Then there is sheer power and MP required for the spell to rip all the adventurers from time itself.

Another thing that puzzles me: When the twelve start to respond to the prayers and their "keys" begin to appear, it looks like Louisoix casts a big glowing "key" into the sky himself.

Who exactly is Louisoix? Can it be that he is a manifestation of Thaliak?

Was already stated that Loiusiox was just channeling the twelve's power.

"Louisoix quickly conjures a barrier to protect what remains of the Eorzean Alliance, and then begins the arcane rite that will channel the power of the Twelve and focus it into rebinding Bahamut. The sheer force of the primal, however, is too strong for even the Archon, and his efforts fail."

"Realizing the end is nigh, Louisoix summons the last of his strength to call upon Althyk, the Keeper, god of space and time, to send those surviving heroes into an aetherial rift, where they are to remain untouched by the passing of the seasons until it is once again safe to emerge...and continue their struggle to forge Eorzea's future."
