me too :P
You think this is too deep! Try doing english media or literiture. We had to analise Shrek for coursework and to get my A I have to go on about having a scotish and a black voice was symbolism for outcasts! Somehow I think they just wanted mike myers and eddie murphy because they're good at what they do and funny!
I was very close to including to absolute stupidity of english literature coursework in my previous post
there was a picture here
this is off the topic of anima though.
On symbolism though, I just realised that outside th egarden of pain where you fight Seymour Omnis, the poles are the same shape as Seymours rod when you use him.
The last words of Oscar Wilde, to the wallpaper in his room - "One of us has to go"
interesting, but that should be in a thread that is on that topic, we should really get back to anima now.
We don't have to be restricted to anima. I like all symbolism! hell, tis what i'm going to uni for!
Then why is the thread title, 'Anima' ?It should've just been 'Symbolism in FFX'
Can you change thread titles?

I don't think you can but it all natural evolution of threads! I Don't think as may people would have replied if it was just general symbolism
I see...but still. Back to discussions!
Here she is
There is a really good page about Anima but I lost the linkAt Wikipedia all you are going to find is the reference to Carl Jung's Anima archetype, which I added there. Anima, according to Carl Jung, is the feminine side of a male's unconscious mind. Jung envisions 3 "sides" of the female personality, the matron, the valkyrie and the nurturer, which all can be seen in the Aeon Anima (it's all described on the page that I lost the link)
As for the thread title, I suggest the one we settled at Wikipedia:
The Mythology of Final Fantasy X

Wow, this is the 1st thread i've had thats become a hot topic!
Neway, i've always thought Anima is an aspect of the soul/personality, but it seems that there are lots of different points of view
Someone wrote 300 pges about FFX to for their thesis...

An interesting trivia tidbit about Anima, from someone who reads japanese and has the FFX Ultimania. He says it's on page 81
Seymour's mother had a terminal illness and was dying. Also, she and her son had been banished to Baaj by Jyscal in the first place because of the uproar it caused in the Guado nation that he had taken a regular human for a wife. That was his way of keeping peace.
Because of who her husband was, and the Guado's own records of the past, she knew of the Final Summoning and that Yunalesca could turn her into a fayth. Since she felt that the people (Guado and regular humans both) would never accept her son, and since she was dying anyway, rather than leave him to face the world alone, she decided that the best thing she could do for him was give him the power to beat Sin, even if it would cost him his life. He'd be remembered and revered for doing that, but he didn't want her to do it.
When he saw Yunalesca turn her into a fayth and saw what she became, he fled from Zanarkand in horror (he was only 10 years old at the time), and he didn't return to Zanarkand to claim Anima as his aeon until 3 years before the game started. He then moved her fayth to Baaj and destroyed the entrance to the temple.
Techincally, Seymour had the power to beat Sin at any time, but he wanted to become Sin instead of letting his mother become Sin.
