I really took a long time to bring this topic back ..... Guess I always said myself later and this is what happens :evil:
Anyway I hope you enjoy this new " Did you know that" cause it has new ideas eztarg gave me. So lets try them :D.
As I said before, Final Fantasy has become after all this 20 years into a wonderfull world for all of us. The franchise is just so big that it has created a well know category of monsters, characters, races, ships, places and names. Most of them came up just from the imagination of some people, while other came from very interesting stories, cultures, legends and factes of life itself.
This topics will help us know a little more about our beloved final fantasy game . Enjoy!
This time we will feature: The Chaos(info extracted form wikipedia, wikia, and other sources).

"Tutelary deity of the sacred crystals fashioned by the gods at the time of the Great Making. Created in opposition to Mitron the Chasiter, scion of light. Upon entering the world of Man, he was enveloped in the turmoil rampant there. Lost, he died and was reborn countless times, a walker of life's wheel, eventually to rage against the gods that had so failed him. By sitting in meditation upon the Unrh Pedestal does he clear heart and mind until all that has order and reason and thought is made as nothing." —Clan Primer Bio
The Final Fantasy Vision
For the most commonly Final Fantasy Chaos the Walker of the Wheel, is an Esper from the world of Ivalice. The Esper of Wind, that represents the Zodiac sign of Taurus, the Bull. Chaos has two large horns on his head, similar to those of a bull. From his power of Wind, his color sign is Gray. He is also referred to as the Vrishabha Ascendant, which is the Sanskrit name of its Zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology.
Chaos takes his name and appearance from the final boss of the original Final Fantasy, Chaos. Their stories are similar too, both being caught in an endless cycle of life and death. As the theory suggests the fours swords surrounding Chaos most likely represent the Four Fiends of the original Final Fantasy, especially since, during his ultimate attack, each sword glows red, yellow, green and blue, representing Kary of Fire, Lich of Earth, Tiamat of Wind and Kraken of Water. Also, when the swords drop , the green (Wind) sword is the last to drop, given that Chaos is wind-elemental here.
Other Theories
While Final Fantasy gave Chaos a god-like relation in FFXII, the concepto for the world is represented by many theories.
First of all.- Chaos was derived from the Ancient Greek Χάος, Chaos which typically refers to unpredictability, and is the antithetical concept of cosmos. The word χάος did not mean "disorder" in ****cal-period ancient Greece. It meant "the primal emptiness, space".
Chaos is derived from the Proto-Indo-Euopean root ghn or ghen meaning "gape, be wide open": compare "chasm" (from Ancient Greek χάσμα, a cleft, slit or gap), and Anglo-Saxongānian ("yawn"), geanian, ginian ("gape wide"); see also Old Norse Ginnungagap. Due to people misunderstanding early Christian uses of the word, the meaning of the word changed to "disorder". (The Ancient Greek for "disorder" isταραχή.). :o
This concept gave birth to many human theories. like:
The Chaos Theory.- For Mathemaics and physics, describes the behavior of certain nonlinear dynamical systems (this concept concept is a mathematical formalization for any fixed "rule" which describes the time dependence of a point's position in its ambient space. For not going more thechically :?) that may exhibit dynamics that are highly sensitive to initial conditions ( (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect) . As a result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential growth of perturbations in the initial conditions, the behavior of chaotic systems appears to be random. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are fully defined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos. (Good reference for scientists
Well another way (EASIER :P) to understand it is that Chaos is the complexity of causality or the relationship between events. This means that any 'seemingly' insignificant event in the universe has the potential to trigger a chain reaction that will change the whole system. A well known saying in connection with this issue is "A butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world can cause a hurricane on the other side of the earth."
