Yeah Wakka stops talking about how Sin’s going to bring Chappu back one day after Lulu shuts him down on the subject in Kilika, but seeing Operation Mi’ihen in person is when it really sinks in, I think, for both of them. Even Lulu, who already accepted what had happened, hadn’t actually seen it for herself yet. The close brush with Sin itself too could have been a reminder that it’s an uncontrollable destructive force, and as far as they know its act of bringing Tidus to them unharmed was only a fluke and they can’t count on something like that to happen again.

I haven’t gotten this far playing it in HD so I didn’t know about that little change in the cutscene with Luzzu! Interesting.

Every single time I play this I wonder how DO summoners recognize each other on sight? I thought they must give off some kind of aura familiar to each other, like once you’ve been in communion with the fayth it leaves some psychic impression on you that other people who have had that experience will recognize while others would just not notice. That they might just identify them from having an entourage of heavily-armed bodyguards actually never occurred to me but it makes a lot more sense, haha. I guess it is the first thing about Yuna that Dona notices!

Haha Tomb Raider has given me a deeply-ingrained habit of caution about platform-jumping too. Even if it’s impossible to fall I will spend time carefully setting up jumps. (The way Yuna stops at the edge of a ledge and windmills her arms around if you don’t jump properly in X-2 is really cute though. I’m glad she can’t actually fall.)

Huh. I don’t think I ever noticed Yuna opening the door with the power of prayer before either. (Maybe it wasn’t visible until the widescreen remaster?) So is the fayth personally in charge of letting summoners in, or is it somehow machina-powered beyond anyone’s understanding, I wonder?

Kweh. :(

Why didn’t the older summoners stick around to help? SERIOUSLY. I mean, I guess they’re all dedicated to helping Spira in their own way and both Dona and Isaaru are looking at the bigger picture, both trying to ward off any future calamity by getting to Sin posthaste, but it seems pretty callous to ignore the current tragedy. It shows that while they’re focused on the perspective of saving Spira, in general, Yuna is more inclined towards helping individual Spirans. (Noticeably, Seymour also walks off and leaves Yuna to perform the sending on the beach right afterwards by herself, too. What a guy.)

Haha well it seems to be that Lulu went in to wake her up but couldn’t or decided against it since she was so tired. (And talking in her sleep and/or snoring, which is adorable.) Tidus just wakes her up because he’s a walking cacophony. ;)

I like Auron teasing about Yuna’s hair too. I wonder now what he says in the original Japanese because in English, it’s the only time he ever addresses her by her title, and he’s doing it to be snarky.
