[4.4 Discussion] "Change the Future"

[Anonymoose]

Man oh man.

I'm still in the pre-assessment phase - making sure I know how all the puzzle pieces are REALLY shaped and laying the out on the table before I try to fit any together.

As such I've got a lot of wrong and irresponsibly loose ideas floating around, lol.

The only thing we've ever seen summon our soul from our flesh like that was when Hydaelyn brought us to the Sea for a chat. Could this be Zodiark? (Why does he sound like Arbert? Shouldn't Zodiark sound more ... more?)

Ahead looms Calamity and Flood? Are these the twin dooms? Or is the Calamity doom in tow worlds and the Flood the continuing result of this path...?

What do you mean let expanse contract, let eon become instant? This sounds like some god-tier Time Compression stuff. Is this going back to Nabriaes's whole "Zodiark is the King of Precepts, even time bows before Him!" thing?

Are the gates in question the gates in the Chrysalis which symbolize that it's in a vague ELSEWHERE that one must enter from OUTSIDE conventional space? did Zodiark Echo-drag us into the Rift for a moment!?

Is this connected to Y'shtola mucking around with a dark purple crystal associated with the moon and surrounded by serpent statues right before this?

If not Zodiark, WHO?

Why did this voice show up 30 seconds after Thancred states his plan, like, "HEY. BAD PLAN."

How long as he been watching? Why has he never spoken before?

I cannot make all these pieces fit together without pre-supposing that someone is lying.
Until I get a better idea what I'm working with, knee-jerk gut instinct wants Zodiark to be setting up a total Palpatine-esque clean up and seize all the pieces for Himself.
Gotta stay #TeamHydaelyn. Gotta stay the course.

But if there was ever a time I was tempted to doubt...
