Good hypothesis, if they are hostile in 2.0 I will call your theory completely valid. It's very much possible so as to give us more variety in enemies.

The end of days has the RPG lover in me completely over the moon considering how we get to experience what was before and what will be. It's like 1.0 was a prequel. :D

Actually it's the other way around. When talking about story contradictions Yoshi-P was referring to when the servers would be brought back up after the Nov 11 shutdown. Not the final save.

Basically, what we want to know is, do you want to keep playing the current version even after we bring all the Worlds down?

We can bring the servers back up after a few days, and you’ll be able to keep playing the game just like normal...but your final save data will remain unchanged.

Only the character data saved during the November 1 maintenance will be carried over to A Realm Reborn. The devs will also be focusing on the new version, and there will be no more patches or bug fixes for the current version after this point. But it seems a real shame to take away a venue where players can get together as a community. If we brought the servers back online, you would, however, need to ignore the inevitable story contradictions. Considering these factors, players that have an active subscription as of September 30, 2012, would play for free.

Meaning the current events are canon. SE bringing the servers back up post shutdown is non-canon. Most likely they'll bring the game back to the state it was before the final save so people can play the old content to their hearts content.

All of these are things that have been witnessed before, just on a grander scale now.

Whilst some people believe that these last few days are 'just a bit of fun' or 'silly', I wouldn't be so fast to write them off as a non important part of the lore for the future.

We were given relics that we obviously wouldn't be able to keep, at the same time that our prayers are now effecting people visually. The relics are a temporary gift from the twelve, as they've obviously decided to actually aid our endeavors.

So... Just because the final save has occurred, that doesn't mean that what's happening isn't important. Keep it in mind.

Interesting observation
I myself believe and hoping that the scenario team will make something amazing out of this

That's more of a guide with known facts, I wish there was a thread to discuss and speculate.

I'm pretty sure no one would mind if you discussed lore in the .....lore guide thread.

On that note, there was a recent post discussing the lore of Sharlavan and Sildih amongst other as of yet innacessible regions and cities.

EDit: Found It. Azury, Kirol, and I discuss the finer points of future cities and regions in the context of the games lore a few pages into that thread.

is there anything going on other than random mobs appearing in town?

Free relics under your bed and chocobos within city walls...?
