How much better this game would have been if there was no X-2?

[Nifleheim7]

First of all,i must say that i'm only speaking about story and characters and not about the gameplay.

I'm glad that (SPOILER)Tidus and Yuna met again in FFX-2, but except for that, I never really liked the idea of a sequel.

I don't know but for me that didn't felt right.
(SPOILER)The way Tidus returned wasn't very convincing,and the "happy" westernized ending of leaving happily ever after (propably with a dozen of kids) destroyed all the tension and drama FFX created in it's final moments.

X-2? X-2!?


Never heard of it.

It doesnt exist


You're all imagining things. All of you!

Lol,as hard as we may try it unfortunately exists and we have to live with it

I thought the game cleared up alot of loose ends about Spira and about character development

You mean X-2 cleared some loose ends of X?If so,which ones?
I don't think that FFX left any loose ends at least any that were crucial to the main story.
Sorry,but i don't quite understand your post.

X-2 never really spoiled any facets of FFX for me really, partly because I never saw Rikku or Yuna as respectable. Nor Tidus as legendary, for that matter.

When i said respectable and legendary i meant from the point of view of the people of Spira.I imagine them thinking of Tidus as a great blitzball player (that came out of nowhere) who became a guardian and risked his life to protect the summoner and eventually the whole people of Spira only to completely dissapear right after he saved them.I think this creates an aura of mystery and in the eyes of the people it makes him look legendary.Actually it's almost the same with Auron as well except that he was known before.
As for Yuna the way i see it,if there was no X-2,i would have assumed that she would have continued her life probably as a politician (or some other humanitarian proffesion) and helped to rebuild Spira.And judging from her character in FFX i don't think she would have ever tried to marry or start another relationship.
