The Gravity deformation via Dalamud proximity theory neatly explains the huge spikes of earth erupting and other anomalies. Granted, it could be done via "aether magnetism" just as easily. Perhaps the eruptions of earth are due to the fact that they have heavy aether concentrations in them...

Either one works for me.

The time-gap, world-rebuilding issue is the only thing I'm really curious about now. How do they explain entire cities, new empire outposts, etc.. all rebuilt overnight?
time gap is overthinking.

yoshi npc spoke about a different world much like ours or something like that.

so dimensional merge or voidgate being opened.
