7 Heroic Video Game Sacrifices That Meant NOTHING

If ever there was a video game enemy that represented the gaming industry at large then it's the main antagonist from Final Fantasy X.

A massive, bloated whale that just ruins everyone's fun with microtransactions, loot boxes, (some mega death waves), and of course its sheer heft. Plus it's called Sin.

Is it any wonder why the people of Spira want this Moby !*$% gone from their lives and thus send a chosen few on arduously long quests in order to quell the beast? Of course not! And for the summoners that take this pilgrimage, no role could be more rewarding, as by their hand they will banish the monster for good. Or at least a few hundred years but that's good enough for most people.

However, it's soon revealed that in order to defeat Sin, the Summoner must use the Final Aeon, which then kills the caster and then....becomes the new Sin.

Oh ok then, seems like a pretty pointless cycle of violence, death, destruction, and loss that will most definitely cause thousands more to lose their lives. Cool. All those prior summoners, who either died on their journeys or through buying the world sometimes, all their lives were really for nothing as the cycle would continue indefinitely had Yuna and her crew just said "nah not today thanks" and beaten Yu Yevon into base elements.

Seriously did no one try this option before?
