(Still need to get to final coil and see the legendary T11 and T12 CSs that SE refuses to allow on Youtube) So this only adds fuel to the theory that The Twelve and The Ascians COULD be one and the same.

As for the black crystal at the end of 2.0's story I wasn't actually referring to that one as much as the Giant Black Aetherite in The Crysalis. I think that may be more inline with Zodiark's sealed form where as the darkened planet crystal could be symbolic of Zodiark's dark energy over taking Hydalyn's light energy.
