Spira had lived in shadow too long to be so accepting of the light.
Interesting point... but I think that the exposure of Yevon's secrets and deceptions would have helped the people to accept that Sin might really be gone.

As for the people of Spira, they managed to make their own despair pretty well: Sin and Yevon are gone, so they plunge toward factional warfare within two years. It's like they're so used to violence and fear that they just can't quit...

X-2 is a fun revisit to Spira, a chance to see how it's changed, how it's remained the same, and to gain a few more insights into its history. An enjoyable game for me, a lively 'coda' to Yuna's story. Not the same kind of epic scope as X, but I don't think that was ever the intention either.
