Ask Questions for the Lore Panel at the Las Vegas Fan Festival!

So I just watched FFXIV: End of an Era it's shown that the Twelve trying to recapture Bahamut in Dalamud. We know that Dalamud was created by the Allagan.

What is the connection between the Twelve and the Allagan Empire?

I have a more hypothetical question, I think, since Primal summoning is fairly recent knowledge to our Eorzean beast tribes. If they had been summoned in the past, would they look exactly the same? We know that Primals are sustained by aether and the prayers of their faithful. Would the ideas of what a Primal looks like from the faithful doing the summoning change the Primal's appearance? Or will they always look the same every time they're summoned into eternity?

We know that Arcanum uses geometries to cast their spells, but we don't have too much information as to how it happens. Do arcanists trace the enchanted shapes to cast spells? Or is the act of casting something more like applying the arcanist's aether to the enchanted ink to create the effect? Or is it something else entirely?

Are we ever going to see a town or village made up primarily of Miqo'te? I would be interested to learn more about that race's history.

Is there any plan to bring back the vast landscapes of the zones from 1.0 or do you plan to keep each area compact as they currently are?

In future updates do you plan to include any "Open World" dungeons?

Is there any plan to move away from the Relic Weapon progression by means of creating a new weapon to build, to elaborate do you have any plans to end the Zodiac Weapon line and introduce a new weapon line?

Will the free companies get a buff that up the movement speed for mounts? Will the ninja get it own augmented crafted chest piece like the other jobs got before? What type of gear will Shiva drop from extreme mode?

Did the calamity cause a famine in the Miquo'te nation resulting in the malnourishment that caused the loss of cheek fat?

I am wondering if Diabolos and Siren are classes as lesser Primals, or if they are nods to FFVII.

I am wondering why Tharmatuge when turning to black mages do not master command of all 8 elements as astral and umbral forces, as i recall most all black mages have acess to elemental forces. This is from a LORE perspective i realize we canonly be limited on skills

Will we ever see a "good" Primal in XIV, as in one we dont fight against? I can't imagine all the Primals in Eorzea would be ones we have to fight.
