How high into the air can Estinien jump? Is there a maximum height to a dragoon's jump, or is it simply "as high as needed"?

Were the Elementals of the Twelveswood a creation of the Ancients? Or did they come into being after The Sundering?

Two more Questions
Garlean Royal Family
In the lodestone story A Question of Death, we finally learn the names of the rest of the major players in the Royal family (Lucius (called it!), Hypatia, Carosa(!), and Arrecnina.) What was the name of Solus’ wife? Is there any chance that we will learn more about the royal family, or better yet, get to see pictures of them? Maybe a family tree in the next Encyclopaedia Eorzea? Any chance of seeing the picture in the newspaper clipping Jullus took in the story? I’m still sad we never got to see Nerva properly, even in a flashback or Echo



Ultima the High Seraph
Any chance of learning more about the world or dimension Ultima came from? It was said in the Pandaemonium quests that her influence could be felt through the ages and that Hydaelyn sealed her once. Is that true, or did Venat seal her in the World Unsundered? We know the name of the spell is derrived from her, but is there any connnection between her and Altima of the Convocation?

My question is with characters like Fordola, Hilda, Ryne, Gaia etc will we see more of them in the future or are they're stories over ?.... it seem's like so much can still be explained.

[RubrumYasashi78]

In the cutscenes near the end of Endwalker when Venat sundered Ethyris I was thinking we would get a cutscene on par to The Flames of Truth cinematic from ARR my question is was that ever a idea or was that never thought of and could it be something to think of going forward ?

[Hurlstone]

Thank you for all the work you and the team do to bring this world to life!


My question... what happens to a voidsent's soul when it dies on the Source? Is it Rejoined or does it join the aetherial sea on its own?

[Jonnycbad]

Please give explain the origin of certain artifacts such as Tupsimati, Enigma Codex, and the "horns" that Travanchet in 1.0 was after? These are all vastly powerful artifacts in the world of FFXIV that are given very little explanation. Are they of Ancient design from the unsundered world?

[Jonnycbad]

Aether comes in 6 aspects (earth, fire, wind, water, ice, and lightning) and 2 polarities (light/umbral, dark/astral). Can you touch on what types *Dynamis* can come in? I think these are alluded to in Endwalker MSQ with the colors of the Elpis flower the Warrior of Light carries. Is it similar to "elemental aspect" e.g: Joy (yellow), Anger (red), Sadness (blue), Despair (black), Hope (white)?

[Jonnycbad]

Did the Ancients evolve their capability of Creation Magic over time or was it inherent to their being from the start? In other words was there a point in their long history where they were seemingly ordinary mortals who had to do things manually like Eorzeans?

[Jonnycbad]

If other alien species visited Etheirys, would they notice any spatial or dimensional related to it being a sundered world? It seems like Midgardsormr and Omega didn't notice the inhabitants having fractured souls or 14 reflection worlds around it?
