This thread has been linked to the game 'Final Fantasy X'.
OK....so you've read this far....that means one of three things.
1) You've got the game and haven't finished it yet, in which case I strongly advise you to stop reading now, because you really should see the ending for yourself
2) You've completed FFX, in which case read on and discuss
3) It's a thread by FM, therefore worth reading. I can accept that but still, if you fall under number one above, stop reading NOW.
I know there was a thread on this before but I think it's archived now.
So...the way I see it the ending could be one of two things:
Firstly, a blitzball player called Tidus falls asleep, has a dream, then wakes up. This, in my view, is a bit of a cop out in the same vein as 'Bobby Ewing wakes up in the shower' scene from Dallas.
Secondly, and more complicated, is that Tidus WAS actually part of the dream of the Fayth, conjured up by them to end the dream for them, because they did actually exist and they were actually tired of dreaming. Taking this ending further, once the Fayths were defeated (including Sin, who was drawing his power from all those Fayths just before you got to Zanarkand Ruins) then why was the final scene added of Tidus waking up and swimming towards the viewer? Did the Fayths give him a second chance and conjure him up again to be with Yuna? They can't have sent him back to the original Zanarkand because that was part of their dream too...so where did Tidus wake up in that final sequence?
I prefer the second scenario, but I'm left with a nasty taste in my mouth that if I should ever play another FF game again that it will end in the same way: the 'It was all a dream' cop out.
So is FF X-2 just going to be another Tidus dream? Or will Tidus actually appear in it alongside Yuna?
One thing that really grated on my nerves was the fact that after defeating Sin, you couldn't continue to develop your characters and explore a bit more. You couldn't revisit old places from your travels and get the reactions from the inhabitants to your victory. In a sense you could do this after you used the airship to knock Sin to the ground, but after you've past that last save sphere, that's it, no turning back.
Yeah, I've reloaded the game and am now powering up to get the Tornado Overdrive for Auron and powering the rest of the characters around the Sphere Grid by fighting Don Tonberry in the arena, then I'm going to go back and see if I can take out Sin in one hit, but I could have done all this ages ago if I'd known that Sin was going to be the boss that ends the game completely. I could have had a lot of fun wasting Seymour with just one of my characters if I'd known that, so I may just start from scratch again up until the point where I get the airship.
Any other theories on the ending?

thats not possible because the gaps 1000 years and tidus and his mum are not really real
it cant be a hospital scan because tidis isnt a baby then and he is talking to someone about the machina

HANG ON! I HAVE IT! Teh time gap between Yuna's and Tidus's world is 100 years yeah? Well you know how Tidus's mother looks a bit like Yuna? Well maybe thats because she is Yuna's baby? There has to be some connection with the baby. There has to be.

Yes, well obviously that Sphere Kimarhi finds is just a hospital scan of Yuna's baby (Tidus) and the prison is Yunas womb. Clearly :D

lol! Nicely put FM :D
Mr Lionheart, where it says "at the official wesbite", keep reading for a couple more words to the point where the official website is written. If that doesn`t work, which I`m not sure is possible, then try typing official final fantasy or something like that into google.
Good luck! :D

*shakes head in amazement*
whats the web adress of the official website
FFX-2 looks 'mission-based'. There's some screenshots on the official website (http://www.playonline.com/ffx2) with 'Mission Complete' on them. No sign of Tidus on there though, although Yuna, Wakka and Rikku feature largely, as do the Al Bhed side of Yuna's family tree.
I got some neat wallpaper for my desktop now :)
There's even a screenshot in which a girl is holding something that suspciously resembles one of the Gunblades from FF8. I dunno why I'm torturing myself by looking at the official website when we've probably got another 18 months or so till release...

Oh, yeah, I heard that too.
Yuna's training to be a Blitz player I think - to fill Tidus's legacy or something.

If that is true... all is confirmed. Kinda :D
i saw this thing on the internet about ffx another story it came out with ff international in japan.
well basically wakkas made lulu pregnant yuna is training to hold her breath (god knows why) kimahri is on gagazet teaching.
one day kimahri finds a sphere (as in jecht, auron or braska spheres) it is one of tidus in a prison somewhere and him saying about "who cares if we used the forbidden machina it was the only way to beat sin" blah blah blah. rikku comes in and tells yuna to come with her to find tidus.
