Yay, depressing chapters! xD
But I've always loved Yuna's jewelry!! The necklace is so
gorgeous. It's been sort of a headcanon of mine that it was a
gift from her parents... and in a way sort of represents their
family, with the 2 petals being them and her the large flower.
Her name means hibiscus in Japanese, too, so I think it has a
lot of symbolism, hehe. REGARDLESS, it's a beautiful necklace!!
I want to get one, but I'm afraid I'd never wear it because it's
so delicate, haha. I have Tidus' necklace which I wear sometimes
if I feel particularly nerdy that day. xD

Furthermore, the aquamarine stone in its centre has a deep
signification !
Anyway, maybe you'll have something to read tonight, I'm quite
full of spirit right now... ;D

You're welcome ! Well, there are 34 chapters so something like
22 remaining chapters. But I think it's better to look at the
number of remaining pages which is approximately 150. I
translated 120 pages approximately until now.
CrystalOfLies : you fixed a sentence here : " “Be quiet!” Valm
intimidated them " but I think you're wrong, I used initially
the verb "intimate" which means "to tell with authority" like a
call to order. the verb "intimidate" doesn't really have the
same meaning, am I right ? And isn't it odd to use "intimidate"
in this case ? I don't think it makes sense in terms of grammar
?

Hiya!
I have been reading the translation since Chapter 1 and this
last one left me so intrigued that I have to ask this!
Is the "Mage of Zanarkand" actually Yu Yevon?
It is mentioned in the book that "the Mage of Zanarkand, his
daughter and his followers" are heretics and such... Does this
mean the the Mage is Yu Yevon and his daughter Yunalesca? They
were summoners, after all, and Yu Yevon was said to be peerless
in that he was extremely powerful, moreso than the other
summoners.
Another thing that ground my gears is the fact that, in this
book, Bevelle seems to be using summoners whilst Zanarkand is
using weapons. Wasn't it the other way around as stated in the
games? Bahamut's fayth said that the summoners of Zanarkand
didn't stand a chance against Bevelle's weapons, that's why Yu
Yevon created that multitude of the fayth and summoned Zanarkand
anew before creating Sin, destroying the original Zanarkand and
browbeating Bevelle into spreading his teachings. Unless the
Bedohls created weapons so powerful that they overpowered
Zanarkand's? It's so confusing. :-\
Does this also mean that Zanarkand created fayth the way we see
them in FFX, since Yunalesca used Zaon to create his fayth that
way, whilst Bevelle used aeon cores, like Ifarnal, Kush and the
other summoners? Is that why the aeon core method practically
vanished from history after the Machina War?
I liked this book! :)
Until now, it has nothing of the BS people had been saying, and
it has raised a few questions that I'm making now!
Unfortunately, we're not having FFX-3 so soon.. :( Bummer.

I believe realistically, both Bevelle and Zanarkand would have
weapons, since Zanarkand was a flourishing machina city; it
wouldn't make sense for them to just use magic and summoners
when they are also very technologically advanced.
However, Bevelle had the Bedohls, which could potentially be
very dangerous suits of armour. They probably had the power to
fight and create even more dangerous weapons, since these are
pretty much the ancestors of the Al Bhed, which are machina
whizzes.

Does this mean that Bevelle's weapons were similar to those used
on Operation Mi'ihen and Home?
The Bedohls' creator, Alb, didn't seem to have any qualms on how
they were used as tools of war; it seems really unfair that they
apparently took the blame for the war and were considered
outcasts, thus all the preconception regarding the Al Bhed seen
on FFX.
It also seemed for me that Alb tricked everyone into thinking
they were robots, when they were actually genetically-engineered
(right?) humans operating machines. Why was this? Just because
he was a sadist? Or did he have any ulterior motives?

Know that Alb is just the name of a divinity. In fact, Alb is
the divinity of workers. So the Alb who lived in the base is not
the creator of the Bedohls. He just took on its name as others
could do. The Bedohls are a race which "developped" in society
thanks to their gift in the field of mechanics (explosive for
example. Bria says it to Tidus at the end of the novel).
But they were forced to do that else they were killed. So
Zanarkand or any government could use them to build machines or
weapons for example.
In the case of the base in Besaid, the Alb there was apparently
the one forced. He had to create mechanical Bedohls but for a
reason I don't know, he couldn't do it and tried to run away.
But you have a point about the fact that Alb could have tricked
the Bedohls in a weird way because they were moving on their own
very strangely just before Alb ran away...
Also, I think some of you have misunderstood the origin of the
name "Al Bhed". It comes from the DIVINITY "Alb" and the race
"Bedohl". I might have said something wrong in the file "1000
years ago" about this point... sorry.

Oh, I see.
But Valm seemed to think the Bedohls were just robots, when they
were in fact humans. It's shown when he cuts a Bedohl's hand off
and it starts gushing blood, he says it's "too realistic" and
asked him to remove the blood or change its color. So, since Alb
couldn't create mechanical Bedohls properly, he just spread the
word that the human Bedohls were mechanical and was just
teaching them how to fight and sent them to the front lines. So
when Valm entered Alb's workshop and saw the Bedohls helping
their injured comrades, he realized that they were actually
human and that there were actually much fewer robots than Alb
claimed there were. This could explain why Valm pitied them,
even though he hated their guts.
EDIT: May I translate the novel to Portuguese? I own a FF
Facebook page for my fellow Brazilian fans and, considering I'm
responsible for lore and theory content, I feel like bringing
this sort of content to them is constructive to the fanbase.
I'll give due credit, of course. :)
