Final Fantasy X-2 was the first video game sequel to a Final Fantasy game, but Square actually planned for there to be two games, as opposed to one. The first was meant to be focussed on Yuna, with the second focussed on Rikku.

    You can tell the development team really loved Rikku. Even though the game really focuses on the back lore of Paine, Rikku's actions during her time without Yuna are mentioned all throughout it. I think the most telling is that she clearly had a love interest with Gippal, and it's very clear in ffx2 that he ended up really falling into wanting to pursue her again despite being the reason they broke up. They added a lot of hints to Rikku's effect in the world of Spira. Her design change was also the most drastic, and they used her as a secondary cover girl for the series advertisements. And then again with her return in the last mission once again bringing more world lore. It would've been nice to see them give her more spotlight since she is so loved... but I get that story wise, she would have overshadowed Yuna because she's far more dynamic. They do this to Vanille in ff13 as well...😢

    The rare scene between Rikku and Yuna ontop of the airship in X2 proves that as yuna promised to at it’d be Rikku’s story next. And that it’s her turn. As “it’s not about me anymore.

Give it the Halo 2 treatment where it switches between two protagonists on opposite sides each learning a worldview shattering truth. They'll need to develop the Bevelle faction more heavily to do that. The origins of Sin, Dream Zanarkand, and Yevon etc. Same for Vegnagun. Then give it an FF7 Crisis Core & Halo Reach type vibe of noble tragedy, doomed inevitability and massive foreshadowing etc. Done right they could make it able to be played independently and be a hook point into the FFX series.

    All it really needed was giving Rikku a big objective similar to what Yuna was up to. but Yuna's was... pretty phenomenal. She pretty much breaks the universe to restore Tidus to life. What would Rikku have to compare to that??? I did notice hints of this in the story though. Certain parts of the story of the game we did get have Rikku as the main driving force of a mission. Also the entire mission structure itself in FFX-2 seems designed to make the game modular so they can swap out parts more easily.

The cheesy little girl vibe is shit, and weird considering it’s a main line title.. Went from probably the best opening sequence in a FF game in X from the start until you get to Besaid, to some weird shit finding out Brother wants to be a girl, Yuna is a Japanese style teen pop star and the games version of Sephiroth/Seymour/Kuja is Leblanc and her “goons”.. In terms of gameplay yeah, the battle system flows which is more engaging and fun.. The dress sphere system was quite cool, one thing X probably could have done differently was it’s levelling and equipment systems even though they’re unique and work, most people obviously prefer a more role based system, but that’s all I can think of.. The mission system is horrible, the chapter system is horrible, the % of completion thing is horrible especially considering a ton of it is tied to pointless trekking to every single area in every chapter to have some pointless conversation or do a pointless and boring thing.. And then you get rewards/endings BASED on wether you wasted all that time.. I was 14 when it released, I got the guide book too, can’t imagine how many people never saw the better endings until years after release either through following guides on the internet or just watching it on KZread or something.. I know the end game of X is a grind, a SERIOUS grind, but it’s all completely optional and not tied to the main game, you generally don’t start the end game until you’ve reached the final save point, the game is done, you’ve seen everything there is to see and you miss out on nothing wether you decide to do the end game or not.. If good gameplay to you is having to sit there for 10 minutes listening to Maechen multiple times throughout the game or watching countless comm spheres countless times or having to read a guide to say the right things to people for the calm lands mission then fine, but I find all that shit more boring.. I try to play through the game once in a blue moon but I just can’t, I get bored, while I can and do play through X once every few years, end game and all.. No disrespect but whenever I see someone saying X-2 is a good game I just automatically assume they’re either female or real life Brothers..

    I loved X-2 since the very beginning when I ran the game for the first time, right after beating X and watching the cutscene in between where you see Yuna about to embark on her next journey. And when I heard that song on the opening credits I felt like I was watching the opening of the second season of a tv series. A purely magical moment 😊

    I remember reading an article in one of those video game magazines back in like 2002 or something that they were going to release alternate versions of FFX one following Rikki and another following Yuna. Seeing the story through their eyes. Then a few years later X-2 came out and was like ok I can see how they got here but wasn’t what I initially thought it was going to be.

    I imagine the gameplay would have been quite similar, with the main difference being cutscenes being different, because Rikku may have gone off to do her own thing and had different experiences. Hopefully they would also give her different gameplay sections as well. Part of me thinks that's an exciting idea, and another part of me is glad they abandoned it, whatever it was like. Maybe if it was a full fledged side-story with nothing in common with Yuna's game, that would have been better.

    X doesn't need a remake. It's been remastered for nearly every existing console already. I have it on ps3, ps4 (honestly don't know why at this point) and Switch. I HAD them on ps2 as their individual games before I sold it lol. It doesn't need to be remade, they'll only be able to add pointless padding and remove elements people love. Or they'll do the FF7 sequel approach of claiming to be a remake while it's actually not. At all. I was suckered in by the first one. It would have been an awesome NEW installment from the series if they reskinned the protagonists.

    I suppose in the Rikku version, it would be canon that Rin was the villain whereas in the Yuna version, it would be Rikku's fault just because that's actually how the 100 percent completion goes because they thought it was too unfair to require Rin villainy to unlock the 'better ending'. In that case, perhaps in the Rikku version it would have been much easier to unlock the Rin villainy outcome.

    She is the better character. Nobody wants to address the fact that Yuna never really makes decisions or life changes for herself BY herself. She's very weak willed in general and although she has a lot of growth it's very ironically main character syndrome and she comes off very coddled cause of everything she has at her disposal. Without Tidus or Rikku she would have never grew as much. Yunas personality in X2 seems like a mixture of natural growth, adopting what she remembered of Tidus personality and Rikkus influence.
