    Observation: Post- Impact, does Mor Dhona become a lush jungle?!

    EDIT: ...or lush swampland, based on new evidence come to light.

    I was analyzing the recent videos released as promotions for ARR, and noticed something rather odd:



    This is a screengrab of the Eorzean section of Hydaelyn as portrayed in ARR.

    Looking closer:



    As FFX|V lore implies, Aether is the lifeblood of the planet, much like Lifestream on the world of Gaia. Based on these observations, and images such as this one after the lifestream condensed to halt meteor:



    It is not too presumptious to presume that the heavy concentration of aetherial energy once absent from the landscape of Mor Dhona (see: deaspected crystals), has suddenly been replenished, causing accellerated, lush growth in the region.

    ...Right?

(Sidebar: Could this be why Dalamud was capable of being unsealed?)

    Based on the aftermath of Midgarsormr's apparent suicide to destroy the mothership, there was, as far as we can tell, a sudden release of aetheric energy, which also:



    ..summoned the Primals from slumber.

    And this all happened 15 some years ago.
    Of course, the information yet to be revealed about Atomos could also bring new light to these theories.

    EDIT: Another thing is that the replenished aether could be due to the Twelve ritual failing- because it did not perform the task of recreating Dalamud, the aetheric energy drawn from 13 locations of Eorzea was dispersed directly above Silvertear Falls... And ash is known to be a pretty effective component for fertilizing land, heh.

    What do other people think?
