Alternate theory to Vaan being Solidor

[champagne supernova]

Rasler died on Nalbina which holds one of the nethicite shards (midlight?).
Since this placed was filled with mist it´s not dificult to have his soul going to the mines and then to she Garasmythway sewers ending on Lowtown.The same happened to all of the dead inhabitants.

Rasler died in Nalbina Fortress, which never held any of the Nethicite Shards. The Nethicite shards were held in Rabanastre, Nabradia and the Tomb of Raithwall. There is no mist around Nalbina fortress whatsoever. I'm surprised you would make such a fundamental mistake and think that Nabradia and Nalbina are the same place.

You probably didn´t played FFXII because I saw mist around the fortress on the first mission.And people called the shard "the Light".

They don't call the shard "the Light". It is called the Midligh Shard. And, whereas you believe it to be in Nalbina Fortress, it is explicitly stated in the game that it was housed in Nabudis, the Capital of Nabradia. Judge Zecht unleashed its power on the city, thereby creating the Dreadlands (and hence why that area is covered in mist). There is definitely no mist around the fortress. The only mist is below the dungeons.

And, finally, in the opening FMV, you see Basch carry Rassler's fallen body out of Nalbina. And Reks, in a in-game cutscene, is shown to be at a hospital, where Vaan visits him. It is therefore most likely that Reks is in Rabanastre.

So don't accuse me of not playing the game.

I saw mist around the fortress on the Reks quest.
The Light is that thing that falls on the beginning and his guarded by the Order.

That's a Paling, a magical barrier that's nearly invulnerable. They appear, or at least are mentioned, in Vagrant Story where they're used to keep "the Dark" out of human cities.

There is no mist around Nalbina fortress whatsoever.

Sure there is - just not much. It's gotta be thick before it's visible, but it's definitely an almost universally-present substance. After all, Nethicite 'recharges' by absorbing Mist, and mages regain MP by moving through latent Mist - and both can happen in locations where the Mist isn't actually visible.

All the even FF's are connected.

The Mist is actually the fayth from FFX, it allows us to see those we lost. When it concentrates in high density, it can take on other functions, all having to do with spirits, some of which spawning directly from the Mist.

Reks is a soldier who came out of nowher during the assault on Nalbina. Basch didn't recognize him, he wasn't from any unit, the Mist surrounding the fortress created him spontaneously to begin the great quest, beginning with witnessing the King's murder. He also claimed to have a brother named Vaan. He and Vaan may have been real people once. However, they are memories. When Reks was injured and would not be able to continue the journey to save the world, his likeness/duty was passed on to a newly generated entity, the brother Reks thought that he had.

The mist you cannot see infiltrated the minds of Penelo, Kytes and Fido. They all believed they grew up with a young boy named Vaan. This occurrence of the mist, peoples memories, generating a hero, occurs once every 10,000 years, and thus, ladies and gentlemen, I conclude:








Vaan = Tidus.

Thank you.

Are you the same kind of person who thinks the dinosaurs are a conspiracy theory and red M&M's cause cancer?

I think Bolivar forgot to mention that Gabranth is really the future reincarnation of Golbez while Basch is the reincarnation of Cecil. Their both brothers, one is good one is evil! The logic is flawless!

Thus I conclude that Venat being the main villain is truly Zeromus hundreds of years later.

[Bolivar]

^Thank you, Bahamut2000x, i almost forgot about that one. We should also not forget that Ashura from FFIV was in her human life Vayne's high school girlfriend, who he killed with his brother after he found out she was cheating on him. It wasn't politics.

The mist concept came from ffix

[champagne supernova]

And you can see by the uncanny resemblance that Venat is Jenova before she left.

FFXII's Mist also functions very similarly to the spirit energy found in FFVII and X, and the Dark from Vagrant Story...

[Future Esthar]

Yeah,but on FF9 it was called mist.And there were the concept of mist trapping life energy on the world.
