A brief, somewhat accurate version of how I remember the events leading into EW.

My first impression of the name of the world was actually "Eorzea". Nope. But thinking back on it, it makes way more sense when characters in ARR like Gaius ask, "Do you believe in Eorzea?"

Then I seem to remember that the funny voice talking to me, and summoning me to some weird place when I collect a crystal of light is named "Hydaelyn".

At this point, I am under the impression that Hydaelyn is the Mothercrystal, and the will of the Star. They are of the same name.

Game makes it painfully clear that a star is not a sun. A sun is a sun. A star is a planet, and the word "planet" does not really exist except in a similar concept that "Earth" is used. Kind of like how cookies in America are called biscuits in the UK and Australia, and what America calls biscuits, they call scones. But hey, not confusing, at all.

Planet Star name = Hydaelyn

Emet drops the bomb. Hydaelyn and Zodiark are primals. Mind blown. When the smoke clears, I realized that I have no idea what the name of the Star actually is. I guess it remains Hydaelyn for the time being.

Enter EW. Star's name is Etheirys. Cool. Better than Bob.
