    I thought the canon answer was because she just wanted to have fun.

    Seriously, Leblanc is like 5

    That whole villain dynamic is Final Fantasy's version of Team Rocket. I was just waiting for them to say, "Prepare for trouble!"

    "And make it double."

    It goes by pretty quick. No wonder I never caught it before.

    Yeah. It's a shame that we as players didn't get some cut of her concert takings

    There you can see the ? at around 1:35.
    Very well spotted. Never noticed that!

    Still doesnt explain why she looks like Yuna though

    I think it's because they didn't want to spend time making a high-res model of someone who looked like a mix of leblanc and yuna, and just reused the existing yuna model.

    Life is full of mysteries.

    I for one wish to examine the plotholes and inconsistencies with Cloud crossdressing. Now he's very pretty in Advent Children but in FFVII Cloud seemed pretty masculine so I have no idea how anyone was fooled. The goons you get stuck with if you don't "win" even comment on how ripped he is.

    And what was up with Zell's hoverboard? It was never seen again.

    I did notice the question mark! And yeah I always wondered about this but I figured it was for drama sake and the whole game doesn't take itself the most seriously so I didn't care so much

    Have you seen what makeup can do?

    Later on Yuna assumes the look of Lenne, iirc. Maybe there's ~something~ going on. Nothing that ever gets an explanation, of course.

    It's not explained, but I don't care because I'm busying listening to cheesy J-pop and seeing Rikku and Paine kick the crap out of guards.

    That's it. That's the game.
