Final Fantasy X reimagined

The party arrives in Kilika to see it has been destroyed by sin, Yuna must guide the souls of the fallen to the farplane where they can rest easy. This piece covers the beginning of the Kilika cutscene where all is calm and you can see happy families playing and laughing before the destruction.

Kilika

Besaid Island is where Yuna was sent to live after her father Lord Braska died in the battle vs Sin. She was raised in the temple with the intention of becoming a summoner and succeeds. She is supported by her new family Lulu (my favourite) Wakka (my least favourite) and Khimari (neutral)

Besaid

The party arrive at Luca where the Besaid Aurochs get for their last match with Wakka as team captain before he becomes a full time Guardian. Tidus meets Auron who he knows from his hometown of Zanarkand, leading to bittersweet memories shown in cutscenes.  Disaster strikes as Yuna goes missing, kidnapped by the Al Bhed Psychs. Wakka and the Aurochs secure victory against the Luca Goers, Winning the championship when the stadium is suddenly overcome with fiends. Maester Seymour saves the day by summoning the dark Aeon Anima. The gang continue to the Mi'ihen highroad

Luca

The party reaches the Mi'ihen Highroad after surviving the attack at Luca. The highroad has a very relaxed pace until the very end with the boss battle with the chocobo eater at the end . I wanted to capture that carefree pace the highroad has.

Mi'ihen Highroad

After arriving at Mushroom Rock Road the party meet with Maester Seymour once again. Seymour tells them of a plan to confront Sin nearby. The attack on Sin fails , resulting in heavy casualties. Auron tells Tidus the truth about his father. He is Sin, the news troubles and confuses Tidus as he thinks about his relationship with his father.

Mushroom Rock Road

Djose temple is the next stop on the journey. The sandy mountainous area opens up to reveal Djose temple with floating rocks coursing with lightning. Yuna prays for a new Aeon to help in the fight against Sin. She joins forces with Ixion after completing the trials at the temple. Yuna spends all night treating the survivors from the Sin attack at Mushroom Rock Road.

Djose

The moonflow is another lovely but uneventful area in the game. The notable aspects of the moonflow are 1. we are introduced to some of Khimari Ronso clan, Yenke and Biran and 2. we get Rikku back as a playable character after a boss battle with her. Similarly to Mi'ihen Highroad the moonflow has a very relaxed pace compared to most other areas in the game.

Moonflow

The home of the Guado , which are kind of like the Final Fantasy X version of elves. The guardians of the farplane which is like the Final Fantasy X of heaven. Seymour proposes to Yuna which causes tension. They visit the farplane and see Yuna's parents, Wakka's brother and Tidu's mother and consult them about the next leg of the journey. The team must now cross the Thunder Plains in order to reach the Temple of Macalania to give Seymour Yuna's answer and continue her pilgrimage.

Guadosalam

The Thunder Plains is exactly what it sounds like. A wide stretch of land wracked by constant thunder storms. There are no real main story beats here or big boss fights but plenty of atmosphere.

Thunder Plains

Macalania is one of my favourite areas of the game because the story starts to go mad here. The frozen forest of Macalania is a dangerous area to pass through before reaching the temple and praying for the Aeon, Shiva. Along the way the party is attacked by Rikku's brother. He and the other Al Bhed are trying to put an end to the tradition of the summmoner's pilgrimages to save their lives. After the fight with Brother (his name is literally just  Brother) we head to the temple and confront Seymour about his fathers murder which up until now only Yuna knew about. They try to bring Seymour to justice but he resists and the party is left with no choice but to kill him.  As Yuna's Fiance and one of the government officials that she answers to , Seymours murder causes trouble for the group going forward leading to them all being branded traitors.

Macalania

After escaping the destruction of Home on Bikanel Island the party arrive in Bevelle just in time to crash Yuna and Seymours wedding. Everyone is thrown into an underground waterway called the via purifico as means of execution. With the party all reunited its time to fight seymour once more and continue on to the next destination, the calm lands

Bevelle

The Calms Lands has significance in the world of final fantasy X as the place where summoners would fight Sin, thus bringing a period of peace known as the calm. This is also where Belgemine "lives" in the Remiem Temple. There's not too much story advancement here just a chance to fight and pick up new aeons and weapons, but the set piece and history of the calm lands has always been one of my favourites.

Calm Lands

I like to reimagine the music from my favourite video games/movies or just write about my favourite characters. Inspired by Debussy, Joe Hisaihi, Yoko Shimomura
