Rin's Travel Agency



Rin's Travel Agency in Final Fantasy X is an Al Bhed-owned chain of establishments across Spira. They serve the same purpose as the Inns from the previous Final Fantasy games, fully curing the party members of all ailments, including KO, as well as fully replenishing all HP and MP, free of charge. However, they also play an important role in the plot's advancement. The chain of Agencies are owned by Rin, and all feature a Tutorial Computer and a Save Point for the player to record their game data. In Final Fantasy X-2, they serve primarily as shops; they no longer offer the option to rest, and they are not important to the story, unless the player decides to do some of the side-quests.

Story
Located on the Mi'ihen Highroad, this Travel Agency is the first the party come across on their travels. Despite the fiends littering the path and the difficulty of their journey, Wakka refuses to stay at the Agency due to its establishment's race. However, Wakka finally relents and the party rest at the Agency for the night. Restless, Tidus wanders outside to find Yuna watching the sunset alone - having just recorded her will - and joins her. The two muse over the peaceful nature of the place, before Yuna reveals the objective behind all summoner's journeys: to acquire the Final Aeon which resides in the Fayth at Zanarkand.

In the morning, the party leave the Mi'ihen Branch to fight the Chocobo Eater outside the Agency. If the player is successful, Rin offers a free Chocobo ride to finish crossing the Highround as a token of gratitude. Rin also gives Tidus the Al Bhed primer Volume VIII, regardless of the outcome of the battle.
