Movie sphere

In the world of Spira in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2, Movie Spheres are collections of images, sounds and thoughts of people recorded for later viewing. During their pilgrimage, Braska, Jecht and Auron left several spheres scattered across Spira for their loved ones to eventually find.

In the Luca Sphere Theater, movie and music spheres can be purchased and then viewed or listened to. In modern Spira, a Sphere Camera is a common item to use when recording a sphere, however some spheres have a built-in mechanism for filming, notably when Yuna records her final message to her friends at the Mi'ihen Highroad.

During the Eternal Calm, Movie Spheres became an important part of the lives of many Spirans. Sphere Hunting becomes a popular pastime and groups like the Youth League and New Yevon seek spheres documenting Spira's history. Freelance groups such as the Gullwings and the Leblanc Syndicate locate spheres for pleasure or profit.

The following is a list of all the Movie Spheres found in both games and what they contain.
