Future Events

[Duuude007]

I have a feeling that dragon is either: Bahamut, or Shinryu. (The latter seems more likely)
Based on the opening scene, the dragon realeased the Primals and probably many other beings.
And, if this Shinryu is anything like the dissidia one, my other theory is that once all the Primals' are defeated, the will return to Shinryu.
After the satellite, Dalamond, crashes and lands on the Black Shroud, Shinryu will work his magic and resurrect all the citizens into a new life, in 2.0. This won't just be a resurrection though, our bodies will change and morph into another form. (This could be the reasoning behind why our characters changed.)

Huh, I was thinking more in the direction of post apocalypse via Kefka.
