Shifting and Concerning Moods Regarding the Writing

[Alec97]

I don't see this as a problem, like literally EVERY divine being since ARR has been a primal/aether+belief empowered entity, I mean using people as primal cores started with Ysayle in HW, in the FF14 universe there is actually no such thing as gods.

Yeah except the ancients who could create anything and are an allegory for the heavenly host, along with the primals who can do the same thing as well.

The gods in FF14 are akin to pagan gods and representations of pagan gods in literature. I dont know where you get the idea that there is no such thing as a god in the setting as it's simply not true. What you have done is say that God is made and influenced by aether and thought. Therefore, they couldn't be a god is a really weird line of logic as you as a person are, made of the materials of the world and are inherently influenced by those around you, you act differently and beleive different things based on others so why wouldn't a pagan God? Is there no such thing as a person now?

These gods are not godheads they are individual beings that are manifestations of functions of the world/universe. That's a god. Zeus constantly changes his mind and is influenced by man is he suddenly not a god, or is a god only a being similar to that of the father where He births the universe where He sees, knows and is all things?

The gods in FF14 and other works are more than just summons they are the embodiment of universal and eternal ideals that existed long before man and were enacted by them. They will still exist even if we stop believing in them and our interpretation of these fundamental rules or truths will evolve with us, does that mean the Gods have changed or has our understanding of them changed?
