Fan Fest Lore Revelations [Spoilers]

[Alleo]

It's my personal prediction that this dungeon is in THE FUTURE. In the next patch, the voice that's been stealing away the Scions' consciousnesses will succeed in doing the same for the WoL, and will take us to the Bad Future represented by the Gimlet Dark. We'll then run the dungeon, and be returned to our body in the past, having witnessed first-hand the horrors we need to prevent.

That's just a guess, however!

Thats honestly my guess too. Otherwise we would have a garlean invasion or huge attack in the last patch which would still feel quite sudden. This way they could have the WoL see the effects of the actions (even though I still dont know what we should do against that..) and still dont have to change the map at all.

Something that came to mind was how the WoL minion describes that the WoL usually appears in the Umbral Era when they're most needed and mysteriously disappears afterward (don't quote me I have no access to the game rn).

Is Kuribu what happens to the WoL when their work is done? Dragging and dropping WoL.exe into the recycling bin as it were?

Only my guess so no proof here: Couldnt it simply be that the WoLs died? I mean they did not manage to stop the calamities so maybe they simply died there.

That's definitely a possibility. It's also possible the minion's description was written just with the 1.0 WoL in mind.

Doesn't mesh. The WoL appearing in the Umbral Era means they are working to create an Astral Era (Like we did). The WoL disappearing means they aren't usually around when a Calamity hits.

Which does beg the question, did the 1.0 WoL mess things up by...Being Warriors of Light at that point? I mean, I don't recall having crystals for what I did of the story, but I never finished it, and I...Assume (correct me if I am wrong) that the 1.0 players who finished the story still got their first crystal the same way. I suppose all this rambling is getting at is that there were no WoL until after the Calamity. We may literally be upsetting the balance by being around when a Calamity *might* hit.

Something that came to mind after the 4.4 stuff was wondering if Bahamut was actually meant to be the Seventh Calamity, and not just something that came along, because I feel like the whole "Create Garlean Empire to create Calamity" idea kinda falls apart if the idea was to have them still pull off another Calamity. This is the first time (That I recall from when I read the lorebook) that nations actually continued to exist as they relatively were when a Calamity hit. The idea of still having planned not one, but two Calamities triggered via the Garleans...Was either just a massive case of hedging their bets, since there was no guarantee there would be a Garlean Empire post-Bahamut or a massive case of "Pulling things out of our rear."
