Final Fantasy X: The Worst Mothers Edition

[Depression Moon]

So he was probably exaggerating about his mother too.

[Skyblade]

We see a flashback, it's canon enough. There's no reason to think the flashbacks are unfair or warped.

Actually, there is. A lot of the flashbacks are warped distorted. Or not even flashbacks, but dreams/imaginings. Such as the whole Yuna/Rikku one that Jecht interrupts early on. All that the flashback really gives us is how Tidus perceived the events, not necessarily how they actually happened.

The only logical evidence shows that his mom wasn't a very good mom.
Anything else is just the realm of fan-fiction.

That dream sequence is the only one like it in the entire game. The other flashbacks he has of Jecht are:

1. Calling him out on his drinking - Auron confirms Jecht was indeed an alcoholic
2. Jecht telling him he couldn't do the Jecht Shot and laughing at him.

I see no reason to doubt 2 at all.

So he was probably exaggerating about his mother too.

So you're saying the entire revelation that his daddy issues are really mommy issues is wrong? The point is proven enough when she chooses to DIE rather than live on with her son. The woman was hopelessly dependent on Jecht and loved him much more than her own child. The revelation on The Farplane confirms this even more.

And she turned into an ugly fish.
