    It crushed my soul. And then there was no conclusion to the crushing.

    The end.

    It's a whole bunch of plot development with no rhyme or reason, with such a lack of explanations that it feels unreal. I believe they *could* salvage this if they actually, you know, explained what the hell is going on, but they say they have no plans to. Yeah, right, that's why you created this confusing and outside of context downright nonsensical extra plot line. Sure.

    But besides the fact that it begs an explanation, I can't really complain. It's just... not finished yet.

    I haven't listened yet but I know the basic synopsis. I'll get around to it when I delve into the game more.

    Nope



    Something about a break-up or something. Just going to ignore it, even if canon.

    Not yet. I'm doing everything in order. I'm still on X right now xD It's only downhill from there!

    Infuriated is right. It cheapens the rest of the story preceding it.

    I have to ask myself, why? What was the point of this? There is two major things that bug me about the audio drama, and I wish I hadn't looked at it.

    (SPOILER)1. It makes the first two games half pointless. Sin comes back. If it wasn't for the Tidus/Yuna backstory we might as well have started here with FFX.

    2. Tidus & Yuna themselves. It makes me disappointed that a great couple are tarnished and instead of living happily ever after and bringing closure to a story, they open it all over again, only to ask more questions. The only explanation I can think of is Yuna is protecting Tidus from something - such as the reason Kygurm (or whatever her name is) felt he was injured.


    One thing though is, it certainly now leaves the door open for a sequel. Why on earth would they release this on the remaster if they were not to act on it? Why alienate your audience like this? I would love to return to Spira and see how the gang are doing but I don't trust Square-Enix anymore to make a good story.

    Simple answer being that they did plan to act on it. The creator of X (I think it was the creator) stated he'd love to make another game and I think the audio drama and book was meant to lead into that.

    But if reports are mean't to be believed in the last 2 months, they are not acting on it? Why leave on a cliffhanger? Just seems all a bit pointless in the end.

    I only remember them saying that there was no sequel in the works now, not that they wouldn't act on it. If I'm wrong it could be a simple matter of jumping the gun. It wouldn't be the first cliffhanger in existence that was left hanging because their plans didn't go through.

    Seems that there's a lack of unity when it comes to decision making.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.
