That's not exactly what I meant. Yeah the mc will tend to influence people but in Yuna's case it's a lot more directly significant than say, Auron's or Rikku's or whoever. Like it's not that Yuna changed her way of thinking it's that she basically stole a speech that would come directly out of Tidus's mouth. Varying degrees of influence I guess?
I'm not saying Yuna's not responsible for that moment, I'm saying it would be nice to see her do something interesting that was a direct result of her own way of thinking. Yuna to me feels like a character that is always led along by some thinker that's stronger willed than she is. Be it Yu Yevon (or whoever pushes her to do the pilgrimage) early in the game when she's sticking to her guns with the pilgrimage, Tidus when she decides to rebel against the idea of the pilgrimage, or Rikku in FFX-2 when she decides to become a ditz. She doesn't seem to have a strong sense of her own identity. She's a follower. Not that that's bad but it makes her character less interesting to me.
It's not a matter of "Tidus influenced that decision so it cheapens it" it's a matter of "I was getting at she has no moment in the games that's all her driving it forward and this is no exception."
