12 Gods of Hell(Where are 12 hells/realms in FF14?)
12 Gods of Hell(Where are 12 hells/realms in FF14?)
The FF14 game is amazing and probably the best in the world highlighting duality and having strong references to real life examples, such as the Sitra Achra (i.e. the other side in the Kabbalah) and Dante Circles (See screenshots for real life references).

However, we just battle 12 gods from "Myths of the Realm", and went to a heavenly area and they let us defeat them, but their counter parts were never seen. For example, Byregot (the builder), based on duality, should have a entity, "Builder of Hell", in the 12 hells/realms. Based on duality, there should be 12 hells/realms with 12 gods of hell.

Isn't it interesting that the "gifts" supposedly from the 12 hells come from defeating fellow warriors of light on a massive scale, such as the hellbound armour set and mounts?

I would personally like to see a battle, alliance raids...possibly chaotic, between the 12 gods of hell in their respective 12 hells/realms vs Sephiroth/Zenos & WoLs.

Not really any room for any of that.
This begs the question, "Where are these hellbound armour sets coming from?". These hellbound armour sets and mounts can't come from thin air...
Based on the FF14 fandom site, there should be six realms of hell,
1) Hell of Fire Realm
2) Hell of Water Realm
3) Hell of Wind Realm
4) Hell of Ice Realm
5) Hell of Lightning Realm
6) Hell of Earth Realm
7) Seventh Hell watching over the 6 Realms mentioned
These hellbound armours sets and mounts could reasonably represent the Gods of Hell (GoH) in FF14.

Diablo in the Realms of Hell
Does anyone remember the Diablo fight in Shadowbringers? Can you imagine fighting this large, hellish monster in Realms of Hell without the allagans giving him a very weakened body vassal?

I feel that it would indeed be the "end of times" for Eorzea, if the Gods of Hell were unleashed and brought armageddon into this world against the WoLs....
An Experiment by the Ancients gone bad...

The way I also see it, is that Pandaemonium is meant to be the hell, hence why they went as far as having us enter it via the Aetherial Sea near the Atiascope.
In there, we of course fought many bosses.
I felt like in Endwalker, Pandaemonium was a horrible experiment that went bad. The ancients had captured and caged different monsters from different worlds, and Athena was trying to achieve godhood. So, I felt that it really did not cover the Realms of Hell or even the origins of Diablo. If that was indeed the intention of the developers, it leaves open a lot of questions...like where did these hellish monsters come from?
Over 12000 Years of Sins from the Population of the Source

As far as the hellhound armor and all that goes, I'm assuming the designs come from Eorzeans seeing voidsent. Voidsent literally run around towns handing out cookies, so it's not like it's unusual for an Eorzean to have seen one.
Exactly!!! If we look at how the "Ageless Necropolis" was brought into existence, it was created with the "fear of death" of a very small population on the Source. The Source is also known as the world of Hydaelyn and also as Etheirys.

"Being thus forced to confront the realities of mortal existence, what then filled their hearts was a dark and unreasoning terror. Harnessing this heightened fear of death for his own ends, a genius of an age gone by now channels the people's desperate prayers for succor into a new primal incarnation." -In game description
We have over 12000 Years of Sins from the different Populations of the Source, channeling the people's sins into several primal incarnations with virtually uncapped power. Based on the FF14 folklore and the duality theme, I thinks it's very reasonable to think that the Realms of Hell exist, manifesting and powering the Gods of Hell for over 12,000 years. And I think the bottomless hole near the Ridorana Lighthouse could be a great location, and I would not be surprised that some sort of powerful Diabolos lurks on the Source, like Zodiark on the moon.

But it still begs these questions,
1) Why did all the Ancients want to leave back to the star?
2) Why did they wait until the WoL were stronger than them to leave?
Perhaps, the Ancients knew there were more powerful enemies on the source...so they waited to leave...

Theme Park for the Final Fantasy Universe
Because yoshi-p said that ff14 could be a theme park for the final fantasy universe, I feel that the Hell idea would be a great opportunity for the developers to introduce other aspects of the Final Fantasy Universe, such as themes and characters from Final Fantasy Type-0 and other series.
Also, these characters below could be used in those Realms of Hell.

“The better the questions, the better the answers will be…”
So, now we all know why…I guess that’s it. I’m looking forward to what the developers come up with in the future. Thank you for your responses.
BTW, I have this sixth sense that some of these forum posters are undercover Square Enix employees…but that’s a whole different discussion for another day…
