Summoner Yuna or Gunner Yuna???

[skatehippie]

Before I discuss Yuna, I'd like to address one issue about the guns...

I'm confused about how the hell they actually work...
In battle you can get shot and survive, but in FMV's and such, guns are as dangerous as they are in reality? I guess they're magically weakened when in battle...

And as for Yuna...I like the clothes and stuff. It's called character development. She's still frail, still innocent, but at least she don't dress like an old lady.

And her using guns...very unrealistic. You're telling me that in two years she developed the skill that takes some people a lfetime to achieve? She's a perfect shot, and has many abilities beyond that...it just doesn't make much sense. But as always with FF or rpg's...magic is the universal explanation. *sigh*

Well, it's a fantasy story, and fantasy stories don't have to be 100% realistic. Whether it's with the characters, or with the story, or with anything else.

[Silmaril]

if it did make sense and was realistic, it would get a bit.......boring.
imagine if a game was released where we had to teach those characters their skills and techniques realistically. how much time would that take?

What Yuna wasn't weak as Summoner. Her summons were the most powerful in any game if you got everyones ultimate weapon which made the summons do 999999 damage plus. I also got Yuna every ability in game and she did more damage than anyone with blm or ulitma as whm. Sorry to say I don't like Gunner Yuna. Yeah she is hotter. But not as deadly as summoner.
I like the seriousness of FF10. FF10-2 is decent game but too much Charlie Angels vice a fantasy game. FF10 is superior to FF10-2

I can't pick a stronger suit for her, so I would have to say both. Each fit her character based on which game you play. She's down to earth and somewhat timid (I guess) in X, so something along that dress was appropriate.

On the other hand, she gains a sense of adventure while travelling with Paine in X 2, so her newfound sense suits her well in the short skirt. She looks a little too provocative, yet she still has a sense of dignity about her.

Yuna wasn't exactly covered up in her Summoner outfit you know.

This being said, I'll take Anima, the Magus Sisters, and Bahamut over guns any day.

I think Yuna is hot...she's very good looking, as a Gunner in X-2.

And her using guns...very unrealistic. You're telling me that in two years she developed the skill that takes some people a lfetime to achieve? She's a perfect shot, and has many abilities beyond that...it just doesn't make much sense. But as always with FF or rpg's...magic is the universal explanation. *sigh*

yeah... Cuz it definitely makes more sense the way Auron handed Tidus a sword, he couldn't even hold it up, and less than twenty seconds later, he had it bouncing in one hand effortlessly, horizontal to the ground......


anyway, the Yuna thing. You cannot even begin to say that FFX yuna was better. It's like she was hauling her grandmother's dead body on her back the whole game, as solemn as she was. there a time to be solemn, but it takes a hearty person to still put up with it 50 hours later... FFX-2 is Yuna without the Sin-Stick up her butt, the REAL Yuna.

[Trumpet Thief]

Meh, I liked her better as a Summoner.

[Rinoa Heartilly]

As said earlier in this topic: I think Yuna took up her role as summoner very seriously and therefor we didn't see much of the real Yuna (in the Japanese version you would get a 'hint' at the real Yuna now and then but sadly I could not see this in the english-language version.
But the FFX-2 Yuna isn't the real Yuna either, not yet at least...as her two friends softly point out now and then: Yuna still tries to please to much, and still tries to play the 'genki' part rather than be it...Due to studies I have yet to complete FFX2 but I hope to be able to see her continue evolving, as the two aspect of Yuna 'merge', as I sometimes have the impression that they are beginning to do so.

And last I'd like to say that I believe that Yuna is not the silent girl from FFX, nor the 'sexy' girl from FFX-2...She 's a mix of the two, she is still young and has had a lot to deal with, she is growing wiser and stronger: evolving.

True to that, I mean, this is a Fantasy world, ANYTHING can happen.

On the topic of learning guns quickly,
She had time to think and maybe she is a natural at the gunning, but as a devoted yevvon she never touched one until....

[kikimm]

Even though I have a liking for anyone who uses guns in these games, I don't like Yuna as mich as in FFX. SHe's more of an amateur Rikku, IMO, and I don't like that. I like the more serious Yuna.

[Rand Al'Tor]

Ah to each their own eh... as many, I can't decide. I like the sad, melancholic Yuna, but I wouldn't have like dif she STILL was sad melancholic two years after savibg the world. She changed, as people tend to. The new outfit fits her new lease on life. A summoner's robe would be out of character for her now...

Regarding the 'where did she learn to us ethem'... well.... I understood that the Dress-Sphere's give the abilities, so without the dress-sphere, Yuna might indeed be unable to properly aim a gun...

But I'd file that under 'it's a game. Don't think about it'

[Yunaffx-2Shrine]

She looks ten times better now!!
