Question about Yuna

June 15, 2007, 3:48 PM

Hi I am new to the forum and would like your thoughts on something I have been pondering on regards the character Yuna.

I am tying to write a story tied into the FFX world as I have always loved this particular game and the characters and writing it kinda got me thinking about this. Picture a scenario in your head where, without giving anything away, Yuna has defeated an enemy. If that enemy then begged her for mercy would Yuna show mercy? Or would she kill her enemy? How merciful would she be in such a situation do you think? This enemy is a real bad guy so it's a difficult morality issue but he has no awesome powers like Sin for example.

I want to try and portray her as accurately as possible and I believe fan sites like this are always the best way to get an idea of how people see her.

Thanks!

i beleive she would unless for instance the monster had killed tidus or braska

I think Yuna would be merciful, and let the "enemy" live, but no one can say for sure what she would do.

I agree with St. Matthews on the 'no one really knows what she would do' part. I'm actually leaning over towards not giving mercy to a foe, especially because of her experiences with Sin.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

unless he killed someone she would have mercy

Yuna isn't some kind of killing machine that just goes around murdering ruthelessly. I truly believe that if she were fighting a foe and that enemy begged for her mercy, I don't think Yuna would have the heart to kill it... UNLESS it was already damaged enough to the point of where it could not be saved Yuna would put it out of it's misery or if it did anything to harm Tidus or one of her well-loved companions, I think Yuna would take the liberty to kill it, no matter how much it pleaded.

Hey thanks for the replies so far

Some really interesting points made.

Just to add slightly to what I am describing the enemy is a human (if that makes a difference to this) and hasn't harmed Tidus etc. Writing this bit I am on it just "feels" wrong having Yuna act unmercifully here but its tough to say what she would do. Her mood is certainly very fervid and pumped up, they had been battling for quite a long time.

I'm def thinking that she wouldn't have the heart to kill even her deepest enemies in this sort of situation? She might toil with her own emotions about what to do but ultimately decide she just couldn't do it... As ppl have said though it is perhaps impossible to say.

If this were about Paine I'd quickly accept she'd act mercilessly as that seems to be her nature but with Rikku, for example, I also couldn't imagine her having the heart to kill someone who pleaded with her for mercy.

I think that Yuna is first, and foremost, a compassionate human being. She doesn't like to kill or harm, she prefers to negotiate things rather than fighting, in fact, fighting is often the "last option" for Yuna.

I truly feel she'd be more open to letting the enemy have another chance. She's not ruthless. But she is firm when she needs to be.

I didnt play alot of FFX but i did play enough to understand Yuna's personality. I think she would be merciful and let the fiend live.

If the enemy killed Tidus or Braska then she would kill it if not she would let it live
