Zanarkand

I just lost myself in this game.

I completely lost myself in the whole world of Spira and Zanarkand and Tidus and Yuna and everything, and it's just, oh, it's just so good.

And there was, again, I was, I was 15 at the time, so I didn't have a guide for this game.

I didn't have the internet.

So there's Tidus.

He's the blonde fella with the sword that you'll see on the cover of the box.

He's like, he's a superstar blitzball player, which is, like, the big sport in Zanarkand.

There's Yuna, who's the, like, white mage.

This is at the very beginning.

And it's where Yuna and Tidus are there kind of looking over Zanarkand, right? And there's the campfire and all that.

And she's like, it's become a tourist attraction, right? And people are just making money off of it.

And people are like, oh, this is, come see the place where it happened.

It takes like just one second to sort of explain this.

So Titus, however you want to pronounce it, from Final Fantasy X was not a real person in the world of Spira.

He was essentially the same as an Aeon, like he was a summoned being from the memories referred to as dreams of the faith who were like the souls of people who were from the original Zanarkand that was destroyed that are collectively remembering that city and that time.

And they are in their sort of like shared dream or memory, they are creating a place in the physical world, but that is summoned.

does.

And I think the thing I like about 7... maybe more so than any other Final Fantasy game with the exception of X, because that leitmotif with Zanarkand is absolutely everywhere, is you just hear all these leitmotifs in VII, just in its first, like when it moves into that string section in Under the Rotting Peach, when you've got the...

It's from the overworld.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is just scattered

Cool.

One of those, uh, imperial bridge cities built during the time of Zanarkand.

Yeah, something like that.

And it's got very, um, she does very, like, nice fantasy architecture.

Yeah.

I understand Zanarkand and like the other, all that's around there.

But like, why is he, why is he there? What was

that again?
