Historical Background

"Ayakashi" is an everyday word used to refer to a number of related otherworldly spirits. Most commonly used to describe ghosts that appeared at sea during a shipwreck, the word now refers to any kind of demon spirit or lost soul.

"Ayakashi" also refers to a type of mask used to represent a deceased, phantom or mysterious character in Noh theatre. Avatars in previous Final Fantasy games bore names like Eidolons or Espers, names associated with ethereal, phantom like beings. Using Ayakashi in the context of the Noh masks is a logical inferrence. It might be proper to say Ayakashi, who can appear as any Avatar, is/are the equivalent of the Dark Aeons from Final Fantasy X International.
