I believe his role was to make sure that no shards got tipped into "flood" status and that each Rejoining was done properly. Though I also have to wonder if he was also trying to make sure that none of the Rejoinings completely wiped out life on Eorzea, as it seems like that may have it's own issues. Though, yeah, once he possessed Zenos he kinda went off the deep end. Maybe he's just tired of our shit at this point.
That'd be interesting considering there hasn't been an update, and you'd think people would've figured it out sooner. Can you post the other bosses? I'm curious.
They did, which isn't to say an 8th umbral calamity can't happen in the future with different shards involved. My understanding is that he branched out of the black rose 8th calamity timeline as soon as he traveled to the past in the First.
I've not seen Endgame, but it makes me think of a weak form of quantum multiverse conceptions of time (many branches, but coherent enough that travelers can cross from one existing branch into another without creating a brand new version of another existing branch).
Well that's weird.
I don't recall much of Alexander other than it becoming aware of its own destructive tendencies in the hands of men and it deleting itself from time or something. Which does on first blush sound vaguely similar to what the Exarch and the Crystal Tower did, albeit with less destructive finality.
Pretty sure Alexander timeline worked on a closed loop
Is it possible that time travel works like Graha though it would, but he is still around simply because we STILL havent completely averted the 8th calamity? That would give them a few patches of content of us trying to figure out what else needs to be done, plus it could loop back to simply keeping the WoL alive and as long as Zenos is still running around, the bad time line is still in existence.
