Most gamers know that FFX had an extended ending in Japan when Squaresoft releassed FFX International for them. I've got the whole ending, and so I've decided to write a page on it since it helps us understand why there is a sequel to the game. Thanks to PSM for this passage, and you can also find this in the holiday 2002 edition of PSM.
Two years have passed, and Yuna, Wakka and Lulu live on Besaid Island. Yuna's been practicing holding her breath (she's up to 2 minutes, 41 sec.) Wakka (now sporting a pudgy belly) got together with Lulu and they're going to have a baby. Yuna describes this new era of peace as "The Eternal Calm".
Since the defeat of Sin and the downfall of the Yevon Religion, new factions have sprung up to compete all across Spira, groups like "New Yevon" and the "Young person's Alliance". Each is trying to get Yuna's endorsement, since she is revered by the people. However, Yuna is careful to not be "used" by anyone, so she repeatedly refuses to meet with these groups. She spends most of her time meeting common folk who come to the area in droves to get a glimpse of her.
One day, Kimahri (who now teaches Ronso children up on Mt. Gagazet) finds a sphere in the mountains. Upon seeing the vision inside of it, he gives it to Rikku to take to Yuna. With the collapse of Yevon, machina use is becoming widespread all across Spira, and Rikku spends her time teaching people how to use machinas.
Rikku arrives at Besaid and shows the sphere to Yuna. It contains an image of Tidus, trapped in a cage, clamoring to get out. The image is fuzzy; it has an underwater look. He's yelling, asking why he was arrested saying that he had to use the machina to save the summoner. He's demanding to be let out and to see Yuna. Yuna is stunned. Wakka thinks that they should "look into it", without rushing off. Yuna's time is booked for three months, and people will be dissappointed if she skips town. Rikku is furious with Wakka saying that "Yunie" should finally put her own happiness first. Remembering words that Tidus once said to her, Yuna decides to go. Since Yuna is so easily recognized, Rikku gives her some of her new clothess so that she can go undercover, and they set off the cue for Final Fantasy X-2!!
