Side note, but this (transforming aether into matter, and back again) is exactly how Omega is described to work, and I am hoping dearly for there to be some reference to that. It would be so cool to have the characters compare the two methods of Creation Magick and Omega Synthesis.

(Realistically I suspect the writers will just go "it's too troublesome to explain, don't think about it too hard", but I can still hope.)

If I am correct, then it would be that the real Archaeotania has been living in the oceans of the Tempest for thousands of years, since before the sundering. That would make sense given that on the source, Archeotania (who probably died during one of the calamities) would be the monster that sparked myths of Leviathan to the Saghin. So on the Source, legends of Archeotania were corrupted over thousands of years to become Leviathan, Lord of the Whorl, and on the First Archeotania never perished because there was never any calamities, so it survived intact to pester the Ondo.


Also I think it was interesting that Archeotania used some techniques like Megaflare and Gigaflare. I wonder if it inspired the primal Bahamut similar to how Shinryu was a primal that was inspired by Midgardsrmr.
You could be right; I've never had the occasion to do the Archaeotania FATE series, so all I know about it are the fact that the FATE series exists, and the Akademia Anyder unlock quest dialogue.

Then again, if Archaeotania pre-dates the Sundering, I wonder why it seems to have survived twelve thousand years on the First, but the Source doesn't seem to have one, and possibly only survives as a Primal myth. Does it count as a "fragmented" existence? Does the existence of Midgardsormr's brood on the Source have anything to do with Archaeotania's absence?
