Despite all the lore presented to us in-game and the two books, it still feels like there are some lore gaps, weird retcons, and other things that aren’t quite explained fully. People make up their own ideas of things outside the known lore either just for fun, to explain something, or to fill in a gap for RP. Sometimes that even makes it to canon (like the powers that be saying “sure, why not” to au ra kissing by rubbing horns). It doesn’t have to be something earth shattering but I was wondering if other people have little ideas of stuff that goes on in this world that they wanted to share.
One of my own crazier examples goes back to 1.0 with Good King Moogle Mog. I thought I heard the music changing as you offed the moogles one by one and their parts of the song went silent. And I remembered that as we got to the subsequent primals in ARR and beyond that had their own modern-sounding tracks with lyrics.
I came up with a dumb non-canon idea on my own that the music we hear in a primal fight is heard by our character. Most of the songs already have lyrics that are either sung by the primal or their followers (notable exceptions for Ifrit and Garuda who were done by the old team and Bismarck who is just a big dumb whale). So whenever we’re in a fight, we’re being sung at by the primal or their followers or our echo sounds and we’re hearing the thoughts of who we’re fighting like in Shiva’s case. The music accompanying the lyrics is either how the echo interprets the input or just the pure power of the primal warping reality combined with echo stuff.
Does anyone else have thoughts like these or do I just think too much?
