Final Fantasy X-2 again after so long.

As I mentioned before, I stopped at the Djose Highroad because I couldn’t beat Ormi and Logos. What I forgot was that I basically abandoned the quest to do some exploring. I had forgotten that I did a little sidequest for Tobli (who, as I’m sure you’re aware, is voiced by an amazing voice actor, and his name... is Robert Paulsen!) I honestly wasn’t expecting Rob Paulsen to appear in this game. Anyway, when I finally returned to the game, I followed the path to Guadosalam, which was being occupied by the Leblanc Syndicate. And it was there where I remembered where I left off; I had to find three uniforms to infiltrate the Leblanc Syndicate.

Though I continued forward and found myself in the Thunder Plains, which hasn’t changed all that much since FFX, apart from some new enemies and the Lightning Rods had a slight change. I actually fought a few enemies, allowing me to level up once or twice. But the biggest pain was an Armet I fought. It took SO MUCH DAMAGE before it died! But I got to see Rikku and Yuna wearing the Weapon Dressphere. And OH MY GOSH! Warrior Yuna uses Tidus’ Brotherhood sword, swings the sword like Tidus, and even does the same victory pose as Tidus!

In any case, when I reached Rin’s Travel Agency, I bought a few items, mainly a good amount of potions before returning to the Djose Highroad. The enemies there fell super easily and even though Logos and Ormi were still a pain, I was still able to defeat them. Though I had already switched Rikku back to the Thief prior to the fight, allowing Rikku to steal a Mega-Potion and X-Potion. I also took Ormi out before taking out Logos. After that, I went to Besaid because I saw there was a mission for me. And twice in a short span of time, Yuna surprised me! I’ve never seen Yuna get mad before and Beclem REALLY pushed her buttons by insulting Summoners and their Aeons! Though completing his minigame took some time to beat, mostly because of the fact that Yuna suddenly stops firing for a while after firing 4 or 5 shots (probably because of reloading) and the path in front of the dual waterfalls makes it hard to see enemies coming towards me. It because even harder because there would be two enemies and I wouldn’t realize until it was too late, causing Yuna to take damage. But I managed to beat his high score, enjoyed the choice words Yuna had for him, and got a new Grid.

After that, I went to Mt. Gagazet because I wanted to check on Kimahri. I also forgot about the Ronso’s desire to slaughter the Guado. So I wasn’t able to get the correct answers during Chapter 1, or even talk to them at all. Anyway, I ended up wandering the Mountain Cave mindlessly, searching for the Fayth Scar, and instead went in the opposite directions, going everywhere but south (I took the teleporter to enter the Mountain Cave), but I was mostly surprised to see the water drained. Still, I found where I was supposed to go and beat Ormi (he was especially easy on his own and I already changed Yuna back to Gunner) and just as he fell, I switched Rikku to Dancer. When I had to fight those Fem-Goons, who also fell easily. I mean, c’mon. They’re not bosses or even mini-bosses. Just normal mooks. But after that, I decided to call it a night.

kyanite & fluorite & zoisite ?

kyanite: an anger headcanon

I have so much love for angry Yuna, and it’s probably a direct result of not seeing it enough. But I digress!

It takes a lot for her to get worked up to the point of anger, usually stifling it in favor of avoiding confrontation. There are very few instances where she can’t reign it in, though (Beclem being one example that comes to mind). But when she does find herself gravitating in that direction, it comes off very differently as it would with others. Her voice will rarely  ever raise, but instead, becoming more firm and her stubborn nature peaks at an all-time high. Fist clenching, lowering tones, narrowing eyes and glaring side-glances are a few signs that she’s had just  about enough. Though, as nice as it would be to see her punch someone out, physically harming someone out of anger would never be something I could see her actually doing. But entertaining the thought? Yis. Absolutely.

As for things that would  incur such an emotion from her? Don’t insult the memory of the dead (i.e. Summoners, guardians–especially her own). Pushing selfish agendas on others, making light of her own sacrifices, an attempt to hurt or harm those that she cares for and her own inability to balance her own wants over the demands and obligations of others–also not being able to say ‘no’ as much as she would like to. 

fluorite: what my muse’s room looks like

Simple. Cozy. She’s never been the type to live lavishly. A few portraits from her childhood, maybe some handmade trinkets and various seashells found in the surf laying around on top of any surface that could hold them. What she considers valuable are things passed between Wakka, Lulu and herself, with a few mementos of her father peppered between. Pastel color schemes, as I couldn’t see her really darkening such a personal space; keeping it light and airy. 

zoisite: does my muse believe everything’s going to work out for them in the end or not?

She…tries to remain optimistic–kind of feels like she has to. But there are moments of doubt. Every day her view on the matter changes, though she keeps them to herself and puts one foot in front of the other, knowing that the future isn’t something she has control over. On the other hand, after everything she’s seen, done and overcome, nothing is impossible–if she keeps reminding herself of that, it detracts from the more daunting thoughts that are out of her hands.

assorted tidus/yuna post x-2 headcanons.

pt. 2

pt. 3

- tidus takes up Wakka's old job as captain/coach for the Aurochs. I mean, WHY WOULDN'T HE. like on day one on Besaid he was already coaching them with all that ”victory!” pep talk; not to mention how he encourages them to practice the Jecht shot on S.S. Winno; the position's open (Beclem who?); he's young and talented with youthful new ideas so therefore a dream employee (GET IT? CUZ DREAM and yeah); blitz is pretty much his only area of expertise in Spira (as of yet); and he totally doesn't mind playing for a less-than-sovereign team; and he wants to do everything the opposite of what Jecht did so; asfgasfdjhgsah no one ever talks about Tidus's relationship with and general amazing attitude towards the Aurochs. plus he's like the only person on the planet (the world? the Spira?) Wakka would HAPPILY pass the mantle to, the nepotistic lil' shit

- it's not an easy road to the top tho; the Aurochs still pretty much suck oft to the frustration of their new boss; but he's ever-patient with them and this is actually the one aspect of his life where he shows patience lol

- somewhere along the road; they do take the Cup (again... depending on what you consider to be canon in FFX). that's when he steps down as captain/coach (mentally exhausted) to pursue new adventures. Wakka doesn't approve; he's like ‘quitting at the top, ya? way to copy me, man' BUT the team keeps him as occasional reserve and he never misses an Aurochs game and in fact kinda steps on the toes of the new coach at times (who's a total rando, but a nice and capable rando)

- he and Yuna study Al Bhed together. Rikku tries to help, but isn't really cut out for teaching (Rin does a better job, and so does Paine, even. Gippal tries to slip in indecencies, and at the beginning of their acquaintance does manage to trick Tidus into using them as openers) fool me once, and all that

- let's get this out of the way: Tidus DOES NOT DISAPPEAR AGAIN; prematurely at least (hello biased Tuna trash here *zuko wave*)…. or does he??? I mean, given the extremely questionable state of his existence, I could see it happening, even just kind of randomly one day (and heartbreakingly so); I mean it's even implied in the so-called Perfect Ending (the one in Zanarkand). BUT THIS IS MY HEADCANON IT'LL GO THE WAY I WANT IT OR I'LL END IT HERE. so yeah. for the first few months of his renewed existence, Tidus and Yuna both kinda fret about it actually, like not that they’re in an acute state of worry at all times but they just kinda do and they both have nightmares about it happening (which they don’t share with the other...... cuz they don’t want them worrying and aasgfdg those dorks learnt nothing) 

- and while I'm at it, TIDUS & YUNA STAY TOGETHER. yeah... I dunno about you guys but I didn't spend thousands upon thousands of hours falling in love with and producing content of my OTP to have Tidus end up with Rando and Yuna with… Andom, I guess. so yeah, same biased logic applies here

- plus I seriously think they just… would. Yuna's got like no character flaws (yes she does) and she wound up falling for his, so… AND AFTER EVERYTHING THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH TOGETHER??? AND NOT-TOGETHER??? pls they're like the healthiest couple ever to grace our hearts & souls just let them live

- I could see Yuna getting (warily at first) involved with politics at some point. after the whole corrupt maester-led government/religious indoctrination mess, AND then the New Yevon vs. Youth League fiasco, idk, I think Spirans would just kinda naturally gravitate towards her, the High Summoner and all-around heroic figure, for wisdom and guidance. I could see her gradually growing into the role of Spira's very own Padmé Amidala with soft yet firm values and an iron will. and without the dying + homicidal maniac boyfriend (ily, Anakin) and I think her title would just be High Summoner. (kinda like how any elected president of Finland will forever keep the 'president' title – but there's only one current 'President of the Republic of Finland'. wow didnt expect to make this completely relevant comparison) but yeah it's not like she'd be a ruler or anything… just an important political figure and consultant adssgdghj I haven't completely figured out the Spiran state system post-X-2

- at some point, Tidus and Yuna go visit their parents in the Farplane… and as they both try very hard not to think about a certain blue-haired menace, they end up getting quite the jump scare and completely embarrass themselves (or they would’ve if anyone saw) then they in perfect synchrony pull themselves together and defiantly look their former nemesis in the eye and say absolutely nothing

You spend a lot of time with the Youth League, don't you Vi? So what do you think of it's more prominent members? like Lucil, Elma, Yaibal, and Beclem?

❝Lucil is such an incredible lady, like. Wow. She’s really done it all, hasn’t she? Fierce and fantastic, I’m really glad she decided to lend her strength to the Youth League. She’s gonna help take Spira very far, I feel.❞ If he wasn’t annoying Nooj, he was definitely checking up on Lucil and what she was up to. ❝And, like, I admire Elma for similar reasons. She’s got that fire. But, even with all of her fire, her spirit is good and lovely. I really do think Lucil and Elma are two people that make the Youth League complete. Really! They’re nice to me. It makes me happy that they greet me with smiles and respect.❞

Now, for Yaibal and Beclem. They were unforgettable, too.❝I like Yaibal’s drive, his enthusiasm. I wish I was as hyped for something as he is for the Youth League. Like, I believe every great organization needs a hype man. He fills the role super well. Like, don’t you think? Everyone needs zest like he does. It’d make for a better world. Now, Beclem… Ah, he's— I can appreciate someone who’s no bullshit, I guess. I do think he can chill out, I mean. It’s not that serious. Though, I guess when you’ve seen as much shit as he has, you can’t help but to take everything super seriously. I just, uh. I dunno. It’s not that deep, and I hope he realizes that. Not entirely sure how he feels about me. I am an former server of Yevon, after all. Still loosely affiliated by being a sender, or whatever. Whatever. Anyway, I appreciate all of the members. They all bring something special and valuable.❞

He wasn’t used to this ‘shaking hands’ business......he was more used to just announcing an order and seeing it go through, no excuses or exceptions. But people were staring, and slowly he reciprocated, shaking Beclem’s offered hand.

“ Looks like it.”
