>>715130668'Religion = bad' is a theme in a lot of FF games, but in X's case, the religion is also the world government (usually this takes the form of an 'evil empire' in most other FFs). The changes in X-2 are actually a logical exploration at how people would adapt to what amounted to the collapse of the world's government. Since it's not America, there's no looting and pillaging, and people peacefully choose various factions or explore their world as they try to find their way in it. Yuna's journey is the same thing as the rest of Spira, at a personal level. The life and destiny she'd trained and prepared for most of her life never happened. Even the life she may have lived with Tidus was no longer an option, so she was more adrift than pretty much anyone else in Spira. She takes the outfit Rikku gives her to try something new, but other than being a bit more assertive, she's basically the same person. A bit more willing to question, but still determined to blaze her own path despite being pulled from many directions as many in Spira look to her as a unifying figure. Her friends told her to spread her wings and experience new things, but she shrank from that, because for all the supposed freedom she now had, people were constantly on at her to take up the responsibility of governing the world. The revelation that 'Tidus' was still alive somewhere was the dream she had always envisioned being possible again, just a quiet life on Besaid with him.
