How did you first react to Yuna?

[Shu]

She I guess was a bit weak at first and too forth coming, but aren't all female characters at first? I did like her as the story progressed, she was a real sweet heart. Her summons were epic as well, aenima will always be my favorite.

Tidus was a bit of a baby at first, but grew up. Those two were good together.

 

[Estella Vanilla]

I didn't like her, the way she speaks is very weak. She doesn't have presence and consequently makes her look powerless. It's like being a political figure but not being able to speak in front of anyone. And just the WAY she speaks it's god awful.

She always does what she SHOULD do or she thinks everyone WANTS her to do. Just because she said she WOULD marry Seymour I mean... I don't respect that. I know she doesn't go through with it but it's not the point.

I like Tidus and Yuna as a couple because he brings her out of her shell but... I just don't like Yuna individually. She's a follower and the opposite of a leader like she claims to be. lol

 

[Fusionist]

First impression: I thought she would be an annoying damsel in distress that became the hero's lover like Rinoa from FFVIII was, but I was pleasantly surprised to see she had great importance to the story. That she and Tidus hooked up was just a side part of the story.

I mean, the story is pretty much about Yuna told from Tidus' POV, right?

But anyways, Yuna's character appealed a lot to me. She is a a bit on the shy, quiet meek side, however throughout the story, we can see her courage and resolve.

 

[Demaris]

When I first saw Yuna I screamed Mary Sue. O look, she's so pretty and demure and soft spoken....and oh lookie she's also really important to the story due to her special powerzzz and the main hero is instantly smitten. *sigh* Usually I look past these common FF heroine traits if the character has a personality that I find intriguing. Unfortunately for Yuna, she was as flat as roadkill. I respect the fact that she was prepared to die and yadda yadda, she is beautiful and her story is actually great. My problem is that she let people walk all over her and constantly spoke in that weak little voice, apologizing and acting like a huge burden to everyone. She was so inoffensively bland that she became offensive to me. This is one instance where I never changed my opinion of a character at all, my first impression was pretty much dead on.

I actually preferred Yuna in FFX-2! Okay, the fact that her entire story revolved around a guy was annoying and I hate it when that's all female characters focus on, and I hated the singing and the outfit, but I preferred her confident and upbeat.

 

[prince of darkness]

i kie rikku a little more than Yuna i think that tidus should had fell in love with her and not Yuna , that wakka and Yuna ahould have came to be and not him and lulu and that Yuna fall with seymour and that we battle them together:seymour::yuna::wakka:

 

[Yuna+Tidus=♥]

She's a follower and the opposite of a leader like she claims to be. lol

She claims to be a leader? Lolwut? XD

Well, FFX was my first FF (Well, it was actually my third... but it technically was my first... it's a long story. Headache worthy...) and prior to playing it at all, the name 'Final Fantasy' always brought two names to my mind: Yuna and Cloud. Though, the Yuna that came to my mind was X-2 Yuna at the time.

So I already liked Yuna before I even played the game, which I think is the only reason she is my absolute favourite. When she first came out of the Chamber of the Fayth, I really was like 'ZOMG YUNA!', cause I actually didn't know it was FFX she was in. <3

Yuna may not be a very vocal person, but she is determined and totally selfless. The fact that she's 100% willing to put others before herself regardless of what it would mean she would lose (Her life if she used the Final Aeon, and her Aeons and Tidus as she pwnt Yu Yevon) is totally admirable IMO. I know for a FACT that I would never even consider becoming a summoner because of what it would mean, and if I was in her position at the end of FFX, I really doubt that I would manage to go through with it. It was a lose-lose situation for her when you think about it. Lose her aeons and her love, or let sin continue on terrorising Spira.

Despite those crap options, she soldiered on and saw it through to the end, no matter what, as she said she would. Who can't find any reason to respect her even a little bit after that? (All events of FFX-2 aside. As I'm sure many things from that would cancel out the respect...)

Yuna = Win.

 

[Irihi]

Ok very first impression of Yuna 'Aww how Cute. She's so adorable.'

I liked her for a bit then I went through this rough patch where I started to just find her a bit annoying and sorta too innocent for my tastes. She's ok in my books now and I still think her X version is adorable.

 

[Ang]

I liked her. You instantly knew she worked hard and tried her best. Yes, I also liked Rikku but I don't see what that has to do with anything. So if someone would like to clear that up...

Anyway, I agree that there was a sense of weakness about her but I liked the fact that she needed help. Her dependence made her more realistic. I mean, no-one is an island. She's probably the weakest FF heroine, but it dosn't seem like weakness when you see her. It kinda emminates as gentleness. I liked the innocence too.It was cute. The voice wasn't great though. But would I change her character?

Never. She was great from the start.

 

[Estella Vanilla]

She claims to be a leader? Lolwut? XD

So summoners weren't looked up to as leader figures? Everyone wanted the summoner to succeed so they could have a shot at a normal life for a few years. They were leaders, I suggest you don't kid yourself.

 

[Rockman X]

She I guess was a bit weak at first and too forth coming, but aren't all female characters at first?

No. Rosa wasn't. Celes wasn't. Yuffie wasn't. Tifa wasn't. Agrias wasn't. Beatrix wasn't. Lulu wasn't. Fran wasn't. Ashe wasn't.

Way to generalize, much?

This. Yuna was such a weak individual, it was pathetic. Actually, it's sort of unrealistic that the Aeons would actually grant their power to her. Compare her to someone like Princess Garnet. Sure, Garnet started off kinda weak and naive, but she was always trying to learn more and get stronger. At one point she even drugs everyone and knocks them out to run away so she can go confront her mother on her own. She traveled with a large group, but she still had balls enough to do things on her own. Yuna just smiles and nods and does whatever she's told and can't do anything without her group supporting her.

She claims to be a leader? Lolwut? XD

Um...she's a summoner....those people are revered just as much as Yu Yevon was. You take up a position as summoner and you're taking the position of a very powerful, important individual. It's a leader position, the only thing is, Yuna was such a wimp that she didn't act like the leader she was supposed to be.

The fact that she's 100% willing to put others before herself regardless of what it would mean she would lose (Her life if she used the Final Aeon, and her Aeons and Tidus as she pwnt Yu Yevon) is totally admirable IMO.

Riiiight...only she's doing it because she feels obligated to, because daddy was a summoner and she has to make him proud. Rikku had more balls than Yuna did.

You're right, she was definitely looked up to as a leader figure, everyone would kiss her ass wherever she went.

And I agree, she was a very weak individual, a beautiful one but like Shinra said in X-2, "Hero, summoner, doormat". In the beginning, she was constantly asking a stranger (Tidus) if she was doing the right thing and she rarely stood up for herself. She blindly followed the teachings, never once thinking about WHY things turned out for summoners the way they did.

She didn't claim to be a leader, though. And they weren't really leaders at all. They were Spira's ray of hope. Yes people kissed their asses non stop, but they didn't ask for it, nor did any of them do anything a leader would do. Their goal is to defeat sin. No leading involved there.

I understand your point, but leader is the wrong word to use.

 

[Laro]

At first I saw her, I thought she was very different than other characters. She seemed nice, fair and caring. The fist time I played FFX I didn't use her that much or her aeons. I just used her for White Magic which I thought fit her well.
It really surprised me when I noticed Tidus had a thing for her. I think she's not his type of girl and should've gone for Rikku. Although that's probably a different story.

 

[FFGuy]

My first reaction was that she was careful and always was caring for others, pretty nice for her character.

I fell in love with her sweet character all through the game.

Well I say leader because there can be religious leaders as well. Yuna = Pope. XD While she never outwardly proclaimed "I am a leader! " she did take on the role of a leader for her world which is why I said my previous statement.

It doesn't matter if she claimed to be a leader, and it doesn't matter if summoners didn't ask for it, they WERE regarded as leaders. Think about it, they communicate closely with the Fayth and they guide souls to the Farplane, they're much more in touch with religious elements of Yevon than normal people.

Ah, there we go, that's what I'm trying to explain. Summoners weren't political leaders, they were spiritual leaders, although that line is a little blurred since religion basically dictated politics.

Actually, I don't know why I didn't think of this before...but let's see what the Final Fantasy Wiki has to say:

Oh look. They're in the hierarchy of the church. Guess that means they are leaders. I uh...don't know wtf a miko is though...

Estella Vanilla said she claimed to be.

Leader is still the wrong word. Even that image shows that summoners were pretty low on the yevon food chain. The leaders were the Maesters (both political and spiritual. They lead Spira and Yevon), all the summoners kissed the maester's asses even when asked not to.

And being able to communicate with the Fayth doesn't make them leaders. Yevon is based on the teachings of Yevon, not the Fayth. They don't turn to the Fayth for guidance. If they communicated with Yevon himself, then yeah, they would be leaders since no one else could, but they don't.

And you shouldn't put so much trust into Wiki's/wikipedia. Anyone could easily change them and add false information, and I've seen quite a bit of crap on the FF wiki so it's not immune to false info =]

I don't even know why we're discussing this anyway. Doesn't matter.

Once again, claiming to be a summoner (which we have established is a religious leader) is the same thing as TAKING ON THE ROLE OF ONE. She is the leader she took the role of the leader therefore she claimed the title of leader.

And the source he provided is better than the source you provided. lol She's a leader, that's it. Leader of a broken world more specifically. That means that everyone put their faith into her and followed her/did whatever they could so she could succeed because their success was dependent upon HER success Just like our success is largely dependant on our government. And furthermore, we are not in danger of being eaten by a gigantic whale constantly so I'm sure they put even MORE faith into the summoners than we do in the government.

So there I hope that provides some clarification.

 

[Destination:Disaster]

Yuna is adorable. I've always wanted to be her. Haha, when I was little my brother would call me Yuna and I would giggle and dance like her and stuff. I think its she's so sweet and caring.

My first impression was that she's all innocent and kind, but I also thought she would be sort of weak. When the game got passed down to me, I found that if you use her enough at first, she's very useful later in the game. I hated FFX-2 because I liked her so much better when she was quiet and giggly and caring. She ended up being too fierce in FFX-2. It was just a complete turnover and it kinda disapointed me. Anyway, Yuna is AMAZING!

 

[Sohryuden666]

I thought Yuna was beautiful first time I saw her. Probably one of the prettiest FF girls in the series, in my opinion. My Mom actually wanted me to cut my hair like hers, which was weird. Anyway, I knew she was going to be the type of female lead that wouldn't get on my nerves. She was a very sweet, innocent girl I actually kind of looked up to when I saw how brave she was to go on that journey. That took guts. Then, FFX-2 came along and kind of screwed up my view of her character. Still loved her, but I had to get used to some...........changes.
