I know that Sin was just armor for Yu Yevon, I just wonder who's
inside of his beckoned self and if he can hear others. Remember
when he responded to the Hymn of Fayth? Who's Cartouche btw?

Cartouche is a French who bought the novel. Read some previous
posts.
I will release Chapter 3 on friday. And just after, I will take
a break until 01/19/2015 beauce of the holidays and my exams.
EDIT : Chapter 3 is coming ! COL is fixing it ! :D

Yep, I bought the novel because I am obviously French and of
course because I love Final Fantasy X :) I added some pictures
of the book on the previous page. By the way, there are others
HERE
HTML http://bouquindugamer.blogspot.fr/2014/12/final-fantasy-x-25-le-prix-de-leternite.html,<br
/>but they do not are from me.
Furthermore, I can not upload all the content of the book, it
would take me a lot of time. I think it is better to wait the
English translation, and then it's a simpler language to
understand ! I know that ChercheurObscur and CrystalOfLies will
make the best possible translation !

A little bit on Valm's and Kushu's history this chapter.
First of all: the use of the word 'infernal'. There is a
character with a similarly-spelled name. I actually smirked at
that.
Second: We hear of an old folk tale of the Farplane: bad spirits
get sent to Hell (apparently Hell is a place in Spira) while
good spirits get turned into... flowers. Is that why we saw all
of those purple flowers in the Farplane in X-2? That's actually
kind of clever and creepy.
Third: I love how Valm has to whistle to call the Bedohls. If
you know anything about X/X-2 I'm sure you know why the
whistling part makes me feel giddy.

uuh... What do you mean here ? Hell is hell, Satan, etc... (but
your sentence may be something special in english I don't know)
Also, keep in mind the last sentences of this chapter... In the
future, you may merge them with something else... :P

Hold up...Square Enix issued an official French translation, but
not an English one? Okay then, Square, I see how it is.

Well, it's rather strange because the "Hell" that we know of has
never been mentioned in Spira. The afterlife has always been
only referred to as the Farplane, with no distinction between
good and bad, or "Heaven" and "Hell". Aside from the existence
of souls, priests, monks and such, there is no direct reference
to any of our real world folklore and religious beliefs, so it's
kind of bizarre that there' d suddenly be mention of a "Hell" at
all.
I don't even know what to make of that. It's akin to them
talking about Roman Gods and Godesses. Hell is a concept of many
religions on Earth, not in Spira. Ain't no Satan in Spira.
Until, now apparently, lmao.

Chile...It's great that you're translating but I'm not even sure
if I can read anymore of this novel stuff. I'm kind of in the
mindset of washing my hands of it all. Square done pissed me
off, they really showed some AUDACITY here, and I'm still mad.
Them editing the Last Mission stuff for example, still can't
wrap my head around that one, that really was the last straw for
me. As has been mentioned before with the novel, one of the most
frustrating things about it is the apparent regression of
character everyone's gone through. It's just a hot mess and I
don't think it will ever appear as anything remotely close to
"good" in my view. And I don't even understand the need for a
back story, I mean, who cares about the history of some dead
randoms on an island? And killing Tidus? No, babe, NO. Like KK
said, they treat their precious Cloud and Lightning like gods,
but Tidus is just a disposable joke apparently. Alright, then.
My trust in Square has diminished significantly from this fiasco
(and really, the disappointment that was FFXIII as well). They
can keep their little novel and I'm just going to pay it dust
and pretend it never existed.

Hey, Pyreflies! You're back!
I'm still pretty mad about the tsundere-like behaviour everyone
is displaying to Tidus, especially since it just seems to serve
the purpose of dealing out contrived drama, but if the rest of
the novella is anything like Che described earlier then I might
be willing to give it a second chance.
Also I noticed that Tidus seems to be a lot more angry than
usual. If it's all the stuff he's been through or if the fayth
are just really bad at reconstructing pyreflies, who knows?
And YES about the 'Tidus is the butt of Final Fantasy protags'
thing. Cloud is pretty much their mascot and I'm pretty sure
Toriyama has a shrine of Lightning built somewhere in his house.
Even Vaan gets more respect than poor Tiida. Even these new
characters in the novel have more dignity and importance than
him.

Hai Crystal! ^_^
Okay, so I read the first couple chapters, and BARELY made it
through before just skimming the third one because no, I do not
give a fawk about those other characters. ::)
But anyway, my opinion can be summoned up with a NOPE. Nope,
just no. SMH :( Ay dios mio, none of that crap made sense, it
was not enjoyable - do not want, abort mission. I'm GOOD, they
can keep that. Won't be reading further, it'll make me toss my
cookies in revulsion.
But may I just say that the imagery of a dark mass of lord knows
what extending beyond Tidus's feet in the ocean - how completely
terrifying and foreshadowing of what's to come in this dreg of a
book. That really set the tone well - the only "compliment" I'm
willing to give.
Sorry guys, you are great for translating this thing, and
ChercheurObscur - I've got mad respect for you, so sweet of you
to dedicate the time and energy to this.
But I can't be positive about it one bit. In fact, the book
itself is the antithesis of positive, which is what I WANTED
and expected, and that's why it's so devastating. If I wanted to
partake in depressing angst, I'd turn on Lifetime.
All romantic charm has been cut out of this story with Freddy
Kreuger's rusty talons. I really care about the original story
and characters, the kinship expressed - that love and
friendship, family, yaaaas. So this book is like watching a
video of nothing but people kicking puppies and stomping on
kittens. I'd rather do without.
Oh, but here's a brief character synopsis:
Lulu's being a b*itch, Rikku's being a b*tch, Yuna's being a
stupid, spineless b*tch and Wakka is perhaps being more stupid
and oblivious than he used to be, though at least he hasn't
regressed to being racist - brownie points for Wakka, ya'll. And
Tidus well, he probaby needs some Paxil.
Overall, I am CHARMED, guys, let me tell you. Can't you tell?
>_>
