If you want to take a journey through space and time with Dansg08 in the world of Spira, you've come to the right place. There are obviously spoilers. This video is designed for people who are both curious about the timeline of events and those who want to find out a few new things that they might never have heard before. Please read before getting into it: This video takes an in-depth look at the timeline of Spira in Final Fantasy X (FFX-2 events are not covered apart from a small bit of speculation at one point). It covers pretty much every major event in the run up to the beginning of the game, with analysis and information about how these events occurred and their significance to the story. It is NOT an explanation of the story, although this video may help to clear up some plot points for those of you who are not entirely comfortable with the story, meaning you have questions like "Who is Yu Yevon?", "What is Dream Zanarkand?", "How was Sin born?", "What is the dream of the Fayth?" etc. So I will not be discussing the timeline that takes place DURING the game, only the history of Spira and what happens in the run up to the present day, because much of what we see, hear and experience during our journey is rooted deep in Spiran history. I got the idea for this video from a thread that I found on Gamefaqs. The thread, and pmog's translations can be found here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/2000008-final-fantasy-x-storyline/21477330 I would like to thank her for taking the time to translate the Ultimania Guides, they are a goldmine for an FFX enthusiast like myself and inspired me to make this video, and possibly others that will reveal more of its contents. There is a lot of information in this video and it breaks down roughly like this: - 70% of it is stuff you could figure out from the game, I have taken the time to pick out those important bits of story/dialogue and present it in a chronological way. - 20% is extra information from the Ultimania Guides that pmog was able to translate. This contains stuff that even most experienced FFX players may not know about the timeline. - 10% is speculation and analysis from myself about the events that take place in the timeline. It might be nice to play through the story again armed with this new information (especially those of you that have only completed it once or haven't played it in a very long time), it may add new context to certain scenes :) If you enjoyed this video let me know and I may try to make more of these kinds of videos that also incorporate the knowledge available in the Ultimania guides, since videos that reference them directly are limited. An example would be "Auron's Story". One piece of info I know I forgot to include (I used pmog's timeline as a template and she forgot to mention it too) is that Rikku was born 15 years before the events of the game. Most of you already know this :)
