The Last Word — Atomos Identified

[Rane]

The Raven, Gridania’s leading tabloid, alights today, bearing words as dark as its wings. Startling new revelations regarding Atomos, the otherworldly monstrosity attacking aetherye camps, have added a new dimension to the threat that has sent countless Eorzeans fleeing for their lives.

As ever, intrepid reporter Kipih Jakkya is out in the thick of the action, and writes to us regarding her observations.

"...a new dimension to the threat that has sent countless Eorzeans fleeing for their lives."

Nice play on words!

Seriously, though, how many of you think that 2.0 takes place in an alternate dimension, and the appearance of Atomos foreshadows that plot twist? I know I do! Although I could always be terribly, horribly, embarrassingly wrong....

I think Old Man person whose name is too long and complicated to spell out, will see how atomos uses aetheryte energy to manipulate time and copy it to send us to the future.

You may be onto something here Jin, you can see Gramps in the Fate of Eorzea trailer casting some sort of spell so i wouldnt say that isnt a possibility.

[Jinrya-Geki]

We know the old man is going to send us into the future, I just theorize he gets the idea from Atomos. Maybe he already summoned atomos for us, but didn't expect the void beings to come out of it. Maybe he did.

Maybe it was all the Wandeing Minstels fault, or Baelsar's the true master mind behind all of it. We'll never know till it happens at once.

so it's an alternate reality in the future??????

[Colino]

It's an alternate reality in the future but from the past so that the past is present and the present is future but alternately dimensionally.

[Jinrya-Geki]

So back to the future from that past that is present, but the future is changed because we came back from the present day past?

i kinda remembered something about one of the twelve mythos.

Althyk:
"Althyk is the surveyor of change and space and god of time. He commands the element of Earth and is associated with the twelfth moon of the Eorzean calendar. Althyk is the father of Azeyma and Menphina, and elder brother to Nymeia. He is most often depicted as an austere emperor wielding a mythril greataxe. His symbol is the hourglass."

what if Louisix (i dont know how to spell it) came to know how to send us through time from him?
or
what if Atomos is a servant to Althyk

Indeed, in fact from this we can deduce that the future itself is no longer an alternate future but the present past because interdimensionally we cannot speak of past since it did not occur in the current dimension. But that is assuming we are in the current dimension's present since we cannot for certain claim that we have already lived this dimension's past non-interdimensionally as we could possibly already be in this dimension's future unaware that we will be ported into the other dimension's present or possibly even future, which would be the present of the past.

Yeah man. Yoshi-P is dropping some deep shit on us.
