Sundering and specific character questions. [Spoilers]

[Theozilla]

If there was a pre-existing moon/celestial satellite prior to the Sundering/Zodiark’s banishment to the heavens, and it was more akin to Zodiark was sealed inside/fused with the moon, maybe that’s what gave the Ascians the idea to give the Allagans the idea to put Primal Bahamut into Dalamud?

I believe I found the interview MikkoAkure may have been referring to?

And Koji only says that the Sundering/“splitting” was focused on the planet Hydaelyn. He actually says how far the split extends is something that he still needs to confirm with Oda-san. So it seems like it wasn’t fully confirmed then.

So perhaps maybe the Sundering only sundered the souls the Planet/Source, but the other planets instead essentially got “copied” into the dimensions of the 13 shards, but they aren’t “diminished” soul-wise like the Hydaelyn shard planet inhabitants. So there could be a Migardsormr in the universe of the First, who is also unsundered, but just never came to the First?

If the Sundering is localised then I don't think there is a "universe of the First". There is a single wider universe but one small patch of it is containing multiple simultaneous realities, each one thinner than the normal density of reality.

The best way I can think of picturing it is to imagine the universe as a stack of paper sheets, mostly glued together but there's one patch that has come unglued so the sheets aren't attached to each other.

Most of the block has a single surface and thick layer underneath, but this section has many thin layers with separate surfaces. It's not clear whether you could access any of the additional surfaces from the surrounding universe or only the uppermost layer (the Source), which looks no different to the surrounding "whole" space.

This analogy represents the universe as 2D while the effect of the Sundering creates a more 3D structure, so to translate that to the real 3D universe then Hydaelyn is some kind of 4D hypersphere thing with only one section of it (the Source) visible from and existing in the outside universe. (I'm not going to pretend I fully grasp how 4D works but I think "seeing a 3D cross-section in 3D space" is the end result, like a sphere intersecting a 2D plane would appear as a circle.)

So yeah, I think it's likely that you can only access the Source from outside the planet, but once you're on the planet it's possible to mess with dimensions and access a different layer of the split world.


...but then, why would Omega have the ability to traverse it if it's a localised phenomenon unknown to Omega's creators?
