Revelations from JP Fan Fest (January 2024)

[Enkidoh]

Someone suggested the idea the IX was for the 9th shard, that is one of the still existing shards.

Which SE debunked long ago that none of the Shards are other literal FF worlds, but merely reflections of the Source with just places that reference other FF game places but again are not those literal locations.

Midgar existing in a Shard though is a new one - I've never heard anything mentioned about that whatsoever - seems more like someone took Emet's comment about the other Shards' civilizations "surprising you" in EW literally to mean 'Midgar is on a Shard' (personally I think we already got our Midgar equivelant in the form of Garlemald really - I mean, the Sector 6 playground/park is in there for thing), so... citation needed?

Ok, I should have not written 9 in roman number. I was just saying people suggested the people from solution IX were people from the 9th shard (whatever the 9th shard is), not that the 9th shard was FFIX. Heck, nobody in FFIX has thing like that.

Yoshida-san mentioned Midgar being on a Shard a good while ago in an interview. It was even talked about on the forums, too.

By a good while ago you mean 4 years?

I can't find any actual transcriptions of the interview, just of a couple of articles saying that Yoshi P told the website in a private interview that information. Between that, and the possibility of a mistranslation, it's hard to tell if it's genuine.

“It’s not just limited to different shards, but the place all of it came from was outside space, so it will be also very interesting to explore that area, not just the different shards.”

Was also something he supposedly stated in regards to it.

I'm still waiting for a source from the last time you said this.

The forums say a lot of things, you can't take that as evidence!
