Funny how the main spike of stone in Limsa and Eulmore is the only obvious feature to survive on both worlds, and funny how it looks more like a horn than a natural rock formation.

Also with Hydaelyn weakened and Zodiark trapped, any contained creature would have little trouble breaking free, I bet, with enough rejoinings.

This reminds me. I do wish I'd remembered to ask in the Q&A thread if there was a reason that Limsa and Eulmore looked so similar. It implies that the basic structure, or at least the architectural style, is actually pre-sundering. Assuming it wasn't just an artistic choice, of course. Oh, well. Maybe Banri Oda will be able to escape his tower again soon and we can ask more questions.
