History WMG / FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles

In every game of the series, Yukes, even in the armor they wear constantly, are The GlassCannon and/or The SquishyWizard. If they are fragile in armor, imagine how much more they would be without it. They wouldn't have survived long enough to become a major race if they die so fast, hence why thier superior minds decided that they should have armor.

* The Final Fantasy wiki doesn't include ''Crystal Bearers'' as one of the games to feature Miasma, and many of these points exist in both series. It could be just as easily argued that ''Final Fantasy XV'' takes place in the Dark World of the original, being more based on technology and the presence of Miasma being caused by "Starscourge", which seems to parallel the Meteor Parasite.

* It's possible that Yukes start out as physical beings early in the timeline (with ''Ring of Fates'' describing them as birdlike and the main characters having seen one's face), but then undergo a magical transhumanist metamorphosis. ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered'' even includes a new form for female Yukes that ''confirms'' that they're empty suits of armor, since her midsection is just a cage and you can see inside the upper part of her leggings and underside of her breastplate.

It's hinted at in the games that Yukes have no biological bodies and are literally souls sealed in suits of armour, much like Alphonse from FullMetalAlchemist. WordOfGod states the other three tribes can interbreed, but Yukes cannot interbreed with any of the other tribes. However, there are Yuke children in the game, such as your younger siblings when you choose to play as a Yuke. Because of this, it's likely some sort of elaborate magical ritual is involved in the creation of Yuke children, since after all, they are the most magically advanced race in the games. This would also mean that Yukes' [[PurelyAestheticGender genders are purely aesthetic]].

This came up when I was playing Echoes of Time. In EoT it is at least 1000 years from the original and misama streams all still popping up. In all games it seems that the Crystals are the only thing that prevents miasma and monsters from consuming the world. Thus the natural state of this world is towards perversity. The original FF series always talks about the balance between Light and Dark. (That's the general premise for Dissidia.) So here we have FFCC a world always on the verge of death, it makes a nice pair to FF especially since it share so many concepts, mechanics, and elements with it.

Thus on one hand with have FF, the Light World, naturally safe, with Elemental and Material Crystals. If there is imbalance matter falls to pieces: earth rots, wind and water stop, fire will consume/freeze. On the other hand you have FFCC, the Dark World, requiring protection, with Racial and Living Crystals of the Four (Human) Tribes. If those break then life fails: miasma kills all creatures or transforms them into monsters. Note that Myrrh is born of Hope, an exclusive Human quality.

Those completely armored visitors from the Dark World are starting to make more sense now.

Similar names aside, according to what's under the HumanByAnyOtherName entry on the page, it's certainly possible that he/she/it could've lived this long.
