What I Do, I Do With No Regrets.
My goodness, has Yuna overtaken Auron as my favourite Final Fantasy X character? I didn't realise until just now, when I was pondering who my favourite character of the entire Final Fantasy series might be and my first thought was 'Perhaps Yuna?'
I'm sorry, Auron; you are awesome, but if Yuna is a candidate for Favourite Final Fantasy Character Of All Time and you're not I don't think you can be my favourite character in Final Fantasy X.
It is difficult to illustrate Yuna's amazingness with clips, because it really comes through in the entire story of Final Fantasy X: her bravery, her determination and her head-held-high approach to her destiny. Still, to celebrate Yuna, who is wonderful and so strong and almost certainly one of my top three female characters (probably along with Donna Noble of Doctor Who and Toph of Avatar), here is a (four-minute) video of her singing in Final Fantasy X-2 (a game I quite liked, so there), because it's pretty. And, because I sincerely doubt the song will be to everyone's taste, here, from Final Fantasy X, is a (rather spoilery) thirty-second clip of her effecting what is probably the coolest exit I have ever seen.
(In case anyone unfamiliar with Final Fantasy X-2 watches the first video: you may be confused when Yuna transforms into someone else mid-song. This is - I swear I am not making this up - because her clothes are possessed.)
Whilst I'm linking to Final Fantasy clips, here is one of my favourite videogame moments: Squall and Rinoa's first meeting, from Final Fantasy VIII. Rinoa wants Squall to dance with her. Squall cannot dance at all. His rubbishness is glorious to behold. (Two minutes long.)
And, hey, here is my favourite moment from Kingdom Hearts II, in which Belle of Beauty and the Beast is awesome. BELLE IS NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH YOUR SILLY HOSTAGE SITUATION. (Less than a minute.)
For those of you who aren't interested in videogames: firstly, watch the Final Fantasy VIII clip anyway, because it's adorable. Secondly, try singing the theme to 'Bananas in Pyjamas' (the lyrics, I believe, are 'Bananas in pyjamas are coming down the stairs/Bananas in pyjamas are coming down in pairs/Bananas in pyjamas are chasing teddy bears/'Cause on Tuesdays they all try to catch them unawares') to the tune of 'I Vow to Thee, My Country'. It works alarmingly well.
Also, have a confusing quote from my notebook:
Why did the unicorn sparkle? It was a creature of such purity and innocence. Edward's sparkles foretold only death.
What we can conclude from this is that I should not be allowed to talk to reipan.
