Resurrecting this thread since it seems to be on topic to my question. So it appears to be the general consensus that the Sundering would not have affected beings from other planets like Midgardsormr (and thus his descendants), Omega, and Nybeth Obdilord (the Floor 100 boss of the Palace of the Dead). Has that been stated/confirmed by any official sources, or is that just the most common agreed upon viewpoint? Because that interpretation seems to make the physics of the universe pretty convoluted compared to assuming the Sundering affected the entire universe (i.e. other planets too).

Because if beings from other planets were not affected by the Sundering does that mean the outer-space of (beyond the moon at least) of the FFXIV can only interact with The Source’s planet? Like if someone living on a Shard/reflection tried to go into outer-space would that outer-space be the same outer-space of the Source? And then if the same individual then turned around would they land on their original Shard planet or would they land on the planet of the Source. Also if time passes differently between Shards and the Source randomly, how the heck would that square with them sharing the same outer-space?

I dunno it seems like it is simpler to assume that the Sundering had to have applied to all of reality, not just the local planet space, for the outer space stuff to make sense.
