Obviously the Void has gone by many names in OTHER Final Fantasies, but I had not seen the Void referred to as anything but the Dark Realm and the Void in 'A Realm Reborn'. When I inquired of an in-game acquaintance whether this was also canonically the World of Darkness in this setting I was told that it had not been before, but had started being referred to in this way with the latest Crystal Tower. Hence my asking if this was correct information, haha. Thanks for your response.(11-15-2014, 01:28 PM)Pouncival Wrote: Hopefully, there actually is some and I just didn't dig around the right way. I need as much information as possible about the Void and the state of Sharlayan, both general and specific. Also, I'd heard that with the inclusion of the full Crystal Tower the Void/Dark Realm has been retconned to be the World of Darkness and am wondering if this is true. I need this information because of character reasons I don't really want to go into just yet, but please stop by and unload whatever you happen to know on me.
There was no retcon; the Void has always gone by many names: The Void, the Unseen Realm, The Dark Realm, the World of Darkness, etc. I believe you may be getting it confused with another title, Cloud of Darkness, which is an entity within the Void and not a reference to the Void itself.

Judging by what you say, if a person from the physical plane were to enter this other world they would be hunted pretty heavily for their Aether. On that subject, I need to know if there has been any description of actual layouts. Clearly there are creatures both corporeal and spiritual, so I'm wondering what sort of geography such a world would have. Or if, like the Void and other such realms are in other FFs, it is constructed as a twisted reflection or shaped by perceptions. If I have to I'll bend or break the lore a little for my concept, but whatever I can keep in line I intend to.
As far as Sharlayan goes, I feel I guessed correctly that any form of Spellblade, Time Mage, Blue Mage, etc. would be most likely to originate from the Sharlayans. In 1.0 I roleplayed my character as a Spellblade, and am now trying to write out his life. I had to decide where he learned those abilities (which he has since lost access to), and had settled on Sharlayan as the most likely suspect.
