    What I want to know is why Maechen didn't do anything? From X-2, we know he was around at Yunalesca's time. He spends a fair bit of time chatting to you at Gagazet, detailing the entire history of the Machina War, and I'm sure he would have known of or at least suspected the existence of Yu-Yevon. Being unsent, he could have easily got close enough to Sin to launch an assault on YY. Plus, he's not exactly defenseless; X-2 implies that he's a black mage.
    This is a signature.

    What i didnt get was why the monster arena guy didnt just get some of his original creations and sick them on Sin, because they are so clearly stronger. He wouldve been a hero.

    If sin uses steal on machina it would just fall apart
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    Because they would be worse. They are still Fiends. All he does is keep them under control for training.

    The idea of Sin tiptoeing up behind a machina ...

    What it comes down to though is: were the Al Bhed's machina "as powerful as the mighty aeons" as they claimed, or not. If they were, they could beat Sin the same way that Summoners did with the Final Aeon (however that was), but without Sin coming back. A big improvement.

    But at least they don't respawn after you've killed them, and if you used the Final Aeon on one of them then the Aeon wouldn't go nuts and kill the summoner either.

    My wasted 25000 Gil says otherwise.

    These alternative methods of beating Sin are very interesting ... I just don't recall Operation Mi'hen being spearheaded by Maechen and the Arena guy, closely followed by Nemesis, Neslug, Catastrophe, Shinryu, a Jumbo Flan* etc.

    (*There must always be a Jumbo Flan).

    Maybe the monster arena dude was extremely religious? :P

    Maechen knows lots of stuff happened in the world of Spira, but that doesn't mean he knows everything. It seems the things that he talks about is general information of what happened and what he saw for all these 2002 years. He couldn't have known if lord Mika was an unsent, right? It seems only when the unsent show themselves, you can see them. Just like Auron and more. Unless you're a guado of course

    And that guy from the monster arena...Those are fiends that Sin can control them. These powerful friends can turn against Tidus and co

    Well, just think - if it DID work, how disapointed would we all be?

    I think that if they used Vegnagun it might just have worked, because in FFX-2 Vegnagun has the power to destroy all of Spira with one attack! So if they used Vegnagun then yes Sin would have been owned! lol

    It would work - in theory.
    I don't doubt that lots of machina could've destroyed Sin, but it'd take *lots* of machina, and this only to destroy Sin's barrier.
    And then they'd have to deal with the undead city as well.

    ...but it is theoretically possible; they just have to use enough machina.

    "Really? So how do you turn off the internet?"

    Think about it.
