anyway Yuna is lowkey about it and very sweet and gentle but also: she is on this trip against the advice/pleading/possibly attempted physical force of everyone who loves her
it's not "group of friends/family saves the world", it's "Yuna insists on saving the world, friends/family decide to have as much time with her as possible"
Auron isn't wrong when he describes her as "naive, serious to a fault, and doesn't ask for help," but he's also very much seeing/describing her as a mirror of his own younger self
...I'm still not sure why she thought "I'll let you fuck marry me, if you turn yourself in for patricide, a crime traditionally punished most highly of all," would work
Sin is dead, so she should be happy! and relaxed! and having fun! and definitely not mourning her boyfriend ha ha what are you talking about everything is Fine now
very much love the "yuna insists on saving the world, her friends/family go along to spend more time with her" because it's very true obviously but also a very very good way to word it it i think
also "X-2 is good becasue yuna's just trying to figure out what hte fuck she's doing" is also very good take (i know nothing about X-2 except superficially tho lol)
I mean, I also 100% get the desire to bring Tidus back; I always thought he was going to come back after the end of X because, like with the Velveteen Rabbit, "real is a thing that happens to you"
but what I've got going on with Tear is the contrast between the way she presents herself/is initially presented by the narrative, and the fact that she is MAXIMUM SIXTEEN YEARS OLD, THAT IS A FUCKING INFANT
like, her issues w the Score can read as lukewarm (hah) compared to the people going "fuck the Score as a concept", but like...she's deprogramming herself from an Extreme Learned Helplessness cult
(the existence of religious freedom, as in "you cannot be arrested for being non-Christian, they have to pretend there's another reason," for one thing)
and besides that, she knows only a little more about the world outside Yulia and Daath than Luke - she's better-read, and because she's not a rich noble she has learned about things like "buying"
