Final Fantasy X-2, the new sequel to the popular original release, was recognized recently in the 2003 edition of the Yahoo! Entertainment Awards. The game took home second place, and was a bit of a surprise as the only RPG to be among the top five finalists.
The placings are partly based on the overall number of searches a given title has on the Yahoo! search engine, but were finalized only when Yahoo! users worldwide had their say. While the Yahoo! Entertainment Awards encompass many different aspects of the entertainment industry, FFX-2's strong showing in the Game division is a testament to its popularity.
