       I've seen a few predictions here of how (a possible) X-3 might
       end based on what has been revealed so far from the novel and
       the audio drama. I did put a brief prediction in another thread,
       in which I thought maybe both Tidus and Yuna might die, since in
       x they had a separation, and in X-2 a reunion, so repeating
       these would be a bit pointless...This way if they both die they
       can be together in death...love in death...but then I realized
       this would also be a theme that was already cover through Shuyin
       and Lenne...so such an ending might not happen. Looking at the
       information reveal both in the novel (about the method the 2
       summoners use to create a beast core) and a new "summoner"
       introduce in the audio drama, and how both Yuna and Kurugum left
       to fight Sin, I wouldn't doubt it that they will use this method
       to create a beast core, in which Yuna would become the summon
       and Kurugum the summoner. Not only will the beast core be use to
       defeat Sin or whoever the final boss will be, but since beast
       cores can pretty much summon anything (sorry not sure if I
       understood this information correctly), Kurugum/Yuna just might
       bring Dream Zanarkand back so her and Tidus can go live
       there....I know this is a completely crazy prediction. Such an
       ending might be bitter-sweet in my opinion, but personally I
       prefer something like this than a happy ending like the good
       ending from X-2, and it's not because I didn't like the ending
       but because I don't want to see a similar ending again.
       [quote=from: TresDias]Bahamut's fayth wasn't part of the
       dreaming used to summon Dream Zanarkand. He just provides the
       Bahamut aeon. The fayth can see into one another's dreams,
       though. That's how he and the fayth of Valefor, Ixion, etc. knew
       of Dream Zanarkand, why it existed, etc. According to the
       Ultimania Omega for FFX, the fayth of Yuna's aeons would go hang
       out around Dream Zanarkand. Things were fine and dandy as far as
       they were concerned until Jecht becoming Sin made them realize
       how fucked up it all was.[/quote]
       I don't remember where I read this (this forum or elsewhere) or
       if it was even correct, but I thought that the fayth could only
       summon the Aeons, so wouldn't this mean Bahamut's fayth can only
       summon the aeon of Bahamut? How can the fayth of Bahamut
       summon/bring back Tidus? I would understand if it was a beast
       core (if I'm understanding the information correctly), because
       it seems they can summon pretty much anything...Could Bahamut be
       a beast core? I don't know why but for the longest time I've
       thought that Bahamut was a stolen fayth/aeon from Zanarkand,
       taken to Bevelle during the war...I don't know why I thought
       that but I was just trying to find info on that and found
       nothing...I guess I must've dreamed it  :-[ Can't wait to play
       the game again, my memory of the game is really foggy at the
       moment.  :D
       I can understand why people are very surprised that Auron MIGHT
       have a daughter (Chuami), especially since it was never
       mentioned in X, however, I can still see it as something
       possible. In X Yuna and Tidus are both 17 and it had been 10
       years since the calm started, so wouldn't that mean that both
       Tidus and Yuna are 7 when Auron, Jecht, and Braska go on their
       pilgrimage? If Yuna is 19 in X-2 and the audio drama takes place
       one year later she would have to be 20. Now, if Chuami is 17,
       that means she is 3 years younger than Yuna, which would mean
       that when Yuna and Tidus were 7, Chuami had to be 4 years old.
       I've also read comments that say Auron would be too young to
       have had a kid, however, looking at his profile in the Final
       Fantasy wiki, it says he is 35 during X, and 25 during Braska's
       pilgrimage. Now if he is 25 in the pilgrimage and has a 4 year
       old kid that means he had the kid when he was 21.  :o Old enough
       to make a baby   8)
       Now if Chuami does turn out to be Auron's daughter, why did he
       never mention it? Well, I think this can be answered when
       looking at Auron's character and the story itself. If I had to
       describe Auron, I would say he is a man of few words, when he
       met up with the party he could have told them what the final
       aeon entailed and that Jecht was Sin...but he didn't until the
       party learned it for themselves. This pilgrimage was about Yuna
       and her guardians, where would his (possible) daughter fit in
       this story...I believe nowhere, hence it would be unnecessary
       for him to mention. In fact don't we learn about Auron through
       other people and the spheres that hold scenes between the trio
       during their journey? (Sorry I'm not sure if I'm remembering the
       game correctly, I want to see youtube videos but I'd rather wait
       until it's release to play and remember the story again, so if
       the information I have given is inaccurate, I apologize). :'(

       moonstone: I think it's probably a good guess that Bahamut's
       fayth originally came from Zanarkand. Given that his fayth was
       installed in the temple at Bevelle, it stands to reason that his
       was one of the oldest, if not the oldest of those still around
       during FFX.
       If he were from Zanarkand, that would also explain his especial
       interest in Dream Zanarkand and Tidus, and why he acts as the
       'representative" for the others, so to speak.
       He's definitely no Beast Core, though. His fayth is a stone
       statue like the others.

       Im so piss off right now, SE announced that they are not going
       to do X-3, they said that the new content (audio drama and
       novella) was only to 'expand' X's universe a little more.
       IF THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO A GAME, WHY THE HELL DID THEY MADE
       RUMORS!?
       They have already mess X with this audio drama and novella, why
       SE?
       Just LEAVE ALONE the story!!!!!
       And thanks for ruin my dream of a good X-3. >:(

       What!? Source, please.
       I guess all the negative backlash just made them revoke their
       decision to make one... which is kinda sad.
       But hey, the audio drama and novella can be seen as non-canon if
       one wishes, so everything's okay! :D
       (assuming the source is legit)
       However, the whole 'Beast Core' thing is pretty neat in my
       opinion, despite the weird name. Of course, it could just be
       used by fanfiction writers as an excuse to bring back Dream
       Zanarkand for their ultimate TidusxYuna fluff. But I'm seeing
       some potential in a story there. The 'sex method' is still kind
       of controversial, but yeah, still some potential. Those
       redesigns of Tidus and Yuna could be either fanservice or their
       'real' looks in the future. Or Nomura just got bored. I have no
       idea why they threw in the whole romance drama bit. Maybe Square
       Enix for some reason, despite the critical acclaim the couple
       has, doesn't really want Tidus and Yuna together. :(
       Also Tidus' near impossible nature, Farplane troubles, long lost
       daughters, all fanfiction material. Hey, maybe Nojima was being
       smart after all! We have to write our own story surrounding
       these events. Kazu, you sneaky son of a shoopuf.
       If you're right, looks like I've been getting all worked up over
       nothing. But for everybody else, I guess they all have a right
       to be angry. Just drop another ambiguous 'ending' with tons of
       questions raised and none answered.
       However, if the source's fake, I'll regret ever posting this.

       If that's true, this forum will sink like a ship. All this
       speculation for naught.
       If any of you have any sources or heresay, please post.
       Truthfully, after all this,
       it'd be pretty disappointing not to see an X-3.

       I know the title says XII, but it also announces that X-3
       project is history :-(
       They even said that XII HD wasnt going to happen, unless fans
       demand it, they have become really meanies, Kitase said he was
       going to consider XII HD (not that i care, i only care for X but
       still, its unfair for fans)
       Internal Medicine Doctor and CrystalOfLies: youre totally right,
       we have been warming up for a game that wont even exist, and
       future of the forum, maybe it'ill go downhill :-(
       I would have like a X-3 :-(

       Don't despair just yet kids. While it might  be a few years off
       I still believe this game has a decent shot of being made. Why?
       Why the hell would SE go through the changes of not only
       re-releasing the game and its sequel in HD, a written novel, and
       a audio drama (which they've gotten the original English voice
       actors for) if they weren't going to make another game. Why
       waste time and money stirring up interest? Like someone at the
       company stated early on "the fans have to demand it". People
       shout loudest for what they can't have and this could very well
       be a marketing strategy. Nobody gives a damn about Lightning;
       people freakin' return copies of FFXIII and FFXIII-2 in droves
       and Square Enix doesn't seem the least bit detoured. This is a
       story however that people are at least invested in.
