Title: Eternity
Description: A thousand words, call out~
Materia Thief - August 3, 2005 07:14 AM (GMT)
I just realized that there was no club to one of my favorite couples ever, Shuyin and Lenne of Final Fantasy X-2. Hopefully, they need no introduction, being central to the plot of X-2. ;)
So if you support/love them as much as I do, by all means join away! ^_^
And the reason why the club is titled as it is..well, err...because MT is feeling rather uncreative at the moment and she thought it fit. :lol:
A tad bit of a warning: There will be spoilers of X and X-2 inevitably. So do be careful. ^_^

I'm joining!! :wub: I love shuyin and lenne!!!! :fangirl:
Can I join???
SweetJanie - August 3, 2005 03:13 PM (GMT)
I love them too! ^_^
And I think the title is perfect since their love never died, it survived time, hence being eternal.
I really loved Shuin's devotion, and the reason's for being eval... also the way they died... Too romantic. :sad:
Add meh to teh list!!

Welcome to the club Sefie, yin-chan and SJ! :huggle: :gift:
And I agree! I always thought his devotion to her, through 1000 years of resisting death's final call, was really, really kinda sweet. ^_^
Seii Monogatari - August 3, 2005 05:33 PM (GMT)
Can I be co-founder? I founded 'A Wish that Spans the Ages' over at ACF, that must count for something, right? :(
I love Lenne & Shuyin because their relationship was mysterious, yet it was presented in an artistic way that let the gamers feel the full impact of their tragic love. I cried during the 1000 Words FMV. :sad:
Real_Emotion - August 3, 2005 05:41 PM (GMT)
Sign me up too!
Lenne and Shuyin are one of my most favorite FF couples! Their story is so tragic. Thier scene at the end of X2 was so sweet- it even made me cry!
Materia Thief - August 3, 2005 05:55 PM (GMT)
Aww...sure Seii! :lol:
And welcome to the club to the both of you!
Yeah, the 1000 Words FMV was so sad. ;_;
UsagiMamoru - August 3, 2005 07:36 PM (GMT)
SweetJanie - August 3, 2005 09:33 PM (GMT)
I cried too!! I never cry at video games, and I cried in that scene!! Hum, actually I cried in FFx ending...but that was the first time and it was waay to sad for little me, so it doesn't count!! :P
FF_Goddess - August 4, 2005 12:10 AM (GMT)
Sign me up! I love this couple! :wub:
Did you guys know that there are a lot of CloTis who like this pairing? :blink: This is one of those "love beyond death" pairings, like CloudxAerith. Are they blind??? :lmao:
Materia Thief - August 4, 2005 12:40 AM (GMT)
Welcome to the club, UsagiMamoru and FF_Goddess! :huggle:
I do find it kinda funny when they compare CloTi and Shuyin x Lenne, saying how 'alike' it is. Personally, I think their story is much more akin to Cloud x Aeris. ^_^
yin-chan - August 4, 2005 05:56 AM (GMT)
Lol true!! How on earth could it be similiar to CLoti?!? Nothing in the relationship is similar to Cloti!!! O___O
And yes, I cry during the 1000 words FMV every single time I watch it - the song is so beautiful, so tragic.... :tears:
Sefie - August 4, 2005 10:23 AM (GMT)
:lmao: How is ShuyinxLenne like CloTi? Cuz Lenne's got long dark hair she wears down and Shuyin's blonde? :blink:
And, I cry like a little baby every time I hear "1,000 Words"

But of course! Everyone knows that all the canon FF Relationships are just copies of Cloud and Tifa. ;)

Why, of course!!! Ah, how could I forget that!!!!
Tee hee, I should've noticed earlier. :rolleyes:
Materia Thief - August 5, 2005 09:35 PM (GMT)
Okay, I know a lot of you have answered this question already, but just to set this topic off.
Why did you guys like Shuyin x Lenne?
Personally, I found their story extremely touching and very interesting. The bittersweet tragedy and the way it was revealed, piece by piece, sphere by sphere, added intrigue to the story (personally, it was one of the few things that kept me really going. ;)) and kept the missions linked in a somewhat coherent manner. Also, the parallels drawn between Tidus x Yuna and Shuyin x Lenne added a layer of depth to both Tidus and his relationship with Yuna.
Ray_Chucks - August 6, 2005 05:59 AM (GMT)
Can I join? That song is very good. It is pretty sad also. But what I really hate about it is that Yuna, and Lenne look slightly similar and Shuyin and Tidus look the same besides the clothes. That is very unoriginal in FF, but meh whatever.
I like Koda Kumi's version, it had more emotion in it then Jade's. But since I can understand Jade's, I like it alot more.
Materia Thief - August 6, 2005 06:03 AM (GMT)
Welcome to the club Ray Chucks! :huggle:
Actually, there's a point to them looking very similar, it isn't really them being unoriginal. Yuna and Lenne's similarities are striking and without those similarites, Shuyin would've never confused Yuna for Lenne and well, Spira would've probably been destroyed. Tidus and Shuyin look very much alike for one simple reason, when Tidus was created by the fayth's dream, he was based after Shuyin, the famous blitzball player. ;)
It doesn't help that the Songstress dress sphere is actually Lenne, thus furthering the similarities. ^_^
Ray_Chucks - August 6, 2005 06:14 AM (GMT)
well, yeah, I got 100% so I know and all, but they could have gone difrent ways like having Yuna and Lenne like.......neh nvm.
Materia Thief - August 6, 2005 06:16 AM (GMT)
Oh no, go ahead! What's your ideas on it? ^_^
Ray_Chucks - August 6, 2005 06:32 AM (GMT)
Well, I just think they could have done something more *thinks* entertaining. They could have connected Yuna and Lenne more smoothly. The Songstress dressphere is useless, so they really had to try and fit it in, if they made the Songstress dressphere more useful and make it so in points Yuna could only wear it, then lenne would appear with her, in more far plain missions, and have it so that Shuyin..like uh was more of a fighter for lenne and with Yuna in the dressphere and stuck like that Shuyin would have to tell her things, and maybe have it so that Lenne appears making Shuyin have a daring choice each time which is making Vegnagun move, since Shuyin is controlling him (I think...that is what I got from it) and that is how the whole Vegnagun thing wraps in.
I don't know that was stupid.
Materia Thief - August 6, 2005 06:41 AM (GMT)
I don't think that was stupid! Actually, you made some very interesting points. :)
I do agree with you, to an extent. The Songstress dresssphere, while not necessarily useless, wasn't the most effective and was easily one of the worst-off in terms of 'usefulness'. Only allowing Yuna to wear that one costume, while an interesting idea on paper, would probably be rather impractical and has the high possibility of making quite a few gamers irritated, especially if they haven't worked on developing it and are suddenly forced to use it. ^_^
Also, I just wanted to point out that for the longest time, they didn't know who Lenne or Shuyin was. In the sphere that started off Yuna's quest, while it was actually Shuyin, for the longest time, the gamer is led to believe that it is Tidus (although it doesn't look anything like him. :lol:). Lenne doesn't appear in many Farplane missions as she isn't supposed to be able to materialize in the real world, being a spirit that's 'at peace'. Shuyin mistaking Yuna for Lenne was totally by accident and coincedince.
Shuyin has been trying to utilize Vengagun for about 1000 years now, for Lenne's sake. She had actually stopped him from using it originally and that's when they were killed, so Vengagun, is actually wrapped in quite a bit with their story. ^_^
Ray_Chucks - August 6, 2005 06:55 AM (GMT)
eh.i don't know, I don't like it all that much. well I do, but..........I have a weird feeling about it all. eh.......it was still a really good game for the first ever FF sequal. :P

Apparently AM came and visited us again. ^^;;
And welcome to the club, Dark Aura Cloud Gainsborough and flowerangel050!
Seii Monogatari - August 7, 2005 12:06 PM (GMT)
I know earlier we were on the topic of ShuLenne is relation to CloTi, so I thought I'd copy/paste this from the 'Cloud's Body Language' thread, because it explains how I feel on the subject. ^_^
| QUOTE (Seii Monogatari) |
One thing that gets me is how clotis say that Cloud is quiet around Tifa (has his back to her and such) because he's guilty. They make up possible reasons like he's ashamed because of the Geostigma and not being there for her and the kids. But he could fight and be there for them if that's what he wanted.
From what I've seen of Square, even guilty heroes are able to face the ones they love and reach out to them. In FFX-2, Shuyin tries to find Lenne. He reaches out to Yuna when he believes that she is Lenne because even though he's ashamed and guilty, Lenne is in his heart and he wants to be with her. Cloud hasn't shown that he wants to be with Tifa. It's Aeris he's trying to reach, and she's the one he's trying to face, like Shuyin and Lenne.
Lenne and Aeris are both souls that are at peace, but they are still in contact with the ones that they love. Everything is about trying to be together again. That's why I can't understand when people compare ShuLenne to CloTi, it just doesn't add up at all. |
FF_Goddess - August 7, 2005 07:12 PM (GMT)
I totally agree with you, Seii. I love how CloTis are all OMFG LUV BEEOND DETH IZ SO UBER GHEY!!!!!!!........ WE LUV SHOOYINxLENE!!!!! :blink:
Shuyin and Lenne were dead and yet searching for a way to be together after a thousand years. And you guys really think Cloud should be past his grief/love for Aerith after only two years??? Love beyond death is okay for Shuyin and Lenne (and Tidus and Yuna) but it's not okay for Cloud and Aerith??? <_< Please... Must you CloTis be that stupid???
Materia Thief - August 21, 2005 04:47 AM (GMT)
I totally agree that it mirrors Cloaer much more then it could ever resemble Cloti. ^_^
But I do love this piece of artwork here, it's quite lovely. ^_^

yin-chan - August 21, 2005 05:31 AM (GMT)
Shuyin and Lenne...*sigh*
That's such pretty fanart MT! I love the peaceful look on Shuyin's face. ^_^
Someone should seriously point out the similarities Cleris has with Shulenne to those Clotis! >__<" Geez....its so blatantly obvious...
I think it's really touching how they tried to reach each other...their ending was a bit..mehh...though, I think it would've been better if they turned it into a FMV.
i pRomiSe** - August 21, 2005 05:44 AM (GMT)
