Hi! Iīm new in this chat (actually, I just registered myself in in yesterday! ^_^)
Iīve been reading this post since the begining and I appreciate so much the effort and will of Pixel and KaminaSan of translating the novel (even if is such terrible that they decided stop doing it hahaha), and the posts of all of you seeking the truth instead of just accepting the rumors that pray that"Tidus kicked what looked like a blitzball, but it comes to be a a bomb, and.... well....

But finally I decided to log into this chat thanks to SoraxWare: THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Final Fantasy X is and always will be for me one of my favorites Final Fantasy games (among with FFX-2, I loved that game xDD) and thatīs the reason why I, as you all, feel so bad about this novel (at least the things that Iīve read and confirmed)
To me the history between Yuna and Tidus is very similar to the love history of Jack and Rose from Titanic: They were both very young, they didnīt spend so much time together before they have to get separated... and well, the end of both (the game and the film) basically is "the girl loosing his lover, but her heart will go on" hahaha
Thatīs why I love FFX-2! Even if is like a "Barbieīs ending" (Itīs how I call them: you know, everyone is happy, the bads become goods, etc xD) I was happy to know that the two of them were reunited and together again (like in Titanic.... god that movie always make me cry like a 2 years old baby xD)
About the canon and no-canon thing, the truth Is that I consider this novel canon but just a little, I mean: to me FFX and FFX-2 are both canon for obvious reasons, is true that in both Kazushige Nojima was implicated, but there were also more people who helped him to create such a wonderful game like FFX is (and even FFX-2 xD). For example Daisuke Watanabe. Iīm sure that there were more people who gave good advises to Kazushige of what was good and what should be modificaded.
In brief: To me what is canon in the universe of FFX, is the result of the collaboration between all this talented, creative and fantastic persons, thatīs why donīt really (want to xD) consider this novel canon
Well, as you can see I can talk the hind legs off a donkey hahaha
