This'll be the last part, unfortunately. I don't want to hog all
the space on this thread! XD
This last part will be the summary of the (unfinished) plot that
I have in mind, including major events and all. While doing
that, I might as well explain how the Farplane would look like
if it were seen in a game.
The idea of a design I have for the Farplane is basically to
just make it look very, very colourful and weird. Different
sections of the Farplane will have different appearances and
whatnot. (Like, in FFX when you enter the Farplane, the sky is
yellow with tons of flowers and waterfalls everywhere, and also
has a blue sun for some reason. In X-2 when you actually get to
explore it, it mainly consists of floating islands and purple
flowers, and the sky's very dark and has the Aurora Borealis in
it. Maybe deep within the Farplane, the land breaks up and it
starts getting more dangerous, or maybe it's to do with the
Farplane instability at the time of X-2.) In terms of layout,
the Farplane is divided into 'sectors' which defines the
different levels of altitude, and, like Spira, the land is
divided into two parts: the Djose Continent and the Wilderia
Continent. The closer you get to Djose, the more towns there
are, whereas Wilderia has lots of open space and little to no
towns. In that way, the Farplane is kind of like an inverted
alternate Spira, only obviously with different landmarks and
continent shapes.
So it'd be like:
Troposector (Low): This is where the mainland lies, along with a
few low-hanging floating islands and some small mountains.
Stratosector (Medium): The altitude where most of the floating
islands hang within, as well as some flying carrier vehicles and
birds. The rest of the taller mountains end here, with the
exception of one. This sector is also where Equinox is.
Mesosector (High): Very few floating islands reside here, but
are said to contain ancient treasures within them. This is
largely known as the 'Angel Habitat' where any person who comes
within range is said to have some of their pyreflies condense
into wings, in which they can fly around in part of the
Mesosector with. The tallest mountain in the Farplane, the Aero
Mesa, ends here. People climb up to the top of the Aero Mesa so
that they can sprout wings and experience the Angel Habitat.
Thermosector (Very High): Nothing is said to reside in the area
above the clouds. The air is so thin, it's nearly impossible to
survive. It's rumoured that this sector once acted as a portal
to the Fiend World, but since the connection's been severed,
nobody knows what is up there now.
Now, to conclude the story with a summary:
Tidus crashes onto the mainland, and Shuyin and Cirrus are
nowhere to be found. He's in a field, and his crash landing
attracts quite a few tourists. They make way for two more main
characters: Auron and Braska, whom were on the way to a mountain
town for a meeting. They get away from the other people and get
acquainted again. They ask where Jecht is, Tidus says that it's
a long story, and that they should head to a town before doing
anything. He looks up to where he was falling from, and finds
out that Equinox is being covered by the clouds. It must have
been a long drop.
So they get to the town, Tidus tells them everything, and they
conclude by saying that they need to rescue Jecht. Before they
head out into the public, they say that Tidus needs to change
out of his clothes. (they're ripped and dirty because of what
happened) He then recalls a package that Valefor gave him, and
he opens it, revealing a strange blue shapeshifting cloth. The
note on it says that this was the best material that Shiva could
make, and that he needs to look at least decently royal in
public, seeing as how he defeated Sin and all. Cue Tidus wearing
it like a trenchcoat. Now we have his permanent look, and the
game finally explains the Tier system.
We get introduced to shops and interactions, Tidus gets a proper
sword made out of the metal that he was struck with, yadda
yadda, let's move on. The group finds Cirrus and Shuyin in a
nearby jungle, and at first Shuyin doesn't recognise Tidus. He's
noticeably more shaken and paranoid about his surroundings, and
seems jumpy at every little thing. Some fiend attacks later,
Shuyin joins the party permanently, though it's just to be kept
safe from the fiends. Now it's on to the next town.
Some events later, the town gets invaded by the strange fiends
that attacked Equinox. It's then we're introduced to Liquid
Nightmare fiends, though dubbed 'Mysterious fiends' at this
time. Think of the oversouled fiends that you find during X-2.
Now imagine them stronger, and not possible to be defeated at
this point. So the main objective is to just avoid the fiends
and find a safe spot. Tidus has short flashbacks to when he was
escaping from Dream Zanarkand, and they then bump into a strange
human-like but monstrous looking person, introducing himself as
a Nightmare Core. He then takes off, claiming to have fulfilled
his purpose. It's then they realise that almost all the
townsfolk have been annihilated, and were being carried into a
rift by the other Liquid Nightmare fiends.
Since I don't know what to do after this, I'll skip to the major
story parts. They run into the machine-like monster again, and
funnily enough, Jecht managed to hold onto its grasp all this
time. They rescue him. They all reunite, and Jecht joins the
party. They then remember the party they must go to, so that
happens. At the party, after some cutscenes, Shuyin runs into
Lenne, his old partner and love interest. They also find Aeshma
at the party, and he talks to them in private about Liquid
Nightmare, and how he witnessed its rampage thousands of years
ago. He explains Nightmare Cores, and theorises that they're
raiding hateful towns and capturing dead spirits to turn them
into Liquid Nightmare fiends for their massive army. Shuyin
remembers Equinox, and asks why they would raid his home. Aeshma
doesn't know, since he's just theorising, but then suggests that
they try to go to Equinox and defeat whatever Nightmare Core
resides there. He directs them to go to the top of Aero Mesa and
drop down to Equinox from the Angel Habitat. but not before
enhancing their weapons with 'purity energy' to counteract
Liquid Nightmare and defeat the fiends. Tidus then remembers the
gas that Shuyin had been hit with that time, and reminds him
about it. He replies by saying he never saw that kind of gas
before, but Tidus begins to wonder.
Since Shuyin and Lenne are pyremancers, they manage to, after
convincing Tidus and Jecht to give up some of their plasma, (the
unknown pathogen seems to be a magic amplifier carried over from
the fayth) enhance the party's weapons with purity energy.
Everybody's weapons now gets a special multiplier against Liquid
Nightmare enemies, as well as the ability to actually defeat
them. They get to Equinox, kill the Nightmare Core, another
vague tragic-villain dialogue, Equinox is saved. By this point,
Shuyin becomes braver and more attached with the party, deciding
to stay with them, but keep Cirrus behind to keep her safe.
Lenne stays behind, too, glad to be home after all this time.
Meanwhile throughout the whole journey, Tidus is having weird
dream sequences about a spirit talking to him. Near the end of
the game, we get a clear picture of what he looks like. He also
looks very similar to Tidus, but somewhat closer to Shuyin. When
Tidus gets knocked out at one point by a now-insane Shuyin, he
enters another dream sequence. Yet, it feels real somehow. The
spirit reveals himself as a Miracle, a entirely pure soul free
of Nightmare energy, and was also part of an experiment in
Zanarkand long ago.
About 3000 years ago, when machina had advanced and was
officially given its own term, an elitist group of scientists
lead by the leader of Bevelle at the time was working on the
invincible human being: one that would never turn into a fiend
and could be resurrected from the dead easily. A not-dead Shuyin
at this time was a pyremancer-in-training, and upon stumbling
onto the secret project, volunteered in hopes to learn more
about the arts of pyremancery. They led him to the gigantic
machina contraption, which was designed to break down pyreflies
into particles. The team planned to extract the purity energy,
amplify it with a pathogen found in the aeons, and give the
energy back to Shuyin. But then something went wrong. They
managed to extract the miracle spirit, but the Nightmare in
Shuyin immediately took advantage of the empty space and he went
wild. He trashed the place, killed the scientists, and ran away
to the Calm Lands, where the energy proved too much for him and
he died. Rhiak found his body, and the Liquid Nightmare in
Shuyin naturally made a pact with him. With the Purity and the
Nightmare energy gone, Shuyin's body was now an empty vessel,
with only his memories before the accident to accompany him to
the Farplane.
When the fayth created Dream Zanarkand, the Miracle was drawn to
Tidus since he coincidentally looked just like Shuyin. He rested
within his spirit, only awakening when he sensed Shuyin nearby.
Tidus takes the chance to ask one nagging question: why did he
look just like Shuyin? The Miracle suggests that maybe Tidus,
being a dream based off multiple people in Zanarkand, just
managed to look similar to him. Or maybe the Miracle influenced
his appearance over the years since they had become one person
in some way. He says that there might be a way to save Shuyin
from becoming a Liquid Nightmare fiend, and that is to use the
Miracle's spirit and let it merge with Shuyin's body so that he
can become a balanced spirit once again.
They go to Lenne and upon hearing the predicament, agrees right
away to extract the Miracle. They face off against Vegnagun (the
machina used in the project turned into a life-draining
superweapon that's been affecting the Farplane) and follow it
through the rift into the Farplane Core, turned into a facility
that makes Liquid Nightmare fiends. Auron, Jecht and Braska face
off against Rhiak at the heart (he conjoined with Vegnagun,
making a Nightmare Core/machina hybrid) while Tidus goes to find
Shuyin, but it's too late. He couldn't hold out and became a
Liquid Nightmare. Meanwhile Rhiak reveals his plan.
He hid in the Farplane Core all these years, after using a
newly-built Vegnagun from a thousand years ago to blast a hole
in Bevelle's Underground and escaping to the Core. He then made
his way around, finding malicious souls to build his secret
army. With the help of Sin killing everybody, and everybody's
fear and hatred of it, they built a Liquid Nightmare clan in no
time, and waited until Sin was dead and everybody was distracted
to unleash their chaos. Rhiak wanted to quench his thirst for
bloodshed, as developed from his childhood. He wanted to rip
open the portal to the Fiend World again and merge two realms of
the dead into one, creating more bloodshed between the two
species. He would then make the entire Farplane his army, and
send it to invade Spira, making the greatest war humanity would
ever see. It would be an apocalyptic world full of insanity, and
when another species rebuilt Spira up, he would do it all again.
And again. Until he died.
The Liquid Nightmare in the facility would then merge with
Vegnagun, ejecting all four of the warriors out and flying away
up into the sky. And then something about the aeons/fayth coming
and the Miracle merging with Tidus to make Purity Aeons, then
they set off to fight the god-like machina and Rhiak in an epic
final battle.
The facility is destroyed with a gigantic pure attack, restoring
the Farplane Core to its original beauty as the Liquid Nightmare
fiends are turned back to normal. The aeons celebrate, and the
others find the destroyed Vegnagun along with a shaken, broken
Rhiak turned back to normal. Meanwhile, Tidus lands on the top
chamber of Vegnagun, beaten, ripped and tired from the battle.
His sword is also broken and unusable. He hears Shuyin on the
other side. Miracle comes out, greatly used up from the last
fight, and tells Tidus that Shuyin hasn't turned back to normal;
the Liquid Nightmare became his whole spirit. He needs to merge
with Shuyin. However, Miracle tells Tidus something: if the
Purity energy invades his spirit, it has a great chance of
wiping out Shuyin's acquired memories after he got hit by the
gas, which means he wouldn't remember anything about the
adventure, apart from meeting Tidus. He grimly accepts this,
them having developing a brotherly bond throughout the journey.
Miracle then says that it's been an honour getting to know him
and his life, and disappears for the final time.
He confronts Shuyin, they have a last quick talk, and he turns
into a large Liquid Nightmare fiend. Realising that he doesn't
have a weapon, Tidus has to fight with his fists. Cue epic final
battle that starts you off as weak, yet you get stronger as you
fight more. Tidus then manages to rip open Shuyin's skin, summon
Miracle's spirit and blast it right into his heart. He turns
back to normal, his chest still open, they have a last
nonsensical talk as his memories fade, and they both pass out.
Cue the ending with Shuyin in a hospital bed, him being innocent
and not remembering anything, everybody walks in, Shuyin just
barely remembers Tidus and they reconcile, some other things,
ending speech, yadda yadda, credits. Post-ending scene with a
first-person view emerging from the ocean while looking straight
up into the sky, 'The End' scene.
If this was a game, I'd probably name it after my fanfiction:
"Final Fantasy X: Road of Avidity." As in, the road to getting
the power to beat up Liquid Nightmare. Yeah, it's pretty sucky.
XD
Holy crud, did it really take an hour and a half to write this?

Wow...an hour and half? Jesus what a story! it took me time to
read it, but I appreciate thet you took your time to tell me
your story, and it i like the idea of Shuyin and Tidus having a
brother like bond, i like how u can describe so many details, u
developed it amazingly, and thanks, i enjoyed it too :D
But did you wrote this story in fanfiction?

Nah, this actually isn't a written fanfiction of mine. I just
took the concept of the threat (Liquid Nightmare) that I made
for another existing fanfiction of mine, and wrote it into a...
canon-alternate-universe, I guess. This story inevitably has
flaws (I kinda brainfarted at the explanation for Tidus' and
Shuyin's similar appearances. I'll just stick with the
reincarnation theory in X-2, thank you very much. :S) but to be
honest, it is Final Fantasy X, a game that's lore is so
complicated and weird, that some things even get lost in
translation. Plus, I just don't have time to iron out the flaws
and inconsistencies. This is a rough planning, after all.
If you want to read the fanfiction I made this for, I'll just
post it here:

at me taking advantage of the free advertising here. I'm such a

I'll post my fanart of what an X-3 logo splash would look like
here, just for appropriate placing:
HTML http://imgur.com/rj9uvMn
Also, a friend of mine on DeviantART wanted to see what my
imagining of an X-3 Tidus would look like. (Following Will and
all, not my fanmade 'X-3.') After doing that, I went along to
make Yuna's as well, so you might wanna check them out.
Tidus:

Yuna:
HTML http://imgur.com/zIBhwdq
I tried to keep Tidus' outfit pretty basic, since this is also
supposed to be his current blitzball team's outfit, which
follows along from the theme from the first game. I also tried
to give him a reason for wearing that headband (hiding the scars
because he thinks it'll make him look like a freak/stand out)
apart from the whole 'resembling Jecht' thing. Maybe I should
have made his outfit more 'traditional' looking since this is
supposed to be Bevelle's blitz team, but hey, I'm fine enough
with it.
I tried to mix in Yuna's robes with some tropical things, since
she's a representative on an island and all. I like how it looks
like she's wearing mermaid-like things, but I also don't like
how she kinda looks like some rejected Disney princess design.
:S Can't get everything right, I guess. (I also spelt wielding
wrong. Stupid me. XD)
I might do Kurgum and Chuami some other day. I don't know why,
but from the moment I saw her, I pictured Chuami as a redhead.
Kurgum could be blonde or something.

rejected disney princess, its an outfit that will look amazing
on her, and Tidus looks very handsome XD
