Crossover events and breaking immersion

[Valic]

Omega is not an Allagan creation, they (as far as we know) never went past orbit, and they never figured out time travel (that's Alexander's thing, and he came about long after Allag fell). The Allagans lost track of "bettering themselves" long before their fall when they fell into rampant hedonism and abused their technology in increasingly horrific ways. Midgardsormr had no known interactions with the Allagans at all, and they did not send Omega to track him anywhere; nor would they have to send Omega beyond the stars, since both Middy and Omega were already on Hydaelyn before the Allagan Empire ever arose. Midgardsormr never "threatened existence", he fell here as a refugee after Omega wiped out his planet.

Please rewatch the cut scenes for the Omega raid before you try to use them as a talking point.

That's what I wanted to see. Disregarding me being an idiot and forgetting the entirety of the Omega raid story... My point stands, you understand what it is and it doesn't really break immersion from the game considering how the universe works so far. All people have to do is read to understand and bam, immersion saved. Maybe I'm mixing up something to do with Ultima but I swear I thought there was something to do with Omega being something to do with Allag, maybe because I'm relating Nero in all this and the fact we found the dang control pad in Mor Dhona, I forget tbh.... Again though, considering how you laid it out, it doesn't sound very "out of this world" for this game.

You actually help my point tho. This is in XIV's lore, He is literally the plot to Sonic Battle. Where an ancient race created a being of insane power for whatever purposes that came to life to search for his own meaning to life. Literally sonic battle or any sicfi plot since the dawn of time. When you look at it that way I don't see how people complain about a car not fitting when omega is literally one of the basics of all sicfi plots accross many stories and games.. one being mega man or Sonic the hedgehog. I bring those up cause putting those two games next to XIV looks insane. But what do you know.. XIV is using the same plots as those two games did and many more before it. I'm just saying it's not that far off when you step back and see everything for what it is. It just feels like people look at XIV and think - IT'S OLD ENGLISH TIMES- when it's really not... it's not even set on earth for that to make sense. I shorten the qoute cause this forum sucks.

Disregard most of my post tbh, I'm sleepy and apparently forgot the entire plot of the damn thing... In any case, I think we are in agreement then and prolly didn't pick up on the possible sarcasm. I know people who genuinely act like Omega is this "lolwow" thing like it doesn't belong at all (though I wish it was written better). I personally don't relate the things you mention to FFXIV, but you're on point with "how can we say its immersion breaking when its like this?" type deal. Also, you can post and edit a post right after to go beyond the character post limit on these forums.... I agree they suck >_>;
