“I heard you were quite the crybaby,” Auron says, referring to Jecht’s comments about his son. This has always been a sticky spot in the script. Why couldn’t they have let her re-record those lines? She’s so much better when she’s not lip synching.)Īfter that, we get one of Tidus many “Hey, you” scenes in which Auron calls, “Hey, new guy” even though they’ve supposedly known each other for ten years. And “I’ll be fine, with you here” always makes me cringe. (which is very cute, but “Temple of Djooooose!” sounds very silly in English. She’s not only trying to lip synch, but to imitate Yuna’s Japanese voice in this scene. It’s all fun and angst until we hit the crossroads, where I try vainly to get a good look at writing on a marker post (DagNABBIT, why didn’t we get camera control in the remaster? Right, because game environments are designed to be seen from one side only, but it’s still bally annoying).Īnd then we get a tour guide conversation about our upcoming route enlivened by Hedy Burress’ worst voice acting. When they pass, don’t forget to turn around and check the pillar to the right:Īrgh. I’ve tried many times to intercept them to see if there’s any optional dialog, and I don’t think there is. Lucil goes dashing by on a chocobo with Elma and Clasko jogging after her on foot (!). Operation Mi’ihen was a stunning success: for the church. I guess it’s time to seek the monks’ help and embrace the teachings once again. Relying on forbidden machina… What the heck were we thinking? My comrades are dead, all because we ignored the teachings. The Crusaders all sound like this poor clod: …And yet the ordinary priests at Djose Temple probably have no idea that this whole operation was a showpiece designed to make pious Yevonites feel self-righteous, heretics feel penitent, and all of them more determined than ever to obey Church edicts. Yes, and it was also Yevon’s so-called “blessing,” represented by two maesters, that encouraged the Crusaders to take the risk. "A heartbreaking defeat, it was… Yevon’s blessing has spared us.” “As a follower of Yevon, we believe in aiding all those who are wounded. They’ve been “ordered to regroup” at Djose Temple, where the monks can graciously welcome straying lambs back into the fold.Ī priest along the way sums up the church’s position patronizingly. We’re passing the few survivors of Operation Mi’ihen: Crusaders only, no Al Bhed. I’m afraid I abandoned the project just before she and Ginnem reached the Calm Lands I have less stamina even than Wakka for pilgrimages.Įrm, anyway, back to the current pilgrimage, Yuna’s, and the Highroad. I got very fancy and worked up some photomanips to illustrate it… I reached this point in my FFX playthrough before remembering an overly-ambitious fanwork I penned back in 2007 or so, Memoirs of a Guardian, purporting to be Lulu’s recollections of her journeys (as she clearly has a tour guide disposition). …Basilisks are the fiends that keep on giving. Oh, let me sing to you the diabolical uses of Petrify Grenades, so handy in a tight spot against Bombs, Chimeras, Ochus and so many other monsters. Leaving the wreckage of Operation Mi’ihen behind us, we march up Djose Highroad, a happy place to grind if you’ve been clever enough to teach someone Steal.
