From the quest Two Sides of a Coin - Alisaie gets three different variations in dialogue depending on your progress in the Coils, and Alphinaud gets four.





I'm expecting time travel to be involved - so if we assume the Crystal Tower raids happen at some point in the "current time bubble" of the MSQ, whether that's in the past or future for the individual player, the Enigmatic Figure is from a point in time beyond that.

It's suggested that the Crystal Tower simply "appeared" on the First, so it's possible it somehow shifted in time and space from Eorzea's future to the First's past.

Also, unless there's something odd going on with clones or exact doubles, the Enigmatic Figure's character data leaves very little doubt as to his actual identity...






I assume Rosa means in Shadowbringers, not in 4.56.
Rewatch it in your inn room. The scene with Tataru changes and you can see with the "show progress" check box. The gates are either blocked or closed depending on if you did the CT.
