Anyway, have we gotten any clue on how we're going to get to the moon? I'm sort of hoping Cid just builds us a Saturn 5, complete with a minigame to make the trip without an unplanned lithobreak.

(I had a brief period messing around with KSP last year, if you couldn't tell).
We're going to use the G-Warrior to control the Void Ark, which will then transform into an even bigger robot machina. We then use that to take control of Zodiark, turning it into an even bigger machina.

Didn't they show off a crashed Garlean ship on the moon in the zone?

No, that's a crashed Allagan ship.

Well, a crashed Allagan something. We don't know if they landed on the moon, we just know they hit the moon.

I think it's a chunk of Dalamud that went sideways, rather than down, when Bahamut broke out. If anyone could get there for space travel, though, the Garleans are my odds on shot. We don't really know if the aethersphere? stops at a certain point or not. Eorzea might not be able to fly past there, since all their ships are aether powered.

I'm just sticking with my idea that the only people we've seen on the moon are ascians or the dead, the WoL has ascian robes in the trailer, we learn how to teleport to the moon like an ascian.

It would be very funny if the blessing turns out to be "breathe anywhere" instead of "breathe underwater" and the Kojin just never had a chance or reason to try it anywhere else.

It's a pretty different shape from the shards of Dalamud you can see at Carteneau ingame (Borderland Ruins in Frontline and a bunch of solo duties take place there) and also we know from BCoB that the Allagans had spacecraft, though I can't remember exactly what their capabilities were or if they were even described

Allagan spacecraft was sufficient to put a massive artificial satellite in orbit, so going to the moon was probably easy for them.

I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

I seem to recall them mentioning back at the Endwalker full trailer reveal that the moon just has air.

I think this was specifically in reference to worries that Viera and Hrothgar couldn't wear most spacesuit helmets.

The last I heard them say explicitly was that it was a mystery and we'd find out during Endwalker, though I only watched the announcement part and not the whole weekend so something might have come up during other stuff.

Could be easy, but Elidibus probably shot down every Allagan spacecraft to hide Ascian secrets or something

I think that's the place we'll go to get to the moon.

My guess is it'll be:
- Sharlayan
- Labyrinthos
- Garlemald
- Radz-at-Han
- Thavnair
- Zeal-looking place
- Mare Lamentorum
- Mysterious zone INSIDE the moon

We are told to go to Sharlyan, walk out the door, and immediately get whomped over the head.

We then wake up on the moon and spend the entire intro getting back to the planet. The first dungeon is a re-entry battle.

The boat to Sharlayan gets caught in a giant water spout caused by end beasts and is deposited on the surface of the moon. Luckily, it was carrying an aetheryte, but you have to figure out how to get back down to the planet star to connect it to the network!

I'm pretty sure we saw the Garlean launch pad in that zone trailer. Likely it's going to be Gabranth's doing, and the stuff with the diablo armament was for research into travel between shards as voidsent do. diablos specifically teleports. This is also the easy way to fulfill the whole legion-number theme that's been dangling around.

Not excommunicated, they went rogue of their own accord

By the time Bozja starts there's not really enough of a empire to do poo poo about them breaking off because its already splintered into factions fighting each other
