The main character of one Final Fantasy suddenly is the main character in another!

[Mr. Carnelian]

FFX-2 Yuna in FFX. In my mind, there's sufficient difference between Yuna in the two games for X-2 Yuna to be considered a different character. Here's what the main differences would be.

1) Rather than wasting time with the whole "Defeat Sin, but only for ten years" schtick, she'd unify the disparate groups with an epic outdoor concert and lead the charge against Sin. The Al Bhed would never have been sneak-attacked, so they'd have all kinds of epic tech to back up the airship. Yuna and co. would infiltrate Sin just like in normal X, kill Tidus's deadbeat dad, and kill Yu Yevon. The End.

2) X-2 Yuna would not put up with any of Seymour's bulltrout. He'd have been shot in the face WELL before the wedding.


Serah from XIII-2 in XIII. My reasoning here is fairly similar: I think that XIII-2 and XIII Serah are sufficiently distinct from each other to be considered as separate characters.

1) XIII-2 Serah would not have wasted the whole of the game just sitting there as a crystal. She'd have DONE something.

2) I get the feeling that Serah would have ended up being part of Ragnarok, what with her whole "I knew going in that I was probably going to die" thing.


Balthier from FFXII (I know that TECHNICALLY Vaan is the main character of XII, but it's an ensemble piece, so they're all main characters) in FFXIII-2.

1) Balthier is cool. Time travel is cool. Cool+cool=very cool

2) Balthier would totally abuse the privilege of time travel for monetary gain. Stealing valuable relics from the past and selling them to the future, stuff like that.
