Yes, the Elder is seen all throughout the Esper world scene.
I didn't realize the Goddesses had such a passive role in the war.
It's never said they did anything else. Only that they fought amongst themselves and humans got caught in the crossfire. They are the ultimate cause of the war, they created the Espers after all.
With regard to Odin fighting for the humans... it's possible there were more than just two factions in the conflict. There were only two groups involved - Espers and humans - but there may have been sub-groups of the two. Why would Odin fight against his own kind? It could be that he wanted to preserve unity between humankind and Espers, whereas his enemies wanted one side to annihilate the other. Some could have been fighting for the destruction of the other species, some fighting for control or dominance, and some fighting to bring an end to the dispute.
One subgroup is the "Mage Knights". I remember something about they being hunted by other people, so they had to hide... I know that the Mage Knights who survived are the ancestors of the people from Thamasa.
But I don't know if they existed during the War Of The Magi... I guess they existed by that time, since their power was drained from Espers.
I've seen the future, brother. It is murder.
The Mage Knights would have had to exist during the war, especially because Strago mentions something about how the Espers left them there, or 'after the Espers left' in reference to the humans hunting them. By the end of the war, a scapegoat was needed, and the Mage Knights made the perfect place to lay the blame.
And as for factions within the group, I'm sure there were all sorts on both sides, just as with every other conflict.
Ok, so.. The mage knights were on the espers side? And, at what point of the war did the goddesses turn into stone?
I doubt it, if they were draining Espers to get their magical powers. It's similar to what the Empire does in the present.
Although it's possible that some Espers collaborated with the Mage Knights.
The Goddesses most likely turned themselves into stone statues at the end of the War.
Oh ok, so the espers were just chillin for some of the war?
I found some info on some of the espers from my old Anthologies save that I thought was interesting.
Golem- "Like Alexander, this Esper was made before the war."
Alexander- "Mages brought this ancient machine to life"
So, we can assume that these two espers were basically creations? Thats cool, can anyone give some background info on them, if any background info exists at all?
It's possible they are sentient magitek devices, I suppose.
Listen, you played the same copy of FF6 that we all did. There's not some secret section you missed with a vast history of the war.
I think this is quiet a good one. Cause if I remember correctly Odin fall in love with a human queen. Maybe this is kind like of Romeo/Julia story or more like Westside. Two groups fighting each other, but a girl from one group falls in love with a guy from the other group. And they want peace. But it didn't happen. So maybe the girl died and the guy then sacrificed himself in front of everybody. The godesses were hit by this and ended the war by turning themself in stone.Originally Posted by Big D
Moogle:
1. Catlike creature. Has a large red ball on it's head attached by a long hair. Some can fly. Some can fight. Some are lazy bastards. All say Kupo (or Puu)
Odin was turned to stone by an enemy, as was the Queen. Odin probably went down first. It seemed like Odin had been on the side of that Queen and her castle for quite some time, because of the way the Queen describes her feelings for Odin.
okay, to sum it all up. 3 goddessess started figting each other. They somehow divied up the human race into 3 groups, one for each goddess. Chances are that at least some humans weren't involved in the war. Each group was divided into 3 subcatagories, humans, espers (humans infused with magic by a goddess), and mage nights(humans infused with magic by absorbing power through magicite, the remains of a dead esper.). Odin fought alongside a queen because she had a fobidden love for him. They were both turned to stone in an assault on their castle. The dragons and Atma(along with the Atma Weapon) are presumeably from the war era. In my opinion Atma was but the dragons were from a time before and were simply used in the war. It's also assumed the dragons were sealed during the time of the war. At some point the goddessess realized the war was tearing thier world apart so the agreed to turn themselves into statues and balance thier power. I believe Atma was chosen as the gaurdian of the statues. After the war, Espers chose to create an alternate place to live away from the current world. They sealed thier world off from any outsiders. The statues were kept within here to keep them safe. Mage knights were persicuted for thier magical powers. Many of them were hunted down, but a few escaped and started a settlement on the Island of Thamasa.

...
The humans made Mage Knights, not the goddesses. And the name of the island is Thamasa.
