Prepare to have your mind blown

[Deltara]

Unless I completely misunderstood things, I changed the course of history by changing things during one of my echo experiences in the Alchemy quest line.

I seem to recall something like that as well. Hmm...

I do hope Ascions make more appearances and that idea wasnt scrapped when they swapped directors

I do think the twelve will play a role and maybe the primal will help reshape the land.
But I'm more curious about what is inside Dalamud is it hollow? It was built by an ancient race and then made it to outer space somehow.

The going thoery right now is that Dalamud contains what could be described as Anti-Aether, a substance that attracts aether and causes the crystals to begin to rise and creates the crystal tower.

It seems to be the only logical explination from what we know, it could be that Dalamud is very similar to the planet (I can never spell the name) and contains aether's opposite and when it gets too close the aether and Dalamud pull eachother together, possibly Dalamud is made of the substance entirely.

Anti-Aetherial, Highly reactive, photosphere covering a natural or artificial (It's still too early to tell) satellite
I think that about sums it up... I love it!!!!

Really cool OP! I wonder what approach SE will take o.o

[Mireille]

Illustrates a good point though. I used to think Meteor was going to hit Eorzea and that was going to reshape it. More recently, however, I saw a theory suggesting that Meteor was going to be stopped (by us, presumably) and Meteor would get close but not actually hit Eorzea. However, the gravity of the Meteor would reshape the planet. Including what you have suggested.

Anyone else thinking this is what will happen?

Some of the concept art for 2.0 seems evocative of a scenario in which something large enough to have its own gravity well comes close enough to the world to reshape the landscape, but doesn't actually hit it.

[Alerith]

From what I understood about the Echo, it shows the past and you can interact with that past, but no matter what you do, it doesn't actually CHANGE anything in the present.

I remember several times where I've interacted with people and events in an Echo to find out more information, but my character wasn't actually THERE when it happened, so the interactions couldn't have actually happened and is simply the altering of the Echo.

[Mireille]

Or you can just go there if you have the gall. Its a place in Mor Dhona called the Tomb of Xande,

Is it really accessible outside the echo, and if so where is it on the map?

[SwordCoheir]

Using my epic MSPaint skills, I'm going to illustrate how not only is Dalamud not going to connect, but the Crystal Tower is going to rise from the surface in a land that will be released in 2.0 for all to explore!

So you have it all figured out, huh.

Just couldn't just leave things alone, huh.

Rosco, why don't you show Mr. Alerith here what we think of know-it-alls.

:P

(It sounds plausible for sure though.)

Mor Dhona head 6, 15, you'll see a little finger of land heading north by north west. As you curve down it will take you under the landmass of 6, 14 and back around to 7, 15. Please be extraordinarily cautious, Smolenkos occupy the tunnel, they tend to be 80+ and are sight based. The site is a conal affair, use that to your advantage.
