Moon and another attributes of the real Earth. Why?

I think for example the fact than the Hyur race is looking A LOT like humans should be a more a Earth-like-clone-issue if you want to complain about cloning, than any satellite orbiting a planet, or a planet orbitting a sun like there is many in the galaxy :p

Zodiarc is an opposite god to Hydaelyn. You think, that piece of rock is him?

If the Gerun Oraclesand Louisoix is to be believed, then Hydaelyn banished Zodiark to the Moon when she created the Shard worlds

That statue does look like what we see in the Chrysalis. Though I'm guessing he's inside the moon?

Hm.. in the cutscene after the Antitower, when we fly with Minfilia, she tells about "light and darkness were in balance, but then the DArkness begin to grow stronger and they were divided on 4 and 11 (if I remember right). Also Minfilia (The Word of Hydaely) speaks about "him". I think, that in a "time before time" Hydaely and Zodiarc were that Light and DArkness, but then they were separated. I think, that the 'Moon" cant be the "home" of "Zodiarc". I think he is somewhere in his dimension, waiting for another rejoining

It looks like we've got you thinking, though! The moon may not be as ordinary as you seemed to think it was.

Personally, I'm fond of the theory that Zodiark is imprisoned in the moon. Hyaedalyn is a living god in a living world, and Zodiark is a dead god in a dead world. The symmetry is nice.

It also has parallels in Final Fantasy IV, where the final boss, Zemus, was imprisoned in the moon. And like the moon in this game, on the surface it appeared to be an ordinary moon, with dust and craters and all (and also lots of giant amoeba monsters to fight in random encounters, but hey, it's a JRPG) but turned out to have not only Zemus but an entire civilization of sleeping Lunarians.

FFXIV 6.0: Lunarians new playable race. We get to go to the moon. :'D

There. OP can live on the moon then.

Honestly I think the op just had a long and convoluted way of saying "more fantasy", "more places like Azyz La", "more floating islands", and "more whimsicleness". Complain all you want about this thread, but all of you who commented fed into it. If you don't like it so much, don't contribute. People are failing to realize that we choose to make certain threads controversial, when we could be promoting positivity instead.

Then the OP needs to convey their thoughts better. And you are not the thought police.

It would be 3 or 4 and 10. There were 14 in total. I don't think Zodiark is on a particular one. Its the fact they are divided that is keeping him banished, not that he is trapped on a different one. Otherwise the Ascians job would probably be a lot simpler.

Assuming the Moon was there before the division (which is quite likely) its quite possible it was once a sacred place for him. He might not literally be the moon but it seems likely that the Moon has some significance to Zodiark's people.

3.4 will give you more info on the whole 'divided world' thing.

The thing about Zodiark being a dead god of a dead world got me thinking. Someone else may have brought something like this up before, but I got an idea. Hades was a summons in FFVII. One of my faves too, I might add. How about a dungeon based off of Tartarus? Hades could be a boss you have to beat to get to it. I'm not sure what/who would be inside though. Maybe shades of Zodiark? Like pieces of him that are lingering or something? I dunno, but the idea of a maze-like dungeon with puzzles would be fun. Sorry to go off-topic.

The land is literally called EORZEA. It's supposed to be like Earth.

Yeah! Who needs tides. A few hundred million years from now, they'll have longer days!

Putting aside the fact that Eorzea had two moons for a moment...

Hate to break it to you, but Earth's moon is perfectly visible during the day nearly every single day and its orbit is such that its position in the sky relative to us and the sun varies thus giving us the phases. Eorzea's moon is quite exotic compared to that given that it always follows the same path in the sky in perfect opposition to the sun from our vantage point, is only ever visible at night, and yet still manages to have phases rather than always being in either a state of lunar eclipse or full moon depending on how perfect the opposition to the sun is.
