Farplaner, i get what your saying.
By the way as Auron has said like 100 times in X--'This is your story, and you decide how it develops'. This sums it all up to the fact that Auron will keep out of life changing decisions, and has already stated that he will stay obliged to his words.
I think this is a wise and very memorable quote by Auron, and can even have some sense of great morality about it, by saying that you shouldn't be swayed by others and it's really your own personal story to decide every chapter you come upon in your life.
That is why he's my most best character in all games i played so far!
