Which is the reason a majority didnt care or like the Nier raid story. I want a version of Tavnazia or any of the kingdoms to exist or HAVE existed in the past of Etheirys.

It would make sense too considering the numerous calamities where various kingdoms and civilizations fell in all parts of the world. This is how they could tie a version of Vanadiel to have existed or heck be the first civilization to have rose up post Sundering in the Source and the birth of the races (sans Au Ra, Hroth and Viera lol)
The problem I have with this approach is the fact that Iroha being sent here by Altana across dimensions and Shantotto coming on her own have already been established. It would be so weird having a version of Vana’diel like we have a version of Ivalice since we already had characters cross over from the original.

I also don’t see how our version of Ivalice isn’t jarring considering the timeline is backwards and they made a husband and wife as twins. FFXI revolves around Altana, Promathia, and their own version of Ancients and either having Vana’diel be a shard or pieces of it just randomly placed on empty sections of the map will mean entire parts of its story just aren’t possible anymore since they can’t exist in a world with Hydaelyn.

If they feel the need to do a Vana’diel raid, I’d rather it be the proper one than a knock-off since that’s the only way to do it justice. IIRC, one of the ideas behind Tanaka’s vision of 1.0 was for the two worlds to be loosely connected to each other anyway.
