Voidgates and such are, I suspect, a leftover from an earlier concept of the cosmology that they haven't really tried to integrate into the current setup. The stuff with Ascians and the void in ARR just seems off compared to what we have now.
Yeah, we really need an Encylcopedia Eorzea 3 to really expound on all the new stuff we know now.
