Who cares if it doesn't make sense from a plot perspective--which, by the way, is wrong; it does make sense--they're non-unique from a gameplay perspective and that's all she wrote.
Yeah, because they're exactly the same, both the PC form and the boss form.
Why, even the boss forms are all the same.
Oh wait.
Again, the plot is largely irrelevant. There's a bunch of stuff in the gameplay of games that is not reflected in the plot. ZOMG there's no plot explanation for Ryu's AP cost for dragons, let's totally disregard it!!!!!!
Yeah, because Yuna often fights other Summoners who have her own Aeons in the DL, hence making the exact point of the mechanics and not the plot of it relevant.
Oh wait.
Remiem is unsent and can summon every Aeon in the game.
Oh, you mean Belgemine. You're right, of course. I forgot that. Ah well.
Massively insulting detailing of the word "duel" in explicit detail with bright red letters so that you are really certain ID is being insulting about it and not just trying to have a polite debate.
(I'll admit, I've been sorta dry and tired about this, but damn man. That makes me look practically sacchrine.)
Because everything I mentioned clearly has no outside influence from any other people, places or things and hence is clearly a "duel" in the sense that it's entirely the original person's power.
Oh wait.
In fact, your own precious Ryus are the worst examples; Ryu 1 and 2's powers are ligitimate enough, but Ryu 3's powers outside of Fire and Defender are fusions with the remains of other dragons and Ryu 4's powers consist of fusing with another dragon, in the case of everything but Aura and Berserk Kaiser(Because he needed seven freaking dragons to stabilize Kaiser, mind you.) so fully that he changes into it. Such a representation of his own powers. Oh, and he
summons dragons, yeah, such a loner here.
Nothing in that list is having a wholly different entity fight in the character's stead.
Ah, but why precisely does that matter, when fundamentally this is a plot argument to start with?
For, as I've said, many characters pull in meatshields. Malice Umbral. Chaos Shield. Ryu's dragons.
And many characters do so so fully that they rely on them entirely.
Yet somehow, because Yuna's isn't lashed to her body-no, it just requires her own powers and is clearly connected to her both gameplaywise and plotwise, but isn't
quite her, she doesn't have Ixion connected to her or anything, just stands out there by it, kinda like Lavos and his bits, say, a whole *lot* like how Rydia summons things but hey they don't stay out!
...that's...not only a divider, somehow, for some inexplicable reason, but one so
clear to you twits that you have been standing by it for years without any freaking attempt to justify how it is special. So clear that you have not even once questioned it. Just to be clear: You have never shown any evidence of examining your own motives on this or following anything but an emotional kneejerk when banning Yuna's Aeons. For, as I said, the list is long as to things that have plot influence of their own. Sentience of their own. Seperate wills of their own. Things that come in and fight for the player.
You're right, ID. You just missed your own point. So long as it's an extension of the dueller's power, which Aeons are in every concievable way, for they do not summon themselves, they do require Yuna, they are connected to her statistically, they are connected to her plotwise, they are connected to her in every way that Ryu's are but physically, it should be allowed.
And you guys should stop bawling people out who have bothered to think this out, especially the ones that have gotten over their own kneejerks and seen my point. Either be consistant or be silent and don't bawl out others because WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU ALLOW AEONS THEY BREAK THE SPIRIT OF THE DUEL WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH without justification.
Ahem. I know I'm sounding harsh, but it's an old argument and somehow none of the Yuna haters are ever content to let something this old lie. I dislike duellers, I dislike some common views of duellers, but
I don't bawl every time they get in.Edit: Dramatization, Sage does not actually think anyone is a twit.
But I do love that word so. It's so dramatic that I couldn't help but use it.
