Even then if we're going to start nitpicking the story like this, then we might as well go ALL the way back to every single thing in this story to nitpick some of the power inconsistencies if this is truly such a bother. Why is a single WoL more powerful than another set of WoLs? How come Nidhogg took his sweet time to ravage Ishgard unless if we're treating him like Meteion....maybe he wasnt trying hard enough? How come the Garleans with all their superior magitek still lost the war? What about Emet-Selch whom lived multiple lives and for thousand of years suddenly thought "oh I wonder if maybe I try to understand these people and follow them". Its stuff like this when you start dissecting a simple jrpg story causes more unnecessary crutches and issues that would make the average story cynic have an aneurysm.
Hermes designed a being that could reach the edge of the universe. The people from the source designed a ship that could reach the edge of the universe. Suddenly going to the edge of the universe is impossible? Also the scenario we're discussing includes a fan theory that involves a much more powerful zodiark. You're not keeping up with the discussion.

There's no need to shut down players examining the story with more granularity. If you can't handle that, this might not be the best thread for you to stick around in.
