Why do you suppose Auron -and I'm assuming all the unsent guys that linger- ages even though he's been dead for 10 years? It's just something Ive thought of and I can't really think of a logical reason, I mean, he's dead so surely he should just stay as he was when he died?
 
Maybe its because they are unsent, which means they are existing between life and death, which means that they are still forced to age like the rest of the living
 
I think maybe it's because they're tied to the world by powerful emotions, and can still physically touch and feel things, so it's only logical that they age too?

Or perhaps it's a personal choice? Like, I can't remember if it states when Mika died in the game, but I don't think he would carry on aging forever, right? :gasp:

Is Yunalesca an unsent? Because she hasn't aged in 1000 years. I think. It's confusing.
 
Mwahahaha, Kelly i shall say the same thing i did in the Sb ---- Auron is so badass that he ages after death... Or for a more logical approach--- Since he never actually was sent, the process of aging more or less still applied to him.
 
As far as I can tell, the only dead who can actually be "unsent" must have strong ties to this world, otherwise they become fiends (I feel like I remember this, at least :gasp:). Those like
Mika, Seymour, Auron
who managed to remain unsent in spite of their deaths seem to be just as "human" as they were before...I assume that this includes aging as well.

The only example you see of actual disparity of aging is Auron, I suppose, so there's no way to know for sure...but I'll bet they age just like regular people age.
 
Could be linked to the time he spent in Zanarkand, it is the only logical reason I can think xD

Him not changing in 10 years would raise Tidus's suspicions though...probably something the unsent can do, I dunno, just a theory so no one start scratching xD I'm not even sure of it myself.
 
Yeash Yunalesca is an unsent, so like she would be looking pretty rough should she cary on aging

OWAIT....thought

Maybe, because he existed in Dream Zanarkand for 10 years, he aged...I mean that place wasn't real either but the dream people still lived/breathed/ate/shat/aged...so he did too? And now he's back in the real world, he won't age any more?

If you get where Im going with that.....>_<
 
That makes sense, if you apply the dream Zanarkand theory, as it would also explain why Yunalesca hasn't aged.

Although, I don't know if you could count Yunalesca, since if she was the High Summoner who first defeated sin, why didn't she die? Braska, etc went to the Farplane, and she didn't...
 
Um... Good question. From the FF wiki: (which, I do realize, is NOT a reliable source >.>)
"An interesting fact to note is that Auron was young and at a ripe age of 25 when Braska defeated Sin. Yet, even after his death by Yunalesca, he continued to age, all the way up to 35. He even has gray streaks now and appears to be much much older. How this happened is a mystery as it makes no logical sense for a man to age in undeath, unless if an unsent spirit can still age like everyone else. However it can be theorized that since he was an unsent and did travel to the 'Dream Zanarkand' that his body may have undergone a change that reverted him back to a sense of living, as Dream Zanarkand was a city dreamed up by the Fayth for the remaining souls of the real Zanarkand. As Tidus aged, so too did Auron."

I think that sounds pretty on mark, but if it's not... Is this just a big screwup by Square? They've left bigger plot holes than THIS one before XD

I'd like to believe the thing from FF wiki :P It sounds a lot better than "oh... Square screwed up."

EDIT: Oh, and in response to Stevie Nicks up there, I think she chose to not be sent. Or she was just so powerful being first and all... I don't know. Or she knew she'd be needed?

it does seem to make more sense, because there are afew unsent dudes who just dont appear to have aged beyond death, and I like that theory
 
Belgemine doesn't age after death, does she? Neither does Mika. And, the only thing that seperates them from Auron, is the fact that Auron went to Dream Zanarkand, and they didn't.

Although, it could be argued that when they died they were FAR younger, but they carried on aging too. However, it's pretty hard to determine this, since we never see a younger Belgemine/Mika, and we don't know exactly when they died x___x
 
I think I'll stick with either the Zanarkand theory or...

What if it's all personal choice? Maybe Auron WANTED to age, because he stayed around humans a ton, plus he was really young when he died. Perhaps Mika and Belgemine were much older at their times of death, and when you're older, you don't change quite as much as when you're younger.

Or maybe it was Auron being in denial! Not that... I think he was in denial. I just thought of that one randomly >.<
 
I really do think it's all about their emotions and ties to the real world that makes them appear to be as normal as anyone else. Auron was determined to see Tidus through the pilgrimage and his promise to Jecht, so that's why he probably appeared to be as normal as possible.

On the other hand, Yunalesca appeared to be a mindless robot with rehearsed lines. xD
 
It's also bugged me how Yunalesca obtained the Final Aeon without knowing what to do, first. It would leave you to assume that, as the "first" Summoner, she actually "came up with" that method of defeating Sin? If we believed that, then it would be safe to say that she'd also "come up with" a way of keeping herself around to share her method with future Summoners?

Oooooh, wait...Yunalesca was from Zanarkand and Sin destroyed Zanarkand...is it possible that Yunalesca is also a Dream of the Fayth? Still doesn't explain the aging thing, though.

I'm inclined to agree with Kelly and FFWiki over Auron, though.
 
She was from Zanarkand but not dream Zanarkand the Zanarkand that was destroyed.... Yu Yevon was also from Zanarkand aswel though amirite? and didn't most of the Summoners die in the war...? But then if he has created Sin to defeat Bevelle...or whoever he was fighting with..OWAIT ANOTHE RBRAIN FART......Yunalesca could be in on it with Yu Yevon? Maybe she knew that using the Final Aeon would keep Sin going forever thus making the world PAY forever for destroying Zanrakand, so Like, Zaon became the first armour thing around Yu Yevon, and Yunalesca stayed on as an unsent to make sure this was seen as the only way of defeating Sin?
 
WHOA KELLY. PURE GENIUS, this is.

You might be onto something here! I love this idea. CONSPIRACY! She probably WAS in on it, the barely clothed betch. Maybe they decided all of this way back, and even started the war with Bevelle! Or... is that too far? Either way, I SWEAR they're in on it together :D
 
Yunalesca went to Bevelle and told them that summoning the final aeon was the only way to kill sin, which is why she is angry and kills Auron and tries to kill Tidus et al. When Yu Yevon first became sin he probably had a lot more control over himself and told Yunalesca his daughter how to defeat sin.
She says something about false hope I think, how it's all they have, as she knows/thinks that Sin cannot be permanently defeated.
On Auron, he is the only unsent who doesn't want to be alive. He only lives to fulfil his promises to Braska and Jecht, whereas all the other unsent want to be alive, Seymour because he wants to kill everyone, Belgemine to help summoner etc.
 
The unsent are able to control the pyreflies around them, and thus give themself whatever appearance and form they want. Take Seymour for example - your first fight against him, when he's alive - he can summon an aeon, but he doesn't in any way transform. Later, once he's unsent, he can control the pyreflies much more, and becomes various different forms - Natus, Flux and Omnis.

It's the same way. Unsents can change their appearance. Most likely they don't age (based on the fact that none bar Auron do), however, Auron most likely modified his form to look as if he aged. However, it could indeed be the opposite - Auron may be the only one who doesn't constantly modify his form to get rid of the appearance of aging.
 
That's a very good theory(both of them xD)...I like the idea of modifying their appearance, it certainly makes sense as to how Seymour could change his appearance, I was wondering why Seymour was able to modify his appearance yesterday actually (just finished the 2nd fight with him) so that's that question answered...although it's such a boring reason, I well prefer the idea of him aging in dream Zanarkand..owellz
 
Dream Zanarkand causing it is out of the question. You don't see fiends suddenly start aging after they touch Valefor, and DZ is no different - it's just one HUGE freaking aeon.
