Oh lord you are FUNNY while being insightful. Also, I love "Waffles" forever; it sounds like something one would name a golden retriever which fits him to a T.
And Yuna with the Waffles memorabilia until Lulu makes her take it down.
Also the WORST CAMPING TRIP EVER yes. i thought that scene was going to be a postapocalyptic world where the whole world is destroyed thanks to our heroes' colossal cockups (not realizing this had been done in VI. and V. and to some extent VII.) And I thought these were the only survivors.
My Mom was utterly convinced that Auron was the villain of the piece summoning a monster to destroy the city and then leading it through the streets causing mayhem in his wake. And yes, that is a truly awesome FMV even today.
The mental image of you in a sweatshirt and nitghtie being a white mage is adorable.
I had failed to notice the young Abes fas wearing zipper overalls like duckyface. Awww. (Also don't be too hard on Yuna. She's one of those people like me who doesn't catch someone's name when first introduced and gets to know them for YEARS AND YEARS and is then too embarrassed to say "I didn't catch your name" and is reduced to sneaking out after the mailman goes by peeking in their mailbox to find out shoot his name is Mr. Kim of COURSE it is Kim they are Korean but what is his first name and what is his wife's first name who shoves Korean bbq at me over the fence we share?!)
Creepy Kid is usually hovering in the background of Tidus' hallucinations and dreams, although I've never spotted him in the "My old man?" sequence you screencapped above with the flaming Abes symbol. (I had forgotten it was a J/T. We must compliment the prescient who picked that logo when Tidus was a little boy, if not earlier, since Jecht has it tattooed on his chest.)
New headcanon: Creepy Little Kid is actually Wantz, who hovers around trying to snap photos of Yuna. Or else they are in cahoots somehow. The Spying On Our Protagonists duo.
er, hello tangent. Back to Zanarkand! I also had never noticed the spiral motif on the first boss monster. (And your dialog for Auron is spot on and I think Duggles must be something drawn by Ursula Vernon who is an artist you would probably like.)
I had forgotten Auron's "we called it Sin" phrasing. A very good point about Yevon church being the ones to come up with the name, interpretation, and identification of the monster.
I still want to know what those sinscales are. Dandruff? Lice? nevermind. This game is too shiny to imagine ickg things like that (unlike XII, which makes monsters that Cthulhu seems to have blessed.)
Sorry about incoherent jumping-around babble, but I'm loving this.
