what I liked about X-2, now that I started to pay attention more and have the knowledge to analyze it, is that there's a lot of emphasis on how fundamental changes can really become noticeable in places where opportunity develops. Like Kilika is seen as the prime example of the political tensions and it has the reasoning that they feel the Crusaders (or Youth League) were the ones who benefited them the most in comparison to anything Yevon, even though in the past it didn't seem like it would be the place where Yevon as a structure would've impacted them in the same way that it would for people who took up headquarters near Sin's battlefield around Djose.
Or the destruction of family unit and relationships between Dona and Barthello, who both have difficulty reconciling on who to keep supporting (or if they need a cause to support), and the separation between Isaaru and his brothers with the youngest one being... strangely blind to it, but he found his own gang to be with so I guess that was a new way to supplant his family by creating a new one.
It still jars me a bit how there is an overall blurring between what is sacred and what is mundane, what with places like Zanarkand and Djose temple having to get different people to try to keep it active, but at the same time no one really wants to say that some things should be held on a pedestal without wanting to sound like they're taking an ideological side.
