If other planets exist...how does the creation story of FFXIV fit in. It seemed like the universe was an aetheric sea until Hydalyn split Zodiark from it because he was growing power hungry, thus creating a physical and aetheric plane and she coalesced into a planet and he the moon. Now this is all well and good because this is a myth from the perspective of mankind...but what about other planets with other alien life. Are they too also with their own lifestreams? With their own mothercrystals with personas? Are Ascians bound only to the conflict of Zodiark/Hydalyn or do they have a universal presence? Is Zodiark and Hydalyn only gods of this small section of space or are they omnipotent? What of other "gods" on other worlds? By introducing Middy/Omega as extraterrestrials, it begs so many questions.
