    [SPOILERS] Revelations from Patch 4.01

    Will be working my way through updating an OP as I go along, but one cutscene into Omega is enough for it to appear that it has greater cosmological ramifications than the entire MSQ, lol.

    TURN 1
    • The Allagans DID NOT create Omega.
    • Omega is from another world.
    • Midgardsormr knows of this world.
    • Omega can weave aether into life.
    • The machina hangs out in the rift to test unfinished products, as creating life weakens it.
    • It creates such life to self-improve by combating the strongest enemies it can find and/or conceive.

    TURN 3
    • This is not limited to real concepts; imaginary ones work just fine.
    • Halicarnassus and the Dimension Castle is a popular folktale rooted in the 4th Astra Era, most likely

    TURN 4
    • Exdeath is likewise an old folktale.
    • Cid is curious why Omega would choose defeated villains rather than victorious ones.
      Moose Posits: To test the WOL? To find the champion of the tales that would signal their coming in defeating them?
    • More to the point, Omega has discerned that "heroes" that achieve impossible victories occur too often to be statistically acceptable anomalies and wishes to test us, holding humanity on Hydaelyn hostage to stress us enough to bring out our potential.

    Ancient Tomestone
    • Written by an anonymous technologist 170 years after Xande's death, confirming aetherochemistry was invented under his reign.
    • Omega first activated 150 years after Xande's death
    • Omega first discovered 50 years after Xande's death (underground for incalculable time).
    • Its AI learned the Allagan tongue in moments
    • It had come from another planet and was covered in damage which was slowly being undone by consumption of aether.
    • Allag aided in its recovery and studied its mechanics.
    • Omega forced the face on its back to mimic the Allagans.
