Guardian Role

[Ashe B'nargin]

Sorry Mods if this question has already been asked and this question does contain spoilers..

Okay. If you were taken into the role of a Guardian was asked to guard a close Friend or known Summoner. How would you feel about it ? And would you try and stop the Summoner from calling the Final Aeon ? Or you wouldn't really mind/ think it's better for Spira.

And also would you be the one to give- yourself to up to become the next Sin while in Zanakand ?

Personally. If a Summoner was a close friend it would feel pretty awkward. Just wouldn't know what to say. But will honestly let her/ him summon the Final Aeon.
Would feel totally selfish/ arrogant if told a friend to stop just so I could be happy.

If the Summoner was just a known villager/ some famous random. Would feel pressured to try and level up more often and fight impressively and really not say the wrong things that might try and tick him off. Also might break under pressure more.

And no wouldn't become the next Sin. Frankly. Becoming a big blue thing that looks like a giant shark would be painfully retarted.

So what do you think ?

I am going to have to agree with you there. I think I wouldn't be able to say anything to my friend that was a summoner. It's like you said, I wouldn't be able to stop them without being completely selfish.

I would however be a good friend and be a Guardian, while I couldn't stop my friend. I would most definitely want them to be safe. And I think the bond of friendship is one of the most strongest bonds there is.

I'd be a guardian for a friend loved one etc, but not anyone that meant nothing to me, I'd want to help keep my friends safe, a randomer surely has their own friends, and why would they want me anyway

Not to sure about the being Final Aeon part, because until you GET to Yunalesca that's never part of the deal seeing as no one knows about it til they get there

If I was the only Guardian, Id be snookered and probably feel obligated, gutted, if I wasn't and the other guardians were my friends also...bah what a grim scenario xD

I suppose it depends how much the Summoner meant to me if I decided to make the ultimate (GAY) sacrifice...and how much the other guardians meant to me too. How grim if there were only 3 of you, 2 snuff it, one has to make it back through Zanarkand and Gagazet alone.....

I'd probably challenge their decision to become a Summoner to find their reasoning, although tbh "defeat Sin" is pretty unmatchable as a reason. xD If I ascertained that their heart was in it, I'd basically demand that I'd be their Guardian; if it's a loved one I'd want to make sure that they got wherever as safely as possible and not let them out of my sight.

It'd be a heart-wrenching experience I'm guessing - knowing that your friend/partner (or otherwise) is about to die which you can't do shit about. As for becoming Sin, well, I'd probably want to become their Final Aeon so that I can have that final bond with them. On the downside I'd be the one killing him/her. >_>



A scenario with conflicting emotions. On the other hand, if I didn't go and become their Guardian, I'd probably sit at home kicking myself.

That's not 100% accurate. It's when Yu Yevon takes control of the final aeon that the summoner dies. Because Anima is Seymour's final aeon. But all that is from the FF wiki so should perhaps be taken with a pinch of salt.

If the summoner was a friend of mine then to me, it would be fairly obvious, become their guardian. They're going to die anyway so might as go on the pilgramage and enjoy being with your friend until he/she dies.
As for being the final aeon, I'd feel obligated if I were chosen to be it.

That's a good point, I'd also want to spend what time I still could with them.

We have to keep in mind that as a guardian, we wouldn't actually know the entire Final Aeon becomes Sin thing, or that yevon is

Spoiler

actually the bad guy.

So we can't judge our decision on that.
Personally, going on a pilgrimage like that would be intimidating unless there were at least two others. However, I guess if they weren't friends of the summoner also (if I was), then I'd probably get paranoid about them.

I wouldn't want to be the Final Aeon - after all we know Jecht is tortured as Sin. At the same time I wouldn't want to see my friends all killed. So.. I just know I wouldn't mind being a summoner - not sure about my role in the grand scheme, though.

 

[Lebreau]

Hmm... it's hard to tell. For a really good friend, I'd want to be there with him/her til the end. I would feel so horrible if I didn't go with them as a guardian, because what if something happened before they got to Zanarkand? As for the whole Final Aeon business... I would probably offer, but if he/she wanted to choose someone different, I wouldn't be offended or anything, of course. Oh, and the guardian part: a lot would depend on if I trusted the other guardians on the pilgrimage.

 

[Ironman]

In all hoesty, if i was a guardian to a close friend, or a summoner that i knew i would have to tell her/him to wait until I'm Dead before calling the final Aeon, i would tell the summoner that the final Aeon is a last resort, and that as long as i was still breathing then the summoner should let me do my job and protect their life.

As for the giving my life to become the final Aeon and eventually become sin, however badass My Aeon for would be, [ i would make Anima, the magus sisters and even Yojimbo look like a box of fluffy kittens] i would still want to protect the the life of the summoner at all costs, (which means keeping them alive) and i would know that if i became the final Aeon then i wouldn't be able to stop the summoner calling me and killing themself

 

[Gert]

I'm not sure what I would say to the summoner... I think I would ignore the fact that s/he was going to die at the end, just the way Yuna's guardians ignored it, then just deal with it when I was forced to. I think it would be way too difficult to deal with before then, and impossible to make that journey and take steps toward his/her death willingly if I was thinking about it.

As for becoming the Final Aeon, I would honestly...not do it. The idea of becoming an aeon, first of all... I would be afraid of it hurting, afraid of not being human anymore, afraid of what would happen to my mind, sad to lose everyone in my life, and of course utterly afraid of becoming Sin (if we assume we know that's what happens). Even without the becoming Sin bit, the rest would probably be more than enough to deter me. Apparently I am not that brave..

Incredibly interesting question!

 

[Lirael]

I would find it incredibly hard and I'd talk things through in order to ensure my friend was certain, but as long as I felt confident that they were making the right personal decision, I'd support them. I'd do everything within my power to ensure their success.

If ever they had a moment of doubt, I'd be there to discuss their feelings so that, again, I felt certain they wouldn't have any regrets. I wouldn't try to influence them; I'd help them sort out how they feel. If ever they asked me what I thought about their pilgrimage, I'd tell them that they had to do what was right for them. They shouldn't feel obliged to bring an eternal calm, they shouldn't live with regret.

Would I become the Final Aeon? Knowing what I do about the torture Jecht had to go through as Sin, I'm not sure I could do it. I'd hate to bring pain and chaos to others. On the other hand, I'd hate to see one of my friends become Sin...

I'd probably do what Tidus did and insist we seek an alternative.

 

[Bound By Deception]

For a really good friend, I wouldn't think twice about it. I'll fight to protect him/her with my life, and fulfill my goal as guardian. I'll do what Jecht did, and become the final Aeon to defeat sin. Another decision I wouldn't think twice about. If it was a random person, I wouldn't do it. I'll feel akward then.
