Final Fantasy Type-0
While working on "Final Fantasy XV", Tabata decided to make a high-definition remaster of "Type-0" for eighth-generation consoles. Developed by Square Enix and HexaDrive, "Final Fantasy Type-0 HD" was originally announced at E3 2014, and released worldwide in March 2015. After "Type-0"s release, Tabata stated in an interview that he wished to explore the distant history of Orience after the events of the game. Trademarks for "Type-1", "Type-2" and "Type-3" were registered shortly after the "Type-0" trademark, but it was suggested that they were simply a protective measure. During interviews given in 2014, Tabata commented that he wished to work on "Type-1" after completing "XV", and later explained the conceptual "Type" series as a means of publishing "Final Fantasy" games too experimental for the main series. He hoped to continue with the "Type" series if "Type-0 HD" was commercially successful.
Tidus
Tidus makes few appearances in the plot of the 2003 sequel, "Final Fantasy X-2", although meeting him is the player's objective. Two years after the events of "Final Fantasy X", Yuna sees a sphere with a young man (resembling Tidus) trapped in a prison. She joins the Gullwings, a sphere-hunting group, and travels around Spira in the hope of finding more clues that Tidus is alive. The individual in the sphere is later revealed as Shuyin. Depending on the player's development during the game, the "fayth" will appear to Yuna at the end and tell her that they can make Tidus return to her. He then appears in Spira, and he and Yuna are reunited. In another final scene, Tidus (unsure whether or not he is still a dream) wants to remain with Yuna. He is also an unlockable character as Star Player, a blitzball player. In "Final Fantasy X-2: International + Last Mission" (the game's updated version), Tidus is a playable character for battles. An extra episode, set after the original game's play-through, reveals that he is living in Besaid with Yuna. An illusion of Tidus also appears as a boss character.
Tidus' dialogue, monologues and songs were included on the "Final Fantasy X Vocal Collection" and "feel/Go dream: Yuna & Tidus" CDs. Although he does not fully understand that he is not the "fayth" dream, Tidus feels that disappearing would be preferable to making Yuna cry again. The novel "Final Fantasy X-2.5 ~Eien no Daishou~", set after "Final Fantasy X-2", explores Tidus and Yuna's visit to Besaid Island 1,000 years before. The HD remastered version of "Final Fantasy X" and "Final Fantasy X-2", "Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster", adds an audio drama ("Final Fantasy X: Will") in which Tidus is a new blitzball star who appears to be concealing an injury. After Yuna breaks up with him, Tidus helps her on a quest to defeat a reborn Sin. Tetsuya Nomura made a revision of Tidus's design for this game, hinting it will be used in a possible "Final Fantasy X-3".
