Yuna in Macalania Forest in Final Fantasy X-2.
"I'll continue. I must. If I give up now... I could do anything I wanted to, and yet... Even if I was with you, I could never forget."
—Yuna vows to continue her pilgrimage, at Macalania Springs

Macalania (マカラーニャ, Makarānya?) is a geographical area of Spira in Final Fantasy X. Macalania is comprised of a vast forest filled with beautiful springs and campsites; a frozen Lake, where one of Rin's Travel Agencies can be found; and a magnificent ice palace: Macalania Temple which sits atop the frozen waters.

The ancestral protectors of Macalania are the three races of Musicians: a tall, blue-colored bird-like race with harps, a short race with saxophone-like instruments, and a rotund race with drums. The Guado are exiled to the woods in Final Fantasy X-2.

The Macalania Woods are a junction point for several other locations. It is connected to the Thunder Plains at the southern end, to Bevelle in the west, and to the Calm Lands in the east.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Final Fantasy XEdit

A beautiful, glittering, maze-like bluish forest, the woods serve as setting for several plot developments to the story. Auron recalls an encounter with the Spherimorph and receives the first Jecht Sphere; the party hides out in the woods after escaping from Bevelle; and the Spring is the setting for Tidus and Yuna's romantic cut scene set to "Suteki da ne".

Final Fantasy X-2Edit

Although there is no requirement to visit Macalania during the direct story of X-2, several optional missions are available to gain items, dresspheres, and even change the fate of the inhabitants of the Woods.

The woods look much the same as they did in Final Fantasy X but are dying due to the fayth at Macalania Temple fading away. The Guado have also sought refuge here after being forced to leave Guadosalam by the vengeful Ronso. Completing several missions involving the Ronso and Guado will result in the Guado returning to Guadosalam joined by the musicians, but regardless of what choices you make, the woods will eventually fade away, although not shown in-game.

Yuna also confronts some emotional issues when she visits the Spring and fondly recalls her time there with Tidus.

Macalania TempleEdit

Final Fantasy XEdit

Tidus: "They say Seymour went to Macarena Temple."
Wakka: "Macalania Temple."
Tidus: "Aye!"

The Temple is located north of the Macalania Woods. Constructed primarily of ice, the temple sits atop the frozen Lake Macalania. The High Priest of Macalania Temple is Maester Seymour Guado and it is here he is fought and killed by High Summoner Yuna and her Guardians. Both the temple's Fayth and its Aeon are female.

Even after the Guado noticed they were not traitors, Tromell stops them.

A glitch in the game is that Tromell stands beside the Farplane entrance/exit says, after the airship is obtained, "There is no point fighting you, as we cannot win", but at the entrance of Macalania, he wants to fight with Dark Shiva.

In the European and International versions of Final Fantasy X, Dark Shiva is summoned by a Guado priest at the entrance to the temple when the party returns with the airship.

After defeating Dark Shiva the party will be allowed back into the Temple and will be able to enter the Chamber of Fayth.

Final Fantasy X-2Edit

Following their banishment from Guadosalam, the diminished effect of the Guado's protection and the disappearance of the fayth caused the lake to melt, and the temple sank to the bottom of Lake Macalania. As such, the road ends at the Travel Agency and the temple is not accessible. Its aeon, Shiva, is fought in the Farplane rather than the temple as a result.

O'aka XXIII bought the travel agency from Rin with money he borrowed from the Al Bhed. After the temple sank he was left with no customers and unable to pay his debt. Al Bhed come looking for him at the travel agency and O'aka escapes to the woods of Macalania. The Gullwings can chase him down and ask him to join them on the Celsius, or they can hand him over to the Al Bhed. If the Gullwings hand him over to the Al Bhed O'aka is seen digging in Bikanel in an effort to pay off his debt to the Al Bhed. If the Gullwings take him aboard Celsius O'aka sets up a shop and uses the money he makes to pay to the Al Bhed. If O'aka manages to pay off his debt before Chapter 3, he returns to the travel agency and reopens his shop, after the Gullwings save it from being taken over by fiends. His brother, Wantz, eventually joins him.

Episode CompleteEdit

If the player took O'aka onboard the Celsius and paid off his debt before the Chapter 3 mission in Lake Macalania, they can gain an optional Episode Complete in Lake Macalania and witness O'aka and Wantz at the travel agency. The Episode Complete is not in replacement of the main one, and does not affect the attainment of Mascot dressphere.

Temple AeonEdit

Temple TrialsEdit

Main article: Cloister of Trials

A series of puzzles involving ice, the Destruction sphere of Macalania is needed to get Anima in Baaj Temple. What makes this temple unique is the fact that the trials are completed when leaving the Chamber of the Fayth after receiving the Aeon.
