Sharlayan is a city west of Eorzea, it's where the Circle of Knowing are from.

On the map on this page, it's the fifth city-state (North of Limsa) that's not Limsa, Ul'dah, Gridania or Ishgard.

You post like a well informed man, with nothing held back, admirable but mistaken

Nice gif going to ninja it for later use.

Meaning: we the legacy players do not get them, and they are specifically used by the NPC's? Just curious.

Omg... I am surfing these forums at work.. and if the thread about Mi'qote butts wasn't distrubing enough, this made me burst out a massive laughter in a normally very quiet office...

I'd say an expansion pack would unlock these items for us someday ;) We will all be wearing steampunk stuff. Just like we started wearing different styles when ToAU came out.

I suppose a line of steampunk armor/clothing/weapons would be nifty. Still i wonder are the accessories in the opening video NPC's only? My guess would be they are used to see the door to the grand labyrinth or crystal tower.. which is only visible at a given time, and only when looking through those googlies..

I was thinking about the eye marking... It is very similar in style to the symbols of the 12.. perhaps this is a 13th god, Maybe one that can actually contain bahamut? since the 12 failed?

Some ideas...

Pretty sure the eye design and goggles will tie in with the mystery surrounding Louisoix and Bahamut. After all, Louisoix's full [Japanese and English] name is 'Louisoix Leveilleur', and French word 'veilleur' translates into 'watchman'. As someone said before, the remaining members of the Circle could either be looking for Louisoix or taking over his duty as watchmen of Eorzea.

Illuminati. I was saying all along that the New World Order is under way.

It's not the Twelve that failed, technically, look at previous Final Fantasy games, a summon gets stronger with it's master. Technically Louisiox summoned the Twelve, so it was him that wasn't strong enough to seal Bahamut, because he wasn't strong enough their power was weakened, if I had known I would have PL'd him...

I didn't think Louisiox summoned all of them, I thought it was a combination of: Y'shtola, Yda, Papalymo, and Thancred with Louisiox that were all summoning the 12.

but LOL on the pl comment!

Theatricality and deception are powerful agents to the uninitiated... but

we

are

initiated

The device has a clock-like meter and seems to have built in goggles so my best guess is a device that sees through time.

My guess is that they're the same Aether measurement devices from the MNK quest line. They're following the ley lines to make sure Bahamut doesn't start sucking them up and ruin everything.

I think this is only true in some later FF games

Since I first saw the eye design, it's been driving me nuts where I recognize it from. It's very similar to the "A" letter design from the Yevon language in FFX - seen every time you open the map.

Yeah, I remember seeing that design all over the place and figured it was Yevon's logo or something, but I've never seen that map before. I got the Australian version of FFX, maybe we missed out on some little things :(

That map is actually the zoomed out travel/airship map, actually. I'm fairly sure you have it in your game.

One God to rule them all, One God to find them,
One God to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

It's SE, you can't just focus on the (stabbed?) Eye. Every little detail is important. Those things left and right to the eye look like dolphins or lamia to me. Although it's probably not that.

It also looks like there's a heart above the eye too.

Kingdom Hearts confirmed.

Yeah, here's the eye symbol up close:

And it was added to all four Sharlayan NPCs after the Dalamud events:
