Game Modification Station / Re: FF6 Improvement Project
« on: October 07, 2013, 05:39:07 PM »I was just going off of the Japanese and FF6 Advance scripts, but it looks like the Final Fantasy Wiki says the same thing:
The wiki kind of seems at odds with itself in that regard. Here's the description of it in the "War of the Magi" article:
Quote
After the Warring Triad sealed themselves in stone, Espers and humans lived in peace for a time, until war broke out when humans attempted to seize Esper power for themselves. Espers and humans fought among themselves, and humans infused with Esper magic came into existence, called "magi".
The main FF6 article seems to define it pretty broadly in comparison to the actual War of the Magi article, which is more specific.
from what i can tell, there were two wars:
1) between the quarrelling gods/goddesses after being banished to this world. they created Espers (from humans, and from animals according to one source) to serve as soldiers. after growing ashamed of their actions, they gave the Espers back their free will, and sealed themselves in stone.
2) some time later, humans who extracted magic power from Espers -- and would come to be known as "Magi" -- fought the Espers. that's the "War of the Magi" that happened 1000 years before present day. the gods/goddesses were non-participants in this, still being statues.
This is definitely how I understand it to be.
