"Eureka, the Forbidden Land" thories [Crystal Tower SPOILERS]

[Fenral]

Tl;dr: It was possible to send a message about hope, in very similar circumstances, without ending it they way they did, so with the presence of Eureka teased by that certain cutscene, is there some deeper reason that they didn't?

Four "Like!"s tells me that not everyone thinks I'm crazy, at least. Which is a shame, actually, because I was hoping someone besides me would have some useful insight. Considering 2.55 treated us to FFXIV's new and improved stance on ambitious optimism (poor Alphinaud), the above is simply one highly probable question out of many I can see being raised in some future storyline involving Cid and more Allagan tech.

But that the entire thing simply happened as a way for the Allagans to "redeem" themselves, and G'raha Tia was simply a one-off legendary Pokemon who showed up to teach us about the responsible use of ancient doomsday machines and our role in shaping the future of humanity, seems to be an understanding that works for most people, so I dunno.

I also get the feeling that this is simply the one subject that nobody wants to play ball with me on, which may or may not be entirely my fault for having such strong convictions. /sigh
