Final Fantasy X: Difference between revisions

* [[Kid with the Leash]]: Although a bit older than most, the summoning animations put a lot of emphasis on Yuna's role as this, often with her stroking or petting the monstrous Aeon before sending it into battle. The animation for Ixion has her literally using a bolt of lightning as a leash to pull Ixion out of a portal, and she hugs Valefor lovingly around the neck and pets her beak before sending her into battle. Some of the Aeons subvert this: Bahamut is so badass that he doesn't ''need'' to be petted (instead only forcing Yuna to stumble as he lands on the ground), and Anima's emergence cuts to Yuna with a "Did I really want to to do this?" look on her face.

* [[Knight Templar]]: Maester Mika seems to carry out this trope. At a couple of different points, Auron mentions that Mika and Seymour are "not of one mind", and Mika would not approve of Seymour wanting to {{spoiler|destroy the whole world}}. In his conversation with the party right before he {{spoiler|sends himself}}, Mika states that he doesn't want to see Spira destroyed by Sin, and genuinely thinks that there's no other way to stop it than sending summoners on their pilgrimages to bring about the Calm. The problem though is the means he and the rest of the church use to enforce the status quo, such as {{spoiler|lies, forced marriages and murder}}.

* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: Some versions of the manual that comes with the game feature advertisements for ''Final Fantasy X-2'', including Yuna. Kinda makes the revelation {{spoiler|she's expected to sacrifice herself to destroy Sin}} a bit hollow.

* [[Letter Motif]]
