"Crazy, indeed! But this is not all FFX-2 has got up its sleeve. What happens when you put a lot of extra content in a game that is designed around side-quests?
That thing about Vegnagun and the whole Shuyin / Lenne romance? I’ve got better stuff to talk about!"
As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.
If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.
The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3
Nope

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously
"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"
Thank God anyway
It's better when each FF is a different Universe
Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

I thought they said that was just a joke:
―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”
―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”
―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.
@Snookies12
Easter eggs man nothing more
Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected
I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day
Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.
I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo
I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark
Okay didn’t see others already said it
technically, they already do. in form of a novel and audio thing.
but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.
not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.
Sorry for the spoiler if true
Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.
The franchise had been built around each game being an entirely original and unique experience. But that all changed in 2003.
I remember X2 as the game that birthed the idea in Square that FF13 parts 1-3 and the disastrous FF 13 Versus....I mean FF15 were great ideas. Hooray for continuations paying off wildly to the point of almost not existing.
The attempt to make side stories to mainline FF games was another lazy idea by SE to maximise profits while expending fewer resources.
FFX-2 was a good game and I liked the combat system it didn't have the replayability of prior mainline titles. The comedic nature of the characters and story meant I didn't feel as invested in the game world.
The problem with 13 was actually that it was ported to the 360. Tons of ideas and content had to be scrapped to make room for the game on the 360 which required 3 discs, while the PS3 required only one disc. The battle system had things missing that were in the original trailers too. I tried to like the game when it came out, but I was disappointed and stopped playing around halfway through.
Is N4G trying to astro-turf themselves against all of the current SE hate? Seems like there's a lot of "SE GOOD" posts today in the wake of the Symbiogenesis noise.
Total worldwide shipments and digital sales for the Final Fantasy X series, which includes Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2, have surpassed 20.8 million units as of September 2021.
In October 2013, Square Enix announced that the series had sold over 14 million copies. Since this was before the initial release of Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster, it can be assumed that the remastered collection makes up the additional 6.8 million units.
Remake pleaseeeeee!
Keep the game exactly the same just give me next gen graphics!!
That's all well and good, but I'm more interested in this aspect of it.

I'm also pissed that Toriyama changed FFX-2 from what it was supposed to be (a prequel with Braska, Auron, and Jecht) to FF Charlie's Angels because he felt the prequel was too traditional. People were begging for that prequel Toriyama. Just another example of SE not listening.
lmao you guys are seriously funny! i lol'd at every comment. Like it is pathetic us fans would play 10+ year old games than the new ones, the characters downright suc, Lightning? really. She is horrible Sadly 13-2 was better than 13 SMH! LOL But on topic, i actually loved 10-2 we got to see the aftermath ya know the dress spears was pretty neat, combat was classic, :-)
