Set in the fantasy world of Spira, a setting influenced by the South Pacific, Thailand and Japan,[2] the city of Samarkand in Uzbekistan has been cited as an inspiration for Zanarkand.[3] the game's story revolves around a group of adventurers and their quest to defeat a rampaging monster known as Sin. The player character is Tidus, a star athlete in the fictional sport of blitzball, who finds himself in Spira after Sin destroyed his home city of Zanarkand.
