FFX Ending

[Luara]

Do you realise that you have made like 3 of the same thread?

whats the problem? I think everybody does that..seeing all the threads are iquals and seemed... I just got here and Im just accustomed now... :rolleyes2

[Masamune·1600]

i was also happy to see tidus die, edit:disappear because he never actually existed, i wish yuna and rikku had also died, though

Actually, Tidus did die, and he did actually exist. Dream Zanarkand (an actual physical location in Spira) and its residents (Tidus included, obviously) were bound to Spira by the Summoning. When Yu Yevon was defeated, that Summoning ended, and the force which physically manifested Tidus was removed. Thus, he died, and went to the Farplane for two years.

[Yliette]

I pray that you do not take this too offensively Masamune-1600 but Dream Zanarkand never was a location in the physical map of Spira. You might be referring the Zanarkand Ruins that's existent in the "real" Spira. But then again, Dream Zanarkand is just...what it says! A dream! That's the exact words of Bahamut's Fayth.

"This isn't a dream. That's because you ARE a dream. Your father, your mother, and the entire Zanarkand. They're all just dreams."

Well, they may not be the exact words of the Fayth but still they prove the exact point. He DID exist but only as a dream and not as a real person.

And it wasn't the summoning that linked Dream Zanarkand to Spira but the Fayth themselves. Since before the Eternal Calm, Sin reconquered on a decade basis hence the Fayth had to continue existing to give power to the Summoners. It was only when Sin has expired permanently that the Fayth may finally gain eternal rest and cease dreaming.

Since Zanarkand and its Summoners and Aeons lost the Machina War between Bevelle that took place a thousand years ago, the surviving citizens of Zanarkand transformed themselves into Fayths. And to somehow keep their Zanarkand alive, they gathered their memories and materialized them to create a whole new imaginary Zanarkand thus "Dream Zanarkand" came to be and Tidus and his family we're a fragment of that Dream Zanarkand.

"You know, we're pretty tired of dreaming. Do you mind if we rest?"

Although Tidus knew all along that Sin's permanent disappearance and Yuna's life would cost him his own existence, he still continued and sacrificed himself, not divulging to Yuna anything about his consequence. And now that Sin is gone for good, the Fayth may finally rest knowing that chaos and turmoil has finally been set aside. No longer do they have to dream about Zanarkand.

I'm afraid you have several notions confused. While it's commonly believed that Dream Zanarkand is an alternate dimension/another plane of existence, the fact remains that it is an actual physical location on Spira, merely far removed from physical locations the characters travel to in the game. This has been confirmed by the Final Fantasy X Ultimania Omega guide, which designates it as official SE canon.

In our case, the "Dreaming" and the "Summoning" are essentially synonymous. It would actually be fairly accurate to think of Dream Zanarkand and its citizens as Aeons. The memories of the Fayth were being summoned from within Sin, by Yu Yevon.

Fayth: The remaining summoners and the townspeople that survived the
war... They all became fayth-fayth for the summoning.

Tidus: The summoning... You mean Sin?

Fayth: No. I mean this place. A Zanarkand that never sleeps.

Tidus: What?

Fayth: The dreams of the fayth summoned the memories of the city. They
summoned all the buildings, all the people who lived there.

Tidus: The people... What, they're all dreams? Me, too?

Fayth: Yes, you're a dream of the fayth. You, your father, your mother,
everyone. All dreams. And if the fayth stop dreaming...

Obviously, when considered in correct context, it's clear that the term "dream" can be fairly misleading.

In any case, when the exertion of the Summoning ended, so did the "Dreaming." The force which physically bound Tidus to Spira was removed, and he died as a result.

[Shadowdeathrose]

actually tidus did exits and jecht at 1 point in time becuase the fayth dreamt up a zanarkand exactly the same as the 1 they lost eg ppl buildings (blitzball) and even animals

[Motaro]

Wow, so many interpretations of this ending.

[Anniexo]

the ending mead me cry

[Yliette]

Whoa! At least that clarified a lot of points!

But still he didn't exist in reality's process but a synthetic creation of the Fayth! IOW they DID exist but not as "real" people. They weren't part of Spira's history and they never experienced the Machina War between Bevelle.

And another thing I still haven't figured out, how did Jecht get stranded in Spira ten years ago?

[KH-Cloudy]

the fayth was resting thats why tidus disappearedand in ffx-2 i think the fayth isnt resting anymore so thats why hes back.

[xox LiNdZ]

I thought the ending was really sad. I cried during it, especially when Yuna said 'I love you' , but I do that a lot during games. Anyway, I thought it was the saddest ending out of all the final fantasy's I've played.

[Levitating Nun]

The ending was good. Finallt something that was not a happy ending. FFX-2 screwed that up

[Rubix]

It was sad, but not too sad
