And random WotG things:
Do we actually know who Aquila and Haudraule are in our Vana'diel?
Robel-Akbel randomly turning up as a Spitewarden with no explanation or lines. Then he's never seen again after that point. I assume it is explained in the Windy questline but if so, that's pretty awful storytelling considering the majority of people are going to go down Bastok/Sandy routes.
If our Vana'diel is supposed to be the fake one because Altana was sad about what happened in the real future. Then why do all these other nigh apocalyptic events after the crystal war happen in the 'happy future' that's a dream/not real? Because presumably they don't happen in the you're fucked future. You'd think we wouldn't dream up all this horrible stuff happening! Or is what Cait Sith says true and both futures are real? (Despite her earlier admitting the opposite)
And does WotG effectively make dynamis some sort of inception crap?
