Datalog
''Centuries in the past on Gran Pulse, a people known as the Farseers built the prosperous city of Paddra. They flourished under the guidance of the seeress, whose predictions of the future guided the growth of their civilization.''

''After the War of Transgression that took place between Cocoon and Pulse, it is thought that the Farseer civilization died out. Another theory suggests that the people of Paddra became a nomadic tribe, and still roam the wilds of Gran Pulse.''

Story
In every generation a girl was born whose name was always "Yeul," and this girl had the "Eyes of Etro," ability bestowed by the goddess Etro on Yeul which allowed her to see into the future. This "Yeul" would see a vision of the future, but could do nothing to change it as it would bring a terrible event upon the humanity, and she only stored her vision in a device known as the 'Oracle Drive.' Yeul was also a very well respected ruler of ancient city of Paddra being protected by a Guardian who could be only one at a time meaning that two or more could co-exist. Becoming a Guardian means a death of the current one from the hands of the winner who would become a Guardian himself.

When Yeul predicted the fall of Paddra 170 years before the War of Transgression, it caused a great disturbance in the city and the city falls due to the civil war that broke out. Shortly before the fall of the city, the Farseers left the city and went into the wild, avoiding the humans.

Etymology
"Farseer" is a word derived from two English words: "far" which describes a long distance, and "seer," a person who looks into the future.
