       Final Fantasy X/X-2 Theories

       The world of Spira is not without its mysteries. What was the
       world like before the Machina War? What could possibly be on
       those unexplored islands and landmarks that we never got to go
       to? Was there more to the summoners before they just became
       weapons capable of destroying Sin? Is there a whole other world
       full of secrets on the other side of the barrier between life
       and death?
       Any fan speculations, pertaining to the nature of the actual
       world of Spira or the technical and conceptual world behind the
       scenes can be posted here.
       For example: My theory is that Macalania Woods is based on the
       Norse myth of Yggdrasil.
       Yggdrasil is basically the Genesis of the Norse cosmology; the
       World Tree. Yggdrasil is a holy ash tree in which the gods visit
       daily, and has three worlds (wells) connected to its roots.
       These three worlds have separate guardian creatures protecting
       them: an eagle, four stags, and a wyrm.
       The woods in Macalania is heavily populated by springs. One of
       Yggdrasil's worlds, Hvergelmir, is actually a spring. The two
       most famous trees in Macalania is the one at where Tidus and
       Yuna fall in love (Mysteriously, in X-2, the tree in the middle
       of the spring is the only one in that area that is still alive.)
       and the tree at the spring where spherewater is created and
       collected. It's a bit of a stretch, but these trees could bear
       some referencing to Yggdrasil, since their roots seem to be
       making the majority of their structure, and Yggdrasil's roots
       play a very vital part.
       Macalania Woods is also protected by three musicians: Borra,
       Pukutak, and Doyra. Borra represents a bird-like creature.
       Pukutak represents a sort of deer-like animal. Doyra could
       represent a wyrm because of the horns on his head, but his face
       makes him out to be more of an amphibian, so it might be a
       stretch.
       So: Macalanian Trees = Yggdrasil. Woods = Hvergelmir. Guardians
       of Macalania: Guardian creatures of Yggdrasil's worlds.
       It fits, doesn't it?
