FFXIV lore conspiracy theories, spoilers of course

[MicahZerrshia]

What are some of your fun theories about FFXIV's lore?

Mine:

Tataru is one of the missing ascians that is sympathetic to our cause.

We never left the place we battled the Endsinger and Zenos. Our remote didn't come back and DT and everything after is just our WoL hallucinating while slowly going mad as they quietly starve in a void with Zenos's corpse.

All the reflections are being reabsorbed into the source at an ever increasing speed and one day, after growing aetherially stagnant and suffering a series of minor calamities caused by the ever shrinking aether pool, they will just quietly disappear.

With a large number of unsundered souls now back in the lifestream, Etheirys is going to see an emergence of highly skilled wizards that can manipulate aether in such a way that they will be heralded as gods amongst men.

With Zodiark and Hydi gone, Ultima will reveal herself to be a being of Dynamis. She will use Metion and her sisters, who were created due to Ultima subtly influencing Hermes, as her own Ascians and continue to try to restore the shard and bring her own pieces back together.

Ultima is out there...

Our Star is alive, as are others, and it has a primordial will of its own.

Memory as a magical force in the world is far more powerful, and stranger than we currently know.

Your dialog choice with one of the three brothers at the very start of the game dictates your 'luck' in the game.

Dalamud was an inside job. The Ascians were right.

There's at least one old thread on the Lore forum that took this idea and ran with it (tongue partially in cheek): https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...nal-Headcanons

I remember that thread. I think I put some things on there myself. It was a fun thread iirc

Necron will be an expansion or a x.5 final boss.

Same with Ultima.

There were other sentient civilizations that lived at the same era of the Ascians, and they are out there, observing us.

We are all living in a simulation.

Electrop can do anything if Lighting is channelled through it.
The 9th is saturated whit Lightning.
Theory: Electrop was created by extracting Lightning from something.
Theory: Something Can be, People, The Therion, or something Else...

I like the Infinite Azem theory. That's the theory that the Azem that existed in Ancient times was an Azem who had been fully rejoined and went back in time. That's why they seemed to have the foresight we've had hints about like Azem knowing we were going to land on Themis.
