I can't pinpoint why, but the TidusxYuna relationship I feel is
very important to me. Something about them just makes me feel
more interested for them more than any other video game couple.
Maybe it's because they genuinely like each other instead of
'difficult feelings' getting in the way. Maybe it's because of
all the hints that they're falling in love are dropped
everywhere, and while they don't mean much separated, they dig
into our subconscious and make us want to get them together.
Maybe it's just because they look adorable together. Maybe it's
because the scene where they finally get together (Macalania
Lake) made a huge impact on gamers worldwide, not only because
they were the first FF couple that actually had their kiss shown
up close, but because of the buildup to that scene and the way
the FMV was executed. It's just... ahh.
And when you start up X-2, you're not just playing it for the
completion value. You want to see Tidus and Yuna get their happy
ending. You want to reunite them. Even if people hate the
cheesiness of X-2, they still play through it because they want
to get that Good Ending and see Spira's main couple together.
You grow to care about the characters, and considering the fact
that they're really just a mishmash of polygons and binary code,
that's saying a lot.
I think why I and so many others are angry about Tidus and
Yuna's 'break up' in Will, is because it really didn't need to
happen. In X, sure it did. Tidus didn't have a choice to stay in
Spira. X-2 was about finding a way to bring Tidus back home.
Sure, there was this whole 'saving the world again' business,
but the main theme of the game was finding Tidus. That's why
Yuna even became a sphere hunter in the first place.
The rising threat in Will could have easily been triggered by
Tidus' resurrection at the end of X-2, and not because he had
his head blown off and his second resurrection caused the
Farplane to actually realise that something was wrong. This
whole Tidus and Yuna break up thing just feels like a forced
ploy to add more melodrama. Yuna could have just easily gone,
'I'm sorry, but I must do this on my own. I can't risk losing
you to Sin again. I'm sorry.' instead of lying to Tidus about a
very sensitive subject to both him and herself.
Then again, half of the setups for FFX-3 fanfictions are Tidus
and Yuna being engaged/married, then they find out about some
greater evil plaguing Spira and they get together with their
friends to fight it. The other half is Tidus' and Yuna's kid
along with the other characters' kids getting together to fight
the evil instead. Maybe the writers just wanted to throw some
unpredictability in there, since they know that there's dozens
of FFX-3 fanfictions that all largely follow the same setup.

Although, I've never really giving it much thought, I do like
their relationship and how it was developed and presented
throughout the series so far...
With X focusing on their parting (separation), and X-2 on their
reunion.
If the ending of (a possible) X-3 does focus on their
relationship (it could focus on something/someone else besides
their relationship)
I wonder how it will be presented.
Having them part ways once again, or even reunite as an ending
seems a bit repetitive...
So I thought, maybe they'll both die in the end together, giving
it a bitter but sweet ending, in which they both die, but are
together...
I guess something like love in death....but I guess that was
already portrayed with Lenne and Shuyin...
So I think it might be portrayed differently in the ending...
I think it was their relationship that left a great impact on
the players.
Of course I don't think it was the only thing, but definitely
one of them.

Extremely important. I think their relationship and its
development was my favorite part of FFX and it's the only reason
I tolerated playing through X2. It's the reason why I'm nervous
about FFX-2.5 and the audio drama as well as the possible FFX-3.
I would be really upset if they ended up apart in the end.

This. It's very important man. I will be depressed if they are
not together at the end of X-3 :'( Secondhand heartbreak is a
bad as the real one y'know.

I agree with everything you've said but I want to mention the
bolded point because it's part of what is so irking me about
this novel. KaminaSan's initial summary seems to verify what a
lot of fans have been saying about Yuna's behavior towards Tidus
- that she acts annoyed by him and subsequently cold. Apparently
some deus ex machina locks away her memories, but even before
that she was annoyed by his childishness - to the point of
telling herself that it's something they must work through.
I'm sorry, but that's just a crock of s***. What's so great
about their relationship is that they were instantly drawn to
each other and liked each other as you said. There were no
hurdles to cross in the sense of them getting along, there was
not BS between them or drama. For her to suddenly be displeased
with his personality is absurd and contradictory to the basis of
their relationship - especially after such a short time of being
reunited. It's also important to note that she made a lot of
development in X-2, becoming more of a free spirit who was in
touch with herself. She was allowed to be a young girl for the
first time without the world on her shoulders. But now, it's
like none of that mattered. Is Last Mission even being taken
into account at all? She seemed to enjoy every second with him
and wanted time to stand still for them, and she boasted about
being in the company of someone so passionate.
Tidus and Yuna mean a lot to me as a couple, and I'm truly
saddened at what Square Enix has done here.

Agree 100%
I cant see FFX-3 ruining their relationship...Its simply to
important and a big part of the FFX world i can see Drama being
a main factor in their relationship and the story for FFX-3
especially with the way FF-2.5 and the audio drama is going but
they cant ruin their relationship they just cant :-\

I'm not sure if I'm being extremely paranoid here or what but I
fear SE could uncanon this just to make X-2.5 possible.
Instead of 'Yuna is living happily ever after with Tidus 3
months after X-2' we could be seeing 'Yuna seems to not enjoy to
be in the company of Tidus and his childishness a few months
after X-2'
But since we don't know the exact timeline of X-2.5 so I hope
this isn't the case...

Ok, I just happened to watch the latest Last Mission cutscenes
from FFX-2 HD and when I compared the latest cutscenes with the
translated Last Mission cutscenes posted years ago...
Floor 30 from the supposed video mentioning Yuna's life with
Tidus after X-2, posted in 2009
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QESF_yfs-A4#t=173
--------
Rikku: What?
Yuna: Don't you find it magical?
Yuna: I've been away from Besaid too long now. I wonder if
he's watching the
same sunset...
Rikku: The same......huh?
Yuna: But you know, even though we watch the same things,
everyday, it's with
a new perspective.
Rikku: Is that sooo?
Yuna: It's just that......nowadays, it hurts to be away from
him.
Rikku: Ooohhhhh......
Paine: So, Yuna, you're still in Besaid?
Rikku: Yup yup! But after a while, I know she'll get tired of
it and return
to the Gullwings!
Yuna: That's not going to happen!
Yuna: Those time when he was gone, my life was so mixed up and
lonely.
Yuna: But it all changed in that moment when we came flying
back to the
island......
Floor 30 from the video posted in 2014, the Japanese phrases
sound the same like in the video above
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PgV20RVOrw
--------
Rikku: What is it?
Yuna: It's strange, don't you think?
Yuna: We're so far from Besaid, but the sunset looks the same
Rikku: Hmm, yeah. The same... Well I guess you're right
Yuna: But even though it looks the same things, it actually
changes everyday
Rikku: Is does?
Yuna: It's just something I've been thinking recently.
Rikku: Hmm...
Paine: So, you've been staying at Besaid?
Rikku: Yeah, she has. She's totally gone back to her life
before she joined the Gullwings.
Yuna: That's not true at all!
Yuna: Back then I was only thinking of someone I had lost.
Yuna: I wanted a change from all that so I left the island.
-------
As much as I hate to say it but it seems the translated bits of
Last Mission (Yuna living with Tidus, cooking for him etc)
posted on GameFAQ and on the old videos were inaccurate. Anyone
can confirm this?
