    Each calm is ten years I think.

    But I thought the inlands ruins scattered around Spira were broken partly because of the great war and partly because they weren't used anymore due to the teachings, and therefore they were left to the tender mercy of the passing of time...
    Also, the fact that they live on the coasts could be a symbol of defiance against Sin...

    The war was between Zanarkand and Bevelle, so I personally find it unlikely that other places would have been involved, but you never know... I do agree about the other point though, it is possible that they fell apart naturally, and because no ne really cared about the places, Yevon never bothered to restore them...

    It would be impossible for some of the cities to move inland not just because of unsuitable locations but because it would mean a loss of trade to many towns/cities. Kilika was a trading a town and the ocean was their direct means to transport and trade of goods. If they moved further inland this trade route would be blocked or made inconvinent. The same thing could go for many of the other sea side places in Spira (ship seemed to the fastest means of transport).
    Now for some words of wisdom:
    Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.....hmmm wait just a minute.

    Spira's population is very small. So it makes sense tha no one has gone inland but the Guado and even them are around a large body of water. In our own Earth the settling of new continents followed the same patterns: Coasts and rivers first, inland later.

    Except that Sin makes sure there is never a "later" for Spira.

    Woho! Writer inspiration hitting! A sequel could examine the unexplored areas of their continents!

    Hey Tabris ? Maybe I CAN do a sequel tale without putting aliens in Spira!!!

    Yes and their only "engine" was a chocobo propelled boat wheel. So "mass transit" had to be on a boat.

    I have another question, where does sin go when he's not attacking?

    Probably just sits about doing nothing... Like when we catch up to Sin near the end of the game...

    If you look at Spira's Map, there are some vast plains behind Djose and the Moonflow. He could be there or under Macalania Lake..

    Or it could just be frolicking among some ruins in the middle of the ocean, or just in the middle of the ocean...
    Spiras populace seem to prefer to hang around the continent, except for Besaid and Kilika, and the Al Bhed are just odd anyway... so it's likely that Sin could be swimming in some remote patch of water and no one would find it...

    Or he could be just sitting somewhere listening to the song of the Fayth like he did outside.....the temple with Shiva in it (i know the name just have no wish to try spelling it). No one knew Sin was there until he started moving.

    That would only apply to Jechts Sin, we have no idea if the other cores were fond of the Hymn...
