Plot

Template:Spoiler

The game begins with Tidus' hometown, Zanarkand, being attaked by a monster Tidus' mentor Auron says is named Sin. Tidus tries to flee, but Auron allows the two of them to be pulled in by Sin. Tidus wakes up alone and is rescued by members an Al Bhed salvage ship. After Tidus tells Rikku (a girl on the ship) that he saw Sin attack Zanarkand, she reveals that Zanarkand was destroyed by Sin 1000 years ago, and persumes that Tidus memory was affected by Sin's toxin.

Next, Sin attacks the ship and Tidus again wakes up alone in the sea close to Besaid island. After impressing a man named Wakka with his blitzball skills, Wakka agrees to take Tidus to Luca, as he believes that one player at the upcoming tournament being held there will recognise him.

Tidus and Wakka go to Besaid Village and meet Yuna - a summoner. She intends to go on a pilgramage throughout Spira, praying to a "fayth" at every temple, so that she can perform the "Final Summoning" and call the "Final Aeon", as this has been the only successful method of defeating Sin. However, after several years, Sin is reborn. Her father was High Summoner Braska, who defeated Sin ten years previously, and was guarded by Auron, Tidus' mentor, and Jecht, Tidus' father.

They travel via the temple at Kilika to Luca, where the party is forced to rescue Yuna after she is kidnapped by Al Bhed. Before leaving Luca, Tidus meets his mentor Auron, who tells him that Sin is Jecht. Auron, who is famous in Spira for being Braska's guardian, and volunteers to become Yuna's guardian provided Tidus also is appointed guardian. Yuna then had five guardians - Tidus, Wakka, Lulu, Auron and Kimahri, a member of the Ronso tribe.

The party travel towards the Djose temple and witness Operation Mi'ihen - an unsuccessful attempt to defeat Sin by using machines forbidden by the widely adhered teachings of Yevon. Many die but the Yevon priests forgive the warriors for their transgressions. Yuna receives her their aeon at the temple.

The party cross the Moonflow where the Al Bhed try again to kidnap Yuna, but in vain. Rikku joins the party, but doesn't reveal to Wakka that she is Al Bhed, as he is prejudiced against them because they do not follow the teachings of Yevon and use forbidden machines. In the next village, Guadosalam, Seymour, a "maester" of Yevon, proposes to Yuna, and she accepts. The party travel to Macalania Temple where the Al Bhed try and fail to kidnap Yuna the third time and Rikku reveals her Al Bhed lineage. Whilst Yuna is alone with Seymour, the party discover a sphere in Yuna's belongings which reveals that Seymour killed his father. The party try to rescue Yuna and end up killing Seymour. However, he remains alive as his soul has not been "sent" by a summoner. Yuna and her guardians are deemed to be traitors of Yevon and flee. They fall under the lake ice and Sin attacks.
