(SPOILERS) Sin Easters in future content?

[KageTokage]

It has been suggested that sin eaters may exist somewhere outside of the First given that the Amdapori golems were believed to have been inspired by visions of "beings from another plane" and preceded the flood of light.

Whether that's another shard or some new plane of reality entirely is something I'm curious to see.

Perhaps from wherever Ultima came from. We STILL don't know where she was from, after all.

Time is not constant between the shards. It is entirely possible for the golems to have been cast in the image of Sin Eaters without mucking anything up.

Alternatively, as another poster has put forward, it could easily be that some Sin Eaters wound up in other worlds through various means. A world where the aether is still in balance would in all probability make it impossible for them to make more of themselves in the usual way - or at least make it more difficult.

Time isn't constant, but we do have the date for the Flood of Light, which was in its early stages when the Warriors of Darkness were brought to the Source, and then they returned with Minfilia.

It's not entirely impossible to wrangle it that sin eaters were already spawning in those early days, and the time alignment got really wonky around that point and the initial triggering of the Flood happened all the way back in the Source's Fifth Astral Era, but that feels convoluted to me.
