SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Ok. I am a little foggy on the ending, but I do remember the basics of it. I just started this game again a week ago, and I am trying to get the sphere grid full and all the sidequest 100% complete, but i am near the end, so it is still fresh on my mind. One thing I can say is it would have been deeper and had a much more powerful of an impact on me if Yuna would have died.

Okay I know a lot of ppl who read this is going like "wtf?" right about now, but let me explain. I never cared for Tidus too much, partially because the English voice actor sounded obnoxiously annoying, especially in battles. He was never that likable of a character but the whole "he's just a fayth's dream" I never understood or cared for that explanation. It just didn't make sense to me. He keeps saying near the end "This is my story" since when silly? You're just one of Yuna's guardians. Of course he's the narrator, but for him to say that out loud to the rest of the party was just ridiculous. If it's anyone's story then it would be Yuna's story. I didn't mind Tidus fading away because I didn't even like the character to begin with.

On the first time through the game you keep thinking she is going to die and the closer you get to Zanarkan the sadder it gets and the music on top of it is just a tear jerker as you know its inevitable, but then the impossible happens and Tidus is just a dream since the beginning and Yuna doesn't have to make a sacrifice after all.

I actually grew to like Yuna and understand her character. It made me sad when I thought she was about to die. If it would have happened i might have cried, and that's why I think it would have been a better ending if she did make the ultimate sacrifice for the good of Spira. It would have been bitter-sweet, heart breaking and yet perfect imo. I know most will disagree, but I'm a sucker for sad endings and FFX's ending could have been so much better.
