Final Fantasy X-2 is a role-playing video game developed and published
by Square for the PlayStation 2, first released in Japan on March 13,
2003. A direct sequel to 2001's Final Fantasy X, the game follows Yuna
as she searches for Tidus, the main character of the previous game,
while trying to prevent political conflicts in Spira from escalating to
war. Its gameplay follows a similar structure to other titles in the
Final Fantasy series, with players commanding a cast of characters as
they progress through the story exploring the in-game world and battling
enemies. The game was the last in the series to be released by Square
before its merger with Enix, and the first to be a sequel to a previous
Final Fantasy game. X-2 was a commercial and critical success, selling
over 5 million copies on PlayStation 2 and winning a number of awards.
A high-definition remaster was released on PlayStation 3 and
PlayStation Vita in 2013 and on other consoles in subsequent years.
