That still doesn't explain why they based their decision solely on the fans reaction over at JP. And still doesn't explain the plotholes and inconsistencies in the content of FFX.
As I said, it may not have been based solely on cut content of FFX, but to consider entirely that FFX was a complete game with no cut content and that FFX-2 wasn't based on any cut content of FFX is a bit naive. Squaresoft always cuts content out of their games, mainly because they put many more ideas that they can implement.
