I would disagree about about Sin looking the same. The maester said Yevon uses the aeon as unholy armor and we saw him jump at the end of FFX. Maybe each incarnation picks up something from the last? Yu Yevon learning from the defeats
Plus i dont give a fucc about what happens to Tidus or Yuna after X 2 happy ending they live happily ever after what ever close that story and show us braska some of yunas mom and shit like fr X 3 should show us a little about braska befor auron and jecht
dansg08 would u ever do a xenoblade chronicles play through? The definitive edition is coming out on the switch this year and it’s a game ppl really love! It’s long tho and there is a lot to it
Braska, Auron and Jecht, the most asked for prequel for any game within Final Fantasy, ever! And they didn’t listen to their fans, instead, they made a sequel no one wanted and not many even like 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Love the idea of X-3 as a prequel, but we need to go further back. The first war, the first pilgrimage, the first pilgrimage where Yunalesca told them someone has to die. Let's go back to some of those lost temples before they were lost. So much backstory to play with that doesn't involve established characters.
@@agipson101 So Sin was meditating and Jecht got too close... some inexplicable accident. But with Tidus it had to destroy Zanarkand to bring him to Spira.
Give us the war between Bevelle and Zanarkand. A world full of machina cities, but in places we already are familiar with, a grand plot of war and secrecy, the great Yevon in the flesh, and a bunch of new heroes. Maybe a little Shujin cameo on top. A refined sphere grid. And a metric megaton of post game. It would be glorious.
There is a great fanfiction out there bu renmiri i believe and it has like a dozen chapters rich full of details and it really gives yevon and others a clearcut personality and history which makes them lovable. But it focused on yunalesca but before that, the main reason bevelle attacked zanarkand. It was this outside force.. will not say much until you all read it. Also gives history of guado and ronso too. Both actually had their own planets but FOR AGES the transport systems that used to be there were destroyed way in the past if i recall correctly. Its amazing. Even has yojimbo as a respectable awesome auron like character. Alot cooler too actually and even gets into his death and even his awesome dog who you see when he is an aeon too.
I'd rather see they make a prequel about the war between Bevelle and Zanarkand, leading up to the creation of Sin. Thus giving us more backstory to Yu Yevon, Yunalesca and Zaon. It would also be a good way to present the establishment of the temples, I think- as well as digging deeper into the history of pre-Sin Spira.
I read that Kitase-san wanted to have Dream Zanarkand be more explorable in X. If they did a prequel, it would be cool to play as Jecht and be able to see more of Zanarkand in the beginning of the game.
I think the dynamic between the 3 characters is what would make FFX-0 great, and instead of being from the perspective of Jecht, I would personally find it more interesting if it was from Auron's. He transforms just as much as Jecht, but he has so much more invested and learned, and being in his head as a more angry and outspoken as a younger person is interesting to see compared to the calm badass we know and love in X. Plus, it helps he sees the whole story. He even meets little Yuna and Kimahri before meeting his end. It would definitely be a bittersweet ending, but it would be kind of nice to see him defy his death to fulfill his promise to look after Tidus in a post-credit scene or maybe a secret ending. Dammit, I'm once again dreaming about a game that will never happen...
Boyzby I was literally just thinking that. All this time I’ve always thought a prequel story would mirror the first game and give us the foreign Jehct exploring the new world of Spira like his son after him. But they would actually have a lot more room for expansion if it followed from the viewpoint of Auron as the main character. It could give us a lot more development on Auron’s backstory by starting from a point before all of his drama with the church happened. Hell, they could avoid the issue of the boring repeated adventure if they added some crazy political plot point like having some faction of the church hatching a new dangerous scheme to try and eliminate Sin.
I'd LOVE a prequel X-3 just for the character development alone. Also!! Baby Yuna 😭 You said my thoughts exactly on gameplay. People want to say turn based JRPGs are dead but look at how well games like Persona 5 have done in the last 3 years. There's still an audience for battle designs like this and it could be a good opportunity to bring it back to final fantasy.
i played 7-10 and loved them. liked 12s story art design and big cities but hated the combat system and 13 was the last one i played. ive just bought 7-10 remastered and this seems will be the only FFs i ever own now. FF7 to me is the best and the ff7 remake is a complete clusterfuck. I have no faith in them anymore. If we got a Bevelle vs Zanarkand prequel i'll be on board if the combat system isnt like the new games
I'm definitely a prequel person, and I think there is alot they can do from there. That being said, I really hope it is witht he old battle system, as I am not a fan of the quickly paced battle systems of today, but that is personal preference. Great video!
I have a crazy idea that maybe would work, I'd love a FFX-0 as much as the next guy, but, Imagine a FFX3 set a 1000 years in the future. Due to the Eternal Calm people now believe that the whole Summoner, Sin and Fayts are nothing more than Legends, but somehow someone (BBEG) finds out the truth and learn how to create Fayths again, and the story could develop from there.
Wow. I thought I was alone in wanting this. I spoke on stream from time to time about how amazing X-0 could be, but I never thought I was reaching a receptive audience. I even called it X-0 as well. It feels really, really good to know that I wasn't alone, that others shared the idea and came to it separately on their own. Thank you very much for making this video.
Also, well I'm at it, on the topic of battle systems, I started Final Fantasy with Mystic Quest, I think? But went from there to FF Iv (Then called FF II for SNES) and played all of them after that. So FFX was not my first game in the series at all. Of all of them, X's battle system is the peak of the Final Fantasy battle system for me as a whole. So I think your fondness for CTB is not only due to it being your first. It was also just a really good system with no real waiting.
i would love to play this game regardless of where ever they go with it but i want the game to have the same feel as ffx. i want the same battle system too
Great thoughts, both about story and gameplay. From a story standpoint, I think the Braska pilgramage would work despite having a story we know. We knew what was coming at the end of FFVII Crisis Core with Zach, but still had a strong story leading up to it. I agree there is a lot of opportunity for character development, and if done correctly, it can leave a strong impact like with Noctis and crew in FFXV. I feel the character relationships between them were the strongest in the game. I say bring on the prequel, and with today's technology, exploring spira will be big, fresh, and new...or they could do it movie style, like Advent Children and Kinsglave...
(Might double post...sorry. haven't finished the video yet) I wouldn't mind a prequel but they can add a few things That can expand on the story. Guest characters. - After playing FF12 for the 2nd time recently(haven't finished yet), I think they can add parts that you team up with Seymour and his Mom as "guest". Playing with Larsa in the party gave me the idea. - Another Guest character could be Kimhari (young and with a horn) - Nooj (uninjured) could join as another guest - After beating Sin. You can use Kimari (main) again and escort young Yuna to Besaid Island. Yuna only knows, Attack, Cure, and life. Her limit break is Mighty Guard. - Kinnoc could join as a guest character with Auron at some point. - Continue to play as Auron as he find a way to ride Sin to Dream Zanarkand. Speaks to Belgamine and Machaen and find out more information about Sin. - Time skip...Sin Reappears. Nooj, Belgamine, and some Al-bed helps you (Auron) to find Sinspawns to lure Sin to the Calm Lands. They are unaware that Auron is unsent and trying to get to Zanarkand. - Final Battle is against Sin. Belgamine reveals that she has the Magnus Sisters. Similar to operation mi'ihen, most people involved dies. Nooj gets injured and Belgamine dies and becomes an unsent. Auron finds a way to Zanarkand and meets young Tidus and his mother. - POST GAME after credits: You have Jetch, Auron, and Braska back. The in-game characters think you are close to destroy sin. You have access to Blitzball (Jetch w/ Psyches), Monster Arena, Chocobo races, Super Bosses. Weapons make a return. Omega Ruins have Omega Weapon, Monster Arena has Penance, Zanarkand has Lord Zaon's final Aeon. Using Zanmoto will be reflected back at you if tried on Penance and Zaon. If you have anti-death armor, Zanmoto will cast all status problems on you even if you have ribbion+ equipped and bring you down to 1hp. - DLC: Seymour's journey and how his mom became Anima. In X-2's monster capture sidequest, it is suggested that Seymour had a few trusted guado guards. - DLC: How Braska become a summoner. Baralai could make an appearance. Since he is supposed to be very good (via the plot), he could accompany Braska to fight off some fiends and a sin spawn coming to Bevelle. - DLC: How Jetch came to Spira. Start from a championship Blitzball tournament in Zanarkand, training in the sea and was swallowed by Sin. Captured by Al-Bead on Bikeial Island. He revealed that he plays and is very good a Blitzball. He learned SOME Al-Bead and was able to play with the Al-Bead Psyches. He was eventually captured after becoming a wanted man for telling everyone he's from Zanarkand; he didn't heed the Al-Bead's warning. Young Rikku and Brother could make a cameo appearance. - DLC More Monsters/Super Bosses in the arena: Ultimecia true form (Blocks Zanmoto) - 13,000,000 HP Safer Sephiroth (Blocks Zanmoto) - 15,000,000 HP Jetch final Aeon - 10,000,000 Tonberry King & Queen(King bypass Ribbion+ and Queen Beings you HP down to 1), 1,000, 000 HP each Giant Cacutar (Has 99,999 needles and Ker Plunk is gravity based) - 10,000,000 Fat Chocobo (Has Auto Haste, Mighty Guard, and Regen+) - 1,000,000 Odin w/Lighting, (Cast Doom on the party if take too long or play to defensively) - 10,000,000 for Odin & 500,000 for Lighting (Odin can use full life on Lighting twice ) Seymour Omnis (Blocks Zanmoto) - 6,000,000 Behemoth God - (Blocks Zanmoto and uses Meteorja when he dies that can do 99, 999 on party if nor prepared) 12,000,000Hp Gimmie Pot - (blocks all magic and summons) - 50,000 (gives you Ribbion+ and 1EXP if you win) Dark Aeons - Same as FFX Carbuncle (reflects all summon's overdrive back to the party, including Zamoto) - 90,000 (Knows relfectga and dispelga) Montblanc - (Blocks Zanmoto) 100,000 (Knows Eject, autolife, Ultima, summon your aeons, and all magics from Thunder to Thundaja) Vegnugun (Blocks Zanmoto &Death) - legs: 100,000 , tail: 100,000 core: 10,000,000, head 10,000,000. Shuyin (500,000 hp w/ Auto haste Auto Protect, Auto shell) & Leanne (5,000hp, Auto haste, Auto reflect, Auto Shell, Auto Protect, cast Auto Life on Shuyin. Can cast all songtress spells and Gravijta. Cast Doom on party if you take upon defeat). (Obviously the main characters worth building are Auron, Braska, and Jetch. And expands on some characters such as Nooj, Belgamine, Kinnoc, and Machean. To expand on Belgamine, she could reveal that she more than admire Auron. It was Suggested that Machean existed during Zanarkand when Leanne was alive in X-2. They could expand on that. (Collector's edition: FFX-3, X/X2 HD, Poster of the Trio, redo the audio drama/novella, artbook, FFX-3 OST, and special in-game weapons.)
I would love one set in the Machina War....I feel like you have lots of room to explore and make a fresh story but at the same time you aren't starting completely from scratch, there are ideas and starting points for cities and areas....There is a place for some people like Lenne, Shuyin and Yunalesca to get a bit more characterisation as well, which I wouldn't mind seeing (though tbh, you wouldn't have to use them if you didn't want to).
Honestly, making a prequel with those three would probably be a way of continuing FFX's story that I could actually stand. Another way would be the Bevelle/Zanarkand wars that started the whole fiasco with Sin.
The funny thing is, I remember in the one episode during your FFX playthrough, you were going through the spheres and you were like "They should make a game where its the three of them"
Hmm, the one thing that I love about FFX (and X-2) is that the world of Spira is very rich in lore and history, and even some of the most minor, in the background characters have very distinct personalities and their own stories/character arcs. It really plays into this idea that everyone has their own story to live, shape, and tell. There is so much room and so many characters that could be explored more in-depth, there are a lot of directions they could go in. And while I don't mind the idea of some of the core FFX characters getting explored again, I feel like getting a game based on Braska's pilgrimage would just end up falling flat, not necessarily because we know how the story ends, but because we've seen and heard too many aspects of the journey to get to their story's end destination. While there are some areas and backgrounds or relationships that could be expanded on a bit, there would already be too much stuff that we already know about Braska's journey to make it a really compelling story to tell, imo. As has already been mentioned, if we were to ever get a prequel series for FFX, I would rather it take place during Spira's ancient history and show us more of the beginnings of Sin, since we have a vague knowledge of those origins, but there would still be *a lot* of room to expand and explore the story, characters, locations, and etc. For a sequel idea, I would prefer if they stayed away from the drama CD and light novel stuff, but I would be down for a game with Rikku as the main character (maybe taking place two years after FFX-2 when she is 19). As the youngest in the core FFX group, she would finally get to tell *her* story. There could be a possible romantic element with Gippal, and a lot could be expanded on when it comes to the Al-bhed culture and society. Since Rikku is Yuna's cousin as well, it could be a way for us to get glimpses into the relationship between Yuna's parents and such. I think there would be a lot of potential for a FFX game like that.
Happy holidays Berk! Thank you for part two of the ffx-3 series, I’ve been waiting on this one for an especially long time! So happy to finally watch it!
@@agipson101 ATB is fine, but FF13 had very dumb mechanics like TP, autobattles, AOE abilities while not letting you control positioning, etc. it's basically FF12 but accelerated x5 and dumbed way down. and then 15 tried to be devil may cry. it was not devil may cry XD
Guys! It has to be a love story! Think about it! You’re all alone… The world hates you… You’re only with men… You have your two best friends in the world… You have needs… I mean… C’mon! Why wouldn’t they fall in love with each other?! Merry Christmas Berk!
boy the part of me thats a die hard ffx fan says id absolutely love to see a prequel to this game with auron braska and jecht but i think ur right all the moments that made you fall in love with the original trio was all shown theu ffx.. however that being said id still play the shit out of that game and most likely love every minute
I dont know how they would make a sequel or a prequel for this i honestly would prefer a remake like they are doing with 7 the updated graphics would be gorgeous i think theyw ill because 7 and 10 have the biggest fanbases
They're not going to remake FFX since it's already remastered and it can't look much better than it already does. If anything, they'll remake all FF's (before FFX) and Tactics. But they better not ruin any more battle systems like they did with VII.
Thank you and happy new year @dansg08 love your FFX content and passion. #1 game for me The creative industry has changed, and a prequel story can delve deeper into how the characters felt about each other. 1) Auron's daughter / relationships? 2) How Jecht viewed Tidus and his mom. What Tidus was actually like. 3) How Braska rebelled against societal norms by marrying Yuna's mom. What was the backlash like? ... so many more possibilities and details with each of these characters and a possible slew of side characters.
The problem with a prequel with the CTB system is that there are only 3 characters. A big component of X working so well with the CTB is changing characters on the fly based on the encounters. I think they would have a FF7 remake like battle system with the return of the Sphere grid leveling and controlling Aeons during battles.
I think centering a prequel plot around Jecht has real potential. I would set up the game around a three part act, and model the first part of the game around FF VII's closed world linear gameplay. Tell a detailed story about Jecht's character as a fail-dad, addiction, and find a way to write him being even transported from dream Zanarkand to Spira as his own mistake. Set the second part around his band of brothers transformation as a guardian. As long as you can show the character growth by the endgame, and his sacrifice to become the final aeon I think you only add to the impact of the FF X story. As for gameplay design, I would say it HAS to be turn based. MUST.
You could have the game start of really dark with Jecht being an abusive farther to a young Tidus, we could play through what happened the day that Jecht went missing etc. even the ending could get more fleshed out with Auron sending Kimahri to look after a younger Yuna, we could see that or play through it as Kimahri and get to learn more about him and how he met Yuna. You could learn more about characters like Chappu, Tidus' mum, Seymour's parents, Al Bhed like Brother, Buddy and Cid.
I think an Octopath Traveler approach would work here. Where you get to play as all three characters individually, with a fourth story being their pilgrimage. Story 1: Auron in the process of becoming a warrior monk and what lead him to refuse marriage, and how being excommunicated from the order affected him. Story 2: How Braska decides to bridge the gap between Yevon and the Al Bhed. The personal journey that takes him on, being hated and ostracized. How did we win the trust of an Al Bhed woman. Why was Yuna's mom willing to trust Braska? Story 3: Short view of Jetch's life in Zanarkand, how he finds the bridge (portal?) to Spira, how did he react to being in an entirely different world where he isn't a celebrity. A lot of what Dansg said about him in the video itself. Story 4: How Auron meets Braska, how they hear about Jecht and why Braska thought it would be a good idea to bring Jecht along on the Pilgrimage. We don't need to play the pilgrimage, unless the path to the temples is different for X or Y reason. We don't need to replay the Temples, unless the Cloister of trials was implemented while Yuna was growing up and Summoners in Braska's time had to enter the Chamber of the Fayth a different way. What was the relationship with machina back then? We can see the corruption of Yevon and maybe the pilgrimage was a more straightforward affair before (hence shorter but different). It would be cool to have a mirror image of the corrupt Maesters and the ones that wholeheartedly believe in the teachings and how that trust leads to their own demise when faced with unscrupulous men. Maybe the point of the game is not the pilgrimage itself but the fight to prevent the corruption of Yevon. DLC: Auron's Afterlife: His journey as an unsent, how that opens his eyes to the ways of the world, and his transition from the emotional monk we see in the spheres to the cool and collected guy we play in FFX.
I'll play pretty much anything that takes us back to Spira lol. I'd rather get a game during the Zanarkand-Bevelle War though, I feel like that would be a lot fresher than something so close to X's story.
Hey, man, 'been a long time. Hope you're doing great. Pleasantries aside, this is what I think: 1) Although you're absolutely right about the fact that we already know *some* of the critical moments lived in Braska’s pilgrimage, there are many others that were briefly mentioned and hardly expand upon. For instance, what were the events that led Jecht to change his personality so radically? How and when Auron changed his mind about Jecht? The relationship between Cid (& the Al Bhed) and Braska after the events that happened to Yuna’s mother were hardly mentioned. The woman Auron was going to marry, did he love her? What was their relationship like? We could get to know Lulu and Wakka’s parents; meet a young Kimahri, and see why Auron trusted him Yuna at the end of their journey. Imagine how many new characters and villains could be added to the story, and much they could augment X’s story. Despite the ending of their story being tragic, as you mentioned, it is also one of newfound hope: The plan to destroy Sin for good (remember Auron's speech). 2) Ten years ago is a long time. Spira could have been an entire new place back then. Imagine all the cities, villages, towns, forests, caves, ruins and even temples (dude, imagine Odin being an Aeon!) that could have existed and that were destroyed by Sin as Braska journeys. Hell, location wise, they could even create a whole new continent that ends up being destroyed by Sin (I reckon Sin could have destroy a lot of sh*t in ten years). There is absolutely nothing negative about a X-prequel, as long as they create it through imagination and creativity, and always steering towards enriching X’s narrative. Plus, if you want a FFX-3, enter a *good* antagonist in a prequel, have him/her get sealed or something and then use it in a sequel to be the reason of Sin's return. Ps: They could use Bloodborne's gameplay, and I'd still play it.
The audio drama... whoo boy, not for me from what you mentioned. I don't have the brain for that one. But I would say this. Further in the past would make sense. Go into the process of creating Sin the first time. We learned from Maechen in FFX that Yunalesca and Yu Yevon worked together to create Sin, so how did that exactly go down? Go through the war, and make a compelling storyline with that. If Shuyin and his summoner that he loved fit in there, then put them in to tie in FFX-2.
some of the things id be really excited about with a X-0 would be: Getting to see life for jecht, flash backs to home, how he bumped into sin, ended up near Bevelle, sent to jail, his attack the shoopuff, him being an alcoholic dbag for the beginning half of his quest, changing. For auron: getting to see his flash backs of life at the church, his rigid yevon-ness he had, no nonsense aaron, and his escort of braska against, him meeting kimarhi, etc. And for Braska, just everything. Braska we have the least about but flash backs of him and yuna, him and yunas mom, his trials, the meeting of yunalesca and final show down with sin, summoning jecht, etc While we have the core items of their journey, there are so many more details that make up their grand aventure and story of brotherhood, they all drastically change from beginning to end and I think getting to expand on all that would make X-0 an amazing option. Heck, even though square lives its life in action games right now FFX-0 might fit that bill well with Auron, Jecht, and Braska. 3 specific fighters, 2 wield swords, and braska getting an arsenal of summons that could act like FF7R summons, or, be called in to be the unique set of fighters for the game. There are a lot of solid possibilities available for an amazing X-0. But most important for me would be the expansion on the narrative of these 3 characters, and the current state of things. Seymour would be a child, mika isnt totally bad yet, wakka and lulu are teens or close to teens on besaid, chappu is still alive, theres a lot of good content for cameos, and expansion.
The prequel can really work even knowing what happens. For example, Xenoblade 2 had a small prequel called Xenoblade 2: Torna. Even knowing what was coming, it still gave us the most epic final battle and still was such a punch to the gut when you finally see everything happen. And it just gave you such an ominous feeling knowing what was coming
100% Agree. I think instead of looking at how we already know what happened, maybe the game could flesh out the world more. Like for example we never got a conclusion to what happened with Auron's love life I think or perhaps have flashbacks to Jecht's life before he was transported etc.
You forgot! If they make a prequel we'll get to see Yuna as a kid!! And I don't think a part 3 has to have a big bad monster in it to be an antagonist, they could just explore more on the Fayth and the Farplane and the Pyreflies
I am so onboard for a prequel! I think if the game had elements of XIII where it cuts to different scenes so we got to play as Jecht in old Zanarkand with a cameo from Tidus, then Auron and his whole warrior monk backstory and Braska with cameo from Yuna. Then all stories could tie together for the pilgrimage. Combine that with a really solid and in depth blitzball minigame (which tbh I would be happy to see even as a game of its own) and that is a brilliant game. To add a bit of mystery/unexpected to the story you could even have something go wrong with the fayth dream which pulls the trio into Zanarkand and they get stuck in dream Zanarkand. Further, you could have an entire segment kind of like via purifico with Auron being unsent and escaping the farplane. Make it happen! Please!
yes times a million, keep the battle system. new amazing sound track, plus updated size of overall game would make a lot of people happy. not to mention would make a lot of money.
Well we know that Square is full of Star Wars fans. Hopefully they will see how much the fans hate the Emperor being back in Episode lX. Sin cannot come back without degrading the sacrifices of all the main characters. Your idea is really good, but at the same time I’d like it to be like the first 6 hours of a true sequel. Just a God level prologue and then we move up to present day.
@@ilimitadouc Square has always used very similar archetypes, world-building and "hero's journey" elements that were popularised by the original Star Wars trilogy. This is partly why so many of the Final Fantasy games make many references to Star Wars within their plots. Biggs and Wedge are always varying between rebels, pilots, droids, engineers and predominantly, soldiers with some kind of nazi visual aesthetic which makes reference to the Galactic Empire drawing inspiration from WWII nazi footage. There are quotes, locations, weapons, plot devices and plenty of other aspects within Final Fantasy, that all have some level of reference to Star Wars.
Square should hire you as a concept writer, haha damn. You brought up so made good points that I've never thought before that you got me excited about it. My preference was always for a story about the Zanarkand-Bevelle war bc I saw more potential there.
I could see both a FF X-0 and a FF X-3 mixed into one game. One plays out the present and the other plays out the past segments of a combined story. It could reveal a new, unknown kind of Spira never shown beforehand. A mysterious Spira that was previously veiled by the Fayth praying to keep New Zanarkand "alive". Also, returning as the Primary Antagonist in a proper manner could be Yu Yevon. Fully "Human" in appearance namely and with a sinister personality to boot. Following the resurrection of Sin, he could return as a proper controller of the monster, rather then just serving as it's core alone.
I like the idea of prequel but the problem would come of who it would be played through. Would it be Jecht, Auron or Braska's perspective? There's a lot of character development and mystery to unravel but I think it would be too much to try to gather ALL of it. I would like to see what the trio ran into along the pilgrimage, things that almost detoured their resolve, the people who failed before who tried to help and give pointers along the way. I also want to see what their fighting styles were like. Was Jecht like Wakka with the blitzball? Was Auron always reserved and powerful or was he more agile like Tidus? Did Braska handle both black/white magic? Who did the stealing if any? Would they run into the other character as they 10 years younger? There's a lot of questions the writers would have to answer. Is there like a baby Sin version or does it come back full power? I'd love to see how they handle a prequel and the ending. Will it continue a little pass the final summoning to show Auron making it to Gagazet?
Love idea of a prequel telling the story of Braska, Jecht and Auron. I also would love to see a game on origin story for Sin set 1000 years in the past. As for a sequel I think most of the reactions of utter disgust at the idea of Sin coming back in the audio drama killed that already. I suspect the audio drama and the Novella will be removed from cannon at some stage. Only way they can spin a valid villain in a sequel would be to pull something from the Farplane as no threats exist on Spira anymore. Though FF10-2 kinda already did that.
While the locations would not change, there can always be expansions on them, especially with the tech we have now. Luca, Bevelle, Kilika Forest, Macalania, and Gagazet can all be shown in their immensity.
With regards to everywhere looking the same we do have some leeway. We could see killika as it was before sin's attack in X. The calm lands could be drastically different as the calm lands in X could be the one we see AFTER Braska fights Sin there. We could also see more of home and bikanel as Braska does marry an Al Bhed.
If it's the prequel with Auron, Baska and Jecht, I REALLY want to see what happend before their pilgrimage, how their family lives were, what Jecht really thought about Tidus, his thoughts why he was so mean to him. I want to see small Tidus realizing that his Dad doesn't come back, and small Yuna reacting to her mothers death and her dad going to defeat Sin, seeing her mixed feeling when Sin is defeated, knowing her father will never come back but being so happy about everyones happiness and her meeting Kimahri. There is so much you can do with not only the trio but the original main characters as children. And what about Lulu? She mentioned being on a pilgrimage with 2 other summoners before. Was one of them at the same time as Braska? We don't know that, Lulu only said that she was young. All these things we know but only really vaguely..
Well perhaps we wont know the secrecy bit for a long time, lots of scens in places we could never get to, longer bits of those awesome ffx style cinematics etc. They can explore alot. Specially of more historic flashes of other summoners scenarios in fuller context. Since this time the prequel wont be with people we know being in the flashback and effects on the main characters too much etc.
Ooooh I would kill to play as Braska, Jecht and Auron. The only problem though, you already know how it ends, and it would just be the same journey Yuna went through.
I agree with some of the comments here that we need to know about the Zanarkand war to set the stage. It doesn't have to be just about Braska. I think lady Yunaleska's journey has to be included too cuz she's the reason why the final aeon exists same with Belgamine's pilgrimage
There’s no question that they’d have to really change the way we see these events in a fundamental way by the time we reach the end of it. Which would require adding A LOT of locations and events that we just didn’t get to see from that era. There’s also a possibility that they expand a lot of the areas we’ve already visited. If they can pull all that off, it’ll work. I’m skeptical of SE’s ability to do this though.
Dansg, I still think that carrying on from the novella is going to be good. Yuna will unlock her full potential as a summoner, which is said in the novella that she didnt achieve only 10% of a summoner power. This is a good way to start. As for a prequel. Since we already know the end of story, they can make something like Crisis Core. Exploring the battles and relationships. Greets!
I'm a 23-year-old FF fan (9 and 10 being my favorites) and I personally could go with either turn-based or active battle systems. It could please people more if they could manage a Dragon Quest styled option where the player can choose between more traditional gameplay or modernized gameplay.
Hey Berk! I completely agree with you and thank you for your complete analysis on this... you have touched all the key points in this discussion and gave some great arguments! Even though it wouldn't be a completely new story, the same way I still love playing FFX, I would play a prequel for sure :) Especially if they gave us a modern CTB concept. As for a possible sequel, I would be more skeptic. In my opinion, FFX-2 gave a nice ending to this story... they shouldn't mess with it anymore.
I would love to see a prequel or a sequel! Un popular opinion: I enjoyed X-2 and thought it was worth playing, even just to revisit Spira and some of my favorite characters again. I don't remember, did Seymour ever get sent by Yuna in X? Would him making a comeback be any good I wonder? I also saw an interesting video on youtube of a theory where Rin is a low key villain throughout X/X-2 and his possible connection to Shinra from X-2, whose descendants founded the Shinra we know from VII. Diving into that connection and their experiments with the Farplane could turn into something I think! On the other hand, I am all for a prequel as well! I think going all the way back to the origins would be amazing and I would even like to see each of the High Summoner's stories and pilgrimages. We see their statues in the temples, but really don't know too much about them individually. There is just so much potential in the world of X that they could really take it in either direction, for many installments, I think!
I know this is late but I would love if they did a prequel but not of spira but actual Zanarkand from 1000 years ago during the machina wars with bevelle it would be such a huge idea to play with.
Pretty sure Maester Micah had already been an Unsent for years at the time of Yuna's pilgrimage. Maybe we could find out more about how Bevelle really feels about it.
I'd love more time in Spira, but a Braska prequel wouldn't be ideal for me because we know how it ends. The point of no return would be pretty early since Jecht would be dead as we head to fight Sin. Also the world would be pretty much the same. I would like to see a version of Spira way before Braska
Also things wouldn't look exactly the same because of Sin, he destroys towns and people have to keep rebuilding so every 10 years things change and this story would take place before/during/after Jecht get transported to Spira to meet Braska and Auron. Not to mention Spira is probably a very large world with lots more to explore, maybe we've only seen one side of the world, we certainly haven't been to every town/city that it has to offer, like where do the shoopuf and Hypello all come from? do they have a homeland somewhere on Spira?
I'll need you to fill in some of the "how could that be possible" gaps, but what about a story where Tidus is able to speak into the past to his father and Auron and Braska and informs them that their mission is not only futile, but causes all of these unnecessary deaths, and Seymour, and the new pilgrimage story becomes Jecht, Braska, and Auron trying to find another way to defeat Sin, just like the plot of FFX. Just a thought. Assuming it works, fill in how the new world would look, building and maintaining relationships where there would've been none (due to these deaths), paving the way for a truly fresh, new FFX-4. All of the main FFX characters would already be alive (being only a 10 year difference) so you wouldn't have to worry about any of their decisions leading to an important character not coming into existence.
If they decide to keep the Novella audio, i could possibly see a sequel. Much like how Sin was being beckoned back; what if Jecht, Auron, and Braska could also be beckoned back? Let alone Seymour and the other "Sin" hosts. I dont remember if Yu Yevon is required for Sin to be alive, but that could definitely change how they could destroy the beckoned Sin that isnt being summoned by Yu Yevon. But this definitely wouldnt be enough for a whole new game
If for some reason Square Enix committed to X-3 following the audio and novella set up I think a possible way that it can be not terrible is if defeating the new Sin was the midpoint of the game. Then the rest of the story was about severing Spira from the Farplane. If handled well they might be able to use the Beckonjng as a point of correlation with Spira’s spiral. Sin was created by a summoner, Vegnagun was activated by an unsent, and Yuna created the Beckoning by summoning Tidus back from the dead in the novella (according to the translation I read) so maybe they come to the idea of removing Pyerflies from the world and truly move forward into a machine focused era. No more magic but also no more fiends. Generally I think I’d want a prequel though. Give me more Auron; one of my favorite video game characters ever. (I’m aware this video is a few years old, but I just replayed X and X-2 again so it’s on the mind)
I would love the story prequel. I would like to see the story from Auron's perspective. Having the start of the game when the calm ends, with Auron rising in the ranks of the temple monks. Seeing Sin attack and destroy a settlement and having Auron play out as a hero. A few years latter with Bervelle (There is going to be a lot of misspellings from this point onward forgive me) as the main city you walk through, a home base. After Auron refuses the hand of a priest's daughter he is shunned but he plans on pushing through but Braska comes to him to ask to be a guardian. After Auron agrees they get a drunken Jecht who is almost useless until he attacks a shoopuf. Make their way south, seeing different lands and towns of Spira. Then back north with the pilgrimage learning the same things we found out but in a different light. You meet Cid who is deciding to make a different Home. Meet different summoners who plan on attacking Sin. Maybe even see another Sin attack to show how desperate they where and Braska's revenge for killing his wife. Be able to play as the final Jecht summon to defeat sin and watch Jecht kill Braska and watch Auron finally brake. Watch Auron die, go to Zanacand to watch over Titus. This is where the second half of the game which would be very short and fast paced because it goes over the story of X and a bit of X2. Play Auron when they go after Yunalesca again (With Titus and the group). As we go through the last chapter it will be very fast overview of the final fight with Sin and Jecht but showing Auron talking to the Fayth about Titus and that he doesn't want a boy that is basically a son of his to die after he helps save the world, a world where he is but a dream. The Fayth of Bahamut who meet Auron 1st with Braska, then after Auran's death who came looking looking for answers and finally after seeing Yuna and Titus near the end of the game. The Fayth agrees it's crappy but he doesn't want to keep dreaming but there is a way. A dangerous way that involves the dead spirit of a boy from Zanacand, the base for the dream known as Titus. A way that he, a fayth, has no right to try and do but would offer it to Yuna. End with Auron, Jecht and Braska greeting Titus in the after life and watching his plan play out to return Titus to Yuna. If you complete the great ending you get to see an Older Titus and Yuna returning to the farplane to thank Auron and the other venerable dead. I would love to see some areas expanded in x3. See the world not from Jecht who would have much the same experiences as Titus but from the eyes of someone from Spira. Have an updated blizball game, show the Al Beld in a worse condition and the other races. A massive battle with Sin with a final summon and of course Jecht attacking a poor shoopuf.
They will also put alot of enphasis on baaj, which was also a place ages ago to teach the art of final summoning during yunalescas time, academy of magic and science. Also the place seymour also was placed for his safety.. before it sunk. He also made his pilgrimage before braska or around same time and figured things out and did the final summoning on his own or simply moved the stone himself to baaj and kept it hidden, hense she is so very powerful. And reverse the name anima, amina sounds like her name to me. But also ANIMA is known worldwide as the various things you experience during most OBE experiencex however they may occur. Or mainly via sincerest meditation, this is all eastern stuff but ties to alot of stuff from celtic, norwegian, scottish knowledge too and others too ofc.
I mean its a bit late for it but rather later than never I guess. What I think would be a nice idea aswell is the story between the „Tidus“ from X-2 and his love (I apologize beforehands I never played it more than Chapter 1 because I am no fan of the ATB and that system ruined the fun for me, so I currently am not surely aware of the names of the two). As far as I know is that we also know so little about the two and it would really interest me what their story was like. Maybe it could also lead into the story to Braska, Jecht and Auron (if I am not totally wrong and assume that the timelines between these two storys of „Tidus X-2“ and Braska and his gang is not too far apart from each other; X-2 fans please correct me if I‘m wrong lol) which we can play through afterwards. But if it would become just the prequel from Braskas gang I would absolutely be down for it since it would be an amazing overview into that timeline and how things were back then.

I would disagree about about Sin looking the same. The maester said Yevon uses the aeon as unholy armor and we saw him jump at the end of FFX. Maybe each incarnation picks up something from the last? Yu Yevon learning from the defeats
We need X 3 as a prequel i wanted this for over 10 years
Plus i dont give a fucc about what happens to Tidus or Yuna after X 2 happy ending they live happily ever after what ever close that story and show us braska some of yunas mom and shit like fr X 3 should show us a little about braska befor auron and jecht
dansg08 would u ever do a xenoblade chronicles play through? The definitive edition is coming out on the switch this year and it’s a game ppl really love! It’s long tho and there is a lot to it
Braska, Auron and Jecht, the most asked for prequel for any game within Final Fantasy, ever! And they didn’t listen to their fans, instead, they made a sequel no one wanted and not many even like 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Love the idea of X-3 as a prequel, but we need to go further back. The first war, the first pilgrimage, the first pilgrimage where Yunalesca told them someone has to die. Let's go back to some of those lost temples before they were lost. So much backstory to play with that doesn't involve established characters.
Also whose final aeon brought Jecht from Dream Zanarkand to try to break the cycle... that has me puzzled.
They need to keep the battle system and same free roam aspects. I don't want to learn an entirely new system
@@natzlilopez7695 it was really on accident he was traveling in sea n went to far...
@@agipson101 So Sin was meditating and Jecht got too close... some inexplicable accident. But with Tidus it had to destroy Zanarkand to bring him to Spira.
Add in a focus on the yojimbo temple and Anima temple for sure. Figure out why they are lost temples
Give us the war between Bevelle and Zanarkand. A world full of machina cities, but in places we already are familiar with, a grand plot of war and secrecy, the great Yevon in the flesh, and a bunch of new heroes. Maybe a little Shujin cameo on top. A refined sphere grid. And a metric megaton of post game. It would be glorious.
Güntlisberger omg YES!
Güntlisberger Yes yes! This!
turn base with a new sphere grid would be worth a play
Yup. That would be interesting.
There is a great fanfiction out there bu renmiri i believe and it has like a dozen chapters rich full of details and it really gives yevon and others a clearcut personality and history which makes them lovable. But it focused on yunalesca but before that, the main reason bevelle attacked zanarkand. It was this outside force.. will not say much until you all read it. Also gives history of guado and ronso too. Both actually had their own planets but FOR AGES the transport systems that used to be there were destroyed way in the past if i recall correctly. Its amazing. Even has yojimbo as a respectable awesome auron like character. Alot cooler too actually and even gets into his death and even his awesome dog who you see when he is an aeon too.
We can make this prequel with 2 words: Maechen’s Story
Peter Porker: The Spectacular Spider-Ham That’d be a long ass game 😂😂😂😂😂
I JUST REALIZED RIGHT NOW the sphere Yuna gets at Gagazet in X-2 is Maechen talking about Lenne (I'm stupid 🤣)
And that as they say, is that.
Happy there's still a strong community for this game almost 2 decades after it's creation. It's amazing.
Merry Christmas and much love
I'd rather see they make a prequel about the war between Bevelle and Zanarkand, leading up to the creation of Sin. Thus giving us more backstory to Yu Yevon, Yunalesca and Zaon. It would also be a good way to present the establishment of the temples, I think- as well as digging deeper into the history of pre-Sin Spira.
You're right. That game would be sick.
I'm just imagining if they DO make all these FFX games, all the titles are gonna start looking like Kingdom Hearts
I would love to see more of the fayth
I read that Kitase-san wanted to have Dream Zanarkand be more explorable in X. If they did a prequel, it would be cool to play as Jecht and be able to see more of Zanarkand in the beginning of the game.
I wanna see how Jecht attacks the Shoopuf!
Drunkenly
@@TriaMaxwell He never drank again
@@LS-bw9xz After attacking it
I think the dynamic between the 3 characters is what would make FFX-0 great, and instead of being from the perspective of Jecht, I would personally find it more interesting if it was from Auron's. He transforms just as much as Jecht, but he has so much more invested and learned, and being in his head as a more angry and outspoken as a younger person is interesting to see compared to the calm badass we know and love in X. Plus, it helps he sees the whole story. He even meets little Yuna and Kimahri before meeting his end. It would definitely be a bittersweet ending, but it would be kind of nice to see him defy his death to fulfill his promise to look after Tidus in a post-credit scene or maybe a secret ending.
Dammit, I'm once again dreaming about a game that will never happen...
Yeah, we could actually see his death scene whilst crawling down Gagazet and meeting a young Kimahri.
Boyzby I was literally just thinking that. All this time I’ve always thought a prequel story would mirror the first game and give us the foreign Jehct exploring the new world of Spira like his son after him. But they would actually have a lot more room for expansion if it followed from the viewpoint of Auron as the main character. It could give us a lot more development on Auron’s backstory by starting from a point before all of his drama with the church happened. Hell, they could avoid the issue of the boring repeated adventure if they added some crazy political plot point like having some faction of the church hatching a new dangerous scheme to try and eliminate Sin.
@@michaellyle859 Yeah, that's true that. Maybe...a cult WORSHIPPING Sin? like an ominous foreshadow to Seymour's beliefs maybe.
Always had that idea back as a child while playing FFX... and without a doubt it'd work! Man the world of FFX could have been so much bigger!
I'd LOVE a prequel X-3 just for the character development alone. Also!! Baby Yuna 😭
You said my thoughts exactly on gameplay. People want to say turn based JRPGs are dead but look at how well games like Persona 5 have done in the last 3 years. There's still an audience for battle designs like this and it could be a good opportunity to bring it back to final fantasy.
i played 7-10 and loved them. liked 12s story art design and big cities but hated the combat system and 13 was the last one i played. ive just bought 7-10 remastered and this seems will be the only FFs i ever own now. FF7 to me is the best and the ff7 remake is a complete clusterfuck. I have no faith in them anymore. If we got a Bevelle vs Zanarkand prequel i'll be on board if the combat system isnt like the new games
I'm definitely a prequel person, and I think there is alot they can do from there. That being said, I really hope it is witht he old battle system, as I am not a fan of the quickly paced battle systems of today, but that is personal preference. Great video!
I have thought about this so many times. a prequel would be amazing.
I have a crazy idea that maybe would work, I'd love a FFX-0 as much as the next guy, but, Imagine a FFX3 set a 1000 years in the future. Due to the Eternal Calm people now believe that the whole Summoner, Sin and Fayts are nothing more than Legends, but somehow someone (BBEG) finds out the truth and learn how to create Fayths again, and the story could develop from there.
Wow. I thought I was alone in wanting this. I spoke on stream from time to time about how amazing X-0 could be, but I never thought I was reaching a receptive audience. I even called it X-0 as well. It feels really, really good to know that I wasn't alone, that others shared the idea and came to it separately on their own. Thank you very much for making this video.
Also, well I'm at it, on the topic of battle systems, I started Final Fantasy with Mystic Quest, I think? But went from there to FF Iv (Then called FF II for SNES) and played all of them after that. So FFX was not my first game in the series at all. Of all of them, X's battle system is the peak of the Final Fantasy battle system for me as a whole. So I think your fondness for CTB is not only due to it being your first. It was also just a really good system with no real waiting.
i would love to play this game regardless of where ever they go with it but i want the game to have the same feel as ffx. i want the same battle system too
Great thoughts, both about story and gameplay. From a story standpoint, I think the Braska pilgramage would work despite having a story we know. We knew what was coming at the end of FFVII Crisis Core with Zach, but still had a strong story leading up to it. I agree there is a lot of opportunity for character development, and if done correctly, it can leave a strong impact like with Noctis and crew in FFXV. I feel the character relationships between them were the strongest in the game. I say bring on the prequel, and with today's technology, exploring spira will be big, fresh, and new...or they could do it movie style, like Advent Children and Kinsglave...
(Might double post...sorry. haven't finished the video yet)
I wouldn't mind a prequel but they can add a few things That can expand on the story. Guest characters.
- After playing FF12 for the 2nd time recently(haven't finished yet), I think they can add parts that you team up with Seymour and his Mom as "guest". Playing with Larsa in the party gave me the idea.
- Another Guest character could be Kimhari (young and with a horn)
- Nooj (uninjured) could join as another guest
- After beating Sin. You can use Kimari (main) again and escort young Yuna to Besaid Island. Yuna only knows, Attack, Cure, and life. Her limit break is Mighty Guard.
- Kinnoc could join as a guest character with Auron at some point.
- Continue to play as Auron as he find a way to ride Sin to Dream Zanarkand. Speaks to Belgamine and Machaen and find out more information about Sin.
- Time skip...Sin Reappears. Nooj, Belgamine, and some Al-bed helps you (Auron) to find Sinspawns to lure Sin to the Calm Lands. They are unaware that Auron is unsent and trying to get to Zanarkand.
- Final Battle is against Sin. Belgamine reveals that she has the Magnus Sisters. Similar to operation mi'ihen, most people involved dies. Nooj gets injured and Belgamine dies and becomes an unsent. Auron finds a way to Zanarkand and meets young Tidus and his mother.
- POST GAME after credits: You have Jetch, Auron, and Braska back. The in-game characters think you are close to destroy sin. You have access to Blitzball (Jetch w/ Psyches), Monster Arena, Chocobo races, Super Bosses. Weapons make a return. Omega Ruins have Omega Weapon, Monster Arena has Penance, Zanarkand has Lord Zaon's final Aeon. Using Zanmoto will be reflected back at you if tried on Penance and Zaon. If you have anti-death armor, Zanmoto will cast all status problems on you even if you have ribbion+ equipped and bring you down to 1hp.
- DLC: Seymour's journey and how his mom became Anima. In X-2's monster capture sidequest, it is suggested that Seymour had a few trusted guado guards.
- DLC: How Braska become a summoner. Baralai could make an appearance. Since he is supposed to be very good (via the plot), he could accompany Braska to fight off some fiends and a sin spawn coming to Bevelle.
- DLC: How Jetch came to Spira. Start from a championship Blitzball tournament in Zanarkand, training in the sea and was swallowed by Sin. Captured by Al-Bead on Bikeial Island. He revealed that he plays and is very good a Blitzball. He learned SOME Al-Bead and was able to play with the Al-Bead Psyches. He was eventually captured after becoming a wanted man for telling everyone he's from Zanarkand; he didn't heed the Al-Bead's warning. Young Rikku and Brother could make a cameo appearance.
- DLC More Monsters/Super Bosses in the arena:
Ultimecia true form (Blocks Zanmoto) - 13,000,000 HP
Safer Sephiroth (Blocks Zanmoto) - 15,000,000 HP
Jetch final Aeon - 10,000,000
Tonberry King & Queen(King bypass Ribbion+ and Queen Beings you HP down to 1), 1,000, 000 HP each
Giant Cacutar (Has 99,999 needles and Ker Plunk is gravity based) - 10,000,000
Fat Chocobo (Has Auto Haste, Mighty Guard, and Regen+) - 1,000,000
Odin w/Lighting, (Cast Doom on the party if take too long or play to defensively) - 10,000,000 for Odin & 500,000 for Lighting (Odin can use full life on Lighting twice )
Seymour Omnis (Blocks Zanmoto) - 6,000,000
Behemoth God - (Blocks Zanmoto and uses Meteorja when he dies that can do 99, 999 on party if nor prepared) 12,000,000Hp
Gimmie Pot - (blocks all magic and summons) - 50,000 (gives you Ribbion+ and 1EXP if you win)
Dark Aeons - Same as FFX
Carbuncle (reflects all summon's overdrive back to the party, including Zamoto) - 90,000 (Knows relfectga and dispelga)
Montblanc - (Blocks Zanmoto) 100,000 (Knows Eject, autolife, Ultima, summon your aeons, and all magics from Thunder to Thundaja)
Vegnugun (Blocks Zanmoto &Death) - legs: 100,000 , tail: 100,000 core: 10,000,000, head 10,000,000. Shuyin (500,000 hp w/ Auto haste Auto Protect, Auto shell) & Leanne (5,000hp, Auto haste, Auto reflect, Auto Shell, Auto Protect, cast Auto Life on Shuyin. Can cast all songtress spells and Gravijta. Cast Doom on party if you take upon defeat).
(Obviously the main characters worth building are Auron, Braska, and Jetch. And expands on some characters such as Nooj, Belgamine, Kinnoc, and Machean. To expand on Belgamine, she could reveal that she more than admire Auron. It was Suggested that Machean existed during Zanarkand when Leanne was alive in X-2. They could expand on that.
(Collector's edition: FFX-3, X/X2 HD, Poster of the Trio, redo the audio drama/novella, artbook, FFX-3 OST, and special in-game weapons.)
Belgemine is hundreds yrs dead, not living in auron's time
The amount of thought put into this is more thought of than the audio drama
Nooj would be a child during that time
Also, ABSOLUTELY NO DLC
I would love one set in the Machina War....I feel like you have lots of room to explore and make a fresh story but at the same time you aren't starting completely from scratch, there are ideas and starting points for cities and areas....There is a place for some people like Lenne, Shuyin and Yunalesca to get a bit more characterisation as well, which I wouldn't mind seeing (though tbh, you wouldn't have to use them if you didn't want to).
Honestly, making a prequel with those three would probably be a way of continuing FFX's story that I could actually stand. Another way would be the Bevelle/Zanarkand wars that started the whole fiasco with Sin.
Braska's pilgrimage, hands down. If Crisis Core worked, then so would this. 💖💖💖
Ffx-4: The Journey of Donna and Barthello
HAHAHAHA they'll end up being married
I literally spit out my drink 😆

DONNNAAAAAA
😂
The funny thing is, I remember in the one episode during your FFX playthrough, you were going through the spheres and you were like "They should make a game where its the three of them"
Ojou-Jojo link?
Hmm, the one thing that I love about FFX (and X-2) is that the world of Spira is very rich in lore and history, and even some of the most minor, in the background characters have very distinct personalities and their own stories/character arcs. It really plays into this idea that everyone has their own story to live, shape, and tell.
There is so much room and so many characters that could be explored more in-depth, there are a lot of directions they could go in. And while I don't mind the idea of some of the core FFX characters getting explored again, I feel like getting a game based on Braska's pilgrimage would just end up falling flat, not necessarily because we know how the story ends, but because we've seen and heard too many aspects of the journey to get to their story's end destination. While there are some areas and backgrounds or relationships that could be expanded on a bit, there would already be too much stuff that we already know about Braska's journey to make it a really compelling story to tell, imo.
As has already been mentioned, if we were to ever get a prequel series for FFX, I would rather it take place during Spira's ancient history and show us more of the beginnings of Sin, since we have a vague knowledge of those origins, but there would still be *a lot* of room to expand and explore the story, characters, locations, and etc.
For a sequel idea, I would prefer if they stayed away from the drama CD and light novel stuff, but I would be down for a game with Rikku as the main character (maybe taking place two years after FFX-2 when she is 19). As the youngest in the core FFX group, she would finally get to tell *her* story. There could be a possible romantic element with Gippal, and a lot could be expanded on when it comes to the Al-bhed culture and society. Since Rikku is Yuna's cousin as well, it could be a way for us to get glimpses into the relationship between Yuna's parents and such. I think there would be a lot of potential for a FFX game like that.
Happy holidays Berk! Thank you for part two of the ffx-3 series, I’ve been waiting on this one for an especially long time! So happy to finally watch it!
Been thinking about this for almost 2 decades. Would be so sick.
This lack of turn based and ATB/CTB is why I have switched to games like bravely default and persona.
God I wish for a turn based FF.
Merry christmas.
honestly the problem is not that 13/15 switched systems, it's that square sucked at designing action battles XD
@@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz I'd agree with that
@@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz I mean atb..was always in ff series..just 13 was the ff to bring it back
@@agipson101 ATB is fine, but FF13 had very dumb mechanics like TP, autobattles, AOE abilities while not letting you control positioning, etc. it's basically FF12 but accelerated x5 and dumbed way down.

it was not devil may cry XD

You have your two best friends in the world…
You have needs…
I mean…
C’mon!
Why wouldn’t they fall in love with each other?!
Merry Christmas Berk!
if you want romance you have braska and yuna's mom, seems pretty interesting too.
Y R U GEH?
All characters in fiction are gay untill proven straight in the court of canon
I've read somewhere that initial idea for FFX-2 before they went with Yuna/Rikku/Paine sequel was indeed Auron/Jecht/Braska prequel.
Shame we got that SIN that is X-2 instead.
FFX videos never get old. Praise be to Yevon.
boy the part of me thats a die hard ffx fan says id absolutely love to see a prequel to this game with auron braska and jecht but i think ur right all the moments that made you fall in love with the original trio was all shown theu ffx.. however that being said id still play the shit out of that game and most likely love every minute
I dont know how they would make a sequel or a prequel for this i honestly would prefer a remake like they are doing with 7 the updated graphics would be gorgeous i think theyw ill because 7 and 10 have the biggest fanbases
They're not going to remake FFX since it's already remastered and it can't look much better than it already does. If anything, they'll remake all FF's (before FFX) and Tactics. But they better not ruin any more battle systems like they did with VII.
This video is the Christmas gift I needed
Thank you and happy new year @dansg08 love your FFX content and passion. #1 game for me
The creative industry has changed, and a prequel story can delve deeper into how the characters felt about each other.
1) Auron's daughter / relationships?
2) How Jecht viewed Tidus and his mom. What Tidus was actually like.
3) How Braska rebelled against societal norms by marrying Yuna's mom. What was the backlash like?
... so many more possibilities and details with each of these characters and a possible slew of side characters.
When you said 15 years ago , I felt old😢
I'm 38, don't get me started
Me, too!! 😂😂😂

best christmas present ever
The problem with a prequel with the CTB system is that there are only 3 characters. A big component of X working so well with the CTB is changing characters on the fly based on the encounters. I think they would have a FF7 remake like battle system with the return of the Sphere grid leveling and controlling Aeons during battles.
Thank you for making your guide for ff10. It was my first time playing it and probably would’ve missed so much without your help.
I literally just watched part one to this video last night and was wondering when part 2 was coming out!
Cool!
I think centering a prequel plot around Jecht has real potential. I would set up the game around a three part act, and model the first part of the game around FF VII's closed world linear gameplay. Tell a detailed story about Jecht's character as a fail-dad, addiction, and find a way to write him being even transported from dream Zanarkand to Spira as his own mistake. Set the second part around his band of brothers transformation as a guardian. As long as you can show the character growth by the endgame, and his sacrifice to become the final aeon I think you only add to the impact of the FF X story. As for gameplay design, I would say it HAS to be turn based. MUST.
YES a prequel of these three would be heartbreaking and amazing! I've been begging for a prequel with them 😭
I will seriously come out of retirement from video gaming if Square Enix were to release a Final Fantasy X-0/3 prequel! Love your videos Dansg08!
You could have the game start of really dark with Jecht being an abusive farther to a young Tidus, we could play through what happened the day that Jecht went missing etc. even the ending could get more fleshed out with Auron sending Kimahri to look after a younger Yuna, we could see that or play through it as Kimahri and get to learn more about him and how he met Yuna. You could learn more about characters like Chappu, Tidus' mum, Seymour's parents, Al Bhed like Brother, Buddy and Cid.
I think an Octopath Traveler approach would work here. Where you get to play as all three characters individually, with a fourth story being their pilgrimage.
Story 1: Auron in the process of becoming a warrior monk and what lead him to refuse marriage, and how being excommunicated from the order affected him.
Story 2: How Braska decides to bridge the gap between Yevon and the Al Bhed. The personal journey that takes him on, being hated and ostracized. How did we win the trust of an Al Bhed woman. Why was Yuna's mom willing to trust Braska?
Story 3: Short view of Jetch's life in Zanarkand, how he finds the bridge (portal?) to Spira, how did he react to being in an entirely different world where he isn't a celebrity. A lot of what Dansg said about him in the video itself.
Story 4: How Auron meets Braska, how they hear about Jecht and why Braska thought it would be a good idea to bring Jecht along on the Pilgrimage. We don't need to play the pilgrimage, unless the path to the temples is different for X or Y reason. We don't need to replay the Temples, unless the Cloister of trials was implemented while Yuna was growing up and Summoners in Braska's time had to enter the Chamber of the Fayth a different way. What was the relationship with machina back then? We can see the corruption of Yevon and maybe the pilgrimage was a more straightforward affair before (hence shorter but different). It would be cool to have a mirror image of the corrupt Maesters and the ones that wholeheartedly believe in the teachings and how that trust leads to their own demise when faced with unscrupulous men. Maybe the point of the game is not the pilgrimage itself but the fight to prevent the corruption of Yevon.
DLC: Auron's Afterlife: His journey as an unsent, how that opens his eyes to the ways of the world, and his transition from the emotional monk we see in the spheres to the cool and collected guy we play in FFX.
What a Christmas present! You are by a mile my favourite person FFX related on youtube! 🙌🏻
What song is playing in the intro?! It's giving me major nostalgia!!!
The theme from Luca.
"FFX The Splendid Performance".Search this on TH-cam and you find the music.
@@salvo27 Thank you so much for this. I remember falling in love with this song when the game first came out. Reminds me of beautiful memories ❤️💕
@@QuixoticUkulele It's a beautiful song,like Mount Gagazet theme.You're welcome :)
I'd love a prequel to FFX but I mostly want a FFX Remake.
Prequel is the best option but I wouldn't mind a continuation of the audio drama either so....I dunno lol
I'll play pretty much anything that takes us back to Spira lol. I'd rather get a game during the Zanarkand-Bevelle War though, I feel like that would be a lot fresher than something so close to X's story.
Hey, man, 'been a long time. Hope you're doing great. Pleasantries aside, this is what I think: 1) Although you're absolutely right about the fact that we already know *some* of the critical moments lived in Braska’s pilgrimage, there are many others that were briefly mentioned and hardly expand upon. For instance, what were the events that led Jecht to change his personality so radically? How and when Auron changed his mind about Jecht? The relationship between Cid (& the Al Bhed) and Braska after the events that happened to Yuna’s mother were hardly mentioned. The woman Auron was going to marry, did he love her? What was their relationship like? We could get to know Lulu and Wakka’s parents; meet a young Kimahri, and see why Auron trusted him Yuna at the end of their journey. Imagine how many new characters and villains could be added to the story, and much they could augment X’s story. Despite the ending of their story being tragic, as you mentioned, it is also one of newfound hope: The plan to destroy Sin for good (remember Auron's speech). 2) Ten years ago is a long time. Spira could have been an entire new place back then. Imagine all the cities, villages, towns, forests, caves, ruins and even temples (dude, imagine Odin being an Aeon!) that could have existed and that were destroyed by Sin as Braska journeys. Hell, location wise, they could even create a whole new continent that ends up being destroyed by Sin (I reckon Sin could have destroy a lot of sh*t in ten years). There is absolutely nothing negative about a X-prequel, as long as they create it through imagination and creativity, and always steering towards enriching X’s narrative. Plus, if you want a FFX-3, enter a *good* antagonist in a prequel, have him/her get sealed or something and then use it in a sequel to be the reason of Sin's return.
Ps: They could use Bloodborne's gameplay, and I'd still play it.
The audio drama... whoo boy, not for me from what you mentioned. I don't have the brain for that one. But I would say this. Further in the past would make sense. Go into the process of creating Sin the first time. We learned from Maechen in FFX that Yunalesca and Yu Yevon worked together to create Sin, so how did that exactly go down? Go through the war, and make a compelling storyline with that. If Shuyin and his summoner that he loved fit in there, then put them in to tie in FFX-2.
If they do a remake type thing, I think they'd be more likely to remake ffx itself in a similar style to ff7 remake
some of the things id be really excited about with a X-0 would be:
Getting to see life for jecht, flash backs to home, how he bumped into sin, ended up near Bevelle, sent to jail, his attack the shoopuff, him being an alcoholic dbag for the beginning half of his quest, changing.
For auron: getting to see his flash backs of life at the church, his rigid yevon-ness he had, no nonsense aaron, and his escort of braska against, him meeting kimarhi, etc.
And for Braska, just everything. Braska we have the least about but flash backs of him and yuna, him and yunas mom, his trials, the meeting of yunalesca and final show down with sin, summoning jecht, etc
While we have the core items of their journey, there are so many more details that make up their grand aventure and story of brotherhood, they all drastically change from beginning to end and I think getting to expand on all that would make X-0 an amazing option. Heck, even though square lives its life in action games right now FFX-0 might fit that bill well with Auron, Jecht, and Braska. 3 specific fighters, 2 wield swords, and braska getting an arsenal of summons that could act like FF7R summons, or, be called in to be the unique set of fighters for the game. There are a lot of solid possibilities available for an amazing X-0.
But most important for me would be the expansion on the narrative of these 3 characters, and the current state of things. Seymour would be a child, mika isnt totally bad yet, wakka and lulu are teens or close to teens on besaid, chappu is still alive, theres a lot of good content for cameos, and expansion.
FFX: before the calm it’s so perfect hope it will ever be a thing
The prequel can really work even knowing what happens. For example, Xenoblade 2 had a small prequel called Xenoblade 2:
Torna. Even knowing what was coming, it still gave us the most epic final battle and still was such a punch to the gut when you finally see everything happen. And it just gave you such an ominous feeling knowing what was coming
Ive been talking about this for years, cant wait to watch this later
We already know why Braska became a Summoner. The ship his wife was on was attacked by Sin and she didn’t make it
100% Agree. I think instead of looking at how we already know what happened, maybe the game could flesh out the world more. Like for example we never got a conclusion to what happened with Auron's love life I think or perhaps have flashbacks to Jecht's life before he was transported etc.
You forgot! If they make a prequel we'll get to see Yuna as a kid!! And I don't think a part 3 has to have a big bad monster in it to be an antagonist, they could just explore more on the Fayth and the Farplane and the Pyreflies
I would love the idea of the first war being a story bc I lowkey wanna see Sin being summoned and used for the first time before it went AWOL
I am so onboard for a prequel!
I think if the game had elements of XIII where it cuts to different scenes so we got to play as Jecht in old Zanarkand with a cameo from Tidus, then Auron and his whole warrior monk backstory and Braska with cameo from Yuna. Then all stories could tie together for the pilgrimage.
Combine that with a really solid and in depth blitzball minigame (which tbh I would be happy to see even as a game of its own) and that is a brilliant game.
To add a bit of mystery/unexpected to the story you could even have something go wrong with the fayth dream which pulls the trio into Zanarkand and they get stuck in dream Zanarkand.
Further, you could have an entire segment kind of like via purifico with Auron being unsent and escaping the farplane.
Make it happen! Please!
yes times a million, keep the battle system. new amazing sound track, plus updated size of overall game would make a lot of people happy. not to mention would make a lot of money.
Well we know that Square is full of Star Wars fans. Hopefully they will see how much the fans hate the Emperor being back in Episode lX. Sin cannot come back without degrading the sacrifices of all the main characters. Your idea is really good, but at the same time I’d like it to be like the first 6 hours of a true sequel. Just a God level prologue and then we move up to present day.
What do even mean Square is full of star wars fans?
@@ilimitadouc
Square has always used very similar archetypes, world-building and "hero's journey" elements that were popularised by the original Star Wars trilogy. This is partly why so many of the Final Fantasy games make many references to Star Wars within their plots. Biggs and Wedge are always varying between rebels, pilots, droids, engineers and predominantly, soldiers with some kind of nazi visual aesthetic which makes reference to the Galactic Empire drawing inspiration from WWII nazi footage.
There are quotes, locations, weapons, plot devices and plenty of other aspects within Final Fantasy, that all have some level of reference to Star Wars.
Square should hire you as a concept writer, haha damn. You brought up so made good points that I've never thought before that you got me excited about it. My preference was always for a story about the Zanarkand-Bevelle war bc I saw more potential there.
I could see both a FF X-0 and a FF X-3 mixed into one game. One plays out the present and the other plays out the past segments of a combined story. It could reveal a new, unknown kind of Spira never shown beforehand. A mysterious Spira that was previously veiled by the Fayth praying to keep New Zanarkand "alive". Also, returning as the Primary Antagonist in a proper manner could be Yu Yevon. Fully "Human" in appearance namely and with a sinister personality to boot. Following the resurrection of Sin, he could return as a proper controller of the monster, rather then just serving as it's core alone.
I like the idea of prequel but the problem would come of who it would be played through. Would it be Jecht, Auron or Braska's perspective? There's a lot of character development and mystery to unravel but I think it would be too much to try to gather ALL of it. I would like to see what the trio ran into along the pilgrimage, things that almost detoured their resolve, the people who failed before who tried to help and give pointers along the way. I also want to see what their fighting styles were like. Was Jecht like Wakka with the blitzball? Was Auron always reserved and powerful or was he more agile like Tidus? Did Braska handle both black/white magic? Who did the stealing if any? Would they run into the other character as they 10 years younger? There's a lot of questions the writers would have to answer. Is there like a baby Sin version or does it come back full power? I'd love to see how they handle a prequel and the ending. Will it continue a little pass the final summoning to show Auron making it to Gagazet?
Love idea of a prequel telling the story of Braska, Jecht and Auron. I also would love to see a game on origin story for Sin set 1000 years in the past. As for a sequel I think most of the reactions of utter disgust at the idea of Sin coming back in the audio drama killed that already. I suspect the audio drama and the Novella will be removed from cannon at some stage. Only way they can spin a valid villain in a sequel would be to pull something from the Farplane as no threats exist on Spira anymore. Though FF10-2 kinda already did that.
After FFX-2, I don’t want another game to ruin the perfection that was FFX
While the locations would not change, there can always be expansions on them, especially with the tech we have now. Luca, Bevelle, Kilika Forest, Macalania, and Gagazet can all be shown in their immensity.
With regards to everywhere looking the same we do have some leeway. We could see killika as it was before sin's attack in X. The calm lands could be drastically different as the calm lands in X could be the one we see AFTER Braska fights Sin there. We could also see more of home and bikanel as Braska does marry an Al Bhed.
If it's the prequel with Auron, Baska and Jecht, I REALLY want to see what happend before their pilgrimage, how their family lives were, what Jecht really thought about Tidus, his thoughts why he was so mean to him. I want to see small Tidus realizing that his Dad doesn't come back, and small Yuna reacting to her mothers death and her dad going to defeat Sin, seeing her mixed feeling when Sin is defeated, knowing her father will never come back but being so happy about everyones happiness and her meeting Kimahri. There is so much you can do with not only the trio but the original main characters as children. And what about Lulu? She mentioned being on a pilgrimage with 2 other summoners before. Was one of them at the same time as Braska? We don't know that, Lulu only said that she was young. All these things we know but only really vaguely..
Well perhaps we wont know the secrecy bit for a long time, lots of scens in places we could never get to, longer bits of those awesome ffx style cinematics etc. They can explore alot. Specially of more historic flashes of other summoners scenarios in fuller context. Since this time the prequel wont be with people we know being in the flashback and effects on the main characters too much etc.
Ooooh I would kill to play as Braska, Jecht and Auron. The only problem though, you already know how it ends, and it would just be the same journey Yuna went through.
I agree with some of the comments here that we need to know about the Zanarkand war to set the stage. It doesn't have to be just about Braska. I think lady Yunaleska's journey has to be included too cuz she's the reason why the final aeon exists same with Belgamine's pilgrimage
There’s no question that they’d have to really change the way we see these events in a fundamental way by the time we reach the end of it. Which would require adding A LOT of locations and events that we just didn’t get to see from that era. There’s also a possibility that they expand a lot of the areas we’ve already visited. If they can pull all that off, it’ll work. I’m skeptical of SE’s ability to do this though.
Dansg, I still think that carrying on from the novella is going to be good. Yuna will unlock her full potential as a summoner, which is said in the novella that she didnt achieve only 10% of a summoner power. This is a good way to start.
As for a prequel. Since we already know the end of story, they can make something like Crisis Core. Exploring the battles and relationships.
Greets!
I'm a 23-year-old FF fan (9 and 10 being my favorites) and I personally could go with either turn-based or active battle systems. It could please people more if they could manage a Dragon Quest styled option where the player can choose between more traditional gameplay or modernized gameplay.
I would love to play!
What aeons would we gather does braska know of yoji and anima and magus sisters?
Hey Berk! I completely agree with you and thank you for your complete analysis on this... you have touched all the key points in this discussion and gave some great arguments! Even though it wouldn't be a completely new story, the same way I still love playing FFX, I would play a prequel for sure :) Especially if they gave us a modern CTB concept. As for a possible sequel, I would be more skeptic. In my opinion, FFX-2 gave a nice ending to this story... they shouldn't mess with it anymore.
I would love to see a prequel or a sequel!
Un popular opinion: I enjoyed X-2 and thought it was worth playing, even just to revisit Spira and some of my favorite characters again. I don't remember, did Seymour ever get sent by Yuna in X? Would him making a comeback be any good I wonder? I also saw an interesting video on youtube of a theory where Rin is a low key villain throughout X/X-2 and his possible connection to Shinra from X-2, whose descendants founded the Shinra we know from VII. Diving into that connection and their experiments with the Farplane could turn into something I think!
On the other hand, I am all for a prequel as well! I think going all the way back to the origins would be amazing and I would even like to see each of the High Summoner's stories and pilgrimages. We see their statues in the temples, but really don't know too much about them individually.
There is just so much potential in the world of X that they could really take it in either direction, for many installments, I think!
I know this is late but I would love if they did a prequel but not of spira but actual Zanarkand from 1000 years ago during the machina wars with bevelle it would be such a huge idea to play with.
Perfect to watch when eating christmas dinner thanks:)
Id say do a video were the main character is shuyin and lenne is on the same team and tell there comepete story of them what do you think @dansg08
Pretty sure Maester Micah had already been an Unsent for years at the time of Yuna's pilgrimage. Maybe we could find out more about how Bevelle really feels about it.
I'd love more time in Spira, but a Braska prequel wouldn't be ideal for me because we know how it ends.
The point of no return would be pretty early since Jecht would be dead as we head to fight Sin. Also the world would be pretty much the same.
I would like to see a version of Spira way before Braska
Also things wouldn't look exactly the same because of Sin, he destroys towns and people have to keep rebuilding so every 10 years things change and this story would take place before/during/after Jecht get transported to Spira to meet Braska and Auron. Not to mention Spira is probably a very large world with lots more to explore, maybe we've only seen one side of the world, we certainly haven't been to every town/city that it has to offer, like where do the shoopuf and Hypello all come from? do they have a homeland somewhere on Spira?
What if you could just play as each of the high summoners, I think that'd be cool
I'll need you to fill in some of the "how could that be possible" gaps, but what about a story where Tidus is able to speak into the past to his father and Auron and Braska and informs them that their mission is not only futile, but causes all of these unnecessary deaths, and Seymour, and the new pilgrimage story becomes Jecht, Braska, and Auron trying to find another way to defeat Sin, just like the plot of FFX. Just a thought. Assuming it works, fill in how the new world would look, building and maintaining relationships where there would've been none (due to these deaths), paving the way for a truly fresh, new FFX-4. All of the main FFX characters would already be alive (being only a 10 year difference) so you wouldn't have to worry about any of their decisions leading to an important character not coming into existence.
I love ffx so much, i dont care if they do a prequel or a sequel, if it is shitty or not, i just want to know more about spira and their culture.
If they decide to keep the Novella audio, i could possibly see a sequel. Much like how Sin was being beckoned back; what if Jecht, Auron, and Braska could also be beckoned back? Let alone Seymour and the other "Sin" hosts. I dont remember if Yu Yevon is required for Sin to be alive, but that could definitely change how they could destroy the beckoned Sin that isnt being summoned by Yu Yevon. But this definitely wouldnt be enough for a whole new game
If for some reason Square Enix committed to X-3 following the audio and novella set up I think a possible way that it can be not terrible is if defeating the new Sin was the midpoint of the game. Then the rest of the story was about severing Spira from the Farplane. If handled well they might be able to use the Beckonjng as a point of correlation with Spira’s spiral. Sin was created by a summoner, Vegnagun was activated by an unsent, and Yuna created the Beckoning by summoning Tidus back from the dead in the novella (according to the translation I read) so maybe they come to the idea of removing Pyerflies from the world and truly move forward into a machine focused era. No more magic but also no more fiends.
Generally I think I’d want a prequel though. Give me more Auron; one of my favorite video game characters ever. (I’m aware this video is a few years old, but I just replayed X and X-2 again so it’s on the mind)
I've been wanting this prequel for 17 years.
I would love the story prequel. I would like to see the story from Auron's perspective. Having the start of the game when the calm ends, with Auron rising in the ranks of the temple monks. Seeing Sin attack and destroy a settlement and having Auron play out as a hero. A few years latter with Bervelle (There is going to be a lot of misspellings from this point onward forgive me) as the main city you walk through, a home base. After Auron refuses the hand of a priest's daughter he is shunned but he plans on pushing through but Braska comes to him to ask to be a guardian. After Auron agrees they get a drunken Jecht who is almost useless until he attacks a shoopuf. Make their way south, seeing different lands and towns of Spira. Then back north with the pilgrimage learning the same things we found out but in a different light. You meet Cid who is deciding to make a different Home. Meet different summoners who plan on attacking Sin. Maybe even see another Sin attack to show how desperate they where and Braska's revenge for killing his wife. Be able to play as the final Jecht summon to defeat sin and watch Jecht kill Braska and watch Auron finally brake. Watch Auron die, go to Zanacand to watch over Titus. This is where the second half of the game which would be very short and fast paced because it goes over the story of X and a bit of X2.
Play Auron when they go after Yunalesca again (With Titus and the group). As we go through the last chapter it will be very fast overview of the final fight with Sin and Jecht but showing Auron talking to the Fayth about Titus and that he doesn't want a boy that is basically a son of his to die after he helps save the world, a world where he is but a dream. The Fayth of Bahamut who meet Auron 1st with Braska, then after Auran's death who came looking looking for answers and finally after seeing Yuna and Titus near the end of the game. The Fayth agrees it's crappy but he doesn't want to keep dreaming but there is a way. A dangerous way that involves the dead spirit of a boy from Zanacand, the base for the dream known as Titus. A way that he, a fayth, has no right to try and do but would offer it to Yuna. End with Auron, Jecht and Braska greeting Titus in the after life and watching his plan play out to return Titus to Yuna. If you complete the great ending you get to see an Older Titus and Yuna returning to the farplane to thank Auron and the other venerable dead.
I would love to see some areas expanded in x3. See the world not from Jecht who would have much the same experiences as Titus but from the eyes of someone from Spira. Have an updated blizball game, show the Al Beld in a worse condition and the other races. A massive battle with Sin with a final summon and of course Jecht attacking a poor shoopuf.
They will also put alot of enphasis on baaj, which was also a place ages ago to teach the art of final summoning during yunalescas time, academy of magic and science. Also the place seymour also was placed for his safety.. before it sunk. He also made his pilgrimage before braska or around same time and figured things out and did the final summoning on his own or simply moved the stone himself to baaj and kept it hidden, hense she is so very powerful. And reverse the name anima, amina sounds like her name to me. But also ANIMA is known worldwide as the various things you experience during most OBE experiencex however they may occur. Or mainly via sincerest meditation, this is all eastern stuff but ties to alot of stuff from celtic, norwegian, scottish knowledge too and others too ofc.
I mean its a bit late for it but rather later than never I guess.
What I think would be a nice idea aswell is the story between the „Tidus“ from X-2 and his love (I apologize beforehands I never played it more than Chapter 1 because I am no fan of the ATB and that system ruined the fun for me, so I currently am not surely aware of the names of the two). As far as I know is that we also know so little about the two and it would really interest me what their story was like. Maybe it could also lead into the story to Braska, Jecht and Auron (if I am not totally wrong and assume that the timelines between these two storys of „Tidus X-2“ and Braska and his gang is not too far apart from each other; X-2 fans please correct me if I‘m wrong lol) which we can play through afterwards.
But if it would become just the prequel from Braskas gang I would absolutely be down for it since it would be an amazing overview into that timeline and how things were back then.
16:55 you can still make a turn based game have nice transactions between scenes
