New Dungeon preview : Could Omega be the final dungeon that was showed?

[Frederick22]

Omega is buried beneath the Cartenau Flats back in Eorzea and is likely to end up under the control of Lolorito at this rate. We've been told that Omega will play a role in the expansion though so it's entirely possible he'll be reactivated and somehow end up in the Heavens with us.

That final Allagan dungeon in the preview looks like something else though. The final scene they show is of something very large imprisoned in a Dalamud-like structure, complete with blades of energy piercing whatever was being held in the centre. The sudden change in colour scheme there (from blue to red) and the new architecture (lots of spikes and those yellow glowing pods) matches the unique style of Final Coil as well so I'm not sure if that will be of any significance. That dungeon may be where Dalamud was first created. Either way the boss seems likely to be whatever is imprisoned in that sphere, and we know that isn't Omega.

Cant be so sure.

Cant be so sure.

Omega, like Ultima Weapon, was a tool used by Allag to deal with primals. They built it and controlled it so I find it very unlikely that they would need to hold it in a Dalamud-like prison.

It's possible only so far as anything could happen in the expansion and we don't really know what to expect just yet, but I find it very unlikely Omega would somehow be unearthed and reactivated in Cartenau and end up imprisoned on the Floating Continent.

This is only pure expeculation, yes we dont have all the info just yet. I just wanna give some logical facts, I stil could be totaly wong.

Something we know for sure is that on FFXIV nothing is that simple, so could it be that maybe somethone Omega moved from Cartaneau to one of the new areas of HW, on the events of MSQ.
Also lets remmeber, if you wanna fight a big massive and prowefull primal, what would you do? Create a super bigg badass machine. Given of what we saw so far ( Dalamud, Floating Continent, colosal ragnarock startships ) is not out of the question that they woulc have make a colosal machine in orther to fight Bahamut.
I'm not sure if you know the game MGS ( this is just an example ), there were lots of Metal Gears, but Arsenal Gear was different from the rest beacuse of his enormus size.

Though you gotta wonder... why did the Allagan people imprison the winged Ixali (you can see them in the tubes for the first Allag looking dungeon)? Is that dungeon taking place on their native home? Is the imprisoned being an Elder Primal to the winged Ixali?

I have questions that are going to bother me for another month.

It's possible Allag invaded Ayatlan at some point and unleashed the 'Lord of Snakes' on the Ixal before they summoned Garuda to defeat him and lost their wings in the process. Those imprisoned in what I assume to be a lab of some kind were likely taken for genetic experimentation.

There's another possibility though and that's that the Allagans actually created the Ixal. One of Midgardsormr's seven sons has a beak and horns identical to those of the Ixal and I would not be surprised to discover that they are the results of genetic experimentation on him. The dreadknights in the binding coil could very well be the culmination of that research and the Ixal we know in Eorzea escaped the Floating Continent at some point and fled to the ground below. If this were the case then the creature bound within that sphere may well be the dragon they were created from.

Are we completely sure all the dungeons are in the new areas? Perhaps there are ones in the old areas too. They did say the Main Scenario would take us back to the old areas.

I have been considering the possibility that the second of those Allagan dungeons actually is the ruin that Omega is held in under Cartenau. Again I'm not sure why he'd be held in some kind of prison but I suppose it's entirely possible. The architecture there matches what we've seen of the Floating Continent though so I'm leaning more to that being the likely location.

You ask that as if the Allagans ever needed a reason to hurt people. It was Firesday, and the thought that they might make it an entire week without inflicting widespread suffering on an entire culture was simply too much to bear.
