[Honey, this is all hard to understand and explain to others who aren't deep in the Final Fantasy sauce]
The entire world, long ago, was broken into pieces of ten and four. That includes the souls of all living beings. Through the ages, cataclysmic events would...bring a shard back to its source, along with its portion of souls. This has happened seven times, so the people of the Source - like myself - are only at half of the strength the ancient peoples were. Those who come from the Shards are only one fourteenth of that original whole soul, but no less people, in my opinion.
[A pause.] Well. We may not be as powerful or live nearly as long, but we did do quite a few things the ancients couldn't even wrap their heads around properly fixing, so. I think we're just fine as we are.
