Ask The Fayth: FAQ.

Ask the Fayth.
A FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions.)
About the Game Final Fantasy X And the Game Final Fantasy X-2.
By The Fayth and Aeons.

Here in the Chamber of the Fayth, in every temple save Macalania which sank to the bottom of the Frozen Macalania Lake, we’ve been asked many questions. So I Shiva, Lady Chaos’s Personal Summon have decided to take it into my own hands to write a FAQ So we Fayth can go back to sleep. I will try to answer all of your questions concerning the two games. I will also try to explain to the best of my ability why we the Fayth are what we are. Along with other plot holes and other theories for the Fanfic Writer. Any ways, lets begin shall we?

Question Number One: What is Zanarkand?

Zanarkand is a City made of Machina or Machines. Zanarkand is also where the following people come from. Yunalesca, Jecht, and Tidus. And that old Helpful Guy That tells you the Player, the back story of all of Spira. (Of course that isn’t revealed till FFX-2. So Shhh!)

Question # 2: So Tidus and the others traveled through time?

Not Exactly. There are in fact TWO Zanarkands. The one from 1000 years ago, and the Dream Zanarkand.

Question # 3: Dream Zanarkand?

Yes, The Dream Zanarkand. The Dream Zanarkand is the Zanarkand Where Tidus and Jecht came from. They are the Dreams of the Fayth. The Dream Zanarkand is considered by the Fayth, the great summoning. The Survivors of the Bevelle and Zanarkand War are in fact the Fayth located just outside the ruins of Zanarkand, they are the dreaming Fayth that dream of Zanarkand Eternally.

The location of the Dream Zanarkand in FFX is the large sphere of water just beside the wall of Fayth. This theory has been thought to be correct due to the fact that at the end of the game the sphere of water disentagrated showing drops of water with an individual person inside. One showed Tidus, the Guardian of Yuna, who as the Fayth have called "a dream."

Question # 4: So then, how did Auron Meet Tidus?

Yay! Time for a History lesson!
When Tidus was just a child, His father had gone missing. Nobody ever found him. He just poof disappeared. The date given was “Ten Years and, Three months.”

While Tidus grew up, Jecht was off fighting Fiends, and learning to be a better person, and taking pictures of the Pilgrimage he went on with Auron and Braska. Together they Defeated Sin, Auron had some promises to keep and he became an unsent. Due to Yunalesca striking him dead, after he sought vengence for the deaths of two of his good friends. Found Khimari and sent him to Find Yuna, at Bevelle and bring her to Besaid Island where Yuna met Wakka, Chappu and Lulu. (And a whole plethora of other characters.)

After doing that, according to the Game history he found Rin who took care of him for one night, and then left to go to Zanarkand to Find Tidus. He thus raised Tidus as Tidus’ mother withered away and died.

The idea is that because Auron was an unsent (Dead/ghost type thing) was that he was able to travel though Jecht (as he was the new sin) and went to the dream Zanarkand that way.

Question Five: Whoa. Hold on. Jecht was sin?

Yes , he was. Jecht became the Final Aeon and then turned on Braska and Killed Braska and became the new sin.

Question #6 You’re kidding right??

I can see that history will be used a-lot in this. In order for Lord Braska to gain the Final Aeon in the Ruins of Zanarkand, he needed to choose someone to become the Aeon. Jecht Volunteered.

Question # 7: But why did he turn on Braska?

He was possessed by the entity known as Yu-Yevon. The one behind the rebirth of Sin every Ten years. After each Final Aeon that becomes a new sin, is destroyed, the new Final Aeon is thus then also Possessed, and turns on the Summoner. That Summoner dies. And then what is known as a Calm Begins.

Question # 8 What is a Calm?

The Calm is a time of peace without Sin. It lasts for Ten years, and during these ten years people are at peace, and Yu Yevon regains his strength. And thus is reborn using the Final Aeon to create an armor.

Question # 9. So then how does one defeat this Yu Yevon?

Well, Jecht liked the Hymn of the Fayth. So everyone in Spira sang it to distract that part of Sin, while Tidus, and the others in the game fought him. Eventually you meet Jecht and talk to him. You then fight him in the form known as Braska’s Final Aeon. When he’s defeated he dies, as he is also a dream of the fayth. Then Yu Yevon makes his presence known. Yuna then sacrificed all of the aeons in the game. Thus Yu Yevon had no where to go, and was destroyed.

During the final Sending Auron was sent to the Farplane and Tidus Disappeared. He was the Dream of the Fayth. Thus the game ended.

Question #10: *Note* This was never covered in the Orginal FAQ, and since it applies to FFX, I decided to add it to this part of the FAQ.

The Question it self hails from one Crystal B and she Asks: Why did Yuna Get Married?

A: Well Crystal, I had a hard time trying to write a good answer, simply because I was unsure if you meant in the Fanfic of in FFX. So after thinking for a while I realized that Yuna wasn't Married in the Fanfic, but in FFX, to Seymore. I still had some Problems with writing a decent answer, so I went to the lovely Live Journal Community for FFX, and asked your question there. So Credit for this Answer goes to the people who promptly replied. Here are Their Answers, edited of course with the proper spelling of Names.

Answer Part One: *Provided by Jumon_rakkyaku , a Live Journal User.*

Well, I think the biggest reason was to give Spira something to be happy about. I rember Lulu saying something like "It would give Spira something happy to talk about, for a change". She also had the Sphere of Lord Jyscal, and although the happiness was her cover, I think that she also did it so that she could try and get on the inside about the murder of Jyscal by Seymour.

Answer Part Two: *Provided by: nabilpsyboy , in addition to the above Comment.*

Yea thats basically the reason which is to make everyone happy. Even though she knew Seymour wasn't the best of..er..people to marry, she knew the people looked up to him because he was a Mayster that was half human, half guado. So his link to people was pretty strong in his power sense. So marrying him would be sort of like the old days when two super powers would marry their children to bring peace. this would be bringing two powers and greatly admired/ well known people together to help the world of spira get rid of its biggest enemy, Sin.

hope i didnt make it confusing im kinda tired....

Part Three: *Provided by Me, but not at the LJ Comm.*

I agree with these two reasons. Yet we also have to take into consideration, that after Seymore was killed in a Battle with Yuna and her Guardians, he had become an unsent. Inshort, Yuna ended up marrying a dead half human half Guado aka, an Unsent, and she didn't like it.

Basically by the time of the wedding, after Tidus and Crew crashed the wedding, Mayster Mica pointed out that if Yuna tried to Send Seymore, her guradians and loyal friends would be killed. So she sacrificed herself to save her friends.

In short, what had first been a decision for the people of Spira, and trying to stop Seymore once and for all, turned into a forced Union between Mayster Seymore, and Lady Yuna.

Thanks go to those who helped answer this particular Question.

Question: How could Yu Yevon possess the aeons if she didn't summon them?

First of all, Yu Yevon is a He. I’ll let the typo slide. Yu Yevon is Yunalescas Father.

The act of Yu Yevon possesing the Fayth in their Summoned forms is really quite simple.

Forgive me this will be a bit long in explanation. During the Machina war, the peoples of Bevelle were at Mt. Gagazet, readying a final strike against Zanarkand. It was here that they heard what is now known as the "Hymn of the Fayth". A loud and beautiful chorus, the soldiers panicked and ran, saying "It is a song from an otherworld!" and then Sin Appeared and gave chase. .

A few days later, scouts braved the mountain and they saw Zanarkand, destroyed. All the peoples gone. They also saw on Gagazet, a gathering of Fayth. Singing the song.

Rumors flew in Bevelle, they said the people of Zanarkand had become fayth and that they had called sin. They also said the man responsible was Yu Yevon.

Now, we know Yu Yevon was a summoner. However, he must not have been alive when Sin appeared. I believe he killed himself after the people of Zanarkand became fayth, and as an unsent fiend, (The blobby wood tick - final boss in FFX) possessed some of the fayth gathered, and created what the Fayth in Bevelle called "His Armor".

For more information on this: I refer you to the questions below.

Question: How could Yu Yevon be in charge of the summoning he wasn't a fayth. And how come Maechen the scholar did not disappear or didn't become a dream of the fayth?

Answer:

To Start. Yu Yevon was the King of Zanarkand, and he himself from what I have gathered based upon back story from Maechen in FFX, -when he was at the base of Mt. Gagazet- was most likely a summoner.

You don’t need to be a Fayth to be in charge of the final summoning. It is the Summoner that makes a pact or bond that allows the spirit locked away in the fayth statues to take on the forms of the statues.

The process to make a fayth is a sacred ancient Yevon practice, known only to those in the temple when the Yevon Faith was first implemented by Lady Yunalesca after she escaped from Zanarkand on the eve of Zanarkands destruction, the "The End of the Machina War". It was she who taught the peoples of the temples the act of summoning, and sendings; and thus started what Auron so bitterly calls the "Spiral of Death" as well as the "Teachings of Yevon"

It was also Lady Yunalesca who first destroyed Sin the first time, most likely in exchange for implementing the Yevon Faith. She had turned her lover, Husband and guardian Lord Zaon into a fayth statue based upon their bond, and love for each other, and he became her final summon.. Once Sin was destroyed, Yu Yevon, who’s physical body was probably already dead, possessed the Summon and thus Lord Zaon, in his fayth form attacked and killed Lady Yunalesca.

However, since there was no summoner to perform the sending for Lady Yunalesca, she became an unsent, and became the "Harvester of Souls" an unsent trapped in Zanarkand, waiting for future summoners to make their pilgrimage to Zanarkand and grant the Final Summon to them.

I hope that answers this bit.

Moving on, you asked about Maechen.

I am not sure if this will be a spoiler for you or not, but you have asked a good question so I will answer it.

Maechen, is not a dream of the fayth.

He is an unsent, an old man who while in life met Lenne(FFX-2) when Zanarkand was a beautiful mechanical utopia. I am uncertain as to how he died, probably in his sleep peacefully. However, I like to think that he had such a strong love for the histories of Spira and its peoples that he stayed behind and became an unsent. He traveled from place to place, telling his stories.

He was not sent, at the end of FFX because he was not near what I call "Yunas last Dance" He was actually at the Besaid Temple when she preformed it. Thus, he plays a wonderful, strong, and key role in his own side story in FFX-2. Basically, he was a wandering spirit with many memories, and upon meeting Yuna for the last time in Zanarkand, he revealed to her, Rikku, and Paine, -as well as several monkeys- his memories of meeting Jecht, Braska and Auron before they finished the last stretch to Zanarkand.

After this scene he himself faded away. He wasn’t sent, he just faded away leaving pyreflies to mix and mingle with the ones that haunt Zanarkand.

I hope these are what you’re looking answer wise, and please, if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

We are currently working on more questions and answers for FFX-2.

Below is a form for anybody who might have a question and would like to see it answered.

Ask the Fayth was written and still being written to this day, because so many of my fellow friends have always asked me question about the game.
