The Yu Pagodas

[Medi]

Ok, when fighting Jecht, the Aeons, and Yu Yevon himself, there are these Yu Pagodas. But, what do they do, besides heal Yu Yevon? Do they have some sort of significance or symbolism?

Just wondering

[Hambone]

I don't think they serve a purpose...

[Lost Number]

There probably is, I dunno.

[BG-57]

They rotate.

Although, if memory serves, the rotating sections line up right before the end of the battle.

[Medi]

Yeah, I know. They encase Yu Yevon, and vaporize. But that really doesn't mean anything. I just want to know of they symbolize anything. :(

[Little Blue]

I think they help, eg heal and stuff, the enemy during the fights, but my fights have never lasted long enough to see this actually happen...

[BG-57]

Pagodas are religious structures that contain shrines or memorials. Maybe they memorialize Yevon's memories of Zanarkand?

[Lost Number]

Maybe they represent that Yu Yevon is as a God?

That's probably most likely. Maybe Future Esthar could make a theory about this.

I'll Wiki it!

Dont tempt fate.

[BG-57]

D'oh! :eek:

This is off topic but I just remembered that in FFVII you fight Goda at the top of a Pagoda. I never noticed a (tenuous) connection until now.

[BlackRibon]

I believe that they're just Yevon's energy source, that's why they're healing him all the time!

[Carl the Llama]

They can only heal Yu-Yevon if both of them are "alive" if one of them in incapasatated then the other will attack you

[mega_tonberry]

They symbolize extreme anoyance.

[Psydekick]

Don't they cast Reflect and stuff?

[Call911Quick]

i think they help yevon heal for 9999... my tidus n auron didn't have dmg break, so they could only do 9999 dmg until i was like 1/2 way thru i figured out to use magic break... XD yuna did a consistent 30-40k dmg with her holy

[boys from the dwarf]

i think the yu pagodas are probbably old yevon symbols and statues and these ones have been reanimated to serve yu yevon or somethin like that. also call911quick, your sig is far too big so the mods will probly delete it if you dont make it smaller.

[Tavrobel]

The Yu Pagodas are there for practical reasons. During the Aeon fights (including Braska's FA), they dispel all status ailments, and heal for about 3000 HP (1500 each), AND they increase the Overdrives of the Aeons. Fortunately for you, none of the Aeons can break 9999, and even if you die, it's instant Auto-Life.

The Yu Pagodas themselves are more of an Enigma. They could be statues and reanimated, as other people have said. Also in the cutscene after Yu Yevon's defeat, they seal themselves and Yu Yevon away from the final encounter. They could be the guardians of an alternate dimension, but nothing more is said on the matter in the game, even if anyone knew of the existence of the Pagodas.

They also fill the overdrive bar fairly quickly (for Jecht they only had to charge him like 3 times before his bar became full).

Some people, unlike you, like challenges and don't want to do 99,999 per hit when they're fighting a story line final boss.

ultimate pwnage

[BahamutGurl]

I dunno what they do except heal. You might already know this but if you use zombie attack on yu yevon, and yevon tries to heal with the yu pagodas, he will take a good amount of damage and the same when he uses curaga on himself

dont say it like theres a way to get 99999 damage AFTER you kill that boss. <_< cause thats the end of the storyline.. i hate replaying games i just finished. :P
