Luffy: Law no!

Kinemon: Law-dono no!

Zoro: …Meh.

Luffy: Are you alright?

Law: I have three fucking holes in my chest. WHY DIDN’T YOU TRY TO BLOCK THEM?!

Luffy: I thought you had it.

Law: Nooo!

Doflamingo: It’s funny how he’s still talking. I could have sworn I hit a lung.

Law: (coughs up blood)

Doflamingo: Oh, there it is!

Why did Seymour's mother become such a horrific, grotesque looking aeon?

This is all speculation and I could’ve sworn I read something about this somewhere..

I think the major factors that it’s been influenced have been Jung’s personality theory, which you can read more about here and the Roman Catholic ‘Anima Sola’, which pictures as a soul in purgatory, having chains binding her wrist, which when broken has meant that she’s repented for her sins.

Combining this with something to do with her being so desperate to give her son some semblance of a normal life that in doing so, she became chained by it. Plus feelings about her own internal pain and struggle of not being able to do so combined with some many other factors (her illness, her marriage to Jyscal, the banishment, etc.) probably had something to do with it too.

The Jungian personality theory and the other religious meanings that are tied into her aeon design actually fit in quite well to the overall religious tones (plus a few minor ones) of the game itself.

Was it wrong for BB's forces to have attacked Baltigo?

I’m not sure what you mean by wrong. Morally? Yes, don’t attack people. Strategically? I’m not sure either way. Blackbeard seems to have some sort of scheme going and this could all be a part of it but, at the same time, he’s really similar to Luffy so he could just be going with the flow and solving issues as they come up.

"Kong: Skull Island": What you get from reviving the original film; but adding elements from "Platoon" & "Escape from Prehistoric Planet."

With added Apocalypse Now, Mad Max: Fury Road, and King Kong Escapes.

(First time Law was surprised by Doffy’s level of strength/skill)

Law: Ugh…How?!

Doflamingo: Because Law. Like a soon-to-be-broken-man once said: “You’re either perfect, or you’re not me.”

I've always forgotten to ask, but why is it possible for people to breathe easily underwater in this game - especially at crushing depths like when they salvaged that airship?

As far as I’m aware, it’s something to do with pyreflies being in the water, or harmonising with it according to the Ultimania, that allows them to breathe a lot easier. I’d imagine why it’s why blitzball players are able to breathe underwater for 5 minutes at a time besides having to train ages to be able to do so, why Yuna is able to walk on water during the sending scene and why some of the Al Bhed (like Rikku and Brother) are able to hold their breath underwater for so long. She’s able to manipulate the pyreflies in the water (as a summoner) to allow her to walk on it. The water + pyrefly mix (in high concentrations) are also what makes spheres too!

As for the crushing depths part, game logic most likely. I can’t imagine being crushed by water pressure being a dramatic way for two heroes to die, right at the start of the game. Perhaps pyreflies have a way with decreasing the water pressure too.

You can find a tad more info here, here, here and a few other places around the internet if you type in Pyreflies and water into google.

Why do the eyes of Al-Bhed all look strange?

I don’t think the game (or anyone else) has ever given a specific answer to this. It’s my understanding that it’s just a way to differentiate them from normal Spirians and/or a genetic mutation of some sort.

I don't want there to be an X-3. Both the "Novella" & the audio story "Will" are just rehashing the storys of the first two games.

Neither do I. I’m perfectly content with the two games we have, plus all the smaller cameos the characters in other games. Granted, there were okay parts of both the Novella and the Audio Story (the concept of the beckoning is intriguing, but not Sin coming back because it seems like a ‘one step forward, two steps backward’ kinda scenario, the council in Bevelle seems like an interesting idea, but the idea of Yuna and Tidus splitting up after what happened in both games seems like it’s reaching a bit far with very little to go on).

I mean, you could argue that VII has a butt load of other games attached onto it but from what I’ve heard (I’ve only recently, somewhat completed VII, so if I’m mistaken please correct me), having that many games/movies/spin-offs comes with a load of consistency issues. I love X and X-2 to death, they’re my favourites out of the entire series and as much as I would LIKE more games, I’m perfectly content with what we do have. I wouldn’t want anything else added to the main games unless it’s genuine lore/character/world building that doesn’t suck. 

But that’s just me.
