Il Mheg 1/2 of two mirrored zones?

[fay2]

Actually, it's the opposite. Alexander deliberately withdrew and chose not to make any changes to the timeline, because it calculated all the possibilities and concluded that its own aether-draining existence had a greater negative effect on the world than any positive changes it could implement.

As well as the paradoxes of time travel will case a calamity in of them selves too.

It made one.
To stop time travel from being used by the illuminati at the point it started.

Right now Alexander is in a state like schrodinger's cat
{rather apt the black coeurl I guess}

Alexander also couldn't calculate out comes around the WoL/D.

We do get the Grani mount, but that doesn't mean it belongs to us in the story. You can get Odin's mount too.

Apples and Oranges both fruit but not the same thing.
Grani is a collectors mount
Odin's Sleipnir is mogstation purchase mount {where you can buy other lore braking items}

Granted tho the mythos from Norse mythology is, Grani is offspring/descendant from Sleipnir.
so maybe Oranges and Mandarins
but before someone gose "Grani is offspring/descendant from Sleipnir" see time travel
The Sleipnir we have is not the same at the Sleipnir in Norse mythology. It's missing 2 legs to start with and its brought into being by the odin primal which is really a sword in ffxiv.

All that makes me think that the new zones overlap the old zone on the other dimensions.
It would certainly bring back life to the old FFXIV zones if some of the new zones over laped old ones and we had to pop back and forth.

So far of the collectors mounts (Fat Chocobo, Griffin, Syldra)
The Griffin has found a rider other than the WoL/D and that was the expansion(StB) after the expansion it was got in(HW).

And in any case, as I said, it's an indistinct background that doesn't suggest a burnt forest (or anything specific) in any way. It's grey and black, but so are the figures in the foreground. There's no colour in the entire image.

Been in the aftermath of a intense forest fire before? grey and black is about it.

Okay, forget the "five years since the Calamity" thing. Time moves, things happen one after the other. I was just saying it's an oddity of the storytelling that you can't actually say "when" they happen.

Yes its an oddity.
Have you asked yourself is there another reason for it that could explain it in game?

In any case, having rewatched the scene, I still think it's drawing a very long bow. The leap from "holding some crystals in a formation that looks like anther world's southern constellation" to "we're off to Meracydia!" is too far for me.

Yes, I did state that I would find it funny if we ended up in meracydia in the original post because it was completely over looked.

As for very long bows look at last expansions fanfest job hint t-shirt for samurai

As well as the "holding some crystals in a formation that looks like another world's southern constellation".
That "other world" is where the creators of this world live. The real world and they pull references from it, to in rich this world that FFxiv is found.

To bring back G'raha without having to force the Crystal Tower plotline. >_>

Yes it is a mute point

They don't need time travel because they will repeat the way they have treated it in the past
-force it in to a clear condition (1st 3 Primals ARR)
-ignore the fact you have yet to do or have done (estinien drg 30-50 post HW)

It will most likely be the 1st, as they did make it a lot easier to get to the labyrinth of the ancients, no to long ago removing the fate aspect form the lead in quests. Reducing the time to unlock it immensely.
