why are monsters invading the cities?

[Loony_BoB]

My big hope in all of this is that we get attacked by an army of inanimate objects, like barrels or something. A legion of barrels slowly approach out of the horizon and storm Ul'dah, destroying all in their wake with high powered attacks like "Being A Barrel"

lol, would love to see mime / chest-trap type enemies.

On reply to previous posts;

Maybe Atomos and Dalamud is connected somehow, Atomos being able to produce / Copy a being of Dalamud's essence.

or maybe this is just like FFVII where Atomos is trying to drain all Aether energy because he sensed "Dalamud" awakening which triggered the end of an era, therefore Atomos trying to kill and absorb everything then dissapears to the void for awhile with everyone's aether with him, after the cataclysm he would then return and re-spread the Aether all around Eorzea ?

It all comes down to some questions which we do not know the answer to;

What is Dalamud ? What were the Allagan Empire ? What is the purpose of Atomos ? Who are the Twelve? and What is the 7th Umbral Era ? (the 6th was said to be the last) well, there might be more, but I might've forgot.

Then again, our world is small, this is only Eorzea, not even Hydaelyn, not even the 3-4 other continents, not even all the other islands around the planet and that's just the "known" area 0.0 What about the known unknowns and unknown unknowns, etc

This patch has ruined all the fun of this event. "Powerful but killable" was fun to deal with. "Ten minutes in and we've removed 5% of its health" is not. I think this vanguard we were killing just got bored and committed suicide because all 100 of us were killing it too slow. It just died at 90% HP. Square, you seem to have seriously overestimated the number of people who have stuck around. 4 level 90+ centuirons and a nael are not funny.

If you finished the final mission Living on a prayer we are suppose to fight off the Garleen's til that old elzen man finishes his
spell casting to send us to future.

It's all still Canon, Atomos is summoning all these creatures through time/space.

Just because he is dead in our world, doesn't mean he is dead in others. Atomos simply goes to a time he was still alive and copy and pastes him back to life. It explains all the monsters and Naels that attack the city.

Atomos is the devourer of realities. He doesn't much care about sending things from one world to another, though his coming seems to open rifts between realities which some creatures are capable of punching through. Atomos is probably just here for a meal.

That's my take on it, anyways.

When Nael died he was sort of absorbed by Dalamud, maybe now that Dalamud is so close Atomos can summon him from Dalamud? Just a shot in the dark.
