Auron can finally get his sweet revenge.



It's been ten years since I first played Final Fantasy X and it probably still is one of my favourite RPG. I remember being amazed by the graphics at the time, it was the most beautiful game I had ever seen, so when the HD Remaster came out, I was thrilled to see how Square would improve it.



I was really impressed by Yunalesca's third form when I first saw her, she was for me the most memorable boss despite not being the hardest. So I was really looking forward to seeing her again, and I was not disappointed. The amount of details added to her face is really impressive, so I felt the urge to draw her. But as it happens, I also really like Auron and since Yunalesca is strongly connected to his past, I thought I'd do something featuring the two.



This of course took FOREVER to finish, thanks to those sodding tentacles but I'm mildly satisfied, so I guess it's fine. Nevertheless, I think I'll do something more casual next time.



I also took my time to finish the game yet again, but this time I also wanted to do every single side quest. I already knew about the Dark Aeons and Penance/Der Richter because I used to own the PAL version, but I didn't have the patience to get every celestial weapons at the time. So yeah, I dodged 200 lightning bolts, did that stupid Chocobo race and played Blitzball for 3 days straight... but it was worth it because the Steam version has achievements, as opposed to the PS2 version. The butterflies were way easier than I thought though.



Speaking of bosses, Mt. Gagazet Seymour wasn't that hard either because by the time you get to him you can use your aeons' overdrives for an easy fight. The hardest for me at the time, strangely enough, was the dragon before entering Bevelle. He is in fact very easy but because I was a complete newbie and not using stoneproof gear, I had a hard time defeating him when I first played.



Sadly already knowing the game makes the experience way shorter. Still, the HD Remaster comes with Final Fantasy X-2, but I'm not sure I want to go there...
