[[WMG: Tidus is an alternate-universe version of [[FinalFantasyVI Kefka]]]]

**** FridgeBrilliance: Could be that Seymour's Anima was much stronger than Yuna's Anima.... ''relative to their level''. Similar to the bosses in FinalFantasyXIII, Seymour has an extremely low level with absurdly disproportionate stats. He doesn't really seem to get out that much, so it stands to reason that Anima would also be rather low-level. The reason that Yuna's Anima is so much stronger than Seymour's is because Yuna ''[[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething actually does stuff]]'', so her Anima is at a high enough level that the disproportionate stats for Seymour's Anima are pretty much a non-factor. Hypothetically, an Anima summoned by Seymour Omnis would've been about as strong as Yuna's, except that by that point he relies exclusively on going OneWingedAngel.

WordOfGod has already established that the world of FinalFantasyVII is the future of FinalFantasyX. X-2 establishes that the Aeons remain intact in the Farplane, so it isn't far-fetched to assume that their Fayth do as well. Furthermore, it's establish that the Aeons can still leave the Farplane under certain circumstances. What if Shuyin's corruption of the Aeons was actually a corruption of their Fayth? What if, following that corruption, the Fayth of Seymour's mother escaped from the Farplane and degraded into a Fiend? What if that Fiend was banished by a Meteor spell, only to survive it and crash along with the meteor on another planet? Both Jenova and Anima have only their left eyes exposed (and glowing), and it isn't far-fetched to believe that "Jenova" is just as obsessed with her "sons" as they are with her. FreudianExcuse, anyone?

Yes, that includes Seymour. Even with Yunalesca's help, the summoner must put their effort into carving meaning into every detail of the fayth, which says who the fayth is, who the summoner is, and the defining personal connection, feelings, and attributes that guide the design and power of the final aeon. Part the connection between the summoner and the aeon is strengthened by the summoner having to know beyond words who [[spoiler: their guardian]] is, and be able to express it, and not ''just'' the emption behind their connection and the sacrifice. The process is probably guided by the ritual so that the summoner doesn't need to actually have much carving/sculpting skill, in a way similar to how [[StarWarsExpandedUniverse Jedi don't need to know the exact mechanics and formulae of how to find a crystal and make their first lightsaber because the Force guides them]], but even when guided by the mystical intuition provided by the ritual (and probably Yunalesca), the summoner still needs to have the feelings and knowledge to guide the ritual.

Knowing Square, it is no coincidence that the Blitzball team playing against the Zanarkand Apes in the beginning of the game, look suspiciously much like the Al Bhed Phyches, based on their outfits. The people who survived the destruction of Zanarkand simply chose to defy the teachings of Yevon (even more than they already did) and outright started mass-producing machina, but were attacked by Bevelle, and eventually settled in the Bikanel Desert, where they built their Home, and used that as a base of operations.

** This also explains why Yuna didn't drown in the kiss scene. Tidus was passing oxygen to her, mouth-to-mouth, like the mermaids in ''{{Hook}}''.

They hold their breaths for five minutes at a time, two times in a row, while endu strenuous exercise, plus however long they hold their breath in training (wakka even says some blitzball players can sleep underwater, and ''that'' can't be healthy). This is the reason for Yuna's character derailment in X-2: brain damage (your mileage may vary as to whether the results were good or not worth it). The Al Bhed Psyches cheat (mouth breather things), since the technology is only banned by religion and not by the sport's rules, and I'm sure that if we got a more in-depth look at the Luca Goers, they'd be total dunces. Truly, [[EightBitTheater Drownball]] is not that far from Blitzball, if only in the meta-game.

Think of how a Japanese person might retain their ideas of {{Kotobagari]}} or an English person might be careful telling people [[PrecisionFStrike to strike something/someone]] when TrappedInThePast with a group of proto-Germanic speakers. It's plausible that pronouns for the Ronso are ''always'' the RoyalWe, and that to use "me" or "you" would be a sign of [[SmallNameBigEgo arrogance]] or excessive responsibility-attribution/sarcastic honor, respectively. After leaving out such a basic part of the language as pronouns, it seems much more personable and less stilted to use a simplified version of the Human Spiran language than to carefully excise all pronouns, and possibly makes it easier to speak more of the language without becoming physically sore. Some characters don't count under this, because they're young (and wouldn't be expected to have already learned a second language well), disrespectful (like Kimahri's [[SarcasmMode friend]]), or for diplomatic purposes (like the Maester Ronso, who also commonly [[PoorCommunicationKills needs to be more clear when speaking to humans]] than would the typical Ronso).

[[WMG: Bahamut stayed behind to give Tidus his chance at a happy ending.]]
When [[spoiler: all of the other fayth woke up]], one must have stayed behind to give Tidus and Yuna their chance. There's no reason for Tidus to [[spoiler: have spontaneously become real]], and I like to think that Bahamut felt a favor to a couple of friends was worth adding a few small years to the thousand he had already given.

Yes, that includes Seymour. Even with Yunalesca's help, the summoner must put their effort into carving meaning into every detail of the fayth, which says who the fayth is, who the summoner is, and the defining personal connection, feelings, and attributes that guide the design and power of the final aeon. Part the connection between the summoner and the aeon is strengthened by the summoner having to know beyond words who [[spoiler: their gardian]] is, and be able to express it, and not ''just'' the emption behind their connection and the sacrifice. The process is probably guided by the ritual so that the summoner doesn't need to actually have much carving/sculpting skill, in a way similar to how [[StarWarsExpandedUniverse Jedi don't need to know the exact mechanics and formulae of how to find a crystal and make their first lightsaber because the Force guides them]], but even when guided by the mystical intuition provided by the ritual (and probably Yunalesca), the summoner still needs to have the feelings and knowledge to guide the ritual.
