Just give it a TRY damn it!

[Crop]

So, why the heck didn't Yevon use Vegnagun against Sin...in 1000 years no one thought "Ok fine, let's just give it a go, what's the worst that could happen"?

I know they say that it can't tell friend from foe when activated, but why not just do an operation Mi'ihen style thing, and stick Vegnagun infront of Sin and turn it on. Even if it didn't win, at least they gave it a try. Even if it did win, I'm sure it would be damaged enough for the rest of the Mi'ihen troops to destroy it.

So, thoughts on why no genius even thunk of the plan?

Because it would've destroyed the whole smurfing planet along with Sin.

I dunno...he was a bit of a wimp when I faced him in X-2. I don't think he was so tough.

[PuPu]

But he was still tough enough to destroy Spira. If you didn't kill Vegnagun within a certain time limit, Shuyin would fire Vegnagun's cannon and destroy Spira.

[Hollycat]

Because yevon cant see too well

But why did it take so long? It spends half the game activated, they'd only need it for one battle. Also, wasn't that only because Shuyin was in control? They should just put some Yevon Shmuck at the controles then.

...?

It spends half the game activated

The final battle isn't half the game.

Also, wasn't that only because Shuyin was in control? They should just put some Yevon Shmuck at the controles then.

...it's a machine, dude. It doesn't work better just because Shuyin's the one controlling it.

I think Crop meant, wasn't Vegnagun only a threat to Spira because Shuyin was using it? If some Yevon guy was on it, he obviously wouldn't have shot at Spira, just Sin.

Besides, Yevon was pretty happy with having Sin around. They wanted to keep their hold over the people; restricting their use of machina and forcing the belief that Sin was divine punishment for using them in the past down the people's throats. Operation Mi'ihen was a big sham to earn them fake cred and make it look like they were trying to rid Spira of Sin, but it's really the last thing they wanted.

[PuPu]

If some Yevon guy was on it, he obviously wouldn't have shot at Spira, just Sin.

...which wouldn't have mattered, since the cannon is still strong enough to destroy both at the same time.

[blackmage_nuke]

It couldnt have been that hard to install something to limit the power.

[Depression Moon]

That thing was buried under the Farplane for 1000 years wasn't it?
I think most people even the high ranking Yevon didn't even know about it or where it was. If you're talking about why they didn't use it back when Sin first showed up, it might've been explained in the game, I can't recall it though since it's been a good while since I played the game.

[PuPu]

If you're talking about why they didn't use it back when Sin first showed up, it might've been explained in the game,

And the reason that the game said is exactly what I said. It was too powerful and would've destroyed all of Spira along with Sin.

Solution: Fire upwards.


What? It works in DBZ. They fire planet destroying blasts all the time, it's a-okay as long as it goes to space!

[PuPu]

Solution: Fire upwards.

Kinda hard when Sin is swimming in the oceans most of the time >_>

[Goldenboko]

He flew when they did the Hymn!

Gather a smurfload of Sinspawn in the middle of Spira. This'll piss off Sin and he'll fly over looking to smurf up. Then it's Kamehame time!
