What is a Zone Eater?

[Fudjo]

What is a Zone Eater? I don't mean what the Talismans do. I mean, like, what zone is being eaten and who or what is eating the zone, and why is it being eaten?

Nonononono, I already know what they do. I just want to know the background/origin/inspiration for the name "Zone Eater". :)

Lol, very philosophical question, the answer of which may be quite above my capabilities, and will need someone from NF to rationalize the reasoning behind said name! :)

I've wondered this as well. It's a pretty odd name if you ask me lol

Final Fantasy VI (III in the US) had a monster called a zone eater. I don’t know if that was NFs influence, but its possible some of the devs are familiar with the old FF titles and got it from there.

Huh. Perhaps a Zone Eater isn't something that eats zones, but rather something that eats and is from a zone?

Well this is a very interesting take on the concept of a zone eater. This should definitely be preserved for all ages and not deleted due to it being spam

[Yup]

The "zone" appears to be spam.. so the Zone Eater eats spam?? Or does it puke up spam after overindulging??

It's also a Yu-Gi-Oh card from the early 2000's with quite possibly the worst effect ever

My interpretation of "Zone Eater", specifically with how it was used to name a creature in Final Fantasy, is that of hyperbole.

Being a giant worm consuming everything in its path, "Zone Eater" could be loosely based on the concept of a black hole - a complete an utter void of insatiable nothingness.
