What I'm kinda interested to know, though, is what the original story for 1.0 was gonna be? From what I've read in interviews, Dalamud was supposed to be something else, and it was Yoshi-P's idea to make it crash into the planet/blow up and unleash Bahamut.

Whatever we find out those markings mean, there's a good chance they were originally meant to mean something else.

I know it doesn't matter at this point, but it still makes me curious.
I had actually heard the opposite. That Very early on, when they decided a remake was in order (i think 2 months after Yoshi-P took over) he asked if that red moon was anything important or can he destroy it and was told yes. Also at that point in 1.0's life little to no story or major plot elements had even been implemented aside form the war between Ishguard and the Garleans.

So far as I know he had eluded to the story of the crystals connection to the primals and the twelve, as well as the Garlean forces. He will be having some recent history tidbits for us 1.0 survivors to go "Hey! I was there!" but he will be going with a slightly revised version of the original story that was intended for the game. With a bit of his own twist and flare for good measure.
