What the hell?
Jeez, has it been long enough since I posted something here? Good grief.
A thought from playing through FFX: Yojimbo is an Aeon who’s fayth was an assassin-for-hire. You actually have to pay him to get him to do anything. He’s an Aeon. What in the hell is he going to do with money?
Seriously. You pay him, and then what? I mean, okay, you used to be an assassin. Okay, you require some symbolic thing connected to your former assassin days. But… what are you doing with it afterwards? You’re a dream of a soul trapped in a statue of what used to be a person.
Does the Gil just dissapear when Yojimbo’s dismissed? Does he keep it? Is it some off-screen contractual thing that the summoner who called him has to buy him stuff with the Gil they pay him? Is he working towards a new stereo system for the Chamber of the Fayth? Does he just want the symbolic offer of money for his services and give it back when he’s done killing whatever you summoned him to kill?
Actually, no, he doesn’t do that — I’d have noticed by now, I think.
This is probably one of those things you just shouldn’t think about, like why random minor enemies are carrying around weapons and armor. Hey, maybe the enemy ate some poor bastard and their armor or weapon got stuck in the monster’s teeth or something?
Death by flan. It’s an ugly way to go.
Yeah.
So… yeah. Nevermind.
