    Agreed 100%

    Glad to make you happy

    I did. What happened there that closed the thread ? The Viera liking humans more ?

    Remeber, she takes over the temple and begins helping the refugees who in turn inspires the people to finally move on with their lives and work towards restoring the temple and the order... Besides, the music in the temple changes back to it's original theme signifying a transformation of the location.
    You have gotta be kidding me! All the inferences you make are way above what is there The entire soundtrack sounds the same to me for starters. I did not notice the soundtrack change, I doubt most did.

    Check again dear. I doubt you noticed the music change since you've already admited in another thread that you listen to the FFX soundtrack while playing instead of the original soundtrack so it doesn't surprise me you noticed. Also go back and actually talk to all the NPCs and you'll see I am right, I get the feeling you only spoke to the Viera and ignored everyone else .

    I didn't make any interference as JonyH confirms it. You just weren't paying attention dear.

    We don't know that for certain, remember, a year passed after the ending so god only knows what the political spectrum may look like at this point.
    Precisely. Like above and in countless examples, you are filling in the blanks with YOUR creativity and talent. The game writers shirked their duty

    On X, all the players from both Blitz teams stop what they are doing to help rebuild the town. Also, Tidus narration says "As long as Sin exists Yuna will keep dancing" (i.e. people will keep dying) so you spend the entire game "Avenging Kilika" basically.

    On XII the tragedy at Bur-Omisace is completely ignored. Everyone in the game (but that Viera) acts like "sucks to be them" and does not pitch in to help. The temple and the refugees are ignored by Ashe too, which is a damn shame considering Anastasis and many others there gave their lives to buy her time to get Raithwall's sword.

    First off, your proof of "caring" happens like 5 minutes after the town is destroyed, second, the game only mentions Kilikia one more time during the blitz tournament (shudders...) and like XII, the game ignores it and most of the citizens act like nothing happened there and continue whining about Sin needing to be destroyed by the summoners...

    Now look at this situation logically. The world is walking on eggshells due to the threat of the rebels fighting the empire. Worst case scenario is the idea that Rozarrio may take advantage of the situation and get involved meaning the whole area will be plunged into a massive war.

    A neutral territory is attacked by the Archadians. Nalbina and Dalmasca cannot help as they are now part of the Archadian empire and have been stripped of any form of authority and power. Archadia won't do anything cause they were the ones that attacked it. Rozzario can't do anything cause one quick glance of the map shows that the temple is located on the backdoor of the Archadian Empire and the Archadians can exploit the situation as a sign of aggression. Throw in the fact that Mt. Burimasce is more of a regional influence as oppsed to a world power like the Catholic church and you can see why the empires have little interest in it.

    Throw in the fact that a lot of those people who are "ignoring" their plight mention that the area is dangerous and who knows when Archades will attack again since the public doesn't know the real reason for the attack.

    And how does Lady Ashe ignore it? You act like she has some form of influence in the game. Remember half the games plot is her trying to prove she's actually the real Lady Ashe. If she does reveal herself publicly; the rebels, with Rozarrio's aid, will attack the Archadians placing everyone into the worst case scenario.

    It all comes down to the game not specifically saying it was addressed while on the other hand, the game follows a certain type of logic that dictates otherwise as well as giving some evidence on the contrary (Fafnir Hunt). You say "the game doesn't say anything! Bad writing!" and I'm saying "The game gives enough logical evidence to say something happened, it's good writing!". I mean damn, this is starting to become like a debate with an atheist on the subject of the existence of a god:rolleyes2

    Trust me on that, by the little I've seen here you write much better than those folks

    Thank you, though I'm certain you would change your mind if you read any of my work.
