I like that the thing that pushes Wakka over to being pro-machina is the unbridled destructive power of an airship missile barrage, as he whoops and hollers at the fireworks like the backwoods hick he is while not recognizing the murder of a major touchstone of a minority culture. Because gently caress it, shooting a ton of missiles looks awesome.

Occupation posted:So I just finished 13-2 They touch on it a couple of times but really you've already seen the whole thing play out. The first time you meet her she says she's supposed to be dead but she got saved by some paradox. When you leave Academia after collecting the graviton cores she apologises, says something along the lines of "I'm not part of the future you're trying to find", and then you get ambushed by Caius. If you come back after that, she's not there and no one knows who she is. You fixed whatever paradox had saved her, so she's long dead and no one ever met her.

And then in the greatest paradox ending, Snow shows up to arrest her for working with Caius, and then Snow and Serah ride off on a sweet time-traveling motorcycle to solve TIME CRIMES while Noel is left bodyguarding Hope.

I love the hell out of the scene on the shoopuf where he goes off on the al bhed for being cowards and thieves or whatever right in front of Rikku and Tidus has to trick him into shutting up. Yuna even does a perfect "thanks for letting our racist friend down easy" look and mouths thank you behind his back.

If I have to give FFX credit for something, Wakka is a surprisingly realistic adaptation of That One Racist Shithead Everyone Knows.

I assumed he only moved when you beat your personal record. Seriously I was sweating last night thinking about having to get < 0.0.0 again. Trying to do everything (from memory) at once is probably a bad idea for future reference.

Yuna even does a perfect "thanks for letting our racist friend down easy" look and mouths thank you behind his back. I know a lot of people give Wakka poo poo for being racist, but they did make it pretty clear in game that he hates them mostly because they use Machina. Not just because they are Al Bhed. The game also makes it pretty clear that all of the Al Bhed are down with Machina. I cannot think of a single example in the game where we learn about an Al Bhed who believes otherwise. Wakka and everyone around him was raised to believe that a big part of the reason that Sin (the murderer of Wakka's parents, his brother, and tons of other important people to him) keeps resurrecting is because the teachings are not being followed. The teachings say Machina = bad. My point is that Wakka clearly hates the Al Bhed because of what they choose to do. Not because of their race. At the same time, Wakka's mind begins as being pretty closed off which deserves criticism, but I don't think that it resembles racism as much as it resembles the traditional mind set of hard core believers of any type of faith and that questioning such beliefs is frowned upon and should be avoided. At least, that has always been my take on it. I welcome other opinions coupled with justifications.

Dr Pepper posted:I find it hilarious that the Psyches are in story beaten with just a bit of minor injury drama for Wakka while the Goers are the tough nigh unbeatable champions while once you play Blitzball the Psyches are by far the strongest team and the Goers are chumps.

Does X-2 have any kinda superbosses or anything? I'm just skipping all the cutscenes but gonna try to do as much in the game as possible, even though I can't get 100% in it. gently caress bullshit anime stories, seriously.

If you're playing the normal version of X-2, there's the Via Infinito bosses, capped off with Trema at the bottom, as well as Angra Mainyu. The International Version/HD remaster also has Major Numerus, and Mighty Shinra.

edit: nvm, I misread Later on, though, apparently the most efficient way of making money is buying cheap armor, slapping SOS Regen on it (the material for which you get 40 a pop from killing Kottos in the arena), and selling those en masse. I've yet to get to that point, since I got like ten million from just catching monsters in Omega Ruins, but it's something to keep in mind for later.

It's literally impossible for the Aurochs to have scored on Nimrook from their stats, so it's the only theory that makes sense.

I like the sphere grid, but minmaxing in that game is a pain. Surprised how much I'm having fun with X-2. I went to Besaid, made all the characters white mages, but a weight on the top of my X button and now the game is levelling up my jobs for me. Beautiful.

Good news: if you want to have a hope of beating Major Numerus you'll need to grind YRP probably to level 99, and even then, there's a fair amount of luck in the fight. If you use monsters though, you can fairly well trivalize it.

Man, it's been so long since I played FFX the first time that I'd forgotten what a motherfucker Seymour Flux is. Probably doesn't help that I've taken diversions on the expert sphere grid so nobody has Curaga yet. Gave everyone Zombie Ward armour thinking I was so smart but it turns out he has an attack that basically wipes your party. May just go "gently caress it" and use Trio of 9999.
