Dream Zanarkand

It's a cool theory, but it kinda doesn't make sense considering in the very first scene of the game Sin shows up in DZ and blows it to high hell. Instead its more likely Jecht dreams of DZ and therefore being a faith, is able to reproduce some of it.

After reading some more there is some holes in my theory, after all its confirmed that DZ is east or west of zanarkand, not only that, after being defeated, yu-yevon is still yet too recreate his sin body mass ect, therefor auron would have too be sucked up alot later.

Still would of been a nice idea tho

Interesting. Last time I heard this debate, it seemed commonly accepted that DZ is located on Sin's back. You can see buildings sat on top of Sin in various battles with it..

Not that it explains how Sin turns up at DZ to destroy it at the beginning of the game. Maybe that was a vision, or a dream-Sin? It would seem that DZ is still around and not actually destroyed so maybe... I don't know, it resets, like restarting a Holodeck scene in Star Trek or something.

FF plots are not exactly known for making a great deal of sense are they :P

well, this thought had crossed my mind, maybe a dream that resets. It WOULD fit perfectly if not for jecht being removed from the dream at some point. If jecht isn't in the reset, the whole things void.

Buildings on Sin's back would be obvious and yeah, having it show up inside of its own back is a little bit strange

[Cloudane]

Here's what I mean (not that it shows many buildings, but you could consider it a bit like the old overworld maps where a couple of buildings is actually a deformed representation of a much bigger town)



You'd think there'd be a lot of earthquakes and floods though. Maybe that sucker has inertial dampers, shields and a fake sky

According to the Final Fantasy X Scenario Ultimania, Dream Zanarkand exists near Baaj Temple, but it is inaccessible to Spirans as no one knows of its location besides Sin.

You can read more about Dream Zanarkand on the Final Fantasy Wiki. The article has a lot of interesting points that are not found in the game. It is a shame that they release ideas like this only in those books. This is something that could have been easily mentioned in the game.

I'm about to read this link.

I think it's really interesting it's near Baaj! And I agree, they should put this stuff IN the game, so that it has more depth. Why wouldn't you have pertinent info IN the game? Oh, Square.

Oh, Cloudane! I had forgotten all about those little structures. That's very interesting. Good spotting!

[Cloudane]

Ah, Ultimania! I keep forgetting those exist and usually have the answers we seek I'm guessing it's a book that can be bought, so maybe that's why they don't include such details in the game hehe.

It's a pity there was no proper overworld and steerable airship, so you could spot it even if you couldn't land there.

Yeah odd with the structures! I guess it's just bits of cities that got stuck in the guy when he went charging around in a rampage, but there you go.

I guess my thing has always been--and I could just be overthinking it--I don't understand how DZ is a dream, but exists in the physical, to the point where people can travel there back and forth (if they are aware of the location.)

Helps if you think about Dream Zanarkand as less of a dream and more like an Aeon (or perhaps more accurately, thousands of Aeons).
