It's loads more satisfying to actually finish the game and unearth the truth rather than have someone tell it to you, but that's just the opinion of one guy.
I got too annoyed with the thing to finish it because it was basically crap, but I'd kinda like to know this too. It seemed really weird that Tidus' real world self, supposedly lived 1000 years ago, then this other guy pops up.. Supposedly the real world self of Tidus, but ALSO in present day Spira. How did Square-Enix explain this contradiction? Did I miss something?
Besides. I don't have FF10-2. I just rented it...
Lucky you.. I actually bought the piece of [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img].
You seem strangely interested in something you thought was a piece of [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img].
I would suggest that you both go through with it and beat it if you're actually interested in what happens at the end. I think you'll find it to be a good enjoyable game down the line. I have trouble believing you really hated the game if you want to know what happens, you wouldn't find me asking for the ending to Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne which, for all intents and purposes, I thought was a piece of [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img].
Haha!! lmao!!Quote:

i wouldnt call it a peice of [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] id just call it not very good for a final fantasy gsme.as a game its good but it doesnt match up to other FFs.
I think that they are the same person in a sense remember the bevelle vs. zanarkand war well I think that tidus was created from the memory of shuyin

Speaking of which, how come the group doesn't act differently from any of the other dress spheres? How come it's only Yuna, and only the Songstress DS?
yuna and lenne are "conneted" and lenne waz a singer
First of all, FFX-2 is a pretty good FF game. One of the better IMO. (But then, my oppinion of the best to worst order for the games goes against the grain anyway).
Now, as for the Shuyin/Tidus connection, it's never specifically stated but I think it's fairly obvious myself. We don't actually SEE Shuyin die in Bevelle. The scene shows him go down, Lene die, and then that's it. And other scenes imply he survived and didn't know she died right away.
I think he wound up on Mt. Gagazet as one of the Fayth and his part of the 'dream Zanarkand' was Tidus. We don't know if the dream Zanarkand ever 'reset' after a point, starting over again, or if one person 'died' the Fayth just created a new dream self. Either way, it all still fits.
So, it's my belief based off what I've seen, that Shuyin was a Fayth on Gagazet and that Tidus was his dream, basicly what Shuyin could have been if the war hadn't happened.
i think the kid you see in the dream zaanekind (howerver its spelt(tierd lol) is tidus younger selth. also tidus might be the way the fayth rember shuyin to be. shuyin did die in bevelle infront of vegnagun. shuyin's memory got stuck in that "den of woe" place. the true consesnus on shuyin was also trapped there and later posessed nooj then barali. this could of happend because the cave was used to burey people that might become fiends and only shuyin became one. the thing with the dress spheare is that lenne consusnes got trapped inside it and reacted to shuyin making yuna look like her to shuyin.
tidus wasnt created from the bloody memory ARRRRGH!!!.
shuyin and lenne were involved in a war with bevelle and zanarkand.
And then they stop moving... and die. It's specifically stated that Shuyin never got to hear Lenne saying "I love you," even though we see her saying it. He had already died. Everything in the game goes to indicate that he died right there.Quote:

Most likely it resets.Quote:

And I've answered this already. ^^Quote:

In a more peaceful age, she might have lived out her years as a
performer. But the times-and her talents-did not allow such a thing to
be. You see, Lenne's gift for singing was matched by her genius in the
summoner's arts. When then Machina War began, all summoners were sent to the front lines. Zanarkand was hopelessly outnumbered, and Lenne knew she would not return home alive. Nonetheless, she was prepared to lay down her life to protect her people. Yet there was one person who refused to let Lenne die. Yes, he would do anything to save her. He was...a young man, Lenne's lover.
Rikku: Shuyin?
Maechen: I...don't know. His name has been lost to history. Whatever
his name, the youth endeavored to steal the enemy's machina weapon and save Lenne. However...
Quote:
Maechen: The lovers met a truly tragic end. Those images we all witnessed are most certainly a record of their last moments.
(In the Den of Woe)Quote:
Paine: Maybe Lenne felt the same way. The man she loved, he struggled to save her. He fought till his very last breath for her. I think that Lenne's final words might have been happy ones: "I love you."
Quote:
Paine: You!
Shuyin: I wanted to rest forever, but the pyreflies make me relive that
moment... Again and again and again.
...
Yuna: What's going on?
Shuyin: You will see.
::Shuyin makes Yuna collapse and see the scene of his and Lenne's deaths once more; she rises again a moment later and Shuyin steps toward her; she aims her guns at him::
Yuna: Stay back!
Shuyin: This is our story, Lenne.
Yuna: Don't make me say this again! I'm... not... Lenne!
...
Rikku: Shuyin is no ordinary unsent!
Paine: Seems that way. When he died a thousand years ago, his feelings became intertwined with the pyreflies, creating this... apparition.
On top of all of this, if he had been a Fayth on Gagazet, he would have gone to the Farplane with the rest of them when Yu Yevon was defeated. His spirit wouldn't have remained in Spira.
And you have absolutely no evidence to even suggest that it does. o.OQuote:

Further, Tidus is a child when Auron goes to stay in Aeon Zanarkand. He is a young adult during the game.
That's not how it works, Xyex. The place is an Aeon. It's manifested into the world as any other Aeon is. Time passes the same there. People are born there, they have their children there, and then they die there. The place isn't a huge recording of the Zanarkand peoples' lifetimes. Its basis was in their memories. From that point on, it was doing its own thing.Quote:

For that matter, by your argument, Valefor could never do anything when Yuna summons her except something that its Fayth remembers. It couldn't learn new Spells or attack in a different way or any such thing.
And, once again, there's no reason for such a thing to happen, mustless a suggestion for it.
We don't have reason to believe that things work that way, either. We see the Spirit Energy of Tidus' mother on the Farplane. Remember, these people are real. They're not just projected fabrications. They are Pyreflies that have coalesced into living beings.Quote:

X-2 is loaded with depth and detail, but people generally prefer to overlook it because it's not woven into the plot the same way as it is in other FF titles. Besides, it's easier for people to say, "this game has no plot and it's crap!" rather than "this game's plot is complicated and I don't understand all of it".Quote:

While yeah I played it off a roomies ps2 and never really got far, it seemed to me when you used a sphere you actually took in a persons memories or aditudes. As it states in the begining when yuna dances. Its like a combonation of GF and Materia (Lifeforce and memories) ?
Anywho, So my guess would be that the spheres were all created by faiyth, and used to document themselves.
I would guess that Tidus had an extremley different story than the rest of the faiyth as at the end of FFX he is revived. I never really did delved into the symbolism of ten that much unforunatley. But this thread kinda got me the urge to buckle down and buy my own ps2. :) er wait and get the 3.. gr hum....
(ramble ramble)

That's basically it, yeah. Whenever a character uses a sphere and gains new abilities, they're embodying someone else's traits. Yuna just got more of an effect from the Songstress sphere because of her similarities to Lenne, and because she used the sphere for a long time - e.g. wearing it into bed.Quote:

Here's my current take on the matter of Tidus and Shuyin. I intend to refine certain ideas for increased clarity in the near future, though.
Maybe the game doesn't clarify the connection between shuyin and tidus because there really isn't any connection between them other than that they look alike and giving yuna a reason to join riku.Quote:
