Lulu + The Northern Lights
Ah, Final Fantasy X...where one of the best moments in the game (beating up Seymour for the first time) is immediately followed by one of the worst (Macalania Cloister of Trials).
Seriously though... why wasn’t Lulu included in FFX-2 as a main character? Her outfit was extremely impractical for adventure and battle in FFX, but with a wardrobe change like Yuna and Rikku had, Lulu could have been a “Sphere Hunter” and do all the different battle-jobs with them... I actually really like Lulu as a character and probably would have enjoyed the sequel a little more if she hadn’t been excluded.
Someone online said Lulu was too serious, but Yuna was really serious in FFX too and got a lot less serious for the sequel. Lulu could have done the same if they felt she needed to. Someone else said it was because Lulu was exclusively a black mage in the original and wouldn’t have done the job-change thing... But hold up - the sphere grid is all connected and by the end of FFX, everyone is everything. Yuna was only a summoner/white mage. Rikku was only a thief... to start... I can’t think of a good reason for leaving her out and replacing her with a character who was actually really similar to her personality-wise and appearance-wise. Back before I played FFX-2 and only saw the cover art and hadn’t read anything about it, I thought Paine was Lulu - with a new hair style...
Anyway... I never really got invested in FFX-2. I don’t think I even finished it. There’s something about it that’s just way too tedious for me. I can’t even say for sure what that something is.
shiva’s fayth.

Yuna finishes off Seymour and his minions by learning the Ga spells a bit too early
