Ending, plot discussion. Warning: Spoilers

[Jacien]

I have a feeling the Garlean Empire knew about Bahamut and had a method ready to contain him.

According to Cid, the Meteor project is a complex scheme employing arcane magicks and lost Allagan technology to summon the lesser moon Dalamud-a giant machine, if his claims are to be believed-down to Eorzea in an attempt to annihilate all of the beast tribes in one fell swoop. Seemingly in conjunction with the project, Legati Gaius van Baelsar and Nael van Darnus are currently searching for relics known as "tomestones" said to contain records of the past, despite the fact that Ironworks studies have shown these items to be worthless...

Wasn't there a tomestone or something in the Limsa quest that was used to contain Leviathan?

leviathan was chained/bound to an island called Seal Rock by Llymlaen -The navigator.

there was also the "key" it was some type of horn, same one used in the uldah story by the looks of it. however it doesn't appear to be related to Leviathan.

there are also severe timeline issues in Limsa's quests, which make alot of stuff hard to follow

for instance during the very beginning when your on the boat you meet stahlman fighting the jellyfish, so either the whole boat ride was a flashback or there are timeline issues.

I'm curious as to how Ishgard will react to this. They've been at war with sentient dragons for such a long time, will they see Bahamut as the King of Wyrms? Will all their efforts be based on felling him?

I'm also interested to see if the Ascian will be brought up again in 2.0.

Watching the CS you can see Gwyrr-Ann from Living On A Prayer. You can see debris flying off to the 'west' so I'll assume Ishgard will be hit and this will force them to open their gates. With Bahamut and Nidhogg about to rampage we can expect the Ishgardians to be very active in 2.0.

I'm sure the Ascians will show up sometime. We also should be expecting the Paragons to show up (people/person who taught the Beastmen how to summon the Primals). Urianger could also be a Paragon as he has knowledge in summoning like when he attacked us in the GC quests. More Archons should be set to appear. Dravnians should be showing up.

I'm excited :}

I've got a really good feeling the ishgardians are protected by Alexander.

[Deakka]

This would make sense as we've seen Alexander diametrically opposed to Bahamut in the past (ff9). It explains the dragon hunting easily, and Alexander could easily BE Ishgard.

Odin and Atomos bring up a few different questions though. From what we know, Odin will be a wandering primal gaining power not necessarily through the Aether, but rather through repeated defeats. His relationship to the story will be interesting.

Atomos, well I have a tin foil hat opinion on that. Atomos is frequently associated with space and time distortion (and gravity from the older ff games, although that role has fallen to Diabolos recently). I believe that it was not only the defeat of the primals but the appearance and actions of Atomos that prevented the re-sealing from succeeding. From my vague recollections of FFXI WoTG, atomos was used as a time travel device to prevent a chain of events from occuring. Now, could Atomos be sentient, and possibly wish to break the cycle of Astral/Umbral eras? In fact, upon further thinking he himself could be responsible for the cycle in the first place (had he not acted, the lands aether would have been richer, possibly leading the re-sealing to have been successful).

Yoshi-P certainly guided the story around many interesting topics. We have the fate of the GC companies, the march of Garlemald, the beastmen, the primals, Bahamut, and Atomos to worry about. They have enough interesting storyline options to design high level content around for at least an expansion or two.

Summary:
Words

I don't remember any of this during the ending. All I saw was a black screen that said 'Now loading...'

[NinjaPanda]

Has anyone notice that Baha & Lou seem to have known each other? Like Baha was going around wiping everything, came back to Lou and they had a "Moment" were they looked at each other as to say, so we meet again!! Then Lou calls the 11 and summons his strength to make 12 to seal Baha again.

I think this fight has been going on for some time.

I'm curious on the lifespan of the Elezen.

Was Louis there when they first sealed Bahamut? Is this why the prison was structured the same?
