I really liked the wedding scene. Yeah it's kind of dopey how it all fits together but I thought it had some cool moments.

Also I imagine on the side of Yevon having the wedding go ahead would be a huge boon. Not many people know about Yuna and co "killing" Seymour and I can see the church saying that any rumours of the event being false. After all it was only a few people at Macalania temple who saw the whole thing go down. No one really mentions the whole unsent zombie thing so I guess it would be easy to cover the whole thing up. Especially considering the clout the temple has on manipulating public thought. Everyone seems quite excited about the wedding so having it go ahead would be great for publicity.

Bevelle Cloister is pretty bad, but I'd still put down Macalania's as the worst (ICE BLOCK PUZZLES! :argh:). Bevelle's is more tedious than difficult. And the missable treasure chest, while annoying, contains a subpar weapon, so no huge loss.

Where did you learn how to do that?
Given all the martial arts it would be cool to see Fei and Grahf as a DLC two pack. Summon Weltall and own everyone with nipple cannons for the final smash.

...the gameplay/cinematic gap is so weird. Somehow it worked in ff7 I guess because nobody thought about it too much. Has anyone done guns in an rpg in any kind of way that makes sense, or is satisfying?

As someone who actually liked the Cloister of Trials, I found myself annoyed enough to use a GameFAQs guide for Macalania's.

But even Macalania's Cloister wasn't as offensive as Bevelle's. Everyone in Bevelle is an rear end in a top hat, especially the interior decorators. :argh:

If I can say one good thing about it, you don't have to worry about backtracking to it later since it automatically gives you the Destruction Sphere treasure.

Nope. I'd already played and beaten it by the time Spoony got around to reviewing it.

I enjoyed the game, and I'd heard good things about TDI LPs, so I decided to check it out when it popped up.

Is there a person who clicked on his second video after watching the first one? If so, why? It was just 30 minutes of complaining about Blitzball physics and calling Tidus a fag over and over. Did that review seriously make you wonder if the game was lovely or not?

I will say one thing for it, at least (from what I remember) they made it so you can't screw up and leave without using the Sphere of Destruction in the Cloister.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Back when I bought guides with the game, I always, always followed carefully for the directions to Bevelle.

I'm already bad at puzzles, I imagine I literally would not finish the game without that guide.

Huh, so that's what it feels like to have repressed memories return. I genuinely had completely forgotten about the Bevelle cloisters, and that one image brings it all rushing back.

I think I know how. I think there are two cloisters, and this is the one we take because we are running from the armed forces. Either that, or they just call it temple stuff.

I don't mind the other Cloisters, but Bevelle can piss off. At least the other cloisters are easy enough if you know what you're doing. Bevelle practically requires a walkthrough.

To the best of my judgment, your Pastor, and by consequence all that are about him devote all their zeal and ingenuity and subtlety to devise how best and most speedily they may bring the Christian religion to nought and banish it from the world. And because I see that what they so zealously endeavour does not come to pass, but that on the contrary your religion continually grows, and shines more and more clear, therein I seem to discern a very evident token that it, rather than any other, as being more true and holy than any other, has the Holy Spirit for its foundation and support.
