Zanarkandian

Zanarkandian refers to anything originating from or relating to the fictional city of Zanarkand. In the popular video game Final Fantasy X, Zanarkand is a technologically advanced, dreamlike city that exists in the memories of the summoner Yuna. It is depicted as a bustling metropolis with towering buildings and advanced machinery, a stark contrast to the more traditional settings found elsewhere in the game's world of Spira.

The concept of Zanarkand as a dream or illusion is central to the game's narrative. It is revealed that the Zanarkand seen by the player characters is not a physical place in the present, but rather a manifestation of the collective memories of the people of Spira, conjured by the AEon Anima to fulfill a prophecy. This has led to much philosophical discussion among players about the nature of reality, memory, and existence.

Items, characters, or concepts associated with this dream-like city are often described as Zanarkandian. This can include certain types of machinery, architectural styles, or even the specific cultural practices that are believed to have originated there before its spiritual destruction. The term therefore carries a weight of both technological advancement and ethereal, perhaps even tragic, significance within the context of Final Fantasy X.
