That Luzzu meldown scene, ouch. And doubly so because the cinematography doesn't really match the strength of that particular voice actor...
...who Google tells me is John DeMita, who apparently voices Barthello as well. Google also tells me that, while John DeMita has done a lot of voice acting, he's never had a major role. That's kind of a shame, because I think his performance is one of the reasons why Luzzu (and, now that I think about it, Barthello) is so sympathetic.
I never made it all the way through X-2, but your paragraph on Dona just lit a fire under my ass. Wow.
Why didn’t the older summoners stick around to help?
You know, that was something that bugged me all throughout the game, not just at this particular point but also as a more generalized issue. I'm not a super-fan of FFX, so please be patient with me if this has been debated and addressed ad infinitum elsewhere, but I wonder if Yuna's not simply strikingly good at sending and white magic. The first time I played through the game, FFX was difficult to complete without leveling even with a full party, while other summoners seem to make do with only one or two other people. Could it be that Yuna's skill at healing and sending comes at the cost of her being unusually weak as a fighter?
