    Default The Yu Pagodas

    Ok, when fighting Jecht, the Aeons, and Yu Yevon himself, there are these Yu Pagodas. But, what do they do, besides heal Yu Yevon? Do they have some sort of significance or symbolism?

    Just wondering

    I don't think they serve a purpose...

    They rotate.

    Although, if memory serves, the rotating sections line up right before the end of the battle.

    Yeah, I know. They encase Yu Yevon, and vaporize. But that really doesn't mean anything. I just want to know of they symbolize anything.

    I think they help, eg heal and stuff, the enemy during the fights, but my fights have never lasted long enough to see this actually happen...

    Pagodas are religious structures that contain shrines or memorials. Maybe they memorialize Yevon's memories of Zanarkand?

    Maybe they represent that Yu Yevon is as a God?

    That's probably most likely. Maybe Future Esthar could make a theory about this.

    I'll Wiki it!

    D'oh!

    This is off topic but I just remembered that in FFVII you fight Goda at the top of a Pagoda. I never noticed a (tenuous) connection until now.

    I believe that they're just Yevon's energy source, that's why they're healing him all the time!

    is there anibody out there?

    They can only heal Yu-Yevon if both of them are "alive" if one of them in incapasatated then the other will attack you

    They symbolize extreme anoyance.
