◆ Planning / Director Kikunosuke comment
The masterpiece game Final Fantasy X and Kabuki, a traditional performing arts of Japan, are integrated, and we want to make a new bridge that connects each other, so we planned New Kabuki Final Fantasy X.
The Kabuki performance at the IHI Stage Around Tokyo is the first challenge, but I cherished the shocking and impressive feeling when I played the game at the time of the release, and even those who love games have seen Kabuki. I would like to see those who do not have it. The video reflected on a huge screen of 8 meters high will color the stage, and you will be able to enjoy the immersive feeling as if you are in the world of Final Fantasy! This is a story that resonates with the heart that you want to see. Please come to the theater.

The excitement will not stop from now on.

◆ Story
A world spiral of death, where people live in a great threat Shin. The people are asking the Ebon Temple for their hearts, and the summoners believe in the teaching of the temple that says, The ultimate summon that is activated by life is the only way to defeat Shin. I go on a journey. Even in the ultimate summon, Shin did not die completely and revived after a certain period of time, but the time when Shin did not appear-the Nagi-bushi had a fleeting rest of the people’s hearts.
Yuna, a girl in the Viside Village, was one of the summoners who decided to bring Nagi nodes. The boy Tida, who met her from Zanalcand to Spira, accompanies Yuna as a guard to protect her summoner, despite her unknown world. The destruction of the subjugation squad to confront the Shin, the identity of Shin revealed, and the betrayal of the temple-the shocking events hit the Tiida many times, but they overcome it. Try to keep the story.
