Incidentally, I have some ideas about how the whole Calm / Sin violence can be explained.

It seems Sin needs "fresh" fayths to be able to show up again, as it is always killing people. Why else it would do it ? Yu Yevon is not a murderer - remember Bahamut's fayth: "Yu Yevon is not good or bad" ? So we can assume Yu Yevon / Sin need the killing to keep their power

But if Sin just kill all in Spira it will not have any more "fresh" fayths to form anew. If Yu Yevon wants to be immortal AND invincible in his Sin Armor he can not kill his golden goose, i.e., the people of Spira that "feed" his invincible armor. Like a lion praying on zebras Yu Yevon / Sin would instinctively know it has to refrain from killing any on that herd for a period, after it feeds. The lion goes hunt somewhere else, Sin goes to sleep and Spira has it's Calm...
Hence Sin needs the 10 year Calm as much as Spirans do.

Makes a twisted kind of sense, heh ?
In a way it does, i ent to sure about the feeding habits of sin, but all sin needs the fayth for is for Yu Yevon to possess once they have destroyed sin, and so all Sin needs the calm for is to become strong again and to become big after possessing the fayth.

But they say Yu Yevon is kind of mad (ya think ?) and just lives for the summoning so maybe he didn't care about what the other fayth were doing as long as he had his Sin
True, he lives for the summoning, and Sin lives to protect him. As for the fayth, as long as they keep dreaming, he can keep summoning, so no, it appears as though he cares little about the action of the fayth.

He can be seen reuniting with his father; long after that, he is seen emerging from the sea. This is meant to anticipate the Good and Perfect Endings to X-2
Just out of curiosity, what is Tidus in X-2, i find it hard to believe he's still a dream since the fayth have stopped dreaming, but by that same token, since they're all just pyreflies on the farplane, if tidus was made to be a real person, how could the souls of the fayth do that? (if this is answered in the perfect ending, just say its in the perfect end, cos i havent seen that end yet)
