No true gods?

[Pireco]

According to encyclopedia eorzea, in the myth of the creation states that the twelve came before hydaelin and zodiark, and the way they describe the twelve it seems to me they are the real gods, they live and rule the six (7?)heavens and hells and they left the land in "humans" hands so in my opinion they are the real gods but unless the devs say something, the encyclopedia seems to be writen by an eorzean scholar, based in his beliefs/knowledge, so thats his truth.
That being said i have no idea why they gave their power to Louisoix , maybe to prevent the actual destruction of the original hydaelyn?

Oh! I can actually answer that last one! It was less the Twelve giving their power to Louisoix and more adventurers focusing their prayers to the symbols of the Twelve, in a way acting as the belief element in a summoning. In a very roundabout way, Louisoix used that aether and belief to do a sort of Primal summoning WITHOUT actually summoning them physically into this realm.

Never thought that, but it makes sense, as Louisoix as far i know is devoted to the twelve, so he manipulated the aether to manifest in that power, nice one������
