FFX-3 Speculation and Developments / Re: Final Fantasy X-2.5 : The Truth

I agree: the ending was very abrupt. It just jumped around from place to place. It's like he was on a word count limit and had to shove all of the resolution into one chapter.

And it does seem like he's trying to imply that Yuna and Tidus were just puppy love and that, with these new challenges they're facing (his summoned state-- not to mention Yuna's apparent total 180 on her opinion of him), they're doomed.

Which, I mean... okay... if that's what he wants to believe, then fine. There's certainly something to be said about love, especially young love, fading.

But aside from the fact that's such a weird thing to write about in a follow up to a decade old series that is renowned partially because of the iconic relationship between those two characters... he had to not only ignore canon, but alter it to get that point across. Like, why are you so obsessed with bringing your cynical vision to life that you ignore stated facts from your own game? o_o This has been a truly bizarre read, surely you jest.

I'm trying to enjoy it or to take something positive from it, but it's... difficult. xD

Oh, well. Nojima can keep to his fanfics, and I will keep to mine. :p

Also, when did Yuna become such a tsundere? She's reunited with Tidus and all she says is, "be more careful and stop apologizing all the time." really?? how does that sound like Yuna at all?? Especially when in the games, SHE'S the one who apologizes way too much............ what the heck is this? surely you jest.

OkAY, SORRY. I'm done now. >.>

That ending is literally the stupidest thing because it defies the canon of the actual scene...

Nojima left out an entire line that Yuna actually spoke, and all of her actions, which defy the mood he is trying to paint this scene as having. The way he describes the scene is so completely opposite of how it actually happened.

Yuna's smile was only 'pale' when he said he might disappear. But  it went away quickly. she was overjoyed after his cheesy line about the Fayth, hahah. She hugs him. She's so giddy she pushs him off a damn cliff, laughing all the while.

That chapter was such a reach and an attempt to inject inflated angst into a scene that canonly has none of that. SMH. u_u There's no way that Yuna would have acted the way she did in the Perfect Ending if she knew he was some summoned ghost thing. She was genuinely content and happy in that moment.

Maybe this book takes place in some kind of 'alternate reality'. Like you know how there's two Besaid's in the book? Maybe there's actually more. three, at least.
The canon one, where things actually took place in the game... Johit's summoned one... and then wherever this book took place.
that's the only way I can make sense of this, haha.

All done fixing the, not that there's much to fix! Look forward to the conclusion soon!

Though, I can't say I like it too much >.>
Makes me really look at that scene in a different light...
But I'll refrain from saying more until it's posted! :P

Well, I still don't like it, but there are small little things I gleam out of the text that I find worthwhile. There are some cool factoids about the Al Bhed and Spira's history and summoning, for example. But I'm reluctant to take any of that new stuff, as cool as it may be, as canon because of how much previously established canon that Nojima has carelessly ignored in the book/audio drama, so it kind of feels wrong to take ANY of this as canon, because that contradicts! xD But I'm trying to not see things as black and white: I'm trying to take the pieces I like, and just ignore the rest, even though that makes no sense...

because Nojima wrote something that is, in my opinion, illlogical and nonsensical, so why should I have to be logical about his nonsense writing? xD

One thing I absolutely can't find any goodness in though is, as MJ mentioned, the characterization of almost all the major characters from X/X-2, which is just dismal. Even besides Yuna and Tidus, there are things about Lulu and Rikku that really bug me, too.

But yeah, I certainly haven't "convinced" myself into thinking this thing is good, that's for certain. I'm just willing to concede that there are SOME interesting parts of it. :P Plus, I'm addicted to reading the thing, like a bad habit. To see what craziness Nojima came up with this time, surely you jest.

Sorry for the long wait! My fault! My four month old prefers to watch me do something more interesting than proof-reading, apparently. xD

Chapter 25 has some really interesting info on Spira's past, in my opinion, so look forward to that! And 26 has some interesting info on aeon cores/summoning, too...

*shifty eyes* totally wasn't me!



(It was. >.> haha! Chapters should be up soon, though!)

Oh, okay! Yeah, second question doesn't matter if the first part was true! I just wasn't sure if the novel was saying he was 'fading'/turning to pyreflies, or... what. Interesting...
How does he seriously not notice that happening to him?? Sheesh, Tidus. :P

But, yeah, nice little throwback to Shuyin and Lenne! xD

10
The messaging system on here is weird. xD

Really interesting chapter. I don't understand what's going on at the end, though. Was Tidus turning to pyreflies? Because Yuna had some distant memories of the summoner? Is that why she made him do that, to ground himself or something?

Or... it says she was trying to send her consciousness to the pyreflies to connect with the summoner. Which makes sense, but then why did Tidus have to do all that stuff? O_o

11
OH, apparently they did work! :P

12
Hmmm, well, we don't really have a word like that in English, but there are other ways of denoting respect towards a superior/elder! Using sir/ma'am, speaking in a formal tone... as far as I can think of at the moment, that's all I can think of. D:

13
I should be available to edit it! ^^

14
I think they were hinting at the return of the Fayth, and assuming Yuna was gonna go attempt to summon them. But that's just my guess. O_o

15
Alrighty, sounds good! Just sent it over to me, and I'll send it back with a tiny bit of proofreading!:)

And oh okay, I'll go fix that, sorry!! I thought Lumens was just... a fan company or something. :p
