{{infobox character |name=Yo Mika |release=FFX |japanese=ヨー=マイカ |romaji=Yō-Maika |image=Mika.jpg |home=[[Bevelle]] |age=99<ref>''Final Fantasy X Ultimania Omega''</ref> (''Final Fantasy X'') |affiliation=[[Yevon]] |occupation=Grand [[Maester]] |race=[[Human]] |gender=Male |ffx type=npc |x2 type=boss |designer=[[Tetsuya Nomura]] |japanese voice actor=Hiroshi Iwasaki |english voice actor=[[Dwight Schultz]] |boss page=Concherer }} {{Quote|People of Spira, I thank you for your generous welcome.|Yo Mika}} '''Yo Mika''' is the [[Maester|grand maester]] of [[Yevon]] and spiritual leader of [[Spira]] in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' and minor character in ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''. He is revered as a peaceful and stabilizing influence in Spira, having brought both the [[Ronso]] and the [[Guado]] to the Yevon faith during his tenure as grand maester. == Profile == === Appearance === Mika is an elderly figure who wears traditional Yevonite clothing. He is bald and has a prominent, triangular neck-length beard. He is typically seen with his eyes half closed. === Personality === As the spiritual leader of the world of Spira, Mika appears as a calm, conciliating, grandfatherly, wise person, who is able to provide guidance, peace, and reassurance to the world, showing a warm, polite disposition. {{spoiler}} In truth, Mika is a master manipulator and cunning liar, perpetuating Yevon's false preaches of salvation while hiding the religion's true face. He doesn't tolerate opposition neither to himself, much less Yevon, and feels nothing about executing people if necessary. When he learns that [[Kelk Ronso|Maester Kelk]] is disturbed by [[Seymour Guado|Maester Seymour's]] patricide, he scorns the Ronso leader behind his back, claiming that his race is "hard headed, and hardly useful", hinting that despite welcoming Kelk as a [[maester]] to improve race relations, Mika may hold racist beliefs. The bulk of Mika's motivations may be rooted on nihilism and disillusionment rather than avarice and self-profiting, as he sees the futility of trying to defy [[Sin (Final Fantasy X)|Sin]] and its spiral of death. He believes no true salvation exists, much contrary to what his religion preaches, preferring to offer Spira a false sense of hope rather than have it sink in despair. Given his strong desire to remain leading the religion even as an [[unsent]], he is self-serving, arrogant, and at heart an hypocrite, caring about Yevon—and by proxy his interest—first, instead of doing actual good to the world. Contrary to his attachment to his duty, he has a weak will that collapses after learning of [[Yunalesca]]'s demise, succumbing to despair and refusing to believe in alternatives or fight to save the world. Mika sees the destruction of Yevon's core practice as tantamount to the loss of the world's only hope, however false it was. ==Story== ===''Final Fantasy X''=== [[File:Mika and seymour.jpg|thumb|left|Mika in Luca.]] Mika first appears in [[Luca (Final Fantasy X)|Luca]], where he is celebrating his 50th year as grand maester by attending the [[blitzball]] tournament held in his honor. He introduces Seymour Guado, the newly appointed maester who has succeeded his father, [[Jyscal Guado|Jyscal]], following his death. When [[Tidus]] learns Mika has been grand maester for half a century, he asks "Shouldn't he be retired now?", much to [[Wakka]]'s annoyance. After the battle with Seymour at [[Lake Macalania|Macalania Temple]], Mika appears in [[Bevelle]] at [[Yuna]]'s forced marriage to the now unsent Seymour. When Yuna escapes upon [[Valefor (Final Fantasy X)|Valefor]] into [[Bevelle Temple|the temple]], Mika places her and her [[Guardian (Final Fantasy X)|guardians]] on trial for Seymour's murder. [[File:Mika is unsent.jpg|Mika reveals his true nature.|thumb]] It becomes clear there is a deep conspiracy surrounding [[Bevelle]] and Yevon. Mika reveals himself as an unsent, claiming that even in death, his leadership is "invaluable to Spira." As Yuna and her friends dig deeper into this web of lies, Mika reveals that Sin cannot be defeated, and the teachings claiming that atonement for the crimes committed during the [[Machina War]] can defeat it are false. Only the hope that [[Summoner (Final Fantasy X)|summoners]] bring when temporarily calming Sin keeps Spira going. When Mika learns that the party have destroyed Yunalesca and thus the only means of producing a brief [[Calm (Final Fantasy X)|Calm]], he descends into despair and disperses into [[Pyrefly|pyreflies]], willingly leaving Spira to its destruction with no intent to witness it. Before vanishing, he mentions [[Yu Yevon]], which gives Yuna's party the clue they need to ending Sin permanently. ===''Final Fantasy X-2''=== [[File:Mika in ffx-2.jpg|thumb|left|Mika in Via Infinito before becoming [[Concherer]].]] When Yuna, [[Rikku]], and [[Paine]] encounter Mika two years later in the [[Via Infinito]], he has become the fiend [[Concherer]]. {{clear}} {{endspoiler}} ==Musical themes== Mika's theme is called "Grand Maester Mika" on ''[[Final Fantasy X: Original Soundtrack]]''. It is first played at Maester Mika's appearance in Luca and was composed by [[Junya Nakano]]. ==Voice== Mika is voiced by [[Dwight Schultz]] in the English version. ==Gallery== <gallery> MaesterMika1.PNG|Maester Mika.
