FFX-2 Endings FAQ

1) How many endings are there?

There are 5 different versions of endings altogether. Apart from the perfect ending, the endings are based on tasks you complete and not your percentage score.

Bad Ending

- Requirements: Don't defeat Vegnagun's head in time/lose in battle against Vegnagun/don't defeat Shuyin before he says seven sentences.

- What happens: (SPOILER): Vegnagun's big cannon fires and Spira is destroyed. You'll then get a Game Over music.



Normal Ending

- Requirements: This is the ending you'll always see just for completing the game, however if you didn't complete other necessary requirements, you'll only see this ending. The other endings are just extra scenes on top of this one.

- What happens: (SPOILER)Gippal, Baralai and Nooj make a speech in Luca. Yuna, Rikku and Paine ride on top of the airship, Yuna accepts she won't see Tidus again.



Normal Ending with extra scene

- Requirements: After you see the "Chapter 5 Complete" message, and Yuna is in the field of flowers (Farplane Abyss) press "X".

- What happens: (SPOILER)In the Farplane Abyss you see Tidus appear and hug Yuna. She tells him she loves him, and he disappears again. (This is just a cut-scene, not an FMV). Then you see the Normal ending as above.



Good ending

- Requirements:
1) Speak to Maechen in Guadosalam in Chapter 3
2) Keep whistling (by pressing X) in the Farplane at the end of Chapter 3, until Tidus' ghost escorts you out of there.
3) Whistle (press X) in the flower field in the Farplane Abyss after completing Chapter 5.

When the Fayth gives you the option choose "Yes".

- What happens: (SPOILER)You see the Normal ending, then a scene with Tidus and Yuna in Besaid.

Note: If you fulfil the criteria for the good ending but when the Fayth appears, you choose the option "It's better this way", you'll only see the Normal ending.



*** Perfect ending ***

- Requirements - Fulfil the requirements for the Good ending and get 100% completion.

- What happens: (SPOILER)You see the Normal ending, Good ending, and then an extra scene with Tidus and Yuna together at the Zanarkand Ruins where Tidus explains why he's back.

2. How do I get 100%?

Use an 100% completion guide. There's one on the frontsite here: http://www.eyesonff.com/ff10-2/walk1.shtml. You can also find other detailed FAQs and walkthroughs at www.gamefaqs.com.

3. I want to see the endings, but I don't want to complete the game! Where can I download them?

www.ffx2.net seems to be dead. So I don't know right now.

Thanks to eternalshiva, Sephiroth1999AD and SeedRankLou for some of this information, and corrections.

That does not have the perfect ending

[Sefie1999AD]

The perfect ending is only a cutscene with in-game graphics. It's not an FMV so that's why it's not in the site Xander mentioned. I've only been able to download the perfect ending in Japanese when I've searched through file sharing programs, and read the script to see what they say in the perfect ending.

I hate to nit-pick, but you can't get the Bad Ending by losing to Shuyin. You get it by getting your party annihilated during the battle against Vegnagun's head (losing to other body parts or Shuyin doesn't trigger the ending) or by taking too long in the battle against Vegnagun's head. If one of those things happen, (SPOILER)Vegnagun's big cannon fires and Spira is destroyed. And you'll get the Game Over music.

EDIT: Just for the sake of clarity, Good Ending version 2 (choosing "It's better this way") is practically the same as the Normal Ending.

[Xander]

Ah, I'm not sure where to get that then. If anyone knows, I'll add it to the FAQ.

Edit- Ah yeah, that explains it. And thanks Sephiroth1999AD. I took that bit from what eternalshiva wrote. I'll fix it now. ^_^

Edit - Changed it to 5 endings, but with a note about the good ending. I haven't seen it so I didn't know if it was a totally different ending or what. Do you think that's okay now? ^_^

[eternalshiva]

There's also a 100% completion guide on the front site Xandy ^_^

Umm... I'm going to test this but I'm pretty sure if you DO NOT defeat Shuyin before he says SEVEN SENTENCES you get the Bad ending, it's a timed battle. I've read that everywhere. I'm going to test it.

[Xander]

Ah, I wasn't sure if it was up yet, I'll link to that then =)

[Sefie1999AD]

eternalshiva: That's interesting. I've never lost to Shuyin, but it would be quite weird for Vegnagun's big cannon to blast off anywhere outside the battle against the head. Before that battle, the cannon hasn't been set up, and after that, the head and the cannon have been destroyed. So even if you lose to Shuyin, Vegnagun is already destroyed by that time.

Xander: Yes, the ending list seems fine now. I think GameFAQs and Square Enix USA's FFX-2 website also had some detailed information about every ending and how to get them.

You are absolutely correct, that's how you do it.

*cough*It's still not fixed*cough*

[eternalshiva]

I wasn't trying to be rude or put you down Sephiroth. He does destroy Spira if you don't beat him before he says his seven sentences. *nods* Same FMV as if the pt was annihalated. I tested it :P

EDIT: You know how ashamed I felt not wipping his ass at lvl 70? :*( On purpose of all things!

EDIT2: Well... SRL I'll see if I can fix it myself now that I have SR. Site Staff priviledges.

[Sefie1999AD]

eternalshiva: Ah, okay. I stand corrected. Does losing to pre-head forms of Vegnagun still get you just the game over thing and no bad ending cutscene, though?

[eternalshiva]

You get the cut scene of the Canon Blast by Vegnagun, destoying Spira if you die battling him. Any other deaths before the Vegnagun fight, you just get The End theme. But if killed while fighting VG, you get the cutscene. :P

[Xander]

Okay, kinda confused now but I changed it again, is that pretty much right now? ^_^;;

[Sefie1999AD]

I don't have an idea since I'm also getting confused. Maybe you could just change it to something simple like "lose the final battle"?

I got 92% and I still got the Perfect Ending.... maybe it has something to do with the fact that it was under a New Game Plus....... o well.....
