Luca (Final Fantasy X)

Luca is a port at the southern tip of Spira's main continent in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. Luca houses Spira's only blitzball stadium, and is the home of the Luca Goers, one of the best teams in the league. It is the second largest city in Spira, after Bevelle.

Final Fantasy X
Yuna stops by Luca on her pilgrimage for three reasons: one, it is the closest mainland port from Kilika; two, Wakka and the Besaid Aurochs are going to participate in the blitzball tournament; and three, Tidus may know someone in Luca, being a blitzball player.

After the S.S. Winno docks at the Luca port, Tidus is introduced to Grand Maester Mika and the newly ordained Maester, Seymour Guado. During his speech Seymour notices Yuna within the crowd. After hearing Auron has been spotted at the city's café, Tidus and Yuna head into the main town in search of him. In the café, Kimahri is distracted from his duty as Guardian when he is confronted by two Ronso, Yenke and Biran.

In his altercation with them, Yuna is kidnapped by the Al Bhed who demand the Besaid Aurochs forfeit their opening game against the Al Bhed Psyches in exchange for her safe return. Lulu, Tidus and Kimahri cross the docks to rescue Yuna, and are met with Al Bhed machina. After destroying waves of enemies, they finally reach Dock 4, board an Al Bhed ship, and fight Oblitzerator on the deck. Yuna is rescued safe and sound, and the Besaid Aurochs win the game in the last thirty seconds.

The Aurochs proceed onto the final against the Luca Goers, where Tidus plays in Wakka's place, as he was injured in the last game. In the second half, Tidus leaves the sphere pool and lets Wakka play one last game of blitzball with his team. Proceeding the chaos in the stadium after the match, Auron asks to be Yuna's guardian, before also asking on Tidus's behalf.

After leaving Luca, the Save Spheres provide access to the Luca Blitzball Stadium from almost any location in Spira.

Final Fantasy X-2
Luca does not play a major part in the main plot of Final Fantasy X-2, although the Gullwings can find some items of value here. The game starts at a concert in Luca, seemingly held by Yuna, who is revealed to be an imposter that stole the real Yuna's Garment Grid in order to take on her appearance and ruin her reputation. Rikku and Paine decide to infiltrate the concert to get back Yuna's Garment Grid, while Yuna hides away in disguise.

Trying to keep a low profile, Yuna promotes 'her' concert and hands out balloons to people until she hears Rikku says the concert is starting in her communicator. After Rikku and Paine crash the concert, the fake Yuna tries to make a getaway.

In pursuit, the two girls lose track of her and are confronted by Logos and Ormi. Relieved to finally get out of her moogle costume, Yuna joins Rikku and Paine in battle against Logos and Ormi. YRP then confronts the fake Yuna, who returns Yuna's Garment Grid and reveals herself to be Leblanc, leader of their rival sphere hunting group, the Leblanc Syndicate. After battling Leblanc, she and her two goons make a hasty retreat.

Later throughout the course of the game, Yuna participates in a TV interview with Shelinda, plays in a Sphere Break tournament, joins a new blitzball team (although the player can only manage the team this time rather than playing themselves), and follows a moogle (that only she can see) that leads her to remember the moments she had with Tidus in Luca two years ago.

Sphere Theater
At the Sphere Theater, various spheres are available that, when purchased, can be listened to or viewed at the theater's main hall. Music spheres provide most of the background music in their respective games, including selections not available on soundtrack releases.

Movie spheres allow for reviewing full-motion videos, pre-rendered scenes from their respective games, though subtitles are not available for the theater. Generally, the player must have encountered a given song or video before its sphere is available for purchase.

Final Fantasy X
Music and Movie Spheres can only be purchased in their listed order. Buying every sphere in the theater in the Final Fantasy X HD Remaster version earns the Theater Enthusiast trophy.

Music Spheres
Music Spheres are 2000 gil each. After purchasing #M01—M68, #M69—M71 are available exclusively as a 40,000 gil "Special Music Sphere Set".

Movie Spheres
Movie Spheres are 5000 gil each. While subtitles are not available, vibration is fully functional. All movies' music starts at their tops, so scenes that began in the middle of a song during gameplay will not begin in that same part of the track in the theater. Additionally, real-time elements will not be rendered in the theater (especially noticeable in Otherworld).

Final Fantasy X-2
Music and movie spheres can be purchased out of order (though they are automatically ordered when selecting them for listening/viewing), though some are only available in a New Game Plus.

Music Spheres
Music spheres are 1000 gil each.

Movie Spheres
Movie spheres are 2000 gil each.

Musical Themes
The predominant musical theme in Luca is called "Luca". "Grand Maester Mika" plays when Maester Mika appears in Luca. "Decision On The Dock" is played when the party is pursuing the Al Bhed. "The Splendid Performance" is played just before the blitzball final.

In Final Fantasy X-2, Luca has a different theme song, though it is still called "Luca".

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call
The Luca concert stage appears in a Battle Music Sequence.

Final Fantasy X

 * The theme from Final Fantasy IX known as "Queen Brahne Appears - The Play Begins" can be heard in the FMV when the player first arrives in Luca, as the camera pans down one of the streets. Just before this, "Rufus' Welcoming Ceremony" from Final Fantasy VII can be heard.
 * Numerous areas of Luca have of words in Spiran script written on the backgrounds. The blitzball stadium has logos that spell "NK Travels" and "BBC" (possible in-game blitzball sponsor and TV network), the Luca theater has signs that spell "Gilventure", and the bar where Auron is thought to be has a menu with a list of items in Spiran script, including whiskey, beer, wine, cocktail and nuts.
 * When in Luca the first time Yuna tells Tidus she heard Auron is in a cafe and they set out to look for him. There is a location in Luca Square labelled "Cafe" in Spiran script, however the player can only enter the establishment with the sign that reads "Bar". Thus, Tidus and Yuna didn't find Auron because they looked from the wrong place.
 * Approaching dock number 4, a dolphin can clearly be seen swimming in the sea.
 * In the Blitzball final against the Luca Goers, Tidus is usually switched out for Wakka at the 3 minute mark in the second half, however, if one allows the Luca Goers to score a goal and the player subsequently scores a further two goals before this point, Tidus will encourage the crowd to cheer and the commentator will be amazed at the Aurochs' comeback. Whatever time is left at this point is ignored and the scene where the crowd cheer for Wakka will play.

Final Fantasy X-2

 * Though the dialogue prompt reads "sphere theater", the location name in the main menu is given as "Theatre".
 * Blitzball Stadium serves as the final scene location for both Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2.
 * Despite the fall of Yevon, the banners around the Luca dock still sport the symbol of Yu Yevon.
