Has Allagan technology gone too far?

Looks to me like it hasn't gone far enough.

Law of JRPG, ancient technology is always more advanced than technology in modern times.

Edit: LOL didn't even see your char in there

Not so far, sadly its hologram technology only allows your head to be projected on the table.

Don't forget swords > guns

i agree too

I was holding out on coil because I wanted to play a Final Fantasy game, not Final Sci-Fi. In the end, it turned out to be another MMO.

Wait, wait...Using Science to control ancient magic is something that has been in a good chunk of Final Fantasy games, so why should it be any surprise here?

It's an extremely common theme in jRPGs that Ancient Technology is ALWAYS better then modern. To name a few examples: in Chrono Trigger the Zeal Kingdom had more advanced technology. Final Fantasy 5 had ancient Airships and fortresses that were more advanced, Final Fantasy 4 and the Lunar Whale that brought you to the moon.
Final Fantasy 14 is no exception

FF1's entire Wind Crystal dungeon series (Tower -> Floating Castle) was essentially intended to be futuristic, given it had a walking mech and was a flying castle from an ancient civilization and all.
FF4's Tower of Babel (Bab-il, etc.) literally had you fighting a giant computer orb in the heights of a gigantic hyper-futuristic tower - the same orb you fight in Turn 1 and 2 (Coil actually has a significant resemblance to the Tower of Babel now that I think about it)
FF5 has the inhabitants of Lonka who had cannons, rocket launchers, and a floating fortress, and the series' first genuine super optional boss - Omega, who was a robot.
FF6, 7, and 8 are like a progression steadily from early industrial -> modern times -> futuristic utopia
FF9 might not have looked the part but the Terrans basically had a nuke and cloning.
X's Spira was basically modern civilization 1000 years ago and is only the way it was because of the stigmatization and religious prohibitions on technology and science.
XII, despite the lack of technology in most parts, also has segments that would have felt completely at home in Star Wars and may have been heavily influenced by it.
The entire juxtaposition of XIII's Gran Pulse and Cocoon was "natural and wild vs technology and controlled"

I could go on and on but bro do you even final fantasy

I can answer that one for ya. When you're inside a house, you can clip through stuff due to 2.16's removal of collision detection inside residences.
