Chapter 16 up!
I have to say, Yuna's being a bit of a jerk.

Yuna's just fulfilling a jrpg trope. Now that she's more
assertive, she must also be a jerk. I never noticed tropes like
this until I played a couple of jrpgs.. Now they just stick out
like sore thumbs. :P

Hey ! Just here to say I won't be able to translate the novel
until saturday, so don't expect any progress until then :)

I do know that that happens with most of the assertive female
characters in JRPGs (heck, look at Chuami), but I feel like it's
a... little out-of-place for Yuna's character? She was still
pretty kind in X-2.
Maybe this translates to that big rumour that came out with the
novella; that Yuna was getting really annoyed at him and just
keeps on rejecting his attempts at romance. Especially her
response to their nearly drowning at the beginning of this
chapter. That was pretty mean-spirited, even for her.
Once all the novella's translated I'm probably going to write a
review on it.

Actually, I'll be busy only next week. So you'll be able to read
the 17th chapter this week.

I think her behavior is pretty out there for Yuna, but I'm
wondering if it's just lost in translation from Japanese to
English-- not that you aren't doing a great job translating, but
like, maybe the way she is speaking just doesn't translate well
over to English? Because after everything that happened in X and
after the development she goes through in X-2, I can completely
see Yuna scolding him for being careless and sacrificing his own
welfare for hers... it's just... the way she said it seems
uncharacteristically harsh. And a lot of her little remarks... I
can't tell if their teasing/joking or if she's actually annoyed.
So I wonder if she's more concerned and playful in Japanese but
when we translate it it sounds rude???
I don't know... I'm probably giving Nojima too much benefit of
the doubt. He probably just cares more about making her wear
bikinis than maintaining her character :P

It's made even worse for me; I have a hard time detecting
sarcasm, so when I'm proofreading I can't tell if she's being
playful or actually critical of him. I want to believe it's the
former, but this coupled with a lot of those Japanese reviews
complaining about Yuna's cruel nature...
I'm starting to give up with making sense out of all of this as
well. I'm like, 'Oh, but this has to have meaning, right? It has
to be part of the story, right?' but then I realised how
ridiculous and convoluted it all sounds. :P It's starting to
become less like a story and more like both Nojima wanting to
make Yuna his jerkwad, fanservice waifu; and finding a way to
kick Tidus out of the story completely.

If translation is to blame, then it would be the fault of
whoever translated this book from Japanese to French for
incorrectly relaying the mood and intention of what they're
saying. Translating from French to English wouldn't really have
this problem since both languages and the way we communicate are
very similar. ;)
I kinda read it as Yuna just being anxious about being in a
foreign land.. Idk
