Thread: 8.0 speculation

That's the same thing Calyx did with the Key, on an even grander (and messier) scale.

Not to mention the fact Norvrandt occupies the same geographic space as Eorzea on the First, and there are other cities on the Ninth left other than Treno we don't visit.

It's not a forthcoming option based on what we have and know about the protagonists, and even if it were there are serious logistical issues on top of the rejoinings still bringing elemental Calamities to the Source.

The easiest way to know this would never happen is that all the zones of Norvrandt and the NPCs in it have to exist exactly as they are forever into the game’s future. The First is never going anywhere and like Enlong said, it is Eorzea. We’d have Eulmore spliced directly through Limsa Lominsa for one.

Secondly, unless all of the Shards are as vastly depopulated as the First and Ninth, I don’t believe the Source has the resources to support multiple worlds’ worth of people and even then, we just had a whole expansion that showed us how bringing a country into the Source to swallow up land from another country that has no cultural or historical context for its new neighbors is potentially a bad idea.

What if we just put a new will of the star into place? Either a primal (but probably not) or some other hugely powerful creature like Midgardsormr? Probably not happening but an interesting option to think about p.
