    Minfilia (speaking for Hydaelyn) says he was cast into space, "a moon bound."
    And then the Encyclopaedia Eorzea describes what she says as Zodiark being cast into space, "a moon, bound."
    And on pages before that, it says explicitly, that Hydaelyn (as the will of light) cast Zodiark (the will of darkness) into space, "where it became the moon."

    It's such a minor detail, but it's driving me crazy—probably because Endwalker is so close and I'm getting a bit antsy.
    I don't have a problem with this. These are in-universe sources and therefore not required to be 100% reliable. Hydaelyn doesn't need to tell us the whole truth or even the truth at all, and the Encyclopaediae are an in-universe account of the history of the world from an in-universe author's perspective and research, so I'd even be okay with them disagreeing on far greater details than this.

    I suggested all of those, as well, previously! I just didn't want to repeat it, here.
    It's especially difficult to hear a comma, so it would be understandable if that bit was just left out of the Scions' official account.

    It's not the inconsistency that bothers me so much as not knowing which is the truth.
    Was Zodiark stuck into an existing moon, or was the moon formed as a part of the sundering? That's what I want to know.
