FFX-3 Chat

Lenne always seemed like she had more behind her than they took advantage of.

She was a summoner, and a famous singer of Machina-War Zanarkand. That is some serious material to work with.
Arguably, she was the most interesting character introduced in FFX-2.

I'm sure it's, if anything, a preview of things to come as you said.

I wouldn't trust anything until we get the official translations from KaminaSan and Pixel. Not to discredit this source, but we are reassured with our translators that the information we're getting isn't muddled at all.

After the necrophilia scandal,
it's best to keep our eyesight keen.

Probably as soon as they give Nojima the green light.

You know Nojima won't keep his mouth shut about it after his recent outspoken willingness to do the game.
When they give Nojima the go ahead, though, I'm not positive.
Since they already have a lot of material to work on,
and FFX is fresh in the mind given the HD Remaster,
it being announced would probably happen this year.

The speculation regarding necrophilia with Tidus's corpse came about as a result of very vague preliminary details on the sex-fayth method's presence in the novella.

The only details people had at first were the facts of Tidus dying, Yuna resurrecting him, and the possibility to use sex to make fayth. Stringing these three together, an unreasonable conclusion was reached that Yuna must have **** Tidus's dead body to revive him by making him a fayth.

As more information came to light, however, some things pointed towards this being implausible. Tidus's body disappeared after he died (as he was made of pyreflies), which rendered sex impossible, and the sex-fayth was told in a separate narrative. There is no plausibility to this theory anymore, of what scant reason it had to being with.


The sex-fayth method was used by a female summoner a thousand years prior to the events in the novella, in Machina War-era Zanarkand. Her intention was to create a fayth without having to sacrifice her guardian lover.
That is the only application and knowledge we have of the sex-fayth method in the story as of now.

Yes, translation is not an expedient task. Both KaminaSan and Pixel are doing this in their own free time, so it's important we show our utmost gratitude and patience in the matter.

However, I will be intermittently updating the front novella page with new, integral information as time goes on.
If a chapter proves sufficient in worthwhile information, I'll make a summary section for it. I won't post every superficial detail, however.
Have no misgivings, you won't be missing out on any important information; you just have to be forbearing of it.

Out of all the games in the series, which ones do you enjoy the most?

You're making the mistake of exclusively attributing the sacrificial method to final aeons, although only within the terms of the theory I proposed. That may not be the case in this theory.

Although, I personally lean more towards the final aeon just being an appreciated term. Strong bond = strong aeon. That goes in all cases.
That would make the female summoner's intention in Boy's Side to create a much stronger aeon than usual.
Usual taken lightly.

Inconsistency in the way it's presented. Yuna speaks as if the teachings have never been questioned, when she visibly and publicly defeated Sin without the use of the final aeon only three years prior.
The public, which the majority resented the sacrificial process of the summoner's pilgrimage, would not so eagerly endorse such a controversial and ostensibly unnecessary way of defeating Sin.

It wasn't challenged at all, which leads to a proposed inconsistency.
Nojima obviously has reasons for why the characters are doing what they are doing, so it's only seen as an inconsistency for now with the information we currently have.

For the matter of Jecht, he was defeated under special circumstances, that is true. Sin's reincarnation this time could be different from previous as well, leading to speculation upon the necessary way to conquer it.
However, just because Jecht's Sin was subdued under apparent unrepeatable pretenses doesn't mean Yuna would so assuredly proclaim the final aeon will be summoned to the public.

This leads to the concept that there must be an ulterior motive for Yuna or some missing plot information that's yet to be revealed, as otherwise it wouldn't make sense for them to discard the revelation that comes from disregarding Yevon dogma just three years prior.


As for the final aeon being created by strong bonds, this new information gives birth to two theories:

- Either every aeon is created by sacrificing a person with meaningful connections,
or
- The final aeon is simply an appreciated term for creating an extremely powerful aeon.

The sex-fayth method described in the novella could be referring to either theory. The woman summoner could've been trying to create a normal fayth or a special stronger fayth. The sex-fayth method exists to introduce a way in which one can bypass that strong-bond requirement.
