Square Enix is known for weird publicity stunts and Final Fantasy story-bending, and this is no exception. According to the publisher, by way of a tie-in event for Mobius Final Fantasy, they're gong to explain what happened to Tidus between the events of Final Fantasy X and X-2.

This little clip gives you a quick look at the crossover, and expands upon the Yuna-centric Eternal Calm to give us more of Tidus. Much of the same development team from X is participating, and the event itself will run starting this week in Japan.

Eventually the west will probably get this Dream within a Dream update too, and if you're at all curious about what's up with Tidus, odds are you'll be able to catch a YouTube video or read a fan recap at some point. As a reminder, Mobius Final Fantasy was a 2015 mobile-only game that eventually made the trip to PC in 2017.

Stop Square.

Stop.

 

[Cartho]

Spoiler

He was involved in a freak accident involving a concrete mixer and a badger.

 

[Avallon]

Stop Square.

Stop.

I mean... I want to know, but not like this.

 

[Ray Down]

I'm sure Nojima will treat this story beat with the same level of respect as that audio drama.

 

[Oregano]

Did his head explode?

 

[Laplasakos]

That's nice but i am still waiting for FFX-3.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Why?

 

[Flink]

FFX-2.5 is some novel right?
Tidus dies by kicking a bomb thinking it's a Blitzball if I recall correctly.

 

[ricelord]

Isn't he like a zombie ghost dream or something?

 

[pizzacat]

Do the bomb thing or leave it dead

 

[ffdgh]

Not sure if I want to know after that blitz ball incident.

 

[Jigorath]

Uhh, we know what happened.

Tidus was a dream, and the dream ended.

Also I thought Square made X-2 non-canon.

 

[Ōkami]

Final Fantasy X-3: The Pre Sequel.

 

[ldcommando]

died on the way to his home planet?

 

[Ray Down]

Uhh, we know what happened.

Tidus was a dream, and the dream ended.

Also I thought Square made X-2 non-canon.

No just Yuna personality in X-2 as a phase or something.

 

[Daingurse]

I thought the dude just didn't exist anymore lol.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

square, can we also get FF13-4?

 

[Alucrid]

i want to know what happens after he gets his head blown off instead

 

[Nirolak]

Remember when we had a ton of rumors that Square Enix was making Final Fantasy X-3 and they released a bunch of stuff related to it and then announced Mobius?

I suspect this game was originally Final Fantasy X-3, and got rebranded when the new CEO took over and told them to stop reviving franchises only on mobile.

 

[SoulUnison]

Nothing says "respectful addition to an existing narrative" quite like shoehorning it into a special event in your gatcha-nightmare F2P mobile game.

Hmm... a main character who wakes up in a weird dream-like realm with no memories...

It fits unsettling well.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

We'll find out what happened to Tidus between Final Fantasy X and X-2

[silver moose]

I'm down with this, saw the thread title and thought maybe we'd be getting an X-3 (which I would totally buy because I would and not be ashamed)

That said I'm still ok with this, bring on any and all FFX goods.

 

[Sola Scriptura]

Remember back when Square made self-contained RPGs that didn’t have sequels, weren’t part of a “universe” with ridiculous tie-ins, and weren’t continually (and unnecessarily) updated?

Those were the days!

 

[McMoneyman]

I'm sure Nojima will treat this story beat with the same level of respect as that audio drama.

That audio drama was something alright... Did he pull it straight from fanfiction.com?

 

[Hexa]

Wait, what? That doesn't make sense to me.
I thought he ceased to exist from the ending of FFX to the ending of FFX2, where he was reconstructed from memories or something like that.

If the Final Fantasy X -Will- story is any indication then this wouldn't actually be good in a traditional release either.

 

[RRockman]

Is this going to tie into that crappy novel where Tidus and Yuna break up?

 

[Breakage]

He had an affair with Lightning.

 

[shintoki]

Give me X-3

3x the dress sphere system,
5x the Jpop!

 

[Massicot]

This feels like trying to fill in a gap when there is none. He ceased to exist and then the Fayth decided to effectively will him back into existence again as basically a favor to Yuna. It wasn't this big mystery of where he was.

 

[Ray Down]

Not only break up but his HEAD EXPLODES and he get's distracted by Yuna because she dresses to sexy.

 

[Vashetti]

Please just make a proper X-3.

 

[shimon]

Oh boy...

 

[Yohane]

Square enix should stop ruin my childhood.

Maybe I should sue?

EDIT: on a second thought this may be turn better than FF15

 

[Taruranto]

Was the Drama CD well receive in Japan or what?

Who keep asking for these things?

 

[Marcel]

Give me X-3

I got you

 

[lucablight]

Is this going to tie into that crappy novel where Tidus and Yuna break up?

Lol wot.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

he blipped out of existence, that's what happened. leave it alone.

 

[danm999]

IIRC didn’t he stop existing at the end of FFX and start existing again at the end of FFX-2? What is there to tell?

 

[Stormblessed]

They're just taking cues from Star Wars again - filling in "gaps" in a pre-existing time line because they don't want to stray too far away from the material people are most fond of.

 

[Thorakai]

Square Enix answering the questions nobody asked

 

[Lights and Waves]

Keep it.

I do.

 

[Yohane]

Lmao what is this Tidus explodes meme?

 

[BoogieWoogie]

 

[Neo-Ryudo]
