Is Atomos trying to help us?

[Punainen]

Only his FFXI incarnation gave us the ability to traverse time so I don't think it will be Atomos that sends us into the future.

True, but FFXIV is still similar to XI is a lot of ways, and considering Atomos WAS used for that once, and even now is clearly a link to another dimension, that it may be the case in XIV as well.

I just think it would be wiser for SE to just keep Atomos gravity based rather than basing his whole story on time travel, another dimension however can be different, something that hasn't been done with him before, but does tie in with his traditional gravity base, in that people used to think black holes were gateways to another dimension.

Right... And if we get sucked into another dimension that happens to be 'beyond time' and then spewed out again after what amounts to 5 years Hydealyn time, then it effectively works like time travel...just forward-only.

Time travel and gravity are tied you know... it it were possible.

I think atomos will relate somehow tot he final battle and it will be a way for the planet to defend himself against dalamud.

I do know that time and gravity are related, I do know the higher the gravity the faster time travels, and it would be possible to travel to the future by orbiting a black hole due to the immense gravitational pull, I am a great fan of Dr Hawking's work.

For that you should look more at Kip Thorne works, as he's the one who really put the serious thought of time travel into actual theory research, if you like Hawking, you'll love Thorne.

Also SE was smart to relate a gravity aeon/summon/gf/primal/etc with time travel and such.

I'll have to have a look into him

I do agree they were very smart, I don't know how much the great physicists work is translated, but it would have been a hard translation, and could be hard for people not into physics to understand even when translated. It really is thinking into it all well, but when it does come to the classic summons I would prefer they keep to the classic ideals of them. For FFXI I think it would have been better if they used a unique gravity based avatar for the time travel, and keep Atomos with G-force 199.
