Please note: As a rapid communication, this guide may contain minor errors that will be corrected in the final version. (Narration) refers to Tidus' comments on the events in the game.

After a short journey, they arrive at a huge cave entrance. It leads them to Guado Salam…… Right when they arrive, they are greeted by a Guado senior official. (Official) "We have been expecting you, Yuna. Welcome to Guado Salam. Yuna, this way please." The Guado official tries to make physical contact with Yuna but is prevented by Wakka. (Wakka) "Who are you?" (Official) "I'm sorry about that. I'm Tramell Guado. I'm a relative of Seymour Guado, the chief of the Guados. Seymour seems to have something important to say to Yuna……" (Yuna) "To me? What is it about?" Whatever it may be, please go to Seymour's residence. Of course, everyone is welcome." Tramell turns and walks away, and everyone follows. (Rikku) "We're being forced somehow~ (Rikku pauses to tell Tidus something) Ah! I forgot! (Because Rikku became a companion, your weapons and armor can be remodeled.) If you need me, just let me know!"

Tidus explores the town of Guado Salam. Shelinda is waiting patiently in the inn. (Shelinda, rising from a chair) "Ah, thanks for your trouble in serving as a guard. It seems that priest Seymour returned to Guado Salam after a long absence. Even though he is still young, he is a great person. Seymour is even the chief priest of the Makaraniya shrine. To manage both the Guado tribe and Makaraniya…… I'm glad if you can meet with priest Seymour……" Tidus also runs into Meichen the researcher. (Meichen) "I wonder if you wouldn't mind if I tell you about the other world and the visionary light bugs?" (Tidus) "Tell me about the other world." (Meichen, after a quick cough) "The visionary light bugs are born from the other world send-off, and they gather in the other world…… There, the deceased can appear as they were last seen alive. It's a mysterious phenomenon too incredible to describe, and I don't understand the arrangements very well. People of the Al Bhed tribe wouldn't say so. They say that 'the visionary light bugs are just reacting to the thoughts of the living who visited the other world.' However, what appears in the other world are the dead. The living des not appear there. I do not understand this arrangement. Perhaps, thoughts of the dead settle down in the hearts of the living…… Maybe it's those thoughts that show the deceased by borrowing the power of the visionary light bugs…… No, no. I have no evidence to suggest this. Well, that's about it." Tidus also asks Meichen about the visionary light bugs. (Meichen) "Although they're called visionary light bugs, they are not bugs at all. They are the lights that appear when you kill monsters. The visionary light bugs show various mysterious phenomena. Visions of the past, sphere, monsters….. They are all doings of the visionary light bugs. Yes, yes…… It seems that visionary light bugs have everything to do with the summon beasts. They channel the spirits of the summoners to the dreams of the prayer children…… Yes, that's how summon beasts take shape in the real world. That's how the reasoning goes. No, no. I have no evidence to prove that. Well, that's about it."

Tidus finally reaches Seymour's residence and finds Lulu on the winding stairs. She's admiring a series of portraits lining the wall. (Lulu) "These belong to successive generations of Guado chiefs." (Tidus) "Same faces……" (Wakka) "Only priest Seymour's looks somewhat different." (Lulu) "Didn't you know? Priest Seymour is the offspring from the union of priest Jiskal, the last chief, and a human woman." Tidus speaks to Wakka, who is inspecting some portraits. (Wakka) "Please calm down." Tidus checks out what the others are up to. (Rikku, standing around) "Doesn't this place smell good?" (Aaron) "Don't take your eyes off of Yuna." (Yuna, waiting next to an entrance) "I wonder what he wants to talk about?" (Kimari, standing near Yuna) "Kimari isn't comfortable with Seymour." (Yuna, gesturing to Kimari) "Shish!~".

Finally, a door opens, and Tramell steps out. (Tramell) "This way please." Everyone enters. It's a beautiful ballroom with colorful flowery decorations and a table with food in the middle. (Tramell) "I will go get Seymour. Please wait here." Tidus makes the rounds and find out what everyone is thinking. First, Lulu. (Lulu) "There isn't a shrine in Guado Salam, is there? So, usually summoners just pass through here." (Tidus, nervous) "He, he, he……" (Lulu) "What?" (Tidus) "No, I haven't heard anything, so please explain this to me." (Lulu) "Looking for some extra help?" (Tidus, shaking his head and waving hands) "No, no. I think that since I don't understand anything. And I'm wondering if you believe that I came from Zanarkand." (Lulu) "There are many things I don't understand…… Among them, one is your Zanarkand. If you think about it, it's not a talk that we can reach an agreement on. But, be careful. It's better to not talk about it outside of our group." (Tidus) "Okay, I understand."

(Aaron, leaning against the wall next to the entrance) "……Do not neglect Ebon's warning." (Tidus) "Why? Because this is some great Ebon's home?" (Aaron) "Even if you have the power, you don't need to use it. You may be such person." (Tidus) "You don't believe in the Ebon's teachings, do you?" (Aaron) "Humph. Because I too lived in Zanarkand for too long." (Tidus) "Ahhh……"

(Rikku, next the table full of fruits and flowers, holding a red fruit) "This is sweet~" Tidus then finds Wakka siting on a chair, waiting. (Wakka) "I don't think he called us here to have a meal." Kimari, as always, stands next to Yuna to protect her. (Kimari) "Kimari doesn't have anything more to say." Tidus speaks to Yuna. (Yuna) "My heart is pounding with excitement." Right when Tidus looks up at the three glass sphere and a pendulum hanging from the ceiling, Tramell steps back into the room. (Tramell) "Hmmmm…… It's joyous to welcome visitors. After Jiskal passed away, this mansion has been too quiet….. (walking toward Yuna)" (Yuna) "The death of priest Jiskal is a great loss for all of Spira." (Tramell) "Was priest Jiskal so great?" Wakka and Tidus are observing the exchange from a distance. (Wakka, interrupting) "Jiskal spread Ebon's teachings to the Guado tribe. He died in quite a horrible death." (Tramell, turning toward Wakka) "Yes, it's truly regrettable. But, now we have Seymour, our new director. Seymour was born between a Guado and a human. Certainly, he will form bonds between the two races. (Shaking his head) No, it won't be just that. Seymour will become the light that shines on the future of all who lives on Spira."

Seymour finally walks into the room. (Seymour) "That's enough, Tramell. My relaxation at home will be bad if expectations are raised any further. (Seymour offers his greets.) Hello, everyone." (Yuna) "What do you want to talk about……?" (Seymour) "We can take our time and not hurry to that conclusion." (Aaron, interrupts from the background) "Yuna is a busy person. She wants to settle this shortly." (Seymour) "How rude. Maybe because it took me a while to welcome my guests…… Yuna, come here." Yuna cautiously steps toward Seymour.

Seymour casts some kind of magic to allow everyone to see a vision of bright stars, planets, and comets. Seymour stands immediately behind Yuna, who is in complete awe. (Seymour) "This is a precious sphere that reappeared from the thoughts of the dead drift to the other world……" They seem to be flying over Zanarkand. (Tidus) "Zanarkand!" The entire cityscape and inhabitants of Zanarkand appear right before their eyes. It's a bustling city full of activities. (Seymour) "Yes, this is Zanarkand 1000 years ago. Zanarkand, a city of machines at its fullest glory. She lived here." (Yuna) "She?" Suddenly, they are transported to a spacious living quarter, with a bed and canopy. A woman with long grey hair sits quietly on the bed, in anticipations of something. (Yuna) "Yunareska!" (Seymour) "She was the first person in history to defeat Sin and save the world. And you are named after her." (Yuna) "My father gave me that name." (Seymour) "Blaska probably had entrusted a request on you. A request that you, like Yunareska,confront Sin. However, Yunareska did not save the world by herself. To defeat the invincible Sin……takes marriage of two tightly-bound hearts. The bonds of love that will not change forever." A warrior's figure walks toward Yunareska and passes right through Yuna. The warrior and Yunareska embrace. Yuna, slightly embarrassed, glances at Seymour and seems to acknowledge what he is driving at. Seymour moves closer to Yuna and murmurs something to her. Yuna, in shock, covers her mouth. Seymour steps back, giving Yuna a gentle nod. Yuna shakes her head, finding something hard to believe.

After the vision ends, Yuna is clearly distressed by what Seymour said. She walks to a table, grabs a drink, and tries to calm herself. Then she moves to join her guards, who are curious as to what had just taken place. (Rikku) "Wow! Your face is really red!" (Tidus) "Are you okay?" Yuna still finds herself without words and glances at Seymour. (Yuna) "……He asked me to marry him." (Tidus) "Are you kidding?" (Aaron) "I expect you know what Yuna's mission is." Seymour slowly strolls closer to Aaron. (Seymour) "Of course. Yuna's, no, a summoner's mission is to bring peace and stability to Spira. However, defeating Sin is not everything. It's also to bring cheerfulness to the people suffering from Sin, even a little. Furthermore, it's to bring attention to someone who directs the people. So, I have asked Yuna's hand in marriage as a Ebon priest." (Aaron) "Spira isn't a theater. Even if you let the spectators be drunken with a temporary dream, the reality will not change." (Seymour) "Still, one who stands on the stage grabs the attention of the actors. (Seymour steps toward Yuna) You don't have to give me an answer right now. Please consider it carefully." (Aaron) "She'll do that. Let's go." (Seymour) "Yuna, I'll be waiting for your good reply." Yuna remains quiet. Seymour is clearly annoyed by Aaron. (Seymour) "Why do you stay around?" Aaron offers no response. (Seymour) "Sorry about that. We Guados are very sensitive to smells of the other world." Tidus, puzzled, starts to sniff at Aaron. Aaron shoves Tidus away. Everyone leaves the room and then walks out of the mansion.

(Lulu) "Yuna, daughter of the greatsummonerr, and Seymour, the chief of Guado…… Can the marriage between them in the name of Ebon overcome the barrier between the races? Undoubtedly, this will become a cheerful topic of conversation for all of Spira." (Wakka) "But, I feel that it's really a temporary dream." (Tidus) "…..So, can't we just quickly return to our journey? It's a bad joke." (Rikku) "Ah, jealous?" (Tidus) "It's not like that! The first priority is to defeat Sin. Shouldn't everything else be postponed?" (Wakka) "We've gotten involved in something superfluous….." (Yuna) "I wonder…… if it's superfluous." (Tidus) "Are you serious?" (Yuna) "If the people of Spira can have their spirits lifted by my marriage, even by a little…….I think that would be wonderful if it serves such a purpose. Up to now, I have not imagined it this way. So, I want to give a response after careful consideration." (Tidus) "Are you serious?" (Rikku) "I think you will have to end your journey by marrying." (Yuna) "Let's continue our journey. I think Seymour surely understands." (Rikku) "Yes…… I guess so." (Yuna) "I'm a summoner. I've decided to defeat Sin." (Aaron) "You're just like Blaska." (Tidus) "If so, then why do you need to consider anything!"

(Narration) "……I wanted to yell."

(Yuna, getting up) "I will go to the other world. I'll try to consider after meeting my father in the other world." (Lulu) "Good idea. Please consider with a fresh mind."

(Narration) "It was mysterious how no one asked Yuna, 'Do you like Seymour?'"

Everyone arrives at some stairs leading up to a mysterious opening. (Tidus) "A question! What is the other world? If somebody dies, doesn't the summoner perform the other world send-off? So, does the spirits of the dead go to the other world? And so, the place where we're going is that other world? Yuna's dad is there? In other words, do the dead people live there?" As Tidus pictured it, the other world is full of monsters. (Wakka) "Are you thinking that it's something weird?" (Tidus) "He, he, he……" (Wakka) "Well, if you go, you'll see." As everyone proceeds up the steps, Aaron stays behind. Tidus gets curious. (Tidus) "Why aren't you going?" (Aaron) "I don't feel like going to the other world." (Tidus) "You're probably scared." (Aaron) "The other world is a place where one borrows the power of the past to decide on future course……. It doesn't suit my personality. …… Hurry up and go." (Rikku) "Actually, there are no dead people. It's a place where you to meet your memories. The visionary light bugs react to your desire to meet someone. Then, the visionary light bugs transforms into human form, and like so you get a vision." (Tidus) "Oh." (Rikku) "Well, go on." (Tidus, to Rikku) "You're not going?" (Rikku) "My memories stay in my heart." (Tidus) "Huh?" (Rikku) "Memories are sweet and tender, so NO!"

Tidus cautiously enters the other world. He sees others communicating with their loved ones. (Tidus) "What?" The platform on which they stand seemingly resides on the edge of a enormous vortex of clouds. Below, there's a huge waterfall, and all around the visionary light bugs drift freely in all directions.

(Narration) "I came to understand Yuna's feeling in my first visit to the other world. Yuna's parents seem so friendly together. When she saw that, she may have leaned her feelings toward marrying……"

Tidus goes to see what Wakka is doing. Wakka is facing a vision of his little brother, Chap. (Wakka) "Hey, Chap. I expected to come and meet you sooner, but…… Sorry for offending you. For now on, I'll do better. After I retired from blitzball, I devoted myself to being a guard. I met someone who looks vaguely like you….. I thought it would be like traveling with you….. I wondered if you weren't still alive somewhere. But, as expected, you're one of the residents of the other world….. I understand clearly now. Well…… How are you? Ah, I gave your sword to the guy I told you about earlier. Okay?" Tidus looks at his sword that used to belong to Chap.

Tidus chats with Lulu, who is observing Wakka and his vision of Chap from a distance. (Lulu) "He's dead…… I'm alive. I understand clearly now by coming here. I'm not thinking about moving on in my life." Lulu tilts her head down, depressed. (Tidus) "What?" (Lulu) "What is there to move on to……" (Tidus) "Do you have to stick to Chap and the past? It's bad for Chap, but have you kept company with anybody new?" (Lulu) "Indeed, there is someone else." (Tidus) "Are you keeping company with Wakka?" (Lulu) "Why did you bring up Wakka?" (Tidus) "But, aren't you guys good friends?" (Lulu) "We're good friends, but this is something totally different." (Tidus) "I guess so." (Lulu) "Yes, just remember that, youngman. Try not be so insulting and have a better grasp of a woman's feelings." (Tidus) "…… I'll remember." (Lulu) "I too will try to not forget. Goodbye, Chap. You said that I always seemed displeased, but….. I was happy…… very happy."

Tidus come around and pays Yuna a visit as she faces visions of her parents. (Tidus) "Well….. How is it going?" (Yuna) "I decided." (Tidus) "That's great. And, what is it?" (Yuna) "I remembered something 10 years ago when my father defeated Sin. I was in Beberu, and the city was in an uproar. Everyone was laughing, and it seemed very happy. To defeat Sin was the most cheerful topic of conversation, wasn't it? That and this, nothing else seems to be that important." (Tidus, thinking that Yuna has decided against marrying) "Well, let's go back? Let's respond to Seymour?" (Yuna, assuming that Jecto is still alive.) "Before that, don't you want to call…. Jecto? It's okay. I'm sure he won't come."

(Narration) "If I try not to think about him is the same as thinking about him……" (Yuna) "Look, he didn't come!" (Narration) "My dad is Sin. Of course he won't come here……" (Yuna) "I'm sure we'll meet him somewhere." (Narration) "But, if my dad is really Sin……If I apologized to Yuna and….. everyone in Spira……No, why should I apologize in his place….." (Tidus) "You're the lowest, dad." (Yuna) "Hey, why do you hate him so much?" (Tidus) "He got angry at everything. Because of him, my mom and I……" Suddenly, a vision of Tidus' mom appears before him. (Tidus) "Mom….. Ha, ha……you appeared." (Yuna) "She's pretty." (Tidus) "Wait……. My mom wasn't sent to the other world……" (Yuna) "……. Because when she was alive, she accepted death." (Tidus, angry) "That's a terrible thing to say. I was there." (Yuna) "Ah, I'm sorry." (Tidus) "….. That's okay. Ah. I understand something now." (Yuna) "What?" (Tidus) "The reason why I hate my dad."

Flashback: an image of Jecto and Tidus' mom staring out to the city . (Jecto) "Huh? I told you distinctly." (Mom) "Really!?" (Jecto) "Naturally!" (Mom) "Okay." She kisses him on his right cheek. (Young Tidus) "Mom……" (Mom) "In a minute."

(Tidus) "If my dad was around, my mom didn't see me. That's probably why I came to hate my dad. After my dad disappeared……My mom quickly became happier."

Flashback: an image of Tidus as a child, looking at the sea. (Aaron) "How are you feeling?" (Young Tidus) "It doesn't have anything to do with you!" (Aaron) "His death troubles even me." (Young Tidus) "My mom says that he's not dead!" (Aaron) "……. That's bad."

(Tidus) "An old woman from the neighborhood said. If one of a pair of birds died, the remaining one will die trying to pursue it. It really became that way……I hated my dad more and more. But, my dad, really……"

Back to the first flashback with Jecto and Tidus' mom staring out to the city. (Young Tidus) "Mom……" (Mom) "In a minute." (Jecto) "Go to him, or he's going to cry again."

(Tidus, standing next to Yuna with his head down) "Somehow, I….." (Yuna) "Huh?" (Tidus) "I was bad and unreasonable." (Yuna) "That's not true." (Tidus) "I'm really bad!" Wakka, Lulu, and Kimari are standing behind Tidus and Yuna. (Wakka, to Yuna) "How is it going? Do you want to think some more?" (Yuna) "No. I'm ready." (Lulu, to Tidus) "What's with you?" Tidus scratches the back of his head in embarrassment.

Tidus, Yuna, Wakka, Lulu, and Kimari descend downt he stairs. (Yuna) "Thanks for waiting. We'll go to respond to priest Seymour." Suddenly, a shocking event occurs. A vision begins to creep beyond the boundary between the other world and reality. One can make out that he's a Guado. (Yuna) "Jiskal!?" Everyone is surprised and keeps back. It looks like Jiskal is trying to hand something to Yuna. (Aaron) "It looks like he's lost." (Yuna) "Why?" (Aaron) "Yuna, send him back." Yuna walks up toward Jiskal. Small particles of light, like those of the visionary light bugs, began to drift from Aaron's body as he collapses. Yuna stands next to Jiskal. (Yuna) "Jiskal." (Lulu) "He is not Jiskal anymore. Plese send him back quickly." Yuna nods and performs some spell. Jiskal evaporates and returns to the other world, but he drops something on the ground. Yuna picks it up.

Aaron appears to be affected by the other world. (Aaron) "Let's talk later. Let's leave here." Everyone leaves.

They stroll back down the path away from the other world room. (Wakka) "What happened just now? Why did Jiskal did what he did?" (Yuna) "Jiskal died without being delivered to the other world ……" (Lulu) "A other world send-off was performed for him. Still…… he stayed in Spira. It seems that is possible, if he is restrained by powerful, very powerful thoughts." (Rikku) "That is highly irregular." (Aaron) "That's what happens when one did not face directly at death."

They return to Seymour's mansion. (Yuna) "I will meet with Seymour." (Aaron) "Yuna! What happened with Jiskal is the Guado's problem. Don't let that bother you." The guards wait outside. (Tidus) "Hey!" (Lulu) "What?" (Tidus) "What do you think about Yuna's marriage?" (Lulu) "If she will continue the journey, either way is fine with me." They're standing on a overpass, facing the mansion's entrance. (Tidus) "That's it. How about whether Yuna likes Seymour or not?" (Lulu) "People marry for various reasons." (Tidus) "What do you mean?" (Lulu) "You don't need those feelings for that marriage. She wants bring happiness to the people of Spira by defeating Sin. She wants to bring happiness to the people of Spira with happy news. To Yuna, they're both the same. What's important is your own resignations. If there's resignation, what should become of feelings if anything?" (Tidus) "I guess so, but I don't understand this well."

Tidus speaks to Lulu again. (Lulu) "Hey…… If Yuna marries, I……" (Tidus) "We're continuing the earlier conversation?" (Lulu) "Yes. If Yuna marries, I want to marry someone I like." (Tidus) "I thought so!" (Lulu) "But, if Yuna start saying that she wants to marry someone she likes, I will oppose." (Tidus, puzzled) "Huh? What you just said is inconsistent." (Lulu) "I know."

Tidus looks around town and runs into Shelinda. (Shelinda) "Ah, are you with a summoner?" (Tidus) "Ah, she went to Seymour's mansion." (Shelinda) "Again, he's not Seymour. He's priest Seymour." (Tidus) "Ah, I'll keep that in mind, yes." (Shelinds) "That's okay. Ah, priest Seymour was dressed a while ago." (Tidus) "Are you serious?" (Shelinda) "It looks like he was heading for the Makaraniya shrine. Priest Seymour is that shrine's director." (Tidus) "Ah, I had better tell the others." So, Tidus tells the others about Seymour.

Inside Seymour's mansion, Yuna stands before Jiskal's portrait, wondering. (Yuna) "Jiskal…… Is there something I can do for you?" (Rikku) "Yuna~ Let's go." Yuna leaves the mansion and rejoins the party.

(Tidus) "Seymour went to the Marakaniya shrine." (Wakka) "It's 'Makaraniya' shrine." (Tidus) "Yes, yes." (Wakka) "…… Even if it's true, even if he is a priest, why would he go without saying anything?" (Rikku) "He didn't think that we would be giving him a response so soon." (Wakka) "I'm sure that's why." (Aaron) "Yuna…… What happened?" (Yuna) "…… No, it's nothing." (Aaron) "Humph…… You're not good at hiding secrets." (Yuna) "There really isn't anything. Well, let's go!"

Next, they arrive at the lightening plains. (Rikku, trembling in fear) "Ah~ah……. Here it comes……" Lightening strikes, and thunder can be heard. Rikku shrieks. (Tidus) "How do we proceed forward from here?" (Lulu) "There are lightning towers here and there. The lightning towers can catch the lightnings." (Wakka) "We can proceed northwards by not getting too close or too far from the lightning towers." (Lulu) "Wide-open areas without anything are dangerous." Lightning and thunder strike again, causing Rikku to scream. (Rikku) "Can we go back to Guado Salam for just a short while?" (Aaron) "Well, it's a short association with you. (or 'It's been nice working with you.')" (Rikku) "Ah…… I got you. Let's go!" They begin to cross the lightning plain.

Of all places to run into Meichen the researcher, we find him standing around a lightning tower. (Meichen) "Hey, you've gone thru a lot of trouble getting here. I wonder if you're interested in having a chat?" (The group) "Please." (Meichen) "Well then, I wonder if I should tell you about this road. A long time ago, here was a dangerous place for a famous journey. 'The lightning plain was impassible. The lightning prevented people's way' …… Up until this song was left behind. Then a man named Biligan appeared who had a good command of machines. He went around the plain and built the lightning towers. Thentravelerss can start to venture forth while avoiding the lightnings. When Biligan was building these lightning towers, he was struck by a lightning and died."

Further down the road, they find Shelinda under another lightning tower. (Shelinda) "You've worked hard to get here!" (Tidus) "You too." (Shelinda) "Oh yeah. I heard that priest Seymour and Yuna are going to get married. That is wonderful news. I want to let everyone know quickly!" (Tidus) "Who did you hear that from?" (Shelinda) "From the Guado tribe. Everyone was very happy." (Tidus) "That is wrong. Yuna is expected to refuse his proposal." (Shelinda) "Huh! Really?!" Between saying 'Yes, there's no wedding' and 'I'm joking.', I chose the latter. (Shelinda) "That's awful! You shouldn't throw cold water on such wonderful news!"

They finally arrive in a fork in the road. A lightning strikes fairly close. (Wakka) "Wow~! That's close! Wow~!!" (Lulu) "Let's go quickly!" (Wakka) "Hey, hey." Rikku is starting to lose her composure. (Wakka) "Huh? What's wrong?" (Rikku) "He, he, he, he……" (Tidus, imitating Rikku) "What's 'He, he, he, he……'? Are you feeling okay?" Another lightning strikes on a tower near Rikku. (Rikku) "Yeaaaaaaaa~~!?" Rikku falls onto the ground, and for a moment she seems dead. Everyone pauses for a second. Then, she craws like an insect and grabs onto Tidus' leg. (Rikku) "No~! No more~! No more lightning~!! (pointing to some structure) Let's rest there! How about it? Well?" (Aaron) "The lightnings here will no stop. It's better for us to get past it quickly." (Rikku) "I know, but~! That's unreasonable~!" (Tidus) "Well, what should we do?" They all go to the structure.

(Rikku, standing at the entrance) "Please~! Let's rest~!" All the members, with the exception of Tidus, are walking away. (Rikku) "Lightning is bad~! Get some rest? Please!" They keep walking. (Rikku) "Even though I said 'no' so firmly……" They continue to walk away. (Rikku) "You're terrible…… just terrible…… No blood and no tears….." Just when they can no longer be seen, they start to run back toward Rikku. (Rikku) "Maybe you 're just having fun with me?" (Aaron) "Okay, we're going to rest here, reluctantly. But you have to be quiet."
