Ghostly nature of the Lowtown.

[Future Esthar]

During the Diablos hunt there were some kids which we found later to be ghosts.But they looked so real we would never guess.
The same thing could be happening on the Lowtown.
The citizens could be the souls of the Nabradian´s trying to get revenge.
After all they were put under mist making their souls attached to this world.
That would make old Dalan either King Raminas or Rasler´s father.
I think they even know who is the true villain of ffxii and secretly try to stop his plans.They PROBABLY need Rasler to reincarnate.
That way Lowtown could very well be the "Zanarkand" of ffXII.

Lowtown is where the original poorer inhabitants of Rabanastre were forced to move when Archadia invaded. This is explicitly stated in the game. And since several of Lowtown's residents know who your proposed ghosts are, including the main characters, and they talk about growing up with them, around them, and watching them grow up in Rabanastre, it proves that they aren't ghosts.

Let me ask something off topic for a moment Future Esthar. Are you inspiring to be the next Squall of SeeD?

[Crimson]

I have a question, where the hell do keep getting these bogus theories?

[Future Esthar]

These poor people died long ago.Being stuck there they wouldn´t last too long.
And I mean that they are ghosts pretending to be real persons.Which mean they lie.You can´t take their words for granted.There were many poor persons on the city.
And what did Squall of Seed has to do with this?

[Flying Mullet]

You don't know that they died long ago. You can only guess. And you can't prove theories on guesses, only facts.

[Future Esthar]

Don´t you think Old Dalan´s behaviour towards Vaan is kinda odd.And Vaan´s toward Dalan.I understand that they know each other but even so.It´s like if they were planning Vaan´s entire course of actions without players full knowledge of these plans.Their relationship is kinda like a Master Yoda/Luke relationship wich is odd for just the old guy living at the corner.And real persons won´t last on that closed environment too long.Their trade for very low prices.
And it´s not like there were non poor persons on Lowtown to make charity.I hardly believe they would last a month none the less a lifetime.

[Flying Mullet]

Yes, they kept some actions in the dark to the player, but that's because it's a video game and if they revealed everything to the player up front the game loses it's excitement and there will be no surprise in the plot. And Old Dalan is a mentor and father figure to Vaan, thus their relationship and behaviors were not odd, but completely normal to a boy who has no family and an old man who wants to teach youth.

[Depression Moon]

And what did Squall of Seed has to do with this?

Ask mullet.

[Crimson]

As much as I enjoy a good theory debate, I just cant help but laugh at most of yours Esthar, they just seem so random with no Basis, it's as if you literally pulled them out of your ass.

Oh man , Mulder would enjoy this...more conspiracy theories than in X-Files!

I am not talking about the parent relationship but the mystical relationship.

And real persons won´t last on that closed environment too long.Their trade for very low prices.
And it´s not like there were non poor persons on Lowtown to make charity.I hardly believe they would last a month none the less a lifetime.

I think that pretty much proves at least the impossibility of the fact there were poor persons living in the lowtow for that long.
And from there we conclude that they are ghosts.Unless you think they are robots which can be argued.And that is the part that can´t be proved.But considering what happened during the Diabolo´s hunt and the fact that in Square´s games event suggest event my theory is probable.

It doesn't prove anything. The people living in lowtown don't stay down there 24/7. They go outside just like anyone else.

Your theory is too flawed. The people of Lowtown can go up to Rabanastre whenever they want. The section of the game where you need to mess about in Lowtown is the only point where the residents are locked in, other times the gates are not locked.

[Future Esthar]

Anyway,the relationship between Dalan and Vaan is mystical.Dalan acts as a magical master and treats Vaan as a mystical hero.That´s odd for just the mentor of an orphan.That would made sense if Dalan is the soul of Raminas and Vaan that of Rasler.I think Vaan always knew the thruth but he is supposed to hide it from the player.
