Dalamud in 1.22b

Something to ponder... what if Meteor doesn't land? We're all assuming that meteor will crash down, and the changes to the landscape will be a result of the devestation, but what if instead the changes come about as the result of the CURE to meteor?

As we know, meteor is intended to wipe out Eorzea. However, we also know the cities will be largely the same as they were come 2.0. It seems rather odd that the disaster would have little impact on the cities. I'm imagining something like Holy from FFVII: Something coming out of the ground to stop the meteor.

Not to be a 7 fanboy, but I liked the idea of Holy stopping meteor
And them being one of the few iterations of Light/dark in the game

It would make sense and explain why the aether of Eorzea is being drained into Dalamud seeing as thats the "lifeblood" of the primals and they thrive on that.

Or maybe Odin is sealed inside the Crystal Tower that's supposed to show up soon. After all it's the tomb of a king and Odin has been a king in FF history.

The biggest thing that would change if the "Big Moon" fell would be be that the planet would no longer orbit the barycenter. Since the planet doesn't appear to "Orbit" the moon, it is assumed that the barycenter is within the planet, meaning the planet's size is much larger than that of even the larger moon

Also, since there has been no change in the day/night cycle or the planet's rotation, then it is assumed that Dalamud is not large enough to have effected the Barycenter in any noticeable way and is therefore not large enough to cause any type of large-scale gravitational tidal anomolies

There are so many scientific inaccuracies in this one post it makes me lol! You need to read up on General Relativity.

Water is on the planet...therefore, moons do affect planets.

Wait! There is more! If we lose our moon by it not existing or falling out of orbit, the Earth's rotation would be affected and speed up. It is the dynamic of distance, pull, momentum that causes us to rotate at the speed we do. We would end up with only the Sun's pull which would cause our day to be 1/2 to 2/3 shorter. The faster rotation would mean great changes for everyone...think of the surface winds, the 8-12 hour days, so many other things affected by this. In the game it translates to what was mentioned...the sea, the crops, the monsters, etc.l

Your use of barycentre is wrong. A barycentre is the center of mass, not the center of a planet. A center of mass is established like the moon(s) rotation and the planet in balance with each other. Our Earth does not sit and spin. It rotates and orbits along a fixed line that is in balance with the bodies around it, that are also doing the same thing. That spot, that center which the earth and its bodies orbit in balance is your barycentre...your center of gravity/center of mass.

This one is slightly better, but the length of the day wouldn't change if the moon disappeared, the moon is very gradually slowing down the spin of the earth. If the moon disappeared, the deceleration would stop, and our days would remain at 24 hour days.

It's just a game anyways! And it's a fantasy game, science doesn't matter.

The possibilities! The speculation! x)

2.0 hurry and get here ; ;

I'll get banned for this but I have "Acquired" an image of Dalamud in the next patch.

So it has been foretold!

not sure if anyone posted this already.

Fly me to Dalamoon
Let me play among the sky
Let me see what spring is like
On Meteor up high
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with Bard
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I summon and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
