So the allegans reached the moon

[Gogoglovitch]

Technically speaking, we don't yet know that the Allagans reached the moon, even if that is a perfectly reasonable conclusion.

We know the Allagans hit the moon. We don't know if any Allagans were on the thing they shot at it.

We also don't know when that ship arrived on the moon. It might have been up there since before the fall of the Empire -- or it could be very recent, maybe launched there from Dalamud when it started falling. It's even entirely possible that it's how we get to the moon in the first place -- we could hastily jury-rig a scavenged ship because we need to get to the moon very fast for some reason, and end up crashing it there as our starting point into Mare Lamentorum. There are plenty of different possibilities. It's clear that it would have been possible for the Allagans to get to the moon -- Dalamud itself would probably be enough evidence of that -- but the history of this particular ship has yet to be told.

Also that ship is totally the Ragnarok from FFVIII, calling it now.

The Ragnarok already exist in game - It is the name of the massive "keys" also called "engines" of the superstructure of Dalamud, you descend into the claw of Bahamut of Turn 5 through The Ragnarok.

But they are indeed space flight related, at least allowed Dalamud to achieve escape velocity and be put into orbit. We will probably have Cid and Nero to retro-engineer a Ragnarok Engine so we can go to the moon - Which makes me think that map feature is exactly how we are gonna get to Mare Lamentorum.

Ragnarok Engine Mark VIII.

Allagans literally used Gods as batteries, I’m sure interstellar travel is child’s play

But is there aether to be drawn in space?
Is aether like dark matter in FFXIV universe?

I'm going to assume that yes, it's possible to draw aether in space, because if it's not then the moon zone is gonna be pretty limp.

devoid of life for sure haha

They'd need to put up some plot armor like how we swam underwater in the Ruby Sea but still no way to fight underwater lol

This gives me the image that the Allagans had a chocobo on that ship much like how the Russians shot a dog into space and the US sent chimps. And that chocobo has been living on the moon ever since...

Isn't drawing aether from space Astrologian's whole MO..?

From other stars/constellations, not from space itself.

OK. Nitpick here.

Allag may have been capable of interplanetary travel. The satellite named Dalamud is proof enough of that.

There is no reason to believe they had the capability of interstellar travel.
