"Yeah," he starts, mouth already twisted as he starts thinking how to explain while speaking. "It started with Sin appearing. They pushed the idea that Sin was born because people became too reliant on machina, was using it for wars, getting greedy - so it was their punishment. Spira's punishment. People losing their way from how they should really be living - that kind of thing."
That was the basics of it, wasn't it? Always how he heard it. People losing their way. Because of machina.
"I don't really know all the nitty gritty of it, but people believed it. There was a summoner called Yunalesca who was able to defeat Sin, and nobody else had done it with machina, so people believed it because of that, I guess. Everyone stopped using machina, and if you were a Maester or a summoner - 'specially one who defeated Sin - you were respected."
He pauses, taps his forefinger idly.
"The actual leader or figure of this thing though was called 'Yevon' - his teachings. Except Yevon was actually the guy controlling Sin, used to be someone from Zanarkand." He looks at Taiki, shaking his head. "Messed up, huh?"
