Meteor...could it be...

[Delsus]

Not too sure about that.
Dalamud originally was just a tiny dot right next to the moon, so actually it's not that big.
Considering Hydaelyn has an atmosphere pretty similar to the one our RL earth has, that thing would probably get reduced to way less mass on it's way through the outer layers of the atmosphere and also would probably split up, leading to many meteors of different sizes raining down on Eorzea.
Looking at all the holes and stuff seen in some 2.0 pictures, I don't think the moon raining down on us would have to lead to mass extinction

Oh, and just because it was build by people does not make it less of a mini moon.
My house is not a machine either just because it was built by man.

Size in the sky means nothing, stars are just dots in the sky and they can be over 500x bigger than our sun, perhaps Dalamud was just really far away (and moving really fast)

Also there must be some threat because the Garleans are using it as a weapon (oh hai lets scatter little bits of meteorite around Eorzea for our invasion)

SE has said that Dalamud will change everything, not scatter little bits of metorite around.

Dalamud has been close to Hydaelyn's moon Menphina for hundreds of years so the distance didn't change until recently (1.21) when Dalamud left it's normal course. Menphina though can't be too far away from Hydaelyn, otherwise it wouldn't be affected by the gravity of Hydaelyn and wouldn't be orbiting the planet.
(And really, just how big would Menphina have to be so we could still see her so big in the sky if she was really far away?)

I don't know about you, but from what I know those "little bits of meteorite" are extremely dangerous, leading to massive destruction. Not mass extinction, because it will only affect areas and not EVERYTHING, but it would weaken Eorzea a lot, making it easy for Garlemald to invade what is left of it.

In grid CS with the empire the white empire guy was talking to the person you see in mission 46 he did not want to go with the plan of using the Dalamud because it would also mean the end for the empire city. But the white empire guy said we still going with our plan we need to wipe out the 5 race and the beastman. He also said that the race that use Dalamud seem to have wipe themself out when they used Dalamud the last time but not 100% sure but don't think it's a Meteor that going to hit Eorzea it may shot stuff to eorzea or something else i guess we have to wait.
