Yep. :) What Yevon needs is an outsider blundering around, shaking its foundations and challenging its precepts. Tidus is an excellent agent of change.
Yeah I still wonder about the Cloister of Trials. The ice and fire obstacles are treacherous enough to the unwary but what is really the worst thing that could happen to you if you get stumped by Besaid's sphere puzzle? You get stuck in there for awhile while you and your guardians figure it out? (And also, if you get stumped on Besaid's sphere puzzle . . . you probably shouldn't be preparing to go on a pilgrimage anyway.)
The way everyone in the game was describing it I was picturing a series of rooms with different challenges in them, designed to test the summoner's strength, skill, and wits. (Puzzles, monsters, riddles, traps, etc.) Some system of weeding out the unprepared or unworthy. But I have played a lot of D&D so my expectations were high.
I need to improve my organization system on tumblr, haha. The only way I was able to find that post was through my "final fantasy x" tag, which was over 200 posts long. But the archive system on tumblr is TERRIBLE.
And oh yes I really really hope we get a free-rotating camera in the remake. A zoom or first-person look feature would be really nice too. I always want to see all the little details of rooms even if we can't interact with them.
I think the temple priest could be a summoner as well so people would still address him as Father. (Presumably, Father Zuke still does summonery things like sendings.) And yeah for a long time I thought he meant Yuna too, and then I finally realized that that made no sense for several reasons. I don't know why the game never bothers to point out who the resident temple summoner is but it has to be that priest.
Hahahaha the people of Final Fantasy have mastered airships, black magic, flightless bird riding, and all kinds of weird sports and games but not PANTS.
I think if you pet a mini-coeurl the fur would flatten down but pop back up. They probably don't like it, though.
I really like the blending of religions in FFX. It gives it a real-world solemnity and gravity while still being a fantasy-world construct.
(I also like the evil central theocracy controlling everything. Religious dystopias are one of my favorite kinds. A lot of my family is Catholic but my mother parted ways with the Catholic Church when I was about three for feminist reasons, and I'm glad she did because otherwise I would have been raised with that. I think I must have picked up some of her residual bitterness towards the Church growing up.)
Hahaha and man poor Botta. Sustaining combat damage from a blitzball like a champion.
