🦁 Kimahri Ronso: The New Elder of Mt. Gagazet
Kimahri, the silent Ronso guardian, returns to his home on Mt. Gagazet and takes on the role of Elder.

In Final Fantasy 10-2, Kimahri discovers a sphere recording that resembles Tidus, sparking Yuna’s globe-trotting adventure for answers. Along the way, Yuna helps Kimahri resolve various tribe-related challenges, from the reclassification of Mt. Gagazet to finding lost cubs and avoiding a potential war.
🔮 Lulu: Black Mage, Mother, and Mayor
Lulu, the wise and stoic black mage, puts her adventuring days behind her and marries Wakka. Although she still offers guidance to Yuna, Lulu fully recognizes her protégé’s strength and independence.

Amidst the return of Sin and the resurgence of the dead and extinct species, Lulu hints to Tidus that his own return should not be surprising.
⚔️ Auron: A Voice Calling Out from the Farplane
Auron, the enigmatic swordsman with a troubled past, was revealed to be an unsent throughout Final Fantasy 10. After fulfilling his mission, his essence clung to the world of Spira. In Final Fantasy 10-2, as Yuna, Rikku, and Paine confront Tidus’ doppelganger, Auron’s voice can be heard cheering them on from the Farplane, accompanied by Jecht and High Summoner Braska. In the Final Fantasy 10 -Will- audio drama, a young lady named Chaumi claims to be Auron’s daughter, but this mystery remains unresolved due to the absence of a second sequel.
💥 Rikku: The Still-Adventurous Machina Master
Rikku, the energetic and resourceful Al Bhed thief, forms part of the Gullwings in Final Fantasy 10-2. This sphere-hunting group travels the world in search of lost powers and knowledge. Rikku aids Yuna in her quest to unravel the mystery of Tidus’ doppelganger while also scavenging for valuable machina and spheres. After their adventures, Rikku returns to her passion for repairing and refurbishing machina. In the bonus content “The Last Mission,” she expresses a feeling of stagnation, but ultimately, the trio’s bond and shared memories prevail.
🌟 Tidus: The Dreamt Dreamer Awakens on a Familiar Shore
Tidus, the star blitzball player who turned out to be a dream of the Fayth, had to fade away after the defeat of Sin. However, in Final Fantasy 10-2, if the player completes a significant portion of the game, Yuna can make a wish to the Farplane, bringing Tidus back to Besaid Beach. The couple finally gets their happy ending. In Final Fantasy 10 -Will-, their relationship faces uncertainty when doubts arise about Tidus’ return, leading to a break-up just before news of Sin’s resurgence. But Tidus vows to follow Yuna once again in her quest to defeat Sin.
🌺 Yuna: The High Summoner With More Life to Live
Yuna, the determined summoner who sacrificed herself for the sake of Spira, unexpectedly survives her final summoning. As the Eternal Calm begins, she becomes a sphere hunter alongside Rikku. However, the discovery of a sphere recording that seems to show Tidus throws her back into a life of adventure. It turns out that the recording is not Tidus but Shuyin, an unsent with destructive intentions. After defeating him, Yuna is reunited with the real Tidus if certain requirements in the game are met. But in the audio drama, -Will-, their relationship faces new challenges, leading to a heartbreaking break-up. However, as Sin returns, Tidus promises to stand by Yuna once more.
