Moonflow (Final Fantasy X)


 * This article is about the location. For the Accessory in Dissidia Final Fantasy, see List of Dissidia Final Fantasy Accessories.

The Moonflow is a large river that dissects Spira's main continent into Southern and Northern halves in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. The primary method of crossing is on shoopuf, an elephant-like creature that can swim across the expansive river. Moonlilies grow on the Moonflow's banks and pyreflies gather on its surface at night, making the water glow and sparkle.

In Final Fantasy X there are many merchants operating from each of the banks, including O'aka XXIII.

Final Fantasy X
Yuna and her guardians travel through the Moonflow on their way to Macalania Temple and cross the river via shoopuf. In the deepest part of the waters, the remains of an ancient machina city can be seen; legend says its people tried to defy the laws of nature by building on bridges crossing the river, but eventually the city grew so large that the bridges could no longer support it and it sank. According to Wakka, this story is a perfect example of the teachings of Yevon; that having too much power and seeking to use it is a dangerous thing.

The party's shoopuf is then ambushed by the Al Bhed. Yuna is kidnapped and placed into their underwater machina, forcing Tidus and Wakka to fight it off. After docking at the opposite bank, Tidus finds Rikku washed ashore of the Moonflow, where it is revealed that she piloted the machina in the first place. Rikku joins the party as Yuna's final guardian, while discreetly alerting the others to keep her heritage a secret from Wakka, who opposes the Al Bhed. Afterward, the party continues on their way to Guadosalam.

Final Fantasy X-2
An eccentric stage producer Tobli is putting up a show on the banks of Moonflow. In Chapter 1, the Gullwings can help fend off Tobli's chocobo carriage from bandits. Tobli gives the girls the Gun Mage dressphere as a reward.

Tobli's show goes under way, but turns out to be a flop. Tobli, now indebted to the Al Bhed, escapes through the Moonflow and the Gullwings must catch him. Later, Tobli is having a new show on the Moonflow, and even the Gullwings can take part in it.

Final Fantasy X -Will-
When Chuami and Kurgum are sent to Besaid by Baralai to meet with Yuna, Kurgum shows Yuna a movie sphere with a recording of two shoopufs at the Moonflow. The shoopuf was the last of its kind after the female was killed by Sin thirty years ago, but it mysteriously reappeared one morning, causing Yuna to believe the shoopuf had been "beckoned".

Kurgum tells Yuna she must accompany him and Chuami back to Bevelle and address the Spiran Council and as they pass over the Moonflow on an airship, they see the shoopufs and a crowd of onlookers, where half of the people are illusions created by the pyreflies. They see a father and daughter with the illusion of the girl's mother who answers her request for them to go home together, which stuns the group, since the illusions normally can't hear or speak. Kurgum insists the illusions should be sent to the Farplane, but Yuna says they don't have the right to interfere with the reunion.
