Ultimate gaming heroines #4

Yuna (Final Fantasy X)

Yuna is the main female character in the epic Final Fantasy X, she is a summoner from the small island of Besaid who must go on a pilgrimage to Zanarkand whilst collecting aeons to be able to beat Sin, a punishment sent by the Gods to eternally punish people for the misuse of machin, or so we think

She builds a relationship with the main male character Tidus through out the story as she looks after him when he's believed to be effected by toxin when one day he appears washed up on a beach in Besaid island and joins Yuna on her pilgrimage.

She is brave as well as compassionate throughout her journey , I can't tell you to much without giving any spoilers, but you really need to play this game if you haven't done so already- there is also a sequel to the game in which Yuna takes the main role as she hunts for spheres.

Heroine rating 4/5

Yuna is a really kind and compassionate character on the whole and really provides a lot of emotion into Final Fantasy X, overall she's definetely one of the biggest female characters in the RPG genre.

Yuna is cool

Nice choice. I actually never got around to beating FFX, but I know I'm kinda close to the end (I think). I never got X-2, and I don't really plan on it .

Yuna is flippin awesome!

Nice Choice there are many good heroines' in games and there needs to be more what I liked about Yuna is she was not afraid to die when it came to saving the world but when it came to sacrificing her other allies in order to bring the calm she was determined to stop it by finding another method execellent choice I will look foward to seeing the other characters. I see Half-minute Hero on your rating list how is it, I downloaded the demo and thought that it was fun, yet I also didn't know what to quite think LOL

She was a good character in X, but X-2 changed her a bit too much.

...I did not like Yuna. At all. I think her voice actress had a lot to do with that. After that scene with her "laughing" on the balcony with Tidus, I just couldn't stomach her anymore.

I am a fan of FFX and of Yuna...but as said above that scene with the laughing is one of the worst scenes I've ever seen in a video game. It definitely made me temporarily dislike Yuna (as well as make me hate Tidus even more)

@TeenGamer92 - X-2 isn't a bad game, it's just a bit cringey at times..

@MegandDia128 - thanks! I agree, you should definetely try and get half minute hero.. it's a lot deeper than you think.. @Aidan129 @HollywoodRPG- yeah.. the laughing scene is pretty terrible.. but after that her voice acting does pick up a bit dosen't it?
Posted 11/08/2009 3:28am
I'll admit, the voice acting did get a *little* better as the game progressed. But I still didn't like her.

good choice
Posted 11/08/2009 11:38am
Totally agree
Definitely one of my favorite games
But like riou7 said, not in FFX-2 LOOOL
Posted 11/08/2009 10:53pm
Not a FF fan but I've seen her in action, She is one pretty protagonist.....
Posted 11/09/2009 8:41am
N8A
She whines a great deal, but for the most part she has her heart in the right place.
Posted 11/09/2009 6:50pm
Couldn't have said it better N8A

hey summons rock

Yuna is a fine choice. I agree that she changed a bit too drastically in X-2, but I still enjoyed the game. FFX-2 was a competent and enjoyable RPG in its own right, but FFX was leagues better.

It's been way too long since I've played FFX though, and I hardly remember that infamous laughing scene...
