Final Fantasy X-2 HD Walkthrough: Ending Guide

There are six possible endings to FFX-2. To see every ending, you must complete specific actions during Chapter 3 and in Chapter 5 after defeating the final boss.

Ending Requirement
Bad Ending Lose the final battle.
Normal Ending A Win the final battle.
Normal Ending B Without seeing the secret scene in Chapter 3, press X in the field of flowers after the last battle.
Good Ending A See the secret scene during Chapter 3, press X in the field of flowers after the last battle, then answer "Yes" to the Fayth's question.
Good Ending B See the secret scene during Chapter 3, press X in the field of flowers after the last battle, then answer "It's better this way" to the Fayth's question.
True Ending Meet the requirements for Good Ending A and finish the game with 100% completion.

How to See the Secret Scenes in FF X-2 HD

To trigger the secret scenes in Chapter 3 and 5 so you can view the best endings:

  1. Talk to Maechen in Guadosalam in Chapter 3.

  2. When Yuna falls into the Farplane in Chapter 3, press the action button (X for the PlayStation versions) repeatedly after Yuna says "I'm all alone." You should hear four whistles and see a brief scene. Keep pressing X until the scene concludes.

  3. Press X as you're leaving the Farplane at the end of the game (just after you see "Chapter 5 Complete").

How to Unlock New Game Plus

Beat the game and get any ending to unlock New Game Plus mode, which lets you start the main story again with all of your dresspheres, garment grids, and items you collected during your first playthrough. Your completion percentage also carries over, but your levels and experience do not. You'll need to play through the game at least twice to achieve 100 percent completion.
