Could XIV become the origin point of Omega? (spoilers for 3.56 and other games)

[Anonymoose]

This is just one Square Enix outsider's worthless opinion, but I'd be upset on behalf of a director if the company took it out of their hands to opt-in to anything. Anything. On the vague foundations of world-building in general, I think Gilgamesh and Omega and Shinryu shouldn't be any different than chocobos or moogles - appearing in most installments, but the final say on if and how lying with the leadership of the team.

Example: If one director says their moogles crossed the Interdissidomegamesh Rift, does every director thereafter have to conform? Should fans retcon their understanding of past titles into a new context?

The way I perceive it currently, and I could be absolutely wrong, sharing the universe of a game, or a small piece of it, has been a choice - and a choice some have made. Sometimes it's the entire basis of a character or game. But it doesn't seem mandatory, does it?

As I said a few days ago:

The way I perceive it currently, and I could be absolutely wrong, Final Fantasy XIV has been allowing other stories to opt-in to it without being the breaker of its own rules for anyone. Something in Final Fantasy XI's world allowed it (temporarily, and in an isolated manner) to break our world's rules (Shantotto). Something in Final Fantasy XIII's world allowed it (temporarily, and in an isolated manner) to break our world's rules (Bhunivelze). Even when it's outside of an event and taken a bit more seriously, Nybeth just is, and from some vague otherwhere.

I think it's entirely up to Team Yoshida where Omega came from for them, and just like they shouldn't be able to be forced to say it's from any directly from other FF then inherently connected to Hydaelyn, other installments shouldn't be forced to say XIV was Patient Zero for their use of something.

As far as I know, Omega was built by the Allagans. However, it has deliberately alien and otherworldly themes to it. We know that the Ascians assisted in Allag's expansion of technology, and we know that Tiamat blames the Ascians for Allag possessing the capability to capture primals. Perhaps, like the power source of Ultima (the Heart of Sabik), Omega has bits of otherworldly origin. Or perhaps the Bend of Time we'll see in 4.0 truly is using bits of Chrono lore as a "vague otherwhere" like Nybeth did with Tactics Ogre. We'll have to see!

However, as has been the theme of this accidental manifesto (sorry for that, by the way), I personally believe being able to opt-in and opt-out is a fundamental right of a Final Fantasy director, so I don't try very hard to do mental gymnastics with the franchise canon where it doesn't force me to.
