Op...I have no clue what this is...I havn't yet the time to get into the lore of the game...but it looks like one huge phallus...(Yes I used phallus!) Sorry XD I just couldn't help pointing that out...

Very interesting discussion. I'm excited that something is happening, but perhaps 1.22 will shed some more light on the subject.

Also, I believe I read that it's not even confirmed if Dalmund is a real moon, and that perhaps it is man made. If that is true, that could add a whole new twist to what is going to happen come 1.23/2.0.

FF tradition usually entails using themes from previous games, some small things like the reoccuring Cid, Wedge and Biggs, to the larger things the game is completly based round like jobs, having wierd kids in the party and the Job systems.

Even the stories are heavily based round save the moon or save the crystals (notice anything similar in FFXIV?)

Thats why there are things that can be compared to old FF games.

Yea... I love that about the FF series

Dalamud is too close to us, it is past the "point of no return" and will crash unless something intervines (possible aether-attraction and reacts blowing it up)

Agreed unless it is man made and features some type of propulsion system
Also, people mistakenly fear the "Gravity field" of the moon when the impending Impact and even the magnetic field" pose a much more serious threat

time gap is overthinking.

yoshi npc spoke about a different world much like ours or something like that.

so dimensional merge or voidgate being opened.

How is sending Dalamud into the past and altering eorzea's history timeline any different from a "dimensional merge"? (Other than the former makes far more sense than the latter at this point.)

I do think there will be some surprises in store, but there is no logical way to explain the construction of new cities, bases, etc.. by the empire, beastmen and eorzean races within a blackout period of a couple months.

I find it hard to believe that the devs would set up this elaborate plan including all the quests leading up to this event and not have an explanation for the existence of well-established cities, dungeons, ruins, trains, bases, etc.. as part of it.

Read the translated versions of the maps from the concept art PDFs. Even the existence of great forests and habitats is proof that the world of 2.0 is one that has a history that has had many, many years to develop. This was done deliberately, and will have a plausible explanation when all is said and done.

How about the twelve wish to protect thier children, so form some type of protection of us, however for it to work people who have access to the echo must use those powers at once and form a shield, this shield protects the citizans but perminamtly scars Eorzea, and everyone involved with the shield becomes comatose for 10 years, and we awaken to the new Eorzea.

The twelve also commune with us via the echo, so only the path of the twelve know of this until it happens.

Linking possible current things into what could be possible

The resulting savior of mankind makes people not think we are monsters after it because we saved them all, (common theme of people with unexplained powers being feared because of something they don't understand until they are saved)

Also, recently I got around to being able to run the game with higher graphics. I decided to actually look close as I could to the moon.

Does anyone else notice the red spikes protruding from it? >.>
