Gamespot has posted a preview of Final Fantasy X-2. Here's something from that:
For those unfamiliar with the game's story, FFX-2 follows Yuna's experiences after the climactic battle against Sin. The final battle's price and the dramatic changes made to the world as a result have put the young former summoner at a personal crossroads. Her struggle to come to grips with everything that's happened has led her to fall in with Rikku for a walk on the wild side, which makes for a rather dramatic change in her life, as evidenced by her new look. In the wake of the battle with Sin, groups of sphere hunters have emerged to search for spheres scattered throughout the world. The spheres are unique historical items that contain movies of the history of Yuna's world, Spira--much like the Jecht spheres seen in FFX. The primary members of Yuna and Rikku's group of sphere hunters, the Kamome Clan, are Yuna, Rikku, and a fresh face, Paine (pronounced "Pine")--an amazonian 18-year-old fighter with a mysterious past whose combat skills are complemented by her facility with the Al Bhed language. The Kamome Clan's roster is fleshed out by a host of supporting characters from FFX as well as another new face. A bespectacled young Al Bhed boy, whose glasses clearly mark him as one of the brains in the outfit, joins Rikku's brother Aniki, Dachi, and Master from FFX. The supporting cast's main duty is to man the Celsius, the Kamome Clan's airship, which serves as the group's primary means of transportation. Yuna's hardy band of hunters isn't the only outfit in the sphere-hunting business, though--a rival clan called the LeBlanc Gang is on hand to offer a healthy dose of competition. The gang's leader, a busty woman named LeBlanc, is joined by two men, the rotund Uno and the lanky Sano, who look like the poster children for a big and tall store. Sphere hunting becomes the game's central focus after a sphere showing a sequence with what looks like Tidus is found. Yuna sets off to gather spheres in the hopes that she'll piece together enough information to discover the fate of her former guardian. It's a safe bet to assume that, as in any role playing game, Yuna's simple quest will likely become a much larger experience with revelations and repercussions that will come to affect more than just her own life. |
