Oh weird. I never noticed that Wantz is using binoculars, even though later in the game we find out he's been taking photos (which is in NO WAY creepy, ergh).
That whole sequence with the female Goers kidnapping Keepa is a funny yet horrific easter egg that I only stumbled across while trying to get the script together. FFVII isn't the only FF with canon sexual harassment!
I love all your headcanons. The What If Zanarkand Still Existed one, and, of course, the Guardian bit that we get to see soon! (Which I suspect will add extra resonance to the scene when Auron inserts himself into the pilgrimage with a crowbar.)
" it [his mouth] has to be big enough to accommodate the yellow-booted FEET he is constantly stuffing into it." Dear Waffles. You realize I'm going to think of Tidus as Waffles from now on? Congratulations. ("MEMORIES OF THAT DAY STILL HAUNT WAFFLES.") So many things in your walkthrough make me snicker.
"Yuna gushing breathlessly and in great detail to her about every conversation she had with him that day. And Lulu listening patiently while silently willing her to omg please just go to sleep." Heh. That's pretty much what I imagined as well.
Gack, Seymour's creepy gaze erasing Tidus is SKEEERY
Seymour is so much more convincing in Japanese. His voice is charismatic, compelling, and sounds disarmingly noble, whereas the English dub made him sound like a creeper from the start. It's much easier to understand why Yuna and the people of Spira are taken in by him with his beautiful voice. He's like Saruman in the books, you just want to trust him. Here's the undub for this scene. (Maester Mika's voice is a hilarious Japanese archetype.)
I love the tall female Ronso over by the fishies. (Irga, I think?) Never occurred to me that she's a cat, so of course she likes fishies. And yes, I like to imagine the polar bear Ronso Fang team swimming in glacial lakes because Ronso are just that tough. The warm water in Luca is probably part of what slows them down; they are not really a very good team.
I never caught the fact that Biran makes a swipe at Kimahri's horn stub. SO RUDE. And yes, the priorities of "we must stop to watch the blitz tournament at all costs, no matter what else is happening" hits the silly stage at times and may perhaps explain how Yuna was nabbed.
/headcanon: That sailor lady with the wild pants is the blitzball free agent Kiyuri (or at least, that's her sprite; you can recruit her on the ferry). I think she's also the lady in the power room who gives Waffles a hard time for being clueless. So I made her the tough and somewhat abrasive ship's captain in the first part of LHAD before the story ran away from me.
All the monks leaving the machina to us while pretending they're actually going to do something are funny. Of course, they're probably really there to make sure Seymour's Surprise doesn't damage the ship.
Lulu levitating like Princess Peach made me spit. I would like to pretend that she hitches a ride on the big blue kitty, but the animation in this particular sequence doesn't allow for it. We will hope that the boat wasn't all that far from the dock when she jumped. (Then again, how did they all get back, after it sailed away? Lalalala.) Also, Lulu throwing that signal flare up is one of my favorite things, because it lets me justify any number of creative applications for her elemental magic beyond the basic attack spells we see in combat.
"We did it! We're in the finals!" I'll have you know that when you're a long suffering fan willing a team to win for years and years, there's a certain psychological component so that it does feel like "we." (As of right now, my baseball team is in the playoffs after years of being miserable to watch, and WE ARE VERY HAPPY. Yes sports is an insane bit of human culture.)
Tardar Sauce. Awwwww. Yes. :)
All the little psychological messes of these people, with their hangups going prickle-prickle off one another: Lulu's problems with Chappu, ex-blitzer, Wakka's Al Bhed prejudice, Yuna Apologies Everywhere. Ouch.
