    I live for minor typos.

    The "flaw" being human ambition. My headcanon for post-Calamity Allag is that they went the way of many a doomed precusor civilization and decided it was their duty to correct the inborn flaws of humanity to prevent another disaster. By, you know, tampering with the source code for the sake of genetically lobotomizing the species. As long as they don't do it for Evil™, it's fine right?

    Except instead of learning humility and peaceful coexistence by being cut off from the works of their ancestors, this new race had perhaps the largest chip on its shoulder the world would ever see, and a whole lot to prove.
    Can't say I subscribe to this, but there are no glaring errors I can think of. Just enough validity for headcanon. The idea that the Garleans are malformed or best-of-intentions-gone-awry chimeras would be a delicious irony though-- they spend so long venerating Allag only for them to be exactly the same as the beast tribes! (Well, Ixali for sure, others likely.) Deformed degenerate failures of science gone awry! Hah!

    It means the Triad (specifically Sephirot) couldn't have been harnessed to augment Xande if they were captured after his resurrection. It may have been used for others later, but the Embiggening of Xande was an Amon original and took place before his Pokemon Journey.
    Ah, see, this is why I asked for clarification. The thought didn't even cross my mind that they embiggened Xande with Sephirot juice, which they couldn't have had because Sephirot had to be captured post-Xande resurrection. (Sometimes I'm a little dumb) I also have to walk back "Amon created Dalamud" because while I personally believe it, I can't find any factual evidence to support it ingame... which is sort of necessary to make such a claim.
