Oh, I considered that. The country the Redwings were from was never actually mentioned by name, but in all likelyhood that country and possibly the Redwings themselves would show up in the game. Sure, the Redwing's boss was destroyed, but I doubt that will be enough to stop them for good.

One of the things I hated about X-2 was the way the plot felt added on. There was no mention of Vegnagun at all in the original, and the two plots weren't even really that consistent with each other. They were two totally unrelated stories just stuck together. The search for Tidus was the only part which made any real sense, because Tidus had disappeared, but I'm sure that if Yuna thought there was a chance she could get him back, she'd take it.

That was why, when I began planning this, I made sure the plots were consistent and fitted in with each other. And it worked. While there may be a big change in the attitude, the storyline flows perfectly from the facts we were given in the original game. Once I had that all worked out, it was too awesome an idea to just let it go, so I began working it into an entire game concept. Unfortunately, Square-Enix holds all the copyrights (not to mention the resources to make the game), and I doubt they'll take my suggestion, but I'll certainly offer it, if I can find a way to.

As for bringing Mewt back, I'm opposed to that idea. It was stated quite clearly that Mewt left Ivalice, so bringing him back would bring up consistency issues, which I have been trying to avoid. Also, his story has quite clearly ended. He has come to terms with his mother's death, and is moving on in the "real" world. So, to bring him back, I would have to have a reason to bring him back, and a way to bring him back. It would be possible, but difficult, especially since I don't think it would add to much to the game. Llednar would difficult, since he was clearly there just as Mewt's guardian and had no additional purpose or storyline. Also, since we saw him turn to stone and shatter, there would be some continuity issues with bringing him back, rather like the way the Aeon's came back in X-2. It wasn't explained, didn't make sense, and didn't add a whole lot to the story. So I'd just rather leave him out.

Of course, we do need interesting and compelling villains, and probably a couple new good guys too, but I don't think bringing back Mewt, Remedi, or Llednar would work for that.
