...then I now feel about 99.9% certain that Anima is the being responsible for the towers; moreso with it potentially being a nod to the fayths of FFX.
Though now I'm wondering how the thing was created even moreso.

I was thinking about this a bit, as well. My darksteel-foil-hat-insane-brain wanted to sprint in the direction of

combining several technological feats we've seen before where the tempered are locked in torpor to maintain a primal's continued manifestation Allagan-style; tower draws in aether, combines with the torpid faith, maintains a spiritual entity, projects tempering through the tower. On the deepest levels of crazy theory: involving left-over Solus clones and/or Anima as the shared dream of a unified Garlemald and/or Dark future.

Also spending time attacking my own position of "I don't understand how we can possibly start anywhere other than 'Fandaniel wants to be Zodiark's BFF' because there have been no flags that he is not tempered as Emet-Selch said."

In the same line as Emet-Selch breathed that absolute faith in Zodiark's is etched into the very souls of his summoners, he talks about how unrelated individuals can be raised to the offices, but that they tend not to be as trustworthy.

That's the real way to attack my starting point, I think: Fandaniel has no first-hand memories of the Final Days not just because he's a sundered risen with an archive of the Originals' memories instead of his own, but because he's not part of the real Fandaniel at all.

I'm still starting on "Why wouldn't Fandaniel be trying to be Zodiark's BFF?" for now. That domino must be toppled for me to let the other paranoias I have flow, lol.
