    All of us knows that there are different ways the player can end the game. They can just let the whole world gets destroyed, let Yuna move on or they can just bring Tidus. Back. One question: Which ending do you think is more appropriate for the game?

    Since everybody seems to hate X-2, I vote let the world be destroyed. That, or let Yuna move on. Bringing Tidus back kinda cheapened X's ending.

    The sad ending. It just doesn't seem right Tidus re-appearing for no reason whatsoever, i'm pretty sure he didn't even know why. I know other FFs has had characters coming back to life (I'm not sure what the proper term would be?), but atleast they had some sort of explanation.

    DX NOOO!! Why destroy Spira?! There are a lot of people who love FFX-2. It may not be great but it is not bad. In other words, it is good. Besides, I am between the good, perfect and sad ending. I mean, it is with the good ending that we are able to know why Tidus was in some water in FFX at the very end. With the sad ending, I always cried on this part. I mean, Yuna will still be able to move on but then when you think about it, if you have the international version, then the sad ending will be pointless because she won't be able to talk about cooking for Tidus and all of that jazz. The perfect ending will just show that they will live happily ever after and Yuna will stand in the same spot that Tidus used to stand at in her pilgrimage.

    Because the only FF game where the world actually gets destroyed is FFVI. We need another game like it.

    Not quite. Just because something isn't bad, that doesn't mean it is good. If X-2 is not great, but it isn't bad (In spite of what I've heard of it), then it is an okay game. Not good, just so-so.

    <.> but the world of FFVI has went back to its original state. FFX-2 don't have to be like that. I assume that FFVII is similar to that with the world partially torn up from the floor up. Also, good can be better than so-so but it is not great. Great, good and average have three separate meanings.

    I am now down to...man. I still don't know what to pick. The sad ending truly makes me cry. Still, don't all of us think that Yuna had moved on anyways due to the ending of FFX and her speech?

    Not so, at least from what I recall. I think the game ended with it still being set in the world of ruin. At least, I don't recall there being a magical fix at the end of the game (and if there was and I forgot it, that's a totally lame way to end it.)

    I've only ever gotten the perfect ending. In some ways I do like it- I have to admit to being a bit of a romantic. But I think the sad ending is the more appropriate. It has the same bittersweet feeling as X's ending did, and I think it sends a better message. I agree with fans who think the good and perfect endings cheapen X's ending- though I also think X-2 in general lessens X. Not that it is a completely irredeemable game, but it is certainly not the best effort S-E has made.

    I think she was certainly on her way, but then X-2 had her chasing after Tidus and basically negated that.

    Also, how was it that he could even come back? At the end of X, didn't Yuna send all of the fayths and Tidus sacrificed his existence so that they could all rest. Why would they decide to start dreaming again? I must have missed when this was all explained or something. The first time I beat X-2 (yeah, I'll admit to beating it more than once), I remember this annoying me, but now I just ignore it like I do all the other terrible stuff about the game (Brother/Yuna incest, anyone?)

    I don't think that Yuna was actually chasing after Tidus. I think that Yuna wanted to find out if the person who was in the sphere was actually him, which only led to her saving Spira once again. I have beaten the game 5-6 times (WHAT?! The game is fun while playing it through different perspective. You can see how it feels to end the game with many variety.) Not only that, in Japan, Yuna was only able to thank him while in our version, she confesses her love for him. It is the japanese version that made sense for having Yuna and Tidus back together.

    As to how Tidus came back, you missed the point from Maechen talking about a possiblity of peopel coming back from the farplane on up. Plus, the fayth said that Tidus is more than a dream, which makes sense since he is still able to whistle at Yuna when she fell into the farplane and was still conscious enough to act as though she is hugging her in the sad ending. Not only that, Bahamut was still powerful enough to even talk to Yuna and the others and tell them that their aeon form was still usable because of Shuyin controlling them. The fayth didn't dream again. If they did, then Tidus and the dream Zanarkand would have been back. The fayth are the only ones who have the power to create a dream of the fayth so they are capable of bringing back Tidus.

    ??? Now that I think about it, I think that it is nice for Tidus and Yuna to be back together. After going back through this, I can see many reasons why Tidus should not be brought back and should be brought back. To me, I think that Yuna and Tidus was better off with the perfect ending. No way to even come back with a X-3 at all. Just end their life together right there (Or if you have the international version, the Gullwings sharing their friendship on top of the tower) right there.

    Tidus was never sent to the Farplane. There was that once scene when Yuna is in the Farplane, but Tidus was never sent. He didn't go away like Auron did either. Being a dream, he just disappeared, like all of Dream Zanarkand. The Fayth saying Tidus is more than a dream is because of the things he did.

    No duh. I never did say that he was sent to the farplane. He did belonged there for a little while but I never did said that he weas sent. More like Lord Jyscal if you will but through a different event.

    I can't even remember which ending I got now...

    I do remember seeing Tidus swim up through water at one point, but I thought that was at the end of FFX.

    Oh well.

    And that is her chasing after him.
    What now?

    Except that Tidus is back.

    I was going to write a more detailed response to this whole point you made, but I don't think I have to. Bringing Tidus back was a cop-out and poor storytelling. They wrote themselves into a corner by killing him off, then had to scramble to find a plausible way to justify bringing him back. I've played this game through somewhere around 3 times (not counting the times I've started a game and played towards the end and got bored with it and quit), and I've yet to be convinced of all this.

    I'm not sure about that. He did end up in the same place as Braska, Auron, and Jecht at the end of X. I kinda assumed that was representative of the Farplane. He should have just simply disappeared like the rest of the dream people, but I think Summoner is right that Tidus and Jecht became something more than just dreams. I think when they crossed over into the real world, something changed about them, they became more substantial, or something. But I don't suppose it really matters either way.
