As FFX-2 shares the same engine and locales as its predecessor, the visual presentation isn't much different than FFX. Thankfully, FFX is still impressive today, thus FFX-2 looks great. A good set of the locales are slightly different thanks to the effect of Sin's departure – Kilika Port, once a small port town with few residents is now a thriving town, expanding without fear of Sin destroying all they've worked for. The Thunder Plains are no longer ravaged with lighting strikes everywhere, and the Zanarkand Ruins have been transformed into a tourist attraction. Yet other places remain the exact same – most notably the beautiful, picturesque Besaid Island – for good reason too (Lord Braska did well picking Besaid for Yuna to live, even if it means having to hear the locals say ‘ya' all the time). This adds some freshness and demonstrates how things have changed, or not changed, in the 2 years since Sin was sent to bed without any dinner. The unique style of Spira is still in full force, crafting a game that looks nothing like a typical FF game; bright, colorful and varied with numerous sights to take in, making for a journey that is full of different and varied locales.
