DKC3 was the true sequel. DKCR returned to using Diddy and DK as the main characters but that game wasn't made by Rare like DK3 was. It was a platformer like them, but more like the Mario games tbh.

DKC3 was alright, but nowhere near as good as 2 was. 2 also had the best music and overall level design IMO.

I can understand why people didn't like FFX-2, but I enjoyed it for what it was. The battle system was definitely cool and I liked playing an all-female cast, and having the opportunity to reunite Yuna with Tidus. And, while I love Yuna, Paine quickly became a new favorite character. She's so badass.

I think a lot of people disliked the game because the clothing and the hair styles were even more wacky than the first game (I'm looking at you Nooj). It also probably felt too girly for some guys, especially with the dresspheres mimicking "girly," and wacky, fashion changes. The behavior of YRP was all very cutesy and cheesy, which I can't remember if I disliked that or not, since I played this game more than ten years ago. I recall enjoying the game overall, but not feeling fulfilled. Probably because I never completed the game correctly to get the best ending.

Furthermore, I might have felt disconnected from the game because I didn't fully understand the storyline. It felt more laid-back and less emotional. It may not have been clear, but after reading some posts, it's actually a pretty good and clever storyline. Here is a quote to better understand it, from this forum: http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/th...dus-and-Shuyin

Tidus isn't real. He never was real, never could be real, never intended to be real. He was a dream of the fayth, that's explained simple enough in the game, but presumably a person from Zanarkand 1000 year's past. Because of Shuyin, and Tidus' lack of realness, it is very easy and safe to assume that Tidus is the dream of Shuyin.

Dream Zanarkand: Dream Zanarkand is a place, preserved in time at the peak of it's perfection. It doesn't enter an endless loop of the fayth reliving their lives, it's in a constant state of how it was before Sin attacked. That's why Tidus has memories of his mother, of himself as a child, of his father. At one point he was 'born' and 'lived' in Dream Zanarkand, like any normal person would. This can also be assumed that he lived Shuyin's life, however there isn't any direct tie to Shuyin, Jecht and Tidus' mother. (However, when you DO battle Shuyin on Vegnagun and voices of the past speak to you, Jecht mentions Shuyin being a crybaby, which instigates that maybe he was his father, or, a dream of who his father was.)

While Dream Zanarkand's people aren't real themselves, it IS a very real location. Yu Yevon surrounded the city with walls of water, an illusion so that people in the ocean wouldn't see the city there. That's why Tidus appears out of nowhere when Rikku finds him. The City is located/hidden near Baaj Temple. And because they don't see the city there, Rikku and them assume that Tidus had traveled from Zanarkand back in time, when REALITY he hadn't traveled through time at all, he just broke through the barriers, broken by Sin when it attacked.

Sin was crafted by Yu Yevon to protect Dream Zanarkand, to protect his dream city. 10 years prior, Jecht wanders too far out to sea and Sin and he encounter. This is the link that allows Sin to enter Dream Zanarkand later. Dream Zanarkand could have lived many years peacefully, never being interrupted. But because Jecht was the new Sin, he knew it's location, and with Auron's help, a fellow fayth, they brought Sin back to Dream Zanarkand, and pulled Tidus from it.

Shuyin and Lenne were very real people and a part of the fray when Sin was born between the battle of Bevelle and Zanarkand. Shuyin's just a poor shmuck who loved his girl and didn't want to see her die, so he did whatever he could to save her. However, because he was an unsent through his anger and his sorrow, he was very close to becoming a fiend. That's what the fiends in FFX are anyway, unsent who don't accept their death. Shuyin, unaccepting it, to prevent from becoming a fiend, stilled his soul in a cavern and possessed people who came through. This preserved his soul.

Lenne's soul was preserved in a sphere, her dresssphere. This is obvious, and easily explained in the game. But why weren't they recreated in Dream Zanarkand? Because their souls remained in two different places.. Shuyin's in the Den of Woe, and Lenne's in a dresssphere. If they were released or accepted death, they could have been recreated. However, they weren't.

Because Tidus was nothing more than a dream of a person from long ago, irrelevant to his place in the timeline of Dream Zanarkand, it's 99% likely he is the Dream Version of Shuyin, who once was, a real person. However he's not a direct immitation, he is merely a shadow of Shuyin, not a direct carbon-copy.

True fact, yo. X-2 has a wonderful battlesystem and a super silly and fun albeit forgettable story. Shame about all the bullshit they put in it to try and sell guides, though. Or how the writer just decided that VII is infact a distant sequel to X because he threw in a character named Shinra. I wish I was ****ing kidding.

From Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega:[1]

"Shinra is a boy who supports the Gullwings, the group which the main protagonist, Yuna, belongs to. He carries a name that gives him an association to the Shin-Ra Company, and he is researching a method that could utilize the energy of "the life force that flows through our planet." The results of this cannot be seen in FFX-2, but maybe one day his descendants will establish a "company that supplies the energy of the planet"?"

In the Final Fantasy X-2 Ultimania Kazushige Nojima said the following:[1]

"After quitting the Gullwings, Shinra received enormous financial support from Rin, and began trying to use Vegnagun to siphon Mako Energy from the Farplane. But, he is unable to complete the system for utilizing this energy in his generation, and in the future, when traveling to distant planets becomes possible, the Shin-Ra Company is founded on another world, or something like that....... That would happen about 1000 years after this story, I think."
