What if this is the 1.0 world, though? We know hidelyne split everything apart 10,200 years ago. We also know that there are counterparts for every race (and possibly major figure) in each world. we also know that Louisoux died in a flood of light, and that no one can remember the legacy players' names origins.

What if the Crystal Tower itself is the gateway between these worlds and the 1.0 characters are from this other Eorzea? It's possible we all are. They don't have the same problems we do, because their world is flooded with light. That doesn't mean they didn't in the past.
