Good, old fashioned lover boy

With that out of the way, Final Fantasy X-2 takes place two years after Yuna’s fateful journey to defeat Sin. The once chaotic world of Spira has gone through a massive transformation, entering a period of “Eternal Calm.”

Despite the Calm, Yuna’s heart feels empty and longs for her lost love, Tidus. When she obtains a mystical sphere that contains imagery of what might be the Blitzball player she thought was gone forever, Yuna is driven to seek the truth behind what she has seen.

Gotta catch ‘em all

Now that the High Summoner is through with her pilgrimage, she now fills up her days as a sphere hunter. Spheres contain visual recordings of historical events, just like those that you could purchase from the theater in Luca in the first game. Apparently, spheres are now all the rage and everyone wants them.

Nothing to sphere
