Whether one has noticed or not, there are hundreds of fan made tributes from everything from baked beans to fictional characters. The Final Fantasy series is no exception and like thousands of popular games and characters, there are tributes for Yuna, Tidus and so on. Please don't think that I'm biased, there are just as many tributes for other characters of equally popular games such as Cloud from Final Fantasy VII or Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Series, perhaps more.
The point is there are these tributes made by fans of Final Fantasy X and X-2. These tributes can be from a range of different things from cosplay, posters, fan fiction, reenactments, duplications of characters on ohter games (Second Life amongst others), videos, letters and so on. What I thought I focus on though is video tributes, there are many video tributes for Yuna and Tidus (on youtube for example) where videos from Final Fantasy X and X-2 are created together with a song that is not from the referring games. For example: one can find a tribute to The Spring/Yuna's and Tidus' love scene from Final Fantasy X with "Hero" from Enrique Iglesias. There are tributes which use different songs from the singer Jade "Valerie" "Villalon who sung "Real Emotion" and "1000 Words" for Final Fantasy X-2.
Now I'm not one to condemn anyone's efforts whether it be a tribute or a parody. I truly appreciate that Final Fantasy X and X-2 are popular among fans and their efforts and devotion. This Final Fantasy X-3 project is a sign of my passion and devotion for Final Fantasy X and X-2, as well as the posters in my room. If I had the patience or time to create my own tribute video, I would do so but I'll think I'll stick to writing fan fiction for Final Fantasy X-3 since I'm so deep and devoted to the cause. That said it hasn't stopped me from wondering about the possible tributes made if my concept of Final Fantasy X-3 were made into an offical and A+ game.
In "The Final Chapters", there is a developing situation where Yuna's and Tidus' relationship falls apart. Tidus believes he has hurt Yuna and broken Yuna's heart once more and falls apart when left alone on 60th floor of Yadokoni Tower. Tidus feels weak and lost without Yuna and wishes he can amend their torn relationship. Of course Yuna and Tidus do pull through and their relationship was never in doubt but in the meantime Tidus feels accountable and wants to apoligise to Yuna for their dermise.
Now I don't envision Tidus singing like Yuna does (unless Square Enix are to think differently (please don't!)) but an idea for a video tribute can be made for this scene. I've been listening to "Lucy" from Hypnogaja and envisioning Tidus falling apart over the grief he thinks he has caused Yuna. If the lyrics "Lucy" were replaced with "Yuna", it would make sense. I'm not suggesting Hypnogaja or James Arnold Taylor (the English voice for Tidus) makes an edit for Final Fantasy X-3 "The Final Chapters"but in the same way that tributes are made using songs that relate to the given scene(s) from Final Fantasy X and X-2, a tribute like the one stated above could be possible (if Square Enixx were to make Final Fantasy X-3 into a game based on my fan fiction). If my fan fiction were to be made into an A+ game, the amount of tributes for the compilation (series) of Final Fantasy X would rise due to the raise of fans.
If you think i'm being mad or delusional about this or anything regarding my fan fiction of Final Fantasy X-3 then you have the right to say so or comment. I'm open to feedback and suggestions. Unless I have any other spontaneous moments or thoughts which I feel I should address to readers and followers, I'll be back with an update on "The Final Chapters" in March. Until then, see ya!

"Lenne's and Shuyin's Story" January 2011 update
The first (1st) month of 2011 has now past but certainly not forgotten. Mainly because of the development of "Lenne's and Shuyin's Story" which is great but also because of personal dilemmas which are bad. But then this blog isn't about my personal life (trust me nothing exciting really happens) so enough with the excuses!
Upon inspection I decided to designate all 2011 entries of "Lenne's and Shuyin's Story" to a seperate folder so it will be easier to find an entry with a specific date. The previous setup includes the storing of all the entries I had done for "Lenne's and Shuyin's Story" in 2009 and 2010. That's 194 entries accourding to the laptop from 2009 to 2010. Bearing this in mind that I am after just the most up to date entry among the 194 entries so I can continue development can be difficault at first when each entry has the same title with a different date. Not that I've ever had any difficaulty with the system but others may well do so with the new folder setup, its easier to find the latest entry and keep the folder easier to navigate and tidier.
As for the development of "Lenne's and Shuyin's Story", I have rewritten and expanded the scenes where Shuyin is trying to find his way through the Bevelle Underground and the scenes unfolding in Zanarkand involving Lenne in the meantime. One thing I do find is when I return to what I've written is how daft and in poor grammer the existing text and dialogue is. When Yu Yevon is adressing the armed forces and residents of Zanarkand after his return from Bevelle with Yunalesca and Shuyin (who doesn't return) for example, the dialogue implies his unsympathetic attitude to the drastic measures the Machina War has resulted in. That's fine for a tyrant which Yu Yevon kind of is but it didn't make much sense when he is trying to encourage and talk "effective strategy" to the disheartened and desperate audiance. With a few tweaks however Yu Yevon expresses a more human and understandable side which is frieghtening but also alluring to the audience making it easier to encourage the audience. Of course it doesn't take long or much for the familar tyrant part of Yu Yevon to terrorise the audience.
There has also been changes and implentation of Yunalesca's actions and dialogue which expresses a much more human personality compared to her father Yu Yevon and the friendship and respect between Yunalesca and Lenne.
There's a few hints of the developments undertaken to take away. With Febuary here, the development of "The Final Chapters" resumes. I'll return to the blog in March so until then, see ya!
