Thread: Spiral of Death

  1. #1

    Default Spiral of Death

    Even I dont know what Seymour was talking about when he said, "Spira....is a spiral of death". Can someone clear this up for me?

    **Spoiler warning!!**



    The following was taken from OKong's game script FAQ at gamefaqs.com.


    Tidus: Why is it...everything in Spira
    seems to revolve around people dying?

    Auron: Ahh, the spiral of death.

    Tidus: Huh?

    Auron: Summoners challenge the bringer of death, Sin, and die doing so.
    Guardians give their lives to protect their summoner. The fayth are the souls
    of the dead. Even the maesters of Yevon are unsent. Spira is full of death...
    Only Sin is reborn, and then only to bring more death. It is a cycle of death,
    spiraling endlessly.

    I hope this answers your question!

    Spoilers and Conjecture:

    I think it goes deeper then that. If you examing Spira at large it is stagnant. There is nothing new, no progress. People struggle to retain the status quo in the face of death. Spira is a dead world. The never ending cycle of death perpetuates it. The past is the land of the dead, and only dead things reside there. By never progressing forward Spira is essentially a dead world forever trapped in a past it can not escape.

    people also seem to fixate on death, hence the farplane

    Why do you imprison your saviour?

    Another quote from OKong's game script FAQ:


    Fayth: Would you and your father... Would you let us rest? Both you and your
    father have been touched by Sin. Sin, the one around whom all Spira-the
    spiral-revolves.

    I get it now..

    Sin kills people,
    Guardians die protecting summoners,
    summoners die fighting sin,
    Sin comes back to do that all over again.

    Thx for the info. I get in now.

    I'm pretty sure, actually, that it is it. Square likes them some symbolism.

    you have a big killing machine. someone dies to kill it. It is reborn by the dying. It kills. Someone dies to kill it. It is reborn by the dying. It kills. Someone dies to kill it.

    It's a big loop and eventually everyone's gonna wind up dead. What's this called? A spiral. What do you get when you remove one letter? A neat name for a place.

    Yeah, it's pretty obvious. Although Square's symbolism is always delicious.
