Wakka is my favorite character in this game (My favorite design is Auron, though). He's the only supporting member to really have a strong character arc, much like (And sort of paralleling) Steiner in IX. None of the other supporting characters change significantly over the course of the game, with the possible exception of Rikku.

Wakka gives one of the best character-development lines later in the game that really sums up how far he's come.

Yeah maybe I'm just finally losing my memory but I could swear the trials are and always have been revisitable later (especially considering the Destruction Spheres), it was just that in the International Version there happens to be a small landmine of a change which renders it very much in your interests to clear everything out the first time although strictly speaking it's still as possible as it ever was to revisit.

Your memory is accurate, and that landmine also exists in the HD PC version.

I always kind of liked how combat in these early areas is basically a "match the party member to the enemy" game. It's obviously not gonna stay that simple forever, but I don't think it ever entirely stops being a thing you keep in mind.

It's a pretty efficient tutorial, yeah.

Maybe the other teams died recently.

In a world where Sin attacks happen randomly and more commonly along coastlines (which is where Blitzball players would be practicing unless they have a huge aquarium inland) this isn't exactly an outrageously improbable notion.

Ik Wakka's defense, I'd like to point out that he's very clearly being racist here because he was brought up to be racist and his main flaw is that he doesn't spend much time questioning the authorities in his life.

He's a simple boy, with all the good and bad points that implies.

Is Rikku the final party member we get?

Not counting Yuna's ever increasing stable of PokemonAeons, yes.

On the other hand, instantly killing a giant monster using a plushie is amazing, so I'd say it balaces out.

... Vote to get a plushie with Zombietouch. You know why.
