I get the feeling most people didn't want to dwell too much on how black mages reproduce (or even if they have genders) XD

Isn't is because he's the prototype, or something?

There are hypothesese that Vivi learnt how to form black mages from the pockets of mist that remained, even after the Iifa tree was destroyed. But nothing is confirmed.

And I think it is extremely significant that we only see Vivi's kids. We dont see Vivi himself - he's the only main party member who is missing at the end of the game.

That's possible?

I knew they were made of mist but I thought there was some complexity in making them. How would Vivi know?

^Lol, I have no idea. And they dont give us any hint in the game, so at the end of the day its pure speculation. But by the end of the game, Vivi's magic was very powerful.

Oh, and what about those machines in Dali? Maybe he hijacked them or something.

Vivi is a she? :O Could be! You don't know

Well, it was stated that the prototype was supposed to last longer than the regular grunts.

That's the other thing - nobody knows where the hell his kids come from or how they came about. It might be another thing having to do with "the prototype". One of my theories would be that Vivi is actually a "black mage" from The Crystal's memory (just like the Elemental Fiends) and he's called the prototype because the black mage robots were based off of him. He can have kids/whatever. That would also explain why he likes windmills, they remind him of airships of past games. I don't know.

I forgot all about those >_< Silly me.
But wasn't there some stupid kid blocking the way. Because God forbid game characters push NPCs out of the way.
