nope, never played FFX2 so its not part of my headcanon. Convenient how that works
Say what you will about FFX but it has good worldbuilding, engaging story and decent lore...

Boy, that is a very VERY bold statement

>the entire population of Dream Zanarkand are all an Aeon summoned by Yu Yevon because ______
because the alternative was genocide at the hands of their enemies during the machina war. Yu Yevon immortalized his culture and destroyed the rest of the world out of spite at the same time.

Go back to the hellhole sandbox you came from bruddah.

Teenage years is loving X-2 Rikku
Adulthood is understanding that Rikku selfcest is the best option

One thing I never understood - why did Yunalesca want to defeat her father? Assuming she was one of the survivors of the machina war, wouldn't she have wanted Zanarkand to be preserved too?

>Tidus, Dream Zanarkand, Auron, Jecht, and the entire population of Dream Zanarkand are all an Aeon summoned by Yu Yevon because ______?
Auron is not a dream, he's a native Spiran just as much as Braska or Yuna. He lived in the Dream at Jecht's request to raise/protect Tidus. The beginning of the game is Jecht pulling Auron and Tidus out of the dream to bring about the end of the cycle.
Dream Zanarkand was summoned by Yu Yevon and all the summoners of real Zanarkand as a means of preserving their civilization when on the edge of destruction by Bevelle. Sin guards it and destroys technology to ensure the dream continues indefinitely and Zanarkand lives on in a sense.
>Also isn't every living creature on Spira made out of the spirit shit that Tidus disintegrates into,
Yes, Pyreflies. Basically souls, but not dispersed across multiple spirits instead of a single indivisible spirit.
>so how are the dream people physically different than non-dream people?
As far as we know they aren't. Aeons and dream people are every bit as physical as everyone else. The primary difference is that if the summoning stops giving them form they disperse back into pyreflies. Since Tidus is sustained by the same summoning that gives Sin form, if one disappears, the other must as well.

Because the summoner doesn't really have control over what the aeon will look like, and the Dream Zanarkand is made up from thousands of fayth (remember the wall of fayth you come across in Zanarkand?), so it's pretty much constructed from their dreams and memories, Yu Yevon only summons it into reality. Also, there's no telling how much of the Dream Zanarkand each fayth is responsible for constructing, so even if Yu Yevon were no longer a mindless summoning machine, I doubt he would be able to stop summoning from that one fayth responsible for Jecht and Tidus because they might also be dreaming a bunch of other important shit. Basically Jecht really did get washed out to sea and ended up in real Spira, Auron managed to come back by hitching a ride on Jecht/Sin, the final time he comes back for Tidus is when Jecht finally loses control over Sin.
TL;DR - Yu Yevon really doesn't plan or control anything in the game's main story

that is the one thing about ffxv that is inexcusable besides the gameplay, the world building
at least, ffx, ffxii, and ffxiii at got that right
