What are your crazy theories after Endwalker

[RyuDragnier]

However, considering the whole "we know so little about the world" thing they may push in Season 2, I won't be surprised if we may discover the world never needed Hydaelyn nor Midgar's protection.

Unlikely, I expect for us to find out there was something else waiting in the wings that would have reared its ugly head and possibly destroyed the world even if Meteion and the Final Days never occurred.

That is not much of a reveal nor surprise since part of the story for Endwalker is that even if Meteion never did what she did, something else would have bring about a world ending event that a group of Heroes would have gone on to stop anyways.

It is how many stories goes in the end even if one story end with a happy one, another event maybe far in the future would have created another world ending event that a new group of Heroes must stop.

In fact, it will also be no suprise if there was another Hero or group of heroes with a different title in the unknown regions that stopped a world event of equal or greater while the entire Season 1 events were happening. Thus dealing with their own antagonists and maybe some unknown evil god as well.

One of the common things about storytelling is that while we focus alot on one Hero or group of protagonist story in the world (for our point of view in this FF14 world is the WoL and Scions), there is often another we don't know about that may have equal or greater consequence if this unknown hero or group failed their mission. We won't care much about this unknown Hero or group but that is often the effect of having not viewed events of their journey because followers of a story are more attached to the characters they know more about than the characters they don't know.
