Final Fantasy X-2 takes place two years
after the end of the previous game.
This is where we see the latest Rikku.
Rikku has traveled throughout Spira countless times;
she knows the places and the people, unlike before.
As her new outfit points out very clearly,
Rikku is now open to anything and everything.
This is the 100% outgoing Rikku.
She even camped out in the Thunder Plains
to overcome her fear of lightning,
which in Final Fantasy X she screamed and
complained about until the party left the area.
She is also open to meeting new people
and would easily strike up a conversation with just about anyone.
Rikku has gained responsibility, trust, and an open heart throughout the journey.
She really puts herself out there and doesn't hold back like she used to.
