You know, we never did figure out why Earth is so different. The world of ignorant prophets and all that.
Only... wasn't there a conversation at some point in which it was mentioned that the other worlds have stories of each other, and maybe even stories about worlds that Earth never told. So are they all prophetic to some degree? Is there some kind of connection, like a web, between all of them, which inspires the people?
Ooh, is it because the worlds themselves know each other, and some subconscious sense of that knowing is transmitted to their inhabitants?
Maybe... the world spirits set us up. Maybe Earth knew there would be trouble, and that by inspiring the right people with the right stories, she could provide a lot of help, being such a big world and all.
That thought is almost scary, in a way. It would mean we didn't change fate at all. We were just encouraged to change what we thought was fate.
Or maybe the worlds and the people in them really do dream each other into existence, like Ryuu and I used to talk about. A cycle of dreams becoming reality. A turning wheel, one could say.
Sorry. I know this isn't really the time for it, but I can't stop thinking. You know how I am...
Anyway, almost home now. Thanks to the curses, I'll be able to make it to the wedding after all.

Date: 2009-08-26 04:26 pm (UTC)Perhaps the events in the game really happened in an alternate universe. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to have this thought. I don't remember whether anyone mentioned it if they have though.
I've always sort of thought that some or most of the stories people tell are at least influenced by the events of another reality. Even before all of this 'Kingdom Hearts is real wtf I'm gonna die O_o' stuff.
I would be disturbed if some of my dreams became reality. You'd end up with a world of killer bobble heads, random silvery caves, stair cases that go nowhere, crystal fruit and sharks in the basement. And trees, lots of trees and random roads that pass through giant territory.
I'm going all over the place with this. Rambling and some of it is probably off topic. Oh well.
I'm pretty sure the other Final Fantasy worlds exist somewhere. We just can't get to them for some reason. There's also the chance that even if we found them they'd be sealed off like Alexandria was at first.
Hmmm, the wedding... I've never been to a wedding. Not sure I want to go... I think it would have been funny if they had just gone on with the wedding with everyone cursed. >.> It would certainly have made for interesting wedding photos.

I don't even know how many weddings I've been to. My mother used to be licensed to perform them, and she'd take me along, so mostly they were the weddings of complete strangers.
It's funny, I didn't think much of it back then. I was just a kid, and a very sheltered one at that, but now I think it was a rather unusual experience.
One time, the wedding was held at a big state park, and I went walking the trails with my father and brother. We were almost back, but I saw a fork in the path ahead and wanted to see where it went, so I ran ahead, bolted around the bend, and found myself face to face with a bobcat. It was pretty awesome.
