I don't know if I'm gonna change.

samatethecookieFeeling better than I did the past few days. I'm trying to look on the brighter side of the situation. I keep reminding myself that everyone else is okay.
Currently I'm still plugging away at Final Fantasy X. Last night, I experienced Tidus and Yuna's epic first kiss and my characters reached the Calm Lands, which is a great place to level up. I seriously need to work on my characters' abilities. I have some thoughts about the game underneath the cut.
(1) I think I've got my ships figured out for this game.
Tidus/Yuna is cute. It's not hot or anything, but I love them together and I can't imagine them being with anyone else.
Wakka/Lulu...the story isn't selling it to me, sorry. I think they get together in X-2, if I remember it right, and apparently they're canon? It bothers me because she used to date his brother Chappu and I don't like the idea of Lulu moving onto Wakka. That and I'm not feeling the chemistry between them.
I don't ship Wakka with anyone, because I'm not really his biggest fan right now. He's my least favorite character at the moment, but who knows? It could change with time.
I know people ship Seymour/Yuna. It squicks me out. Seymour is the grossest Final Fantasy villain ever.
I kind of ship Auron/Rikku, because I'm drawn to older, cranky guys and younger, annoying girls getting together, for some reason. I'm fine with her crushing on him, but I can't imagine Auron returning those feelings because, y'know, he's dead. (Yes, I've been spoiled. Thanks, Kingdom Hearts!) The thing is, my FF OTP is Vincent/Yuffie, yet I don't want to see Auron and Rikku together. I'm full of contradictions!
Also, um, this might be my fanon instead of canon instincts but did Auron have a thing for Tidus' mom, or am I reading too much into specific scenes? And how does Auron go to Zanarkand? When did Tidus meet him? How is Auron able to travel to a different world when he's dead? How long was he in Zanarkand? I'M SO CONFUSED. (Please don't spoil anything to me. I don't want to know, I want to find out for myself.)
(2) Um, the lip syncing and voice acting is really awkward in this game. Like, characters say their lines before their mouths open, or their dialogue keeps going without their lips moving. Yeah, the game was made a long time ago so there's going to be mistakes. I JUST NOTICE THESE THINGS, OKAY.
(3) I already know Yuna isn't going to die-die, but man, the reveal to Tidus was heart breaking to watch. Poor bb.
(4) Sphere Grid, how I loathe you.
(5) I have love/hate going on with Yuna. I love her dedication and her concern for other people, and it's admirable that she's willing to bring Calm to Spira, but some of the decision she makes aren't smart at all. And I hope she realizes she doesn't have to sacrifice everything just to make other people happy.
(6) I knew Jecht couldn't have been a big of an asshole as Tidus thought he was. (Like, yes, Jecht was a mean, stupid drunk, but I don't think Jecht meant any of the things he said while he was drunk. It's not an excuse and I'm not pretending he was a nice guy when he wasn't, but I kept thinking there was more to the story than what Tidus was showing us at the beginning.) And I knew it had something to do with his mother - who I wish they concentrated on a little more, because, like Cloud's mom, she's briefly mentioned and then she drops off the face of the Earth.
