As a small contribution on my part, let's recall a chief characteristic of the 7th Umbral era - the weakening of the veil between this world and the void. Such weakening allowed the admittance of far more significant Voidsent into Eorzea than could otherwise gain access, chief among them the Atomos (cue darksteelfoil hat for Crystal Tower implications).

5. What happened to Atmos?

Thanks to the havoc wreaked on the planet’s aetherial flow by good old Dalamud (Bahamut) the rift between Hydaelyn and the void (which up until now had been small, and reserved to places like Dzemael Darkhold) grew extremely large in that turbulent period of time leading up to the Battle of Carteneau. This allowed far more, far larger, and far more powerful enemies a free pass into Eorzea—a hotbed of aetherial energy, also known as a voidsent’s favorite snack. Atomos was one of these creatures. So, what happened to him? That remains to be seen in ARR.

I have this hunch that Diablos' own means of arrival may have been... similar. Or at least given cause to similar nasty phenomina that would make the elementals say <kupo> this!

I'm a little more troubled by the fact that, thus far, all travel seems to have been Void -> Eorzea. With the veil being weakened, who's to say that there was no travel the other direction, and what would be the ramifications there?

You actually traveled into the void, for about 6 seconds, when you opened the matching doors. The ramifications seem to be temporary invincibility

your immune because your in a different plane of existence. you can't do anything there, as your being pulled to an exit constantly. you also get a vulnerability up debuff for entering the void, so i suppose it is harmful for us to enter the void.

I think someone just doesn't get a joke. Anyway, I don't remember a vulnerability debuff, there is an invincibility buff that says you're currently in the void, but considering the original statement never said anything about actually doing anything in the void, only traversing from Eorzea to Void, that pretty much answers the original premise

during the fight you get a single stack of curse at the end of the void trip far better than the 4 stacks of curse you get from Diabolos's Ruinous Omen actually hitting you.

I've got a few ideas on this front, but it deserves a thread in it's own right.

Please look forward to it. (TM)
