The '''Farplane''' is location in the world of [[Spira]], in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''. An underworld of sorts located miles below the surface, the Farplane is a gathering place for the dead. The spirits of the dead enter the Farplane either after they have been [[Sending|sent]] by one like a [[Summoner (Final Fantasy X)|summoner]] or a sender, or have long accepted their death. Those not sent to the Farplane remain as the [[unsent]] or [[Fiend (Final Fantasy X)|fiends]], both types able to send themselves by fulfilling a purpose they have failed to do in life.

The Farplane can normally be visited by the living through an entrance at [[Guadosalam]], [[Pyrefly|pyreflies]] reacting to the visitors' memories to conjure an image of only a dead person. The exact nature of the Farplane was never completely understood by the inhabitants of Spira, but the [[Guado]] act as the keepers of the Farplane and have the ability to sense the unsent. It is also revealed that the temples also have a route to the Farplane through the chambers of the fayth.

The Farplane can be visited by the living through an entrance at [[Guadosalam]]. The exact nature of the Farplane is not completely understood, but it seems [[Pyrefly|pyreflies]] react to the visitors' memories to conjure images of dead persons. Thus visitors often come to see their loved who have passed on while the [[Guado]] act as the Farplane's keepers and can sense the unsent. The temples of [[Yevon]] also have a route to the Farplane through the [[Chamber of the Fayth|Chambers of the Fayth]].

==Origin==
  
⚫
The concept of the Farplane may draw inspiration from the Japanese mythology of {{j|黄泉|yomi}}, the Japanese word for the underworld in which horrible creatures guard the exits; according to Shinto mythology, this is where the dead go to dwell indefinitely. The realm of the dead seems to have geographical continuity with the world of the living and cannot be thought of as a paradise, nor can it appropriately be described as a hell; rather, all deceased carry on a shadowy existence in perpetuity regardless of their behavior in life.

[[File:Farplane.png|thumb|The Farplane proper in FMV in ''Final Fantasy X''. The floating landmass seen near the middle is the only visible part of the Farplane for the rest of the game.]]
  
⚫
Farplane, in Final Fantasy X, is featured in passing. The only location, called "The Farplane", is a very small lacklustre rocky landmass. A full-motion video, played the first time this location is visited, shows that the landmass is surrounded by a rich vibrant environment but none of it seen in the game.

[[Yuna]], [[Tidus]], [[Kimahri Ronso|Kimahri]], [[Lulu]] and [[Wakka]] enter the Farplane while the party travels through Guadosalam. [[Rikku]], being an [[Al Bhed]], believes the dead in the Farplane are just an illusion created by pyreflies reacting to the visitors' memories (though she cannot explain how living people cannot appear), and waits outside. [[Auron]] refuses to enter, hinting of his status as an unsent.

Two years after Yuna's party felled Sin, [[Shuyin]] digs tunnels into each of the Yevon temples under the [[fayth]] statues. The tunnels connect the Chambers of the Fayth to the Farplane, where Shuyin had taken [[Bevelle]]'s ancient [[Machina (Final Fantasy X)|machina]] weapon, [[Vegnagun]]. Fiends pour into the temples from the Farplane and the [[Aeon (Final Fantasy X)|aeons]], once connected to the fayth statues, are caught up in the wake of Shuyin's hatred.

Two years after Yuna's party felled [[Sin]], [[Shuyin]] begins his quest to destroy all of Spira and digs tunnels into each of the [[Yevon]] temples under the [[fayth]] statue that lead into the Farplane, where Shuyin had taken [[Bevelle]]'s ancient [[Machina (Final Fantasy X)|machina]] weapon, [[Vegnagun]].

After Yuna, Rikku, and [[Paine]] defeat the possessed [[Ixion (Final Fantasy X-2)|Ixion]] in [[Djose Temple]], Yuna falls down the hole that formerly held its faith statue and emerges in the Farplane, where she meets Shuyin. Since she's dressed in her [[Songstress]] dressphere, Shuyin mistakes Yuna for [[Lenne]] and Yuna feels Lenne's love for him. Using [[Baralai]]'s body as a host, Shuyin escapes deep into the Farplane followed by [[Nooj]] and [[Gippal]], after they give Yuna two [[Crimson Sphere]]s for Paine. Left alone, Yuna wanders around and comes close to giving up until she hears Tidus's whistle. His spirit appears and leads her out of the Farplane back to the [[Bevelle Underground]].

⚫
The final battle against Vegnagun and Shuyin takes place deep in the Farplane after Yuna, Rikku and Paine jump into the tunnels to follow Nooj, Baralai, and Gippal, joined by the [[Leblanc Syndicate]]. After the party returns from the Farplane for the first time, [[Shinra (Final Fantasy X-2)|Shinra]] hypothesizes there is a boundless energy that could be harnessed to build cities full of light, like the [[Zanarkand]] of the past, and Yuna laments on how this would never be accomplished within her lifetime. Reaching the heart of the Farplane, the [[sphere hunter]]s destroy Vegnagun before Lenne and Shuyin's spirits are reunited and they fade away together.

The final battle against Vegnagun and Shuyin takes place deep in the Farplane after Yuna, Rikku and Paine jump into the tunnels to follow Nooj, Baralai, and Gippal, joined by the [[Leblanc Syndicate]]. The closer one gets to Vegnagun, the Farplane takes on a less organic and more constructed appearance. After the party returns from the Farplane for the first time, [[Shinra (Final Fantasy X-2)|Shinra]] hypothesizes there is a boundless energy that could be harnessed to build cities full of light, like the [[Zanarkand]] of the past, and Yuna laments on how this would never be accomplished within her lifetime.

The Farplane. The place that unites the living with their memory of the dead.

Yuna

The Farplane is a location in the world of Spira in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. An underworld, it is a gathering place for the dead. Spirits enter the Farplane either after they have been sent by one like a summoner or a sender, or after they have accepted their death. Those not sent to the Farplane may remain on the mortal plane as the unsent or fiends, both types able to send themselves by fulfilling a purpose failed to do in life.

The Farplane can be visited by the living through an entrance at Guadosalam. The exact nature of the Farplane is not completely understood, but it seems pyreflies react to the visitors' memories to conjure images of dead persons. Thus visitors often come to see their loved who have passed on while the Guado act as the Farplane's keepers and can sense the unsent. The temples of Yevon also have a route to the Farplane through the Chambers of the Fayth.

Story

Final Fantasy X

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)
Farplane

The Farplane proper in a FMV. The floating landmass seen near the middle is the only visible part of the Farplane.

Yuna, Tidus, Kimahri, Lulu and Wakka enter the Farplane while the party passes through Guadosalam. Rikku, being an Al Bhed, believes the dead in the Farplane are just an illusion created by pyreflies reacting to the visitors' memories (though she cannot explain how living people cannot appear), and waits outside. Auron refuses to enter, hinting of his status as an unsent.

While in the Farplane, Yuna and Wakka see their loved ones. When Tidus listens to Wakka speak with the image of Chappu, the Brotherhood sword is enhanced. Lulu also overhears Wakka talking to Chappu's image. Tidus gets confirmation that his father, Jecht, is indeed alive as he fails to appear while seeing his mother.

When the group exits they are followed by the spirit of Maester Jyscal Guado that creates a great stir, since only spirits who died unclean deaths can leave the Farplane. Though he suffers as a result of his close proximity to her, Auron has Yuna send Jyscal back to the Farplane.

If the party revisits the Farplane in Guadosalam after Tidus mentions Seymour's departure for Macalania Temple, they can find Wantz and Lulu. Wantz converses with an image of his sister and shows her a sphere of Yuna, saying that they look alike. He promises that Yuna will beat Sin for her. Lulu attempts to speak with a particular woman who appears on the Farplane to her, but she doesn't respond.

If the party returns to Guadosalam after the events in the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, Lulu will mourn Lady Ginnem, who remained unsent until the party defeated her.

After gaining the airship, Tromell mourns for both Maesters Jyscal and Seymour within the Farplane, but only Maester Jyscal appears, as Seymour remains an unsent until Yuna sends him inside Sin.

Final Fantasy X-2

Farplane flowerfield

Farplane.

Two years after Yuna's party felled Sin, Shuyin digs tunnels into each of the Yevon temples under the fayth statues. The tunnels connect the Chambers of the Fayth to the Farplane, where Shuyin had taken Bevelle's ancient machina weapon, Vegnagun. Fiends pour into the temples from the Farplane and the aeons, once connected to the fayth statues, are caught up in the wake of Shuyin's hatred.

After Yuna, Rikku, and Paine defeat the possessed Ixion in Djose Temple, Yuna falls down the hole that formerly held a fayth, and emerges in the Farplane where she meets Shuyin. Since she's dressed in her Songstress dressphere, Shuyin mistakes her for Lenne, and Yuna feels Lenne's love for him. Using Baralai's body as a host, Shuyin escapes deep into the Farplane followed by Baralai's accomplices, Nooj and Gippal, who seek to save their friend. They give Yuna two Crimson Spheres for Paine before departing. Left alone, Yuna wanders and comes close to giving up until she hears Tidus's whistle. His spirit appears and leads her out of the Farplane back to the Bevelle Underground.

The final battle against Vegnagun and Shuyin takes place deep in the Farplane after Yuna, Rikku and Paine jump into the tunnels to follow Nooj, Baralai, and Gippal, joined by the Leblanc Syndicate. The closer one gets to Vegnagun, the Farplane takes on a less organic and more constructed appearance. After the party returns from the Farplane for the first time, Shinra hypothesizes there is a boundless energy that could be harnessed to build cities full of light, like the Zanarkand of the past, and Yuna laments on how this would never be accomplished within her lifetime. Reaching the heart of the Farplane, the sphere hunters destroy Vegnagun before Lenne and Shuyin's spirits are reunited and fade away together.

Spoilers end here.

Behind the scenes

FFX-2 Farplane

Artwork of the Farplane for Final Fantasy X-2.

The concept of the Farplane may draw inspiration from the Japanese mythology of (黄泉, yomi?), the Japanese word for the underworld in which horrible creatures guard the exits; according to Shinto mythology, this is where the dead go to dwell indefinitely. The realm of the dead seems to have geographical continuity with the world of the living and cannot be thought of as a paradise, nor can it appropriately be described as a hell; rather, all deceased carry on a shadowy existence in perpetuity regardless of their behavior in life.

As Kazushige Nojima mentioned in official Ultimania guide,[1]}} Shinra's theory that they can harness the Farplane's energy is similar to the actions of Shinra Electric Power Company to siphon the lifestream in the Final Fantasy VII series. Director of Final Fantasy VII, Yoshinori Kitase, has commented on this, saying Shinra in Final Fantasy X-2 was created by Kazushige Nojima who thought it might be good if people would imagine that Shinra would grow up and start the Shinra company.[2] In an interview with EDAMAME Arcade Channel, Kitase confirmed that the world of Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X are connected.[3]
