Storyline questions (major FFX spoilers, and some FFX-2 spoilers too)

[ShivaBlizzard8]

una conjures an Aeon in the middle of a battle, doesn't the Fayth still remain inside the Chamber of the Fayth? If we think that way, when someone summons Jecht, let's say it'd be Yuna. If Yuna obtained Jecht as her Aeon and summoned him in some random place, let's say Besaid, Jecht himself wouldn't turn into Braska's Final Aeon. He'd remain inside Sin, but the Aeon would appear in Besaid, where Yuna summoned it. But it isn't that way. Instead, Jecht transforms into an Aeon himself. So a Fayth turns into an Aeon. How can that be?

Okay, that makes SO much more sense now. I see what you mean, and I agree that the game makes it difficult to really understand what exactly a fayth is and why some are Aeons, and whatnot. For instance, all the bodies stuck in the rock at Mt. Gagazet are supposed to be fayth, but I don't see any evidence that they are Aeons you can summon, or that their are any temples to them, etc. What makes fayth like Bahamut and Shiva etc. so special, apart from all the Gagazet fayth?

I certainly don't quite understand that - and I don't think anyone can really say they completely understand the whole fayth/Aeon system either. If they do, I'd love to hear a clear explaination.

However, I'm going to sidesstep that question for a moment and propose a theory about Jecht - might being a dream of other fayth have something to do with it? Is it possible, that because Jecht himself was a creation of the fayth on Gagazet, that he didn't leave a physical fayth behind when he became an Aeon, but just transformed into a perpetually summoned creature willed into existnace by the thoughts of the other fayth and formed by Yevon into Sin? I don't think I explained that very well, but its a thought.

Some more questions about the Fayth that came up to my mind. At the end of FFX, is it exactly said what happens to the Fayth? Do they wake up from their sleep, do they die, or do they just fade away, go to Farplane or something? We know that the Aeons are no more. However, in FFX-2, you can meet Bahamut's Fayth again in the Farplane, and it's not really explained too well how or why all of Yuna's Aeons have returned and gone insane. I can't remember what the Dream Child said about it, so could anyone explain what was going on with the Fayth and Aeons in FFX-2?

I've also heard many people say how FFVII Spoilersthey want Aeris revived since Tidus was also revived at the end of FFX-2. However, many people have also said that since Tidus was a dream of the Fayth, he wasn't real, so he never really died, and the Fayth just recreated him. However, what about Jecht and Tidus' mother? They were dream characters as well. Jecht became real by touching Sin, and later he became Sin himself. However, he gets killed in the end. We see him going to the Farplane and then doing the good old hand-clap with Tidus during the ending. Then we hear Jecht again during the final battle of Final Fantasy X-2, when Jecht, Auron and Braska are encouraging Yuna and others to keep fighting and not give up.

How can the faded dreams go to the Farplane? It could be explained that Tidus and Jecht had become somewhat real since they were touched by Sin, so that's why they went there. However, Tidus' mother was always a dream, and when Tidus thought about her in the Farplane in Guadosalam, she appeared to Tidus. A dead dream character can exist in the Farplane?

Finally, don't you guys think this was a great, deep and a subtle line to end Final Fantasy X with: "The people and the friends that we have lost... or the dreams that have faded... Never forget them."

If you believe what Rikku says about what pyrflies do, then this would explain things. I think what she says about the pyrflies and the Farplane are accurate.
