This was what I was going to say. If done like this I could get into it for sure, but any other way and I'll be skeptical.
Everyone says how much they love this idea, but I just don't see the reason for a prequel about another pilgrimage.

We all already know what happened on Braska's pilgrimage: Braska and Auron find Jecht imprisoned, and despite Auron's reluctance for Jecht to join them, the trio then sets off for Zanarkand, with Jecht learning about Spira, its people, and its customs along the journey, just as Tidus does ten years later. Jecht sacrifices himself for Braska and becomes his final aeon, partly because he doesn't see a way to get back to Dream Zanarkand, effectively leaving him stuck in Spira. Throughout FFX, Braska's pilgrimage is referenced and detailed several times (via all of the Jecht spheres, certain dialog in various points throughout the game, and in the confrontation with Yunalesca) and there weren't really any loose ends that could be tied up by or otherwise merit a whole game dedicated to this arguably futile pilgrimage.

We've already been on a heartbreaking pilgrimage, and I'd like to do something else in the next FFX installment; maybe something that doesn't involve seeing all the protagonists die at the end. That being said, it would be cool if the aeons could somehow make a reappearance in FFX-3, like if (SPOILER)they could be "called" (as opposed to summoned) in the same way that Sin is, as revealed by the audio drama.
