What did they do to Yuna?!

EDIT: Thanks to Rei Ayanami for moving the thread *embarrassed*

Okay, this is REALLY old news, but I still want to say this.

*clears throat* Uh-hum-hum...

WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH SQUARE-ENIX?!



Why did they turn Yuna into a ditzy airhead in FFX-2?! What was wrong with the young, passionate woman looking forward to life where only tragedy lay before?

Now before you tell me it's about marketing, let me say this: I don't care that she's wearing little clothing; that actually didn't bother me at all!

...Although for the record, since Yuna didn't wear a bra in FFX-2, her breasts were sagging a little compared to when she actually HAD a bra in FFX. Just saying...



While I liked Yuna's old summoner outfit in FFX, I don't fault Square-Enix for making Yuna more sexually appealing in FFX-2.



I get it; less clothing equals sexiness, and sex sells, even for a T-rated game. Alright, fine. No problem with that.

But why was she...so...so...ugh, I don't even know the word!

At first I tried to find reason in Yuna's drastic change in behavior.

Here's a woman who spent most of her life prepared to die for the cause she believed in; to help ease the suffering of Spira. She was mentally prepared to forgo the various joys that other people were going to enjoy during the "Calm" while she had a rank that would mean nothing to her in death.

And then suddenly, that fate no longer exists. She was now free of the burden she brought upon herself by defeating the the returning chaos Sin once and for all. With the man she fell in love with gone and giving the world and her a chance for real peace, Yuna would look towards the future and decide her own life. Have fun, and live the things she thought she wouldn't be able to enjoy.

...So why did she come a stereotypical ditz within 2 years?

You can't tell me turning one of the best FF characters into a...whatever she is... in a spin-off game was for marketing sales. Even if Yuna ran around in short-shorts that probably gave her wedgies, she didn't have to act so...stereotypical.

I guess that's all. Yuna's new behavior is kind of understandable, but not to such extremes.

Well, her attitude and haircut reminded me of "Tidus". Maybe it was her way to try to preserve the memories of him, or a good excuse to turn Yuna into....something entirely....can't find the adequate word, average? Yes, she was not a summoner anymore, so I guess she just wanted to do what she believed would make her life more enjoyable.


Also Rikku must have had something to do with it....>__>

If I recall correctly: Brother, Cid and Isaaru didn't change looks wise. Only their personalities and individual roles in the game changed.

Its all Tidus' fault. Remember he was the one who taught her no matter what your role in life, be it a commoner or a savior, it's alright to laugh (oh gawd, that was horrible). Also, when you hang with Rikku for two years it tends to rub off on you. Oh poopie! You big meanie!

what'd I tell ya?

Thanks Cerri!

Some people say that if I cut my hair and do it the same way Yuna does in X2 that I would look just like her. But I'm not sure.

As for Yuna in X2, she annoyed me. I couldn't stand how air headed she was. It was like she went from a mature seventeen year old who was willing to sacrifice her life for the world to a little 13 year old who just hit puberty and discovered boys.

And honestly, I can not stand what they did to Rikku either. She was no where as hyper as she was in X. In X, Rikku was part of a race that was looked down upon in Spira and she was out to save the summoners, specifically Yuna. She was intelligent as she knew how to use machines and she always had Yuna's best interest at hand. Sure she was a littel more happy than the rest, but no where near to the extent that she was in X2. It's strange, because she was the most modestly dressed girl in X. (Not that any of the women in X were dressed in skimpy clothes, Riku was just the most covered up of all of them. Lulu just showed a lot of clevage, Yuna showed a little clevage, most of her back, and had a nice slit in her skirt that her legs would show through when she twirled around, and Rikku for the most part was dressed like a little kid.)

I would have liked X much better if Yuna were the calm, mature thoughtful one, Paine was the badass, and Rikku was the upbeat yet intelligent character.

Thread has been moved to Final Fantasy X section.

Mmkay, you know the rules, no spamming plx thx.

What I've noticed with FFX-2 Yuna is she looks more like a man. It's just her face looks different and less feminine.

she is definately not ditsy, and she was always a airhead.
but although i have no problem with the change, i do think it doesn't suit her

Yuna was actually living for the first time in her life.
You'd probably be a lot different too.

As for Rikku...no excuse can be made for her in X-2.

And Paine was just totally out-of-place horrible lovechild of Squall and Lulu.
