Will Dynamis Save Us From the Solstice? We are all Entelechies now.

And we are all entelechies (for) now. Remembering and forgetting are recurrent themes in the story of FFXIV but rarely are we given a full picture of how memories and souls, aether and dynamis are conceptualized in the world. Throughout the MSQ, we have been shown how the concepts of the body, soul, and memories have been honoured, manipulated, extracted, transferred, and profaned in a myriad of ways be in the Source or its Reflections. We know that the Ancients could bring concepts in their mind to life with the power of Creation Magicks but could not imbue their creations with a soul. This was true for Omega as well. So, how did Alpha gain a soul? How are memories related to souls? How is all of this linked to the starshower that is first shown in 1.0, and that Elidibus conjures twice in Shadowbringers? And where would Dynamis, the other form of energy in contrast to Aether, fit in all of this? And can Dynamis be a possible key plot device in stopping the Solstice? This is my first more theoretical lore video and it was a lot harder to make! If I'm wrong then the last part of the video would have aged like stale beer hehe!
