I thought the introduction was to show how different the world of Spira was without Sin. It would make sense for Yuna to preform at a concert, after all a sumoners job was to help people. This help could include helping either chear the world up or helping them nove on from the dark ages of Yevon's religous rule or even both.


Concerning LeBlancs robbery in the first scene. It is possible she did it just for attention, I also like the Idea she was a expert at dusquise.... and who knowss maybe she was using that tallent throughout the game to spy on Nooj or the three heros? :-D I would like to add two more possible ideas to be be concidered.

1) She did it to cut down the competion, If Yuna was percieved to be a pop star she might find it harder to be Lebalncs Rival. Thus making her job easier.

2) LeBlanc like the man who trianed the aroachs in Blitzball could be one of the few not happy with Yuna stealing the lime light. Forr better or worse LeBlance could just see Yuna as n anoyhing problem or threat due to her fame and nortority. She could of been hoping to debunk her.


On a final note :-P I think Yuna had guns because they where an easy weapon to learn. It made more sense that Paine had the Sword by deafault due to her background, Yuna simply got guns becuase her staff was made redundant. And more importantly she got the guns when Riki gave her the make over. This make over was done to make Yuna seem lik another or new person. We have seen her in 10 2 struggle with peoples ecpectation of the old her, and she had it alot worse at the end of final fantasy 10 in a specail DVD feature. She agreed to run off with Riki, and have a compeat image chage that included doing somthing radical (People would not stop going on pilgramages to see her, and even had people trying to mary her )

Guns are ne new cool in SPira anyway, a sword of her dead boyfriends would of just let the locals link her to her old self.
