Prologue: Zanarkand Abduction

The world of Spira faces constant destruction from Sin, a colossal menace that appeared a thousand years ago. The teachings of Yevon attribute Sin to humanity's over-reliance on machina. Tidus, a Blitzball star, is mysteriously transported to Spira after Sin destroys his home city of Zanarkand.

• The World of Spira: Spira once enjoyed a golden age due to advanced machina.
• Sin's Appearance: A thousand years before the present day, Sin appeared, causing widespread destruction.
• The Cycle of Destruction: Summoners have repeatedly defeated Sin, but it always returns.
• Teachings of Yevon: The people of Spira follow Yevon's teachings, which state that Sin is a punishment for relying too heavily on machina.
• Tidus's Arrival: Tidus, a Blitzball star, is transported to Spira after Sin destroys his city of Zanarkand a thousand years in the past.
• Tidus's Goal: Believing Sin holds the key to his return home, Tidus joins the summoner Yuna on her pilgrimage to defeat Sin and bring about the Calm.
