Her baby may have changed her behaviour, no ? And since Wakka
doesn't help with the "safety" of the baby...

I noticed that Rikku was a bit out-of-the-loop as well. Sure,
she's teasing and playful to Tidus most of the time, but in her
introduction it's implied that she doesn't think Tidus deserves
any respect for being one of Yuna's closest guardians. And
what's with her random angry outbursts, especially at the end? I
think it's supposed to further show that Tidus feels isolated
from Spira because of his absence, but they were close friends
during X. You'd think Rikku would be more happy to see him.

Well, Rikku is happy to see him, but Tidus does not really care
about her and her histories, so if I was her I would have
reacted the same way...

Good points kk, that's the gist of what I'm saying too. Her
personality can be short and bossy, but she was only downright
mean and bully-like in the very begining of FFX, which she
clearly softened throughout the game. You'd think after all
Yuna's done, she'd be respectful of her instead of controlling
(she had no problem with Yuna traveling the world in X-2, but
now she treats her like a child locked in her room)
Her comment toward Tidus about her relationship with Wakka "it's
nothing extraordinary and honestly sometiimes I think I've had
enough" made me cringe. It's just a nasty thing to say even when
someone is currently annoying you. After all they've been
through and the fact that the last we saw of them in X-2 was
happy and sitting by a fire.... Unless the writer has someone
saying in the book "Oh man, Lulu's been so mean and nasty since
the baby's been born, but she has post partum depression and
will snap out of it soon!" Then I'd be more forgiving. But
according to this novel, she's on her way to being single and
friendless.

Oh man, a subplot in X-3 is gonna be Lulu and Wakka's divorce,
isn't it?
And then you have to choose early on whom to give custody of
Vidina to, and only 1 answer will get you 100% in the end.
But seriously, Lulu seems to have become very rude post-X-2.
It's not blatant, but it's definitely hidden under there. You
see more of that with her insensitivity towards Tidus at the end
of Will, and she did seem to get on Chuami's nerves (though that
can apply with nearly everyone).

Chapter 4 Mission Objective: Can you stop Wakka from putting his
foot down?
Yeah, she even called Tidus' actions pathetic. I mean come on,
no one's perfect. He's a nice guy who's trying to do the right
thing (same can be said for Wakka) You know, the character Donna
is kind of the same now that I think about it. "I'm really mean
and everyone annoys me! (but I really care!)" "Bartello is such
an idiot, I can't stand him! (but I really love him!) Even
Chuami seems to have a similar personality. It's the kind of
bi-polar behavior that I thought Lulu grew out of though..

Personally, I think that the putdowns can mostly be described as
just her humor/personality. Her and Wakka just have a weird
relationship like that, imo. Kind of like the bumbling sitcom
husband and his nagging wife. :p I feel like that's what the
writers are going for, haha!
But her behavior WAS in fact changed by the baby,
ChercheurObscur, but in the total opposite direction of this
novel. In X-2, she's softened. There's an entire scene where she
is nice and romantic with Wakka the ENTIRE TIME. Even admits out
loud that she relies on him and trusts him!!! Very different
than the Lulu we're used to, but I think it was growth based on
the fact that the Calm has come and now she can let her guard
down, emotionally and otherwise. She is able to love without
fear of Sin taking those she loves from her. She can even have a
child without fear of it being killed by Sin. So, she seemed
much more at peace in X-2.
But in the novel, she seems to have regressed, based on this
chapter, anyway. More relevant to our complaints, when Yuna
returns to Besaid, Lulu just sort of jokes about how Yuna can
"spread her wings", now that Lulu isn't there. No scolding. No
yelling at. No "why are you wearing that"/"what are you
doing"/"think of your IMAGE, yuna!!" I always took this to mean
that Lulu was beginning to let Yuna grow into her own person.
She was glad that Yuna was spreading her wings, and doing what
she wanted to do, without fear of consequences. Because why
wouldn't Lulu be? Lulu loves Yuna. She would want Yuna to be
happy, wouldn't she? Even if that meant sacrificing her image or
respect of the Besaid elders. S
It seems like regression of her character to make her suddenly
be bossy and controlling of Yuna again, like Yuna is a little
kid incapable of deciding for herself how she wants to handle
her own affairs. It would have been one thing for Lulu to give
Tidus a word of caution. That would make sense. But no-- she
straight up gave him ORDERS on how to treat Yuna. That seems...
meh. Like I said, character development regression.
I'm worried they are doing this to Yuna (regression of her
growth), too, but I'm reserving my judgement until I read more
of the book! She's barely been in one chapter. More on that
later, maybe-- but hopefully not! Hopefully my feeling is wrong.
xD
Rikku, on the other hand... I understand when she bursts about
Tidus not listening. I can see RIkku being like "hey, I am the
greatest storyteller ever and these are the most exciting
awesome tales of all time, you should be grateful I'm even
sharing them with you, why aren't you listening to me?!" and
getting mad at him for being distracted. xD BUT... why the heck
would she leave the party?! Rikku loves parties and
gatherings!!!! She doesn't want to be at the banquet???? That's
just weird and seems like an excuse for the writers to shoo her
off to another place. Maybe she was trying to give Yuna and
tidus privacy, but for one, they aren't getting any in the first
place, and two, since when is Rikku considerate of that? l o l
And I thought her outburst about the Fayth that drew all the
villagers attention was just weird??? But I'm guessing it wasn't
supposed to be ANGRY, just passionate. If so, that makes sense,
I guess... she's just trying to make sure that Tidus recognizes
how much Yuna went through to get him back. They DID have their
moments of teasing and joking around together like the friends
they were in X, so that made me happy!

Chapter 2 is coming ! CrystalOfLies is fixing and rephrasing it.

So it seems things are getting interesting! After a discouraging
and hungry match of half-blitz, Tidus meets the ever-mysterious
Briah and they form an equally-as-mysterious friendship.
However, it doesn't help that Yuna is still being held captive
by the village elders.
I wonder: Why does Briah seem so interested in where Tidus came
from? Guess we'll find out later in the novel. Or in FFX-3. If
it ever comes to.

"He headed for the temple and filled his lungs with the familiar
perfume, mixed with the smell of the damp stones that the
building was releasing. He was happily reminded of his era of
childhood.
A gift of Yevon..."
I'm confused at what this part means. He (Tidus?) was reminded
of his childhood because of the temple? That seems odd... there
doesn't seem to have been any temples in Dream Zanarkand. Maybe
just because of the Fayth?
What is a gift of Yevon? Him, a dream? His childhood: i.e. dream
Zanarkand? Something in the temple? Yuna? Is it purposely
mysterious or am I missing something? xD
