It's FFX!
Once upon a time on a distant world known as Spira, there was a great city known as Zanarkand. Zanarkand was a lively, bustling place with many people, lots of technology, bright lights, and a constant source of activity.
One such activity was blitzball, in which players swam around in a suspended ball of water and tried to kick, catch, and shoot a specially-shaped ball with specific properties into a goal at either end of the field. Zanarkand had their very own popular team known as the Zanarkand Abes, and their star player is one of the charaters in our story.
Now, Zanarkand was a wonderful place, to be sure, but many people believed it was a hotbed for corruption. Zanarkand was mostly powered by devices known as Machina, or machines. People of the religious city Bevelle did not think the use of machina was appropriate, and so Bevelle and Zanarkand warred with each other.
An important figurehead in Bevelle was Yu Yevon. It was on his order that many people of Zanarkand sacrificed their lives to become "fayth." The fayth were the spirits of beings trapped within the mortal realm within some form or another (like statues), and they possessed the ability to manipulate pyreflies, or the lifeforce that emanated from an organism's body upon its death. They did this through "dreaming," as the fayth were trapped in their place, "sleeping."
Yu Yevon combined himself with the lifeforce of the fayth (seen as the pyreflies) and constructed a hard armor around himself. He called this armor Sin.
One day, the Bevelle army went up to the top of Mt. Gagazet, a neighboring mountain home to the Ronso tribe of warriors. They heard a mysterious, sourceless song which later became known as "the hymn of the fayth." The Bevelle army was frightened by the strange song, and tried to run away. (It is only when this song is heard that Sin can think for itself, and is not just motivated by the will of Yu Yevon.) This song later became one heard and sung by all the fayth rebelling against Yevon, as well as many living people against the Yevonite teachings, such as the machina-loving Al Bhed people. Though Bevelle banned the song, they later perpetuated the rumor that the song originated to soothe the souls of the dead, and it became known as a holy song, and part of the Yevonite scripture.
Another person sent to the frontlines of the war was a summoner by the name of Lenne. Lenne was also a popular singer in Zanarkand, but her special summoning abilities made her valuable to the forces fighting the war. Lenne had one guardian, her lover Shuyin. Shuyin wanted to prevent Lenne from dying, so he tried to use the "living machina" Vegnagun to destroy all of Spira. However, Lenne stopped him, but in the process, the Bevelle soldiers caught them and gunned them both down.
While Lenne died as a result, it seems that Shuyin did not die (immediately). The Bevelle soldiers imprisoned him without telling him whether Lenne was alive or dead. His capture was recorded on a sphere, which the main character of our next story ends up viewing many years later...
* An alternate version of this states that Lenne was captured by Bevelle during the war, prompting Shuyin to go to Bevelle and try to find her. He believes he can end the war and save Lenne by activating Vegnagun, a massive living machina that attacks indistriminately and possesses the power of magic. However, he gets captured (this capture is recorded). However, he breaks out again and tries to reactivate Vegnagun, but Lenne appears (!), stops him, and they are both gunned down (and subsequently die).
When Shuyin dies, he does not die easily; he becomes a vengeful ghost of sorts: something like the living dead, known as an Unsent. He is determined to destroy Spira once and for all (for the death of Lenne), and his efforts make him the main antagonist of Final Fantasy X-2. Shuyin's spirit takes up residence in a place infested by pyreflies known as the Den of Woe, under the Mushroom Rock Road. It isn't until a thousand years later when a new battle against Sin prompts a Maester of Yevon, Kinoc, to send the Crimson Squad (Crusaders and warriors against Sin) to the Den of Woe. Three such soldiers include Paine, Baralai, Nooj, and Gippal. The other soldiers were all driven mad by Shuyin's grief, and killed each other. However, Paine, Baralai, Nooj, and Gippal all managed to escape, though Shuyin used Nooj as his "host."
It wasn't until they parted ways that Shuyin made himself known within Nooj, by shooting his three companions in the back. Though none of them died, the incident left them all wounded and upset by Nooj's supposed betrayal. Shuyin continued to inhabit Nooj for two years...
Bevelle's army and the city and people of Zanarkand were destroyed by Sin. The creature also created "parts" of itself which broke off when it willed; these pieces were called "Sinspawn" and acted autonomously of the greater being, and could be destroyed with ease. However, to those that did not know how or were too afraid to fight, both Sin and its spawn spelled the end for their festive, rich lifestyle.
However, Zanarkand was not lost completely; the will of Yu Yevon dictated that the fayth create a dreamworld replica of Zanarkand...
Bevelle then became the largest and most important city in Spira; it became the center of all religious devotion, home to Yevon. Yevon forbade the use of all machina, and left the destroyed city as it was-- in ruins, to stand as a reminder to future peoples what happened when the people of Spira let themselves get too greedy, selfish, and lazy.
Though Sin destroyed Zanarkand and its people, it was not gone. Sin returned again sporadically to disrupt the peace, and the people of Spira resolved to find a way to stop Sin-- without making the same mistakes that the Zanarkand people did. Yevon developed a way of doing this: people could journey from the various temples established throughout Spira. These temples were called "Temples of the Fayth."
When someone went to a temple, they called out the fayth and were able to summon an aeon, a physical being that is a representation of the fayth's abilities and power. Someone who could summon an aeon (a physically and mentally taxing exercise) was known as a summoner. A summoner who made the journey to all the temples and obtained all the aeons was known as a High Summoner.
One such High Summoner was Lady Yunalesca, the first summoner. She and her husband Lord Zaon were the first to attempt to defeat Sin. Yunalesca came up with a technique known as the Final Summoning, in which a summoner's guardian sacrificed his or her life to become a fayth, and in turn, an aeon. This aeon was known as the final Aeon, and with it, Yunalesca defeated Sin. However, her once-guardian and husband Zaon was absorbed by Yu Yevon, and this merging process killed Yunalesca. And so, the cycle began anew; a new Sin was born, and a new summoner had to come along and fill her shoes (Summoners are almost always female, though there have been a few notable exceptions.) Yunalesca continues to exist as a spirit in Zanarkand, the final temple and often the place of the Final Summoning, in order to prepare summoners for their final trial. She believes that the death of the summoner and her guardian, though it creates a new Sin, gives hope to Spira if just for a while. Unless the people of Spira embrace Yu Yevon's teachings and atone for their sins (the sins of the people of Zanarkand), Sin will never truly disappear.
Nearly a thousand years passed. Much of Spira remained tranquil and small, with a great number of scattered villages and small cities appearing around the world. One such town was the island of Besaid. Besaid was home to the High Summoner Braska and his daughter (who is half Al Bhed), Yuna (named for Lady Yunalesca). Braska later died in order to destroy Sin, and the Guardian with whom he shared the greatest connection then became the Final Aeon, and then merged with Yu Yevon to become the next Sin.
Ten years later, Yuna has grown up and is determined to be a summoner like her father. She heard a great many things about her father's two guardians, Auron and Jecht. Jecht was known to be a blitzball player, and he claimed to have come from the destroyed city of Zanarkand. The truth was, he came from the dreamworld Zanarkand that the fayth created, but as the fayth continued to dream of events that already happened (and would happen again), he came into contact with the first Sin, and found himself transported to Spira in a different time. In his "dreamworld Zanarkand," Jecht left behind his own son and wife. Jecht journeyed with Braska and Auron, intitially to find a way home. But when he discovered the truth, he sacrificed himself to become the Final Aeon, and in turn, he became Sin.
Auron, like Jecht, found a way to travel between the "real" Spira and the dreamworld Zanarkand, which continued to rise and fall as the fayth dreamed. At 25-years-old, he was a warrior monk of Bevelle, discharged only when he refused the hand of the priest's daughter. He too, came in contact with the first Sin and was transported to the "real" future Spira, where he journeyed with Braska and Jecht to the destroyed Zanarkand. Unable to accept that his friends had died to destroy Sin, who would only be reborn again, Auron returned to the destroyed Zanarkand to face Yunalesca, who very nearly killed him. Wounded, Auron managed to make it down Mt. Gagazet. His strength left him just outside Bevelle where the Ronso Kimahri found him. Kimhari, knowing Braska's daughter Yuna lived in Bevelle, heeded Auron's words when the guardian told him to take Yuna far away from where Sin caused so much chaos. So Kimahri took Yuna to Besaid, where she continued to grow up under the protection of Wakka, a blitzball player some years older than her and Lulu, a black mage around Wakka's age.
Though Kimahri believed Auron was dead, no one knew the truth, and so he was not sent (an Unsent). Auron continued to wander Spira until he found a way to go to the dreamworld Zanarkand, where he watched over Jecht's son Tidus for ten years. When the fayth finally dreamed Sin back into existence (Jecht-Sin) in that place, Auron acted as the portal between the real Spira and the dreamworld Zanarkand, allowing Tidus to travel between the two worlds.
When Tidus awoke, he found himself in an underwater temple (Baaj). After nearly escaping a fiend (monster), he found himself "saved"/"captured" by Al Bhed. They spoke a different "language" than him (a cipher), except for one-- a girl who called herself Rikku. When Tidus tried to explain that he was from Zanarkand, he seemed to frighten the Al Bhed. Rikku told Tidus that he must have been affected by Sin's toxins. Another encounter with Sin washed Tidus overboard, and then found himself off shore Besaid Island. There, he met Wakka, Lulu, and eventually, Kimahri and Yuna.
He ended up joining Yuna's pilgrimage to the temples, though he did not fully understand what Sin was or why summoners had to do the things they did to destroy it. Later on, he meets up with Auron and Rikku once more, and their party is complete. Tidus becomes a guardian of Yuna, and they continue to journey to all the temples to obtain all the aeons. Tidus and Yuna develop a close relationship despite Tidus' honest belief that he comes from a thriving Zanarkand that could not have been destroyed a millennia ago.
It is Rikku that reveals to Tidus that the summoner dies when Yu Yevon/Sin merges with the Final Aeon. Tidus refuses to accept this, and encourages everyone to find another way. When they reach Zanarkand and face Yunalesca, the first summoner offers to end their suffering through death. However, when the party defeats Yunalesca, they lose the ability to obtain the final Aeon, for it is only Yunalesca who can turn a guardian into the Final Aeon. When they find out the truth about Yu Yevon that has been hidden away for so long, they aim to destroy him and the aeons. Auron gets caught up in the ritual, and is sent as well.
Finally, the fayth, determined to rest at last and see the end of Sin and Yu Yevon's will once and for all, tell Tidus that if he defeats Sin, their dream will end. That means the end of Sin, but also the end of Tidus, as he *is* a dream. But the aeon Bahamut's fayth tells Tidus that since he has been touched by Sin, he is no longer "just" a dream...
Yuna and the party defeat Jecht within Sin, and Yuna sends her aeons off so the fayth that created them can rest at last. To end it, Tidus jumps off the airship they are on, and loses his corporeal form; he does not join his father and the others on the Farplane, but disappears as Sin fades...
Two years later, Yuna receives a sphere recording from Rikku, who got it from Kimahri on Mt. Gagazet. The recording shows Shuyin, whom Yuna mistakes for Tidus, and the recording sends her on a journey as a sphere hunter with Rikku, her Al Bhed sibling Brother, and Paine. With tthe child-genius Shinra and the friendly Al Bhed Buddy, they are collectively called the Gullwings. Yuna obtains a dress sphere that was once used by Lenne, the songstress dressphere, and ends up having many encounters and muddled memories of the Bevelle-Zanarkand war.
Meanwhile, Nooj has become the meyvyn of the Youth League, an anti-Yevon party composed of many young people; Baralai has become the leader of a new faction calling itself New Yevon, and Gippal has instated the Al Bhed Machine Faction, which digs up and restores machina to working order, and teaches the people of Spira how to use machina safely and effectively.
Shuyin's spirit takes over Baralai, and not long after Yuna finds out about Vegnagun, both Baralai and Nooj go missing. As Yuna continues to journey to find out about Vegnagun and the mysterious corrupted aeons appearing around Spira, she thinks of her journey with Tidus and how much she misses him. In the end, she and the other girls destroy Vegnagun and fight Shuyin, who no longer believes Yuna has any resemblance or connection to Lenne (other than through the dress sphere). However, after his defeat, Lenne appears (a spirit recorded within the dress sphere, along with her dying memories and feelings). They fade, and the girls are left to exit the Farplane, where Vegnagun stayed hidden.
The fayth, which still exist (even if they are "resting" from their dream) give Yuna a second chance to have Tidus in her life, and after whistling appropriately (something Tidus taught her to do), she leaves. When she finally returns to Besaid, Tidus is there-- as real as anyone or anything else.
And so, the Final Fantasy X saga comes to an end...
