[spoilers] [ffx] Can someone explain to me something about the story?

[Leonardo]

The part where everyone in the group fell into Lake Macalania. I found some strange things. First, it seems to have been a drop of about 30 meters high. How did the group survive such a high drop? Second is that I didn't quite understand the moment when the song of the faith stopped and Sin appeared. Was he below the lake? Next to the lake? sending a metal telepathic wave from the ocean to Tidus?
Plus this is the weirdest part for me, because Tidus disappears from an Iceland into a desert! How exactly did this happen?

It's one of the weirdest scenes to be sure. It seems Lake Macalania is frozen over, but also has empty space underneath. But also water? And while Sin seems to mostly cruise the oceans, it's suddenly at a Lake? And fully submerged, yet there's no water anywhere where you land?

Yeah it makes very little sense, I guess it's just something to not think about too much.

There's an ongoing joke among fans that any holes in the game's plot can be explained by pyrefiles. Can't say they're wrong :)

[Hinnyuu]

I don't even care that they appear to have plummeted 50+ meters with no ill effect - clearly they're superhuman. But the entire layout of that scene makes just so little sense XD

[ShuShay]

Haha, well, I never understood the lake to be completely frozen (though maybe I should have, given the events in X-2?). I always thought just the top was frozen, like most lakes. As for Sin getting in and out of there... maybe it teleports, as Sin does. Or maybe there's a secret channel, who knows. Once magic gets involved, my head starts to hurt, so I don't bother probing further lmao.

[Casurin]

Macalania is certainly a strange place.

For Sin - well, judging from the world-map Macalania is right at the ocean (large Fjord) - maybe the Temple and that part are connected to it?


For them falling so far... i mean the game is veeery inconsistant about how much a human or the main-group can endure. On one hand even early on your characters get impaled by swords and have no problems with enemies that throw them 10m in the air, or shoot canons at them, on the other hand at some point they are stopped by a few guns...

I think this scene happends only pyreflies intoxication.

Damn, now I have a new secret headcanon ending where Tidus wakes up in a den in Zanarkand with a pyrefly bong in his hand and his friends ask him if he felt it.

As far as I recall, they are all in a Sin toxin fever dream.

I will have to redo that particular part, because I seem to remember the scene just ending abruptly, like memories had been cut off. Maybe its just me, but I always interpreted it as sins toxins.
