If the formation of our planet, Hydaelyn, was caused by a god of light and a god of darkness splitting from the sea of aether, resulting in 13 shards, do other planets have similar conflicts in their past, or is Hydaelyn the only instance of this phenomenon occuring?

What type of magic is Clemency/Flash/Holy Spirit? They seem to be homages to the white magic used by Knights from Final Fantasy 1, but within FFXIV these spells do not seem to be White Magic or Conjury. Can you elaborate on how these spells work lore-wise? How do Knights cast these spells, as Paladins/Gladiators from Ul'Dah are quite far-removed from Gridania so using Conjury or White Magic seems odd from a story perspective.

Can you explain the symbols that are generated by Red Mages when using the LB3 "Vermillion Scourge"? They appears to resemble the current job icons for White Mage and Black Mage, but are slightly different. Are these the original/archaic symbols of these schools of magic, which when superimposed on top of each other and rotated form the Red Mage job icon?

When an Ascian possesses a mortal body, living or dead, can they leave it voluntarily, or are they stuck until the body dies (or they are forced out by other means, such as the Blade of Light)?

Why was there a scourge of Meracydia within T5, how did a wyvern from a foreign continent end up within the binding coil?

[8bitbadguy]

Can you tell about how certain Eorzean land creatures can obtain the power of flight?

The WAR 60~70 Job Quest showed us a bunch of skills that our "WARrior of Light" does not have access to!

When Dorgono is able to summon fireballs and warrior beasts & meteors, is this MAGIC or is this the depth of WARRIOR FURY!? Is she special in that she can "Cast" these "spells" or is that she's just tapping into the latent Aether around everyone and it manifests through her Rage in that way??

SIMPLE QUESTION: "Can everyone use magic or is what you can cast dependant on how you were trained?? Is everything Magic!?!"

[Sapphos]

Can we get some confirmation on if the Au Ra race is closer related to voidsent or lizards? This is believe it or not a common debate and it’d be nice to know the answer or at least what the Au Ra themselves believe

The two insane Legati Nael van Darnus and Zenos yae Galvus seemed to actually despise the Empire for some reasons (so they started to act for their own goals). Since they were both from high houses related with the empire's foundation... Did they knew that "certain 4.4 character" was an Ascian?
