I understand what you mean about there being little of the old Spira, but what else can one expect in a sequal? The big bad Sin is gone and the people no longer fear impending doom. Considering FFX-2's premise, FFX's music would be hard to fit in, for one. In two years (was it two years? I can't remember, been forever since I played it) these people rebuilt and rejoiced in their newfound freedom. It's hard to expect anything hauntingly beautiful when the cause of such emotions are gone. Yuna being bubbly and happy was a slap in the face, but considering the change of environment and no more martyr-summoner duties looming over her head, I thought it was fine that she kind of let loose, just like how the rest of Spira enjoyed themselves. I do criticize how the game suddenly thrusts you in this world and expects you to believe that everyone is happy and dancing around rather than bridge the gap between the old and new Spira, but that's what happened. They've moved on, they've changed. Even if they chose to focus on events right after FFX's ending, as a transitional phase, it would have been a more mellow version of the current X-2 plot and most likely harder to fit. I refrain comment on whether or not that could have been better...

I agree that I would've loved to see more of that quiet and somber Spira, but the moment Sin died and everyone was free, I knew a sequal could not and would not emulate such a world again. To that end, I do think that FFX is perfectly fine without FFX-2 because it makes little effort to continue although I felt it was because there wasn't much to continue. I personally consider X-2 to be a sort of happy spin-off that shows a happier and diverse Spira.
