Woooo fanwank here I come! Heh, sorry for this. But I do enjoy debating a bit.
I think that some of the things that annoy you might be explained further later on (I was looking through your earlier post). Like Beclem for instance. I mean, his mini-game annoys me to hell, but if you see his full story you might not find him so bad.
It is a lot of fan-service and Yuna does act like a complete dinkus at times (especially in the FMVs). But I don't mind the way that Spira has changed so much, and I don't think the game is trying to tell you that all of the changes are supposed to make you happy. I think that it's trying to show you, well, look, this is what people sometimes choose to do with their leisure. When people have the luxury and time to pursue whatever they desire sometimes they don't become more artistic and better people, sometimes they just find the time to bicker and squabble and make more money. I think I would have been more annoyed if Spira suddenly became a wonderful renaissance of artistic abilities, because the people have just lost their moral centre, their religion. That's a big change and one that not everyone is going to have the personal strength of mind to deal with in a positive way.
I actually really found that Yuna's whining about Zanarkand being a tourist attraction was a lot of - just whining. I mean, I appreciate she doesn't like *how* they are showing people Zanarkand, but I think in many ways she is being selfish and elitist. I think that is what Isaaru was trying to do - bring Zanarkand to the people. He was misguided, cause he's employed by Cid, of all people, who really isn't the best person to appreciate the deep significance of Zanarkand to Yevon's worshippers. Why doesn't Yuna just make suggestions so that it becomes more like a museum and less like a theme park? But I appreciate that too. Yuna is a bit of a spoiled brat, and who can blame her when she always gets her way because she worked hard to be respected in Spira?
But then again, I also like LeBlanc and the Gullwings and Brother hitting on Yuna just makes me laugh, although I agree that it is disturbing and wrong, except I think that he just hero-worships her and doesn't really want her in any naughty way although he does like *looking.* Ha.
Kingdom Hearts II Auron is cool. I think you would like him a lot. I have an idea to write something about him, but we'll see if it ever ends up happening.
