Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Final Fantasy X

Brother trying to kidnap Yuna.

Tidus: They say Seymour went to Macarena Temple.

Wakka: Macalania Temple.

Tidus: Aye!

Tidus telling the party of where Seymour went.

Yuna and her guardians arrive to the snowy reaches of the lake and meet with Seymour's servant Tromell. They are ambushed by a group of Al Bhed who want to kidnap Yuna to stop her summoner's pilgrimage. The group's leader is Rikku's brother, and when she confronts him in her native tongue, she reveals her true heritage to Wakka. Yuna and her guardians destroy the Al Bhed's machina cannon and the Al Bhed retreat, but Wakka is upset with the revelation of one of Yuna's guardians being a heretic Al Bhed, and how everyone hid this from him.

Kimahri gets onto a snowmobile.

Tromell takes Yuna away to see Seymour at the temple while the others, bar Wakka who decides to walk, ride machina sleds to the temple. If Tidus rides with Rikku, she reveals she is Yuna's cousin and articulates in a roundabout way that Yuna will die if she continues her pilgrimage, but Tidus does not realize this. If Lulu travels with Tidus, he asks her if a human can ever become Sin, and she finally believes he is not from Spira.

Final Fantasy X-2

Lake Macalania.

Following their banishment from Guadosalam, the diminished effect of the Guado's protection and the disappearance of the fayth caused the lake to melt, and the temple sank to the bottom of Lake Macalania. As such, the road ends at the Travel Agency and the temple is not accessible. Its aeon, Shiva, is fought in the Farplane rather than the temple as a result.

O'aka XXIII bought the travel agency from Rin with money he borrowed from the Al Bhed. After the temple sank he was left with no customers and unable to pay his debt. Al Bhed come looking for him at the travel agency and O'aka escapes to the woods of Macalania. The Gullwings can chase him down and ask him to join them on the Celsius, or they can hand him over to the Al Bhed.

If the Gullwings hand him over to the Al Bhed, O'aka is seen digging in Bikanel in an effort to pay off his debt. If the Gullwings take him aboard Celsius, O'aka sets up a shop and uses the money he makes to pay to the Al Bhed. If O'aka manages to pay off his debt before Chapter 3, he returns to the travel agency and reopens his shop, after the Gullwings save it from being taken over by fiends. His brother, Wantz, eventually joins him.

Spoilers end here.
