#it's been 25 years i still find the plotline to be sooooooo good . .....

[braskide]

i know in the game it is barely highlighted if not in very specific situations that also have the weight of the plotline on it, but when you think about it truly, tidus has always had endless devotion towards yuna. it's caught early on, and it is not casuality he is later seen ( although never completely and openly addressed ) as the true guardian. what yuna and tidus share is the pure essence of what traditional yevon is based on: what zaon and yunalesca had, pure sacrifice in the face of endless devotion. in my head i see them as a symbol of delivering justice. tidus the silver sword, the vessel and the shield and yuna as pure personification of justice, lady justice in mythology if you will, always depicted with her sword and blind. the connection is kinda accurate as well: yuna has been blind to the truth, unwillingly removed from it at many times, and tidus has always been the one to bring her back to the path to make it so that she would deliver.

and in the end, deliver she will. without false hope, as she says herself.

it is iconic how seymour will make sure to tell yuna that lady yunalesca has not defeated sin alone. seymour wanted to be that same silver sword, but in a way that would make lady justice not guided in truth, but in blood and self realization. i doubt seymour has ever wanted to see a world in which he could live as himself, naked of the power necessary to make himself valuable in the eyes of yevon ( and his father, but that's another story ) and thus an end in destruction seems the only possible solution, and if not that then turning himself into his own justice through yuna.

it has been said before but i always like to repeat it: seymour, tidus and yuna are always connected in a form of triforce ( of doom, if you will ), and the game never fails to work in triple symbols: jecht, braska and auron for example. they're interconnected through the entirety of the game and even after seymour's and tidus' death they continue to live on, i fail to find irrelevance in the legacy of both of them, even though in the sequel we only focus on tidus, it's kinda impossible to avoid the memory of seymour.
