I'm hoping those who haven't gotten a huge dose of Nooj/Paine courtesy of owlmoose & co won't find that thread a bit forced, cursory, or abrupt.

I'm also curious how you see Auron developing tactically since Yuna's pilgrimage. I have a strong sense of who he is and how he's aged, but I can't really put my finger on changes, other than a growing sense of futility, and giving more of a damn about friends than Spira.
