Prepare to have your mind blown

The gravitational pull of the moon will deform the world itself, and pulling up the crystal tower and other things with it.
That's how i always looked at it.

Except that's not exactly how gravity works....
If Aetherytes starting rising, something on the moon is specifically pulling aetherytes... not gravity
Gravity creates a field that distorts spacetime... as such, a "second" field would... You know what... you're just going to have to trust me on that
Even if it did happen in game (Which is highly unlikely considered the research that goes into these things), it would disappoint me that something so unrealistic happened

Basically FFXIV is a mashup of FFIII, FFVII, FFVIII, FFXI, FFXII, and FFXIII. >.>

this is exactly what I've been saying...

The Garlean Empire is obviously influenced heavily by FFXII's Archadian Empire and FFVI's Empire as well

the Aetherial Energy is so very "FFVII Mako" that it is ridiculous...

Even Legatus Darnus says he wants to hit Eorzea with Meteor and gather at that spot to soak up all the pure creation energy (Sound like Sephy maybe?)

And the struggle with the Beast tribes (Among other things like character races, some gameplay mechanics) are heavily influenced by FFXI...

The FFIII influence is that FFXI was heavily influenced by it, so any references to FFXI probably go back to FFIII

the whole Dalamud ordeal kind of makes me think of the Space events and Lunar Cry from FFVIII... also in the Dats there was a whip class... and although there have been whips before.. the most memorable has got to be Quistis Trepe...

Lastly... the twelve and Primals seem very FaL'cie like from FFXIII (Kind of a stretch but similarities exist) and the paragons could very well be like L'cie

FF tradition usually entails using themes from previous games, some small things like the reoccuring Cid, Wedge and Biggs, to the larger things the game is completly based round like jobs, having wierd kids in the party and the Job systems.

Even the stories are heavily based round save the moon or save the crystals (notice anything similar in FFXIV?)

Thats why there are things that can be compared to old FF games.

Yea... I love that about the FF series

Dalamud is too close to us, it is past the "point of no return" and will crash unless something intervines (possible aether-attraction and reacts blowing it up)

Agreed unless it is man made and features some type of propulsion system
Also, people mistakenly fear the "Gravity field" of the moon when the impending Impact and even the magnetic field" pose a much more serious threat

Op...I have no clue what this is...I havn't yet the time to get into the lore of the game...but it looks like one huge phallus...(Yes I used phallus!) Sorry XD I just couldn't help pointing that out...
