Topic	Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters Special Edition: Day 8 [smfffc]
LeonhartFour 07/15/18 12:42:47 AM #71:	8. Auron (Final Fantasy X) The Good: Auron set the standard for being cool in the Final Fantasy series. He has one of the best designs, and hes a fount of excellent quotes and one-liners. He has a lot of really cool-looking and powerful moves, including one that can literally eject really big monsters from battle in one shot. He has a reputation of being Spiras legendary guardian, and he exudes this aura of mystery about him. While that sounds like a bunch of clichs, I dont particularly care because its executed extremely well. Clichs exist for a reason, after all, and Auron is perhaps the best of that archetype Ive encountered in a video game. Plus, theres a lot more to him than what you see on the surface. Hes so great. The Bad: While Auron is really useful in battle at first because of his piercing weapons and various breaks and stuff, but I feel like those things gradually become less and less useful as the game goes along. Plus, his Overdrives get outclassed by about half the characters and arent particularly useful against tough bosses. Hes still a great damage dealer throughout and hes great for tanking damage with Sentinel, so its not like he becomes useless or anything, but his special abilities arent as good as many of the other characters abilities. The Best: Auron is at his best in Zanarkand because he finally drops the veil of mystery and starts revealing the truth to the party and his own personal feelings. He has that quote before the Yunalesca fight that hes probably most well-known for, but he has several moments like that throughout Zanarkand. You start seeing the intricacies of his relationship with Tidus, Jecht, and Braska, and you see what really motivated him this time around, including a lot of personal regret. Probably my favorite Auron quote is right when you first get to Zanarkand (and its a noticeable shift in tone for him): Legendary guardian? I was just a boy. A boy about your age, actually. I wanted to change the world, too. But I changed nothing. That is my story. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq <cite>LeonhartFour posted [p:905097979] in Save My Fa...
