    It's generally agreed upon that Penance represents the penance that the party must pay for betraying Yevon.

    Other than that, it's a Deus Ex manifestation of the most difficult or highest hit-pointed boss.

    But if you ask me, I think it's because Japan is fed up with the United States and screwed us over.

    penance is ther so that you can kick it's ass and feel damn good about it!!! just in case whooping nemesis and all the dark aeons isn't good enough for you!!!

    i think square added it to compensate for the wait that USA and europe had to endure before getting the game. . . . maybe

    Why do you imprison your saviour?

    Penance can suck my..... you get the point

    personally, i think its just a test put in there by the developers to see who has the patience to train up enough to kick its ass, and the skill to boot. there can be heaps of opinions, but only the developers could give a definative ans.

    I had a theory that Penance is the manifestation of the spirits of all of the Dark Aeons that you defeat on the way to him. Note that despite Penance obviously being Machina in apperance he is very much a living creature since he releases pyreflies upon being killed.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Penance is Square's reward for making non-Americans wait for FFX.
    This is a signature.

    Exactly. Which is why I'm hoping for some extra goodies in FFXII.

    Penance is there becuase he is Yu Yevon's counterpart holding the thread of Spira in one piece. Originally though to be the Omega MK.II, it was what had brought Sin to life and Sin had destroyed the Spira for releasing such a demon. Though the idea may sound wierd, don't think of me as an idiot. I spent alot of researching this very idea and put all the info together.
    There;s always more than one, even if the odds are against you you, just fight it. Redemption shall always conquer the fiends of Sin.

    Even though i dont have the international version. I think that Pennace is supossed to be the Final Aeon. Seeing how much harder it is from any other boss and the fact that u have to fight dark aeons in order to unlock him.

    Braska's Final Aeon is the current Final Aeon. As explained in the game, the Final Aeon is possessed by Yu Yevon. Thus the need to journe6y and pilgrimage every single time.
