Even though I do believe what was said in-game to be true, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. How come Lenne and Shuyin were able to have a conversation at the end - and be heard?[/quote]
When in doubt, blame the dresspheres. The point, though, is that Shuyin is merely an incomplete shade. Not a typical autonomic as per the images on the farplane, but an incomplete unsent.
Sort of. He is roused (and later sustained) from the dream of the Fayth by Yuna's desire for him, which is something of the point Bahamut was trying to make.
Well, if you realize the mind is essentially 'running program' and the lifestream as a medium capable of emulating a brain, it's not all that weird.
Spirit powers being genetic in nature strikes me as kind of silly, but oh well. But I'd say yes, the Cetra are just as subject to the cycle as everyone else is.

Furthermore, what about Tidus leading Yuna out of the Farplane, or even existing at all - even if in Dream State? Is Tidus just a manifestation of Yuna's love??

The LS and FP may not be the exact same, but the principle is still there - spirits do tend to live on in some form or another. So far, of what we've seen in both LS and FP moments, the spirits are capable of new thoughts. (Something I did find weird.)

However...would the Cetra ever be reincarnated?
Hm... I don't know. I think Aerith and her personality might be, but not her powers... know what I mean?
