A cinematic shot of Tidus and Yuna later in the game.
I found a picture of Tidus, Yuna and Auron fighting Omega Weapon. YAY!
Story (Caution, huge spoilers!)
The plot of Final Fantasy X centers primarily around Yevon, Spira's dominant religion. A centuries-old and immensely powerful organization, the Church of Yevon strictly forbids the use of any sort of advanced technology (or "machina"), with the effect that Spira is essentially devoid of computers, motorized vehicles, or automated weaponry or machinery. The Yevon clergy preaches that the destructive force known as Sin which periodically lays waste to Spira was in fact sent by Yevon to punish the people for their use of machina and for their hubris they developed with the advent of machinery. If the Spirans keep to the teachings of the church and continue to repent their transgression, however, Sin will eventually disappear and never return again.
Although the majority of Final Fantasy X's story takes place in the world of Spira, it begins in the teeming machina metropolis of Zanarkand, the home city of the main character, Tidus. When Zanarkand is suddenly attacked by the monstrous entity Sin, Tidus (along with his longtime mentor Auron) is sucked into Sin's vortex and emerges to find himself alone in the ruins of a deserted Spiran temple.
Tidus is picked up by a group of Al Bhed, members of an indigenous Spiran ethnic group ostracized by the Yevonites for their continued used of machina. They speak their own language, a substitution cipher of English which can be deciphered using Al Bhed primers scattered throughout the world. He meets the energetic young Al Bhed girl Rikku, who is the daughter of Cid, leader of the Al Bhed. Rikku speaks his language, and informs Tidus that Zanarkand was destroyed a millennium ago. Tidus is incredulous, and Rikku tells him since he was in contact with Sin, he must be suffering the adverse effects of Sin's toxin. Tidus is brought aboard the Al Bhed ship, but after only a short time is swept out to sea in another attack from Sin.
This time, Tidus is washed up near the small town of Besaid, where he meets Wakka, apparently a blitzball player and captain of the local team (the Besaid Aurochs). Tidus shows Wakka and the Aurochs a powerful kick move he knew as a blitzball player. Wakka, impressed, takes Tidus with him to the town, where he is introduced to most of the rest of the playable cast through various levels of blundering explained away by Tidus' "amnesia". Yuna (of Bevelle, and daughter of High Summoner Braska) has just completed her initiation as a summoner of Yevon, one who is charged to defeat Sin. She sets out on her quest, along with guardians Wakka, Lulu (also of Besaid), and Kimahri Ronso (of the Ronso tribe). Later, the guardian Auron (the one who fought alongside Tidus in Zanarkand) joins the party, as does Rikku of the Al Bhed.
Tidus soon learns that the Zanarkand he is from was destroyed some thousand years in the past. Sin was forced into remission ten years ago, by a force comprising High Summoner Braska, the warrior Auron, and Jecht. Tidus wonders if the Auron he knows could possibly be the same in this new era, and if the man called Jecht could actually be his father, assumed dead at sea ten years before (from Tidus' perspective of time). Ultimately, the party must confront Sin, unravel the mysteries of its perpetual return, and figure out exactly how Tidus and his father Jecht fit into this mystery.
