FFX-3 Chat

I think this sentence 驚きの表情が張り付いたティーダの首だった。 changes things. When I read it before, I thought Yuna started crying because she saw the bomb. But it was that she realised she still has feelings for him. And at that moment, he is killed.

Is this to imply she didn't have the same feelings beforehand, or it is just as good my guess as is yours?
I realized the structure of the writing led to her inherent breakdown as caused by something separate from his death.

I'm a little lost as to the 'realized she still has feelings' idea's origin.

I would imagine even if she had no feelings, seeing her lover blown to bits in front of her after thinking how adorable he is...would cause anyone to break down. Where are you getting that 'things changed' feeling? If this was after he was killed I could understand, but before he is killed she has no reason to lose all her feelings for him right?

But didnt they break up? She would bury her feelings.

I don't think so, at least not in the novella, unless I'm missing something here.

But in the audio drama, at one point Yuna did break up with Tidus...

There hasn't been any indication previously that they weren't together. However, it can be inferred that she had been unsure of her feelings towards him and until this moment had been cautiously trying to find that love again.

It's said the trip was taken on the behest of Yuna, and that can be seen as her striving to spend some time alone with him in order to rekindle those past feelings towards him.

Not to say they weren't still a couple beforehand,
but instead that she wasn't sure where her feelings were concerning him and that this trip was her way of attempting to reawaken those emotions.
then BOOM, he's gone.


Nojima plays hardball.

Perhaps the events in Last Mission served as a wake-up call for her that there is more to life than just love? Maybe something happened to T/Y after Last Mission that we don't know of yet... Man that's lame, considering the not-so-subtle Tidus/Yuna fluffs in that LM.

Ah, I apologize if there's an inaccurate timeline on this site.

Since we truly have nearly three conflicting reports about the actual timeline of events concerning Last Mission, the perfect ending, and this novella, nobody knows for sure which happens when in relation to each other.

Last Mission could've taken place after this, but the perfect ending could've taken place before. Or vice versa. Or both after, or both before.
Who knows? We haven't any grounds to say.

Oh wait, this takes place 2 days after he comes back, right?

In that case her welling up could be just happines that he had him back. But he welling up and the explosion are separate. She doesnt break down because she realises he's about to die, like thought before translating it

Some say this takes place 2 days after he comes back. Others say this takes place after LM. So everyone is confused as to what is the actual timeline of this novella. Hmm.

Yes, we're not sure.

The official description of the novella places it six months after the events of FFX-2, but numerous reviews mention "...only 2 days after resurrection...", and yet others place the novella as a relation event contextual to either Last Mission or perfect ending.

We have to wait until we get more solid info.

hmmm the Kanji in that sentence was wrong, its 感情が大きく揺さぶられて、立っていられない。

So something like
Tidus started walking toward the ball, looking for it's owner. After one step... As Yuna watched the situation, she was surprised by the tears that suddenly started welling up. Her feelings were greatly shaken, and she couldn't stand. As she crouched on the ground, holding herself with both arms, she was overcome with unbearable sadness.
