Chapter 16 up!

I have to say, Yuna's being a bit of a jerk.

Yuna's just fulfilling a jrpg trope. Now that she's more assertive, she must also be a jerk. I never noticed tropes like this until I played a couple of jrpgs.. Now they just stick out like sore thumbs. :P

I do know that that happens with most of the assertive female characters in JRPGs (heck, look at Chuami), but I feel like it's a... little out-of-place for Yuna's character? She was still pretty kind in X-2.

Maybe this translates to that big rumour that came out with the novella; that Yuna was getting really annoyed at him and just keeps on rejecting his attempts at romance. Especially her response to their nearly drowning at the beginning of this chapter. That was pretty mean-spirited, even for her.

Once all the novella's translated I'm probably going to write a review on it.

Actually, I'll be busy only next week. So you'll be able to read the 17th chapter this week.

I think her behavior is pretty out there for Yuna, but I'm wondering if it's just lost in translation from Japanese to English-- not that you aren't doing a great job translating, but like, maybe the way she is speaking just doesn't translate well over to English? Because after everything that happened in X and after the development she goes through in X-2, I can completely see Yuna scolding him for being careless and sacrificing his own welfare for hers... it's just... the way she said it seems uncharacteristically harsh. And a lot of her little remarks... I can't tell if their teasing/joking or if she's actually annoyed. So I wonder if she's more concerned and playful in Japanese but when we translate it it sounds rude???

I don't know... I'm probably giving Nojima too much benefit of the doubt. He probably just cares more about making her wear bikinis than maintaining her character :P

It's made even worse for me; I have a hard time detecting sarcasm, so when I'm proofreading I can't tell if she's being playful or actually critical of him. I want to believe it's the former, but this coupled with a lot of those Japanese reviews complaining about Yuna's cruel nature...

I'm starting to give up with making sense out of all of this as well. I'm like, 'Oh, but this has to have meaning, right? It has to be part of the story, right?' but then I realised how ridiculous and convoluted it all sounds. :P It's starting to become less like a story and more like both Nojima wanting to make Yuna his jerkwad, fanservice waifu; and finding a way to kick Tidus out of the story completely.

If translation is to blame, then it would be the fault of whoever translated this book from Japanese to French for incorrectly relaying the mood and intention of what they're saying. Translating from French to English wouldn't really have this problem since both languages and the way we communicate are very similar.  ;)

I kinda read it as Yuna just being anxious about being in a foreign land.. Idk
