Even a TotalPartyKill means nothing because the Auto-Reraise pre-empts the Game Over screen. The only way to lose here is to deliberately inflict your own characters with TakenForGranite -- which the game tries to prevent by making the ''Actual'' FinalBoss specialize in those attacks, thereby encouraging you to take anti-Petrify armors into the endgame.

** What, you thought you'd just waltz into the most sacred place in the city after being declared a traitor, and walk back out of there without getting captured?
** Tidus' reaction to most of Spira's quirks is fairly realistic of a response. When told why the Summoner cannot receive help from anyone while praying to the Fayth, he pretty bluntly asks why and refuses to sit back, deciding to help because it doesn't make sense why. Later when he learns the AwfulTruth about Summoners - that [[HeroicSacrifice they die defeating Sin]] - he is horrified by the revelation, realizing he was talking to Yuna about all the things they could do once Sin is defeated, unaware she wouldn't be there if they did defeat Sin. He also reacts fairly realistically when he learns that Jecht is Sin; he gets angry at Auron for dragging him to Spira and then dropping such a reveal on him, and, for a short time, is heavily upset at it, going so far as to even somewhat deny it for a bit before accepting it.

The game implies if not outright states answers to all of these. Was Zanarkand's destruction intentional? given how Sin behaves, probably not. How did Yunalesca know to have a fail-safe in case Sin went berserk? Sin was beserk to begin with. What was her goal? To spread her father's teachings. Did Tidus really exist? Yes, he's basically Spira's version of a Tulpa. How does everyone breathe underwater during blitzball matches? Water works differently in this setting. In any case, a plothole is a contradiction in the story not an unexplained element, so this shouldn't be here anyway.

** What, you thought you'd just waltz into the most sacred place in the city after being declared a traitor, and walk back out of there without getting captured?
** Tidus' reaction to most of Spira's quirks is fairly realistic of a response. When told why the Summoner cannot receive help from anyone while praying to the Fayth, he pretty bluntly asks why and refuses to sit back, deciding to help because it doesn't make sense why. Later when he learns the AwfulTruth about Summoners - that [[HeroicSacrifice they die defeating Sin]] - he is horrified by the revelation, realizing he was talking to Yuna about all the things they could do once Sin is defeated, unaware she wouldn't be there if they did defeat Sin. He also reacts fairly realistically when he learns that Jecht is Sin; he gets angry at Auron for dragging him to Spira and then dropping such a reveal on him, and, for a short time, is heavily upset at it, going so far as to even somewhat deny it for a bit before accepting it.
** Wakka, who was a devout believer in Yevon, goes through a CrisisOfFaith after learning that Seymour killed his father and the group fights him. Unlike in most works of fiction where a character going through such a crisis typically resolves themselves to turning against their beliefs quickly, Wakka remains conflicted for pretty much the rest of the game. Having grown up his whole life being taught Yevon's teachings, he struggles with what to do because it was all he knew and believed in. Also, Wakka's hatred for the Al Bhed doesn't automatically go away either; Wakka has to re-evaluate his beliefs over the course of the game to fully let go of it.
** Wakka enlists Tidus, a star Blitzball Player, in the upcoming Blitzball tournament, so that the Besaid Aurouchs can break their

* RockBeatsLaser: Valefor, the first aeon acquired in the game, has Out of Range status and, like every aeon, is immune to all status effects. This turns its battle against the dangerous Demonolith enemy in the Omega Ruins BonusDungeon into a NoHoldsBarredBeatDown, because Demonolith can't reach it with physical attacks, and can't use its counterattack or Breath attack. (Unfortunately, it takes many slow, looping hits to kill one, making it a very boring battle).

Not really true. Yuna is important but the main antagonistic force has several very important connections to Tidus, who also undergoes character development. And the reveal if anything shows the opposite; that the fayth hoped that Tidus was the one who would make an important difference. That's actually why "This is my story" is Tidus's line, because how things turn out will ultimately be down to him.
