*** The above quote casts a bit more light on one of the game's more unspoken character interactions, that of Kimahri and Auron. While Yuna couldn't have known this, it becocmes apparent that the dying man Kimahri had promised to was Auron, not her father. After being mortally wounded in challenging Lady Yunalesca alone, Auron crawled all the way back to Mount Gagazet before he eventually died. Some of the last people he ever saw in life were Rin, and Kimahri. He asked Kimahri, a complete stranger, to watch over Yuna, presumably so that Auron as an unsent could fulfill his other promise to Jecht and watch over Tidus. Kimahri accepted, despite not knowing the man and Auron not having the celebrity that Braska had. Without Kimahri's gesture, Auron couldn't have fulfilled either promise in full. This puts their last interaction in a new light, as well. Kimahri knew the whole time that Auron was an unsent, but stayed silent because they had a mission and people to protect.

-->''"Kimahri... Do you remember the first day we met? I was only seven. My father had defeated Sin, and all Bevelle was celebrating. Everyone was saying what a hero my father was. I was so happy. But when night came, it occurred to me. My father had defeated Sin and now he was dead. Now, I was all alone. I couldn't sleep, so I wandered into the town, away from the celebrating crowds. I stood on the bridge to Bevelle where my father and I had parted. Standing there, alone, I could see the fields where he had fought Sin. Then, you appeared, Kimahri. You said you were looking for 'the daughter of Braska', remember? At first, I was so scared. Until I realized what a [[GentleGiant gentle person]] you are. You weren't used to talking to children. When I told you that I was Braska's daughter... you said you would take me as far from Bevelle as you could. That it was the wish of a man facing death. I think... I cried then. Because that... that was when I knew my father was dead... and I would never see him again. You just held me, without saying a word. I cried after we got to Besaid, too. When you tried to go after leaving me in the care of the temple... I held onto you, crying, '[[PleaseDontLeaveMe Don't go, don't go!]]' And you listened, Kimahri. You [[DeclarationOfProtection stayed]]. Kimahri, thank you. Thank you so much. And I've always [[FreakinessShame liked your broken horn]]."''

* The cutscene "The Spring", in which Yuna and Tidus share their first kiss.

* Kimahri has had a feud with [[TheBully Biran and Yenke]] throughout the entire game and a good part of the backstory and before being allowed to pass uninterrupted, Biran and Yenke won't allow Kimahri to pass without being able to best them.

* At Mt. Gagazet, the Ronso promise to bar Yevon's path and give Yuna as much time as she needs to reach Zanarkand. They then say they will erect a statue in her honour. One Ronso then adds "with great horn on head" and Yuna is so adorably pleased at this. It's also a nice little MythologyGag since in the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX previous game in the series]], summoners did have horns.

* Auron's story about Jecht getting drunk and attacking a shoopuf becomes one when you remember the earlier scene where young!Tidus pleaded with Jecht to give up drinking. To elaborate: Jecht got drunk while Braska & co. were at the Moonflow, mistook a shoopuf for a fiend and tried to kill it with his sword. Braska's party had to offer up all their money as an apology. After that, Jecht never touched another drop of alcohol again.

* The laughter scene starts out funny but becomes sweet once you see Yuna join in with Tidus's ridiculously fake laughing.
* A surrogate brother and sister relationship develops between Rikku and Tidus throughout the game, and by Mt Gagazet it's clear that they are incredibly close. If you ride with Rikku to Macalania Temple, she realises he doesn't know the truth about the Final Aeon and gives him a little hug. Tidus is surprised, but finds it nice nonetheless.

* The laughter scene starts out funny but becomes sweet once you see Yuna join in with Tidus's ridiculously fake laughing.
* A surrogate brother and sister relationship develops between Rikku and Tidus throughout the game, and by Mt Gagazet it's clear that they are incredibly close. If you ride with Rikku to Macalania Temple, she realises he doesn't know the truth about the Final Aeon and gives him a little hug. Tidus is surprised, but finds it nice nonetheless.

*** The above quote casts a bit more light on one of the game's more unspoken character interactions, that of Kimahri and Auron. While Yuna couldn't have known this, it becocmes apparent that the dying man Kimahri had promised to was Auron, not her father. After being mortally wounded in challenging Lady Yunalesca alone, Auron crawled all the way back to Mount Gagazet before he eventually died. Some of the last people he ever saw in life were Rin, and Kimahri. He asked Kimahri, a complete stranger, to watch over Yuna, presumably so that Auron as an unsent could fulfill his other promise to Jecht and watch over Tidus. Kimahri accepted, despite not knowing the man and Auron not having the celebrity that Braska had. Without Kimahri's gesture, Auron couldn't have fulfilled either promise in full. This puts their last interaction in a new light, as well. Kimahri new the whole time that Auron was an unsent, but stayed silent because they had a mission and people to protect.

***The above quote casts a bit more light on one of the game's more unspoken character interactions, that of Kimahri and Auron. While Yuna couldn't have known this, it becocmes apparent that the dying man Kimahri had promised to was Auron, not her father. After being mortally wounded in challenging Lady Yunalesca alone, Auron crawled all the way back to Mount Gagazet before he eventually died. Some of the last people he ever saw in life were Rin, and Kimahri. He asked Kimahri, a complete stranger, to watch over Yuna, presumably so that Auron as an unsent could fulfill his other promise to Jecht and watch over Tidus. Kimahri accepted, despite not knowing the man and Auron not having the celebrity that Braska had. Without Kimahri's gesture, Auron couldn't have fulfilled either promise in full. This puts their last interaction in a new light, as well. Kimahri new the whole time that Auron was an unsent, but stayed silent because they had a mission and people to protect.
