Final Fantasy X/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

*** Tidus definitely freaks out about, saying he's never seen anything like that, and the others are likewise confused that he's never seen magic before. It's kinda odd, since it never comes up after the tutorial on how to use magic, but if I had to guess the answer, I'd say magic runs the risk of destabilizing Dream Zanarkand (just as Sin's presence seemed to be warping the buildings when it flew into the city), so its inhabitants are "programmed" not to know about it.

** It's just a background decoration, probably meant to imply that Zanarkand is such an advanced civilization (look at their [[Magitek]] blitzball stadium, far more hi-tech than Luca's) that they can afford to show off their control of the elements with such awe-striking monuments.

 

* What did people do in Spira before Sending was invented? How did life ever develop on Spira? Unless someone dies at peace (something so rare it's almost unheard of, if Yuna's reaction to seeing Tidus's mom in the Farplane is any indication) or they get sent, then they turn into a Fiend or an Unsent, and the huge majority of them turn into Fiends. So while people were still figuring out the whole Sending thing, what kept the world from being totally overrun with Fiends? Even during Final Fantasy X, there are schools of aquatic, voraciously predatory Fiends that would probably wreak havoc on the ocean's ecosystem, and every land environment has Fiends roaming all over the place. I'd ask why we don't see more native animals, but there seems to be a reasonable explanation... the Fiends are killing them all, just like the Chocobo Eater preys on chocobos! So what happened for those first few millions years while humanity was still banging on rocks and nobody knew what a Sending was? If Spira's overrun with fiends now, with summoners all over the place, what in the world was it like when nobody was getting sent and almost ''every single person who died turned into a Fiend''? How is Spira not a Fiend-ruled wasteland by the time the present day rolls around?
