So how do they get to the Farplane now?

In X it was a pivotal plot thing that when people die a summoner performs the sending to send the souls of the departed to the farplane otherwise they'd turn into Fiends - so what happens in X2? would there still be people to perform the sending? or would everyone either turn into fiends or - as stated in X as the only way to go to the farplane without being sent - accept death while there still alive.

Or is it a gaping plot hole?

thanks

after all it really is a huge unanswered question - because the farplane still exists and whatnot because you see Lord Jyscal talkking to trommell i belive?

Bah! i havnt played on this game for a long time so ill either have to replay it or unlock the box of scary memories in my head where X-2 is stored XD

Ummmm.... crap.... that is a good question, i actually never thought about it till now, i don't think they every got to the farplane in X-2 remember the Farplane was closed because the spirits were all lively and out of countrol because the summoners weren't there anymore, that could be the answer, but i think they might have just accepted death, because sin wasn't there anymore, so they had nothing to forget... no that can't be it either, i'll have to think about that, but that is a good question...

i hope there IS an answer - otherwise its just another gaping plot whole for SE to fill in

I dunno...hmmm, i really loved final fantasy X, but although X-2 was good,,,it could never outdo final fantasy X. So i guess it is a gaping hole in the plot....i have my theory of course...

1.Do to souls turning into fiends if they arent SENT or dont accept
death, then apparently a summoner is needed.
2.Who says only summoners can perform such a thing like a "dance of the sending"
3.Yuna (in the previous game) broke all bounds when she denied yunalesca and changed the fate of all summoners to come. Maybe since yunalesca created the laws that summoners must die for sin, she also created the law that summoners are the only ones who can SEND people...
4.5.and 6.OK, i come to my conclusion that since yuna broke the walls that yunalesca made for the spira and its summoners. Then she broke all the laws and rewrote who could do what, making it so that the world would now be equal without SIN and SUMMONERS. Now people can do rituals like "funerals" and such to SEND the dead into the farplane.......i hope im close.

No that wouldn't work then, then that would mean that there wouldn't be any fiends in FFX-2 if that were the case, and summoners were the only ones that could do the dance of the sending, because in kilika, yuna arrived and people said that there weren't any summoners there, and they were afraid that their loved ones wouldn't be sent and would all turn into fiends and attack Kilika and others

maybe the only reason people did not accept death was because they were worried about their families, with Sin gone there was less to worry about

March 26, 2007, 7:59 AM

most people would and could not accept death while they are still alive. the only reason tidus' mum does is because without jecht she has nothing to live for. but anyway they dont accept death when they are alive.

well there aren't as many people dieing in X-2 (no sin) so maybe most the people accept death because they're dieing of old age...nah thats stupid
