Bahamut Zero
Dreamcaster
Once upon a time, a god ruled the world. He was called Buniberzei.
Buniberzei defeated his mother, the goddess Muin, and took control of the world for himself.
Muin disappeared into the unseen world--the invisible world.
Buniberzei was a god with many troubles.
The world, it was certain, was destined to die.
He believed this was a curse laid on the world by his mother Muin. Buniberzei knew he had to destroy her.
To do this, he must search for the door. The door to the invisible world where his mother waited.
Using his will alone, he created the first fal’Cie.
First, he created fal’Cie Pulse.
The duty he laid on him was to open the world, and search for the door to Muin.
Next, he created fal’Cie Etro.
But it was a mistake. Unknowingly, he created her exactly in the image of Muin.
Buniberzei feared her, and gave Etro no power of her own.
Instead, he created fal’Cie Lindzei.
The duty he laid on him was to protect Buniberzei from all who might seek to destroy him.
Buniberzei gave Lindzei one special duty. To wake him once the time came.
Then he turned to crystal, and fell into an endless sleep.
Pulse wished to expand the world, so he created many fal’Cie and l’Cie.
Lindzai wished to protect the world, so he created many fal’Cie and l’Cie.
But Etro was powerless, and could do nothing of her own.
Lonely, she thought of her mother, who she so resembled.
Etro tore at her body, letting her blood flow to the earth, and disappeared from the visible world.
From that blood, torn from her body, sprung humankind.
Creatures that were born, only to die.
The destruction of the visible world was no curse, only fate.
The world was divided into two halves, the visible and the invisible.
If the balance between these two were destroyed, the world itself would be destroyed.
The goddess Muin could do nothing to stop this fate.
She was being swallowed into the chaos of the invisible world.
Just before her last moment, Etro came to her side.
Muin told Etro that she must protect the balance of the world, before slipping into the chaos forever.
But Etro was foolish, and didn’t know the meaning behind Muin’s words.
Etro was lonely, but she felt affection for those humans who live only to die.
As they died, she smiled, and gave them chaos.
The chaos Etro gave them, the humans named “heart”.
Their hearts would become their power, but the humans did not yet know this.
Soon, they called Pulse the all powerful ruler. Lindzei they named their protector, and Etro... Etro the named ‘death’.
The humans lived on the world, hold chaos inside them.
Because they held chaos so close, the world once again was in balance.
And Buniberzei still sleeps. A crystal.
Until the end of forever...

Gli estremi della mitologia della FNC sono stati scritti da Kazushige Nojima cinque anni fa e man mano adoperati nello scenario writing di FF13, Episode Zero, FF Versus 13, Type-0, e prossimamente avranno grande importanza nella trama di FF13-2.
Dal logo è stato poi recentemente rimosso il riferimento a FF13, poichè FF Agito 13 non esiste più in quanto tale e pertanto la fabula non è più nominalmente vincolata al lucky thirteen.
Trovo che dare un background articolato e comune a più episodi della saga, non lasciando improbabili voli pindarici alla fantasia galoppante del pubblico, sia un modo molto stimolante per fare fronte all'evidente calo creativo che la serie va conoscendo negli ultimi anni, complice la sciattezza del team artistico che dovrebbe starvi dietro.
Nel merito poi, la mitologia di Etro e delle altre divinità mi affascina molto, tanto che personalmente mi fa apprezzare, per lo meno sulla carta, anche opere come Versus che altrimenti non sarebbero che l'ennesima riprova della vergognosa e semplicistica kingdomhaertizzazione dell'impianto ludico della serie.
Opinioni sull'operazione Fabula Nova?
