So has anyone here beat FFx-2 and want to spoil it for me. I honestly couldn't put up with beating that game. Its too terrible. Do they ever go to the far plane and find Auron/Tidus?
Don't worry about it... FFX-2 is terrible, so much so that it actually ruins the story of the first. So bad that it almost makes FFX impossible to have ever happened.
It's a terrible, terrible, shit excuse for a game that isn't even worth discussing. You're far better off not knowing as knowing how X-2 turns out only ruins the experiance of X.
But if you really want to know....

X-2 tells you that Tidus was actually some other guy that lived durring the great war between the machina users and the summoners. This Tidus guy (Sorry, I can't remember his real name) is in love with a summoner in Xanarkand... he knows that when the war starts, the summoners will lose and his lover will die.
The government has a hidden death robot under the city... it's super strong and automatically kills all hostile threats in the area. But it's too dangerous to turn on as it can figure out who's a friendly thread and who's an unfriendly threat (IE: In battle, it'll kill everyone, not just the enemy). The Tidus dude doesn't know this and thinks that if he turns on the hidden death robot he can win the war and save the life of his lover, so he breaks in and tries to start the machine.
Tidus's lover finds out and goes to stop him. She gets there just seconds before Tidus presses the on button... she convinces him not to turn it on as the government guards rush into the room. Either they start the machine, or they get killed by the guards. Understanding the risk, he doesn't turn the machine on and both of them are killed by the guards.

The main problem, aside from the atroshious game play revolving around dressing up in fancy costumes and practicing your dance moves for your upcoming Britney Spears-like concert is that it completly destroys the story behind X.
In FFX we're told that after Xanarkand was destroyed the surviovrs all fled with the greatest summonr of all time to that mountain the furry guys lived on (Sorry, names escape me... it's been a while). There they all decided to die. When dead they would dream of their lives in Xanarkand and the really strong summoner would mend with those spirits and dreams and resummon them (and the entire city) back to life. But because summons can be destroyed, he needed to protect the new dream xanarkand. This is where Sin comes in... the summoner built Sin as a protective shell around the summond city of Xanarkand to insure nobody would ever hurt the city or it's people ever again.
But here's the thing... if Tidus dies before the war even starts, how does he survive the attack to flee to the mountain to dream of himself in the city to be resummoned in Xanarkand to be pulled out by Auron to start the story of FFX?
They don't answer that... probably because they don't care. X-2 was so bad I get the feeling this thought never even crossed their minds. It's possible I guess that somebody else was dreaming of Tidus but that means Tidus isn't real and Yuna will never see him ever again.
But i find it really odd that somebody else would dream of Tidus as somebody who is completly unlike the real Tidus... and who's dreaming of him? Possibly the father? They don't say... which kind of defeates the purpose of the game.
If you get the "Good" ending in X-2, the little boy from the first shows up and redreams Tidus for Yuna... I guess this is a happy ending. But all in all, Tidus never existed. He looks like somebody that did exist but that guy and Tidus are two diffrent people. The real guy has no idea who Yuna is, he has no memories of Tidus's experiances outside of sin, and the only way Yuna will ever see Tidus is if somebody dreams of him.
