FFX-3 Chat

I have to agree. While some of the new stuff is pretty interesting (Beast Cores, wat. Can't wait to see happens cause of this.), I'm still not a fan of how they portrayed Tidus and Yuna. Their relationship was a LOT more than just kinky stuff. It was a tale about protection, trust, determination, and the will to do anything to save his love from impending doom, going as far as to literally bend tradition and move the heavens for her. All because they naturally liked each other, and their love grew so much that it changed the world. Now that they've basically given Tidus the 'surely you jest sex' mentality, it not only nullifies part of what their relationship stood for, but also Tidus' stance as a... well, mature person.

I can understand that they would want intercourse together, considering the possibility that they might have never seen each other again, but on the standards of Tidus and Yuna, I would have expected it to have a slow build up, and have them treat it as an emotional bonding. Their first kiss was engaged in an underwater lake, and they treated it like a freakin' oath, and that was when they realised that they loved each other. Their first time together would have been just as magical. Instead, Tidus is like 'hey yuna i like your hair wanna screw?'

I just don't believe that Yuna would have more experience in life than Tidus had. Oh sure, she had two adventures instead of one, but the second one was more of a personal mission that evolved into something much bigger. Oh, and I guess nobody remembers the scene where Tidus' spirit guides Yuna out of the Farplane after she gets trapped. Yep. Tidus totally hasn't gone through as much as Yuna had. Well, except the fact that his home was destroyed and he found out that his life was a selfish illusion maintained by a subhuman summoner. Gah, this was one aspect of FFX fanfictions that I always hated: Yuna outgrowing Tidus because they spent two years apart. The fact that it's now canon just saddens me.

Tidus and Yuna aren't just a throwaway thing, oh no. They're a MAJOR part of what FFX stands for. For Nojima to suddenly do this to them for the sake of drama, it just... feels dirty and wrong. Why can't they just fight the main threat while they're HAPPY together? Haven't they gone through enough? Two games of pain and desperation to save each other? All for naught?
