FLASH back to 2010 or 2011, or 2012, whenever it was we first saw Dalamud. There you are looking it at. There I am, like the armageddon preaching bum, saying the star was actually Vana'Diel. As it turns out, I was wrong. So Dalamud comes along and crashes and thats it, what am I going to do with my time now.
FLASH to present. I reactivate FFXI, and I see a large out of place Atomos floating in the zones. It is blurry because it isn't from this dimension or something, and I can only assume it is from an alternate reality. The Atomos is pretty much a cut and paste from 14. (or vice versa). Even the graphics look better for this one object in Vana'Diel.
So what if, when FFXI finally runs its course, BOOM the two realities collide, and it becomes one ultra-game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mirite?
This is not a fill in the blank, you have to highlight the spoilers to reveal the truths they hide.
