So why does Faust Z have a spoon in the middle of his back?

Hopefully Koji-Fox remembers my question from Fanfest! Just wondering why Faust Z has a spoon in the middle of his back. Is it for cheese? Inquiring gobbie-minds want to know! :D

I am a little ashamed to admit almost every week when I revisit ole Neo Faust Z I have this thought.

And why he doesn't just keep his jetpack??

So wait... Because Alexander's been summoned by goblins so he incorporates some goblin's gimmick into his own system?

While that was 90% joke and 9% American Pie reference, one might argue ... sure! (But no, not really.)

The Encyclopædia Eorzea refers to the present-day, Illuminati-summoned Alexander as "the primal manifestation of the ideals of Quickthinx Allthoughts". It is an Auri technologist's self-sustaining, mobile bastion of reason and logic warped by one goblin's vision of a perfect world. It just happened to be that primal summoning was the most efficient way of making this ideal a reality. The primal miiight have certain quirks due to this. (Moar like Quirkthinx Warpedthoughts.) But no.

I think the "spoon" might be a lever allowing various machinery to be attached and removed from the panzer doll's back.
It looks like a way to eject the steam engine, crown thing, and/or jetpack - allowing them to be changed as needed.

I just read the question, heard Steve Stifler reply in my my head, imagined Quickthinx yelling it while making obscene gestures (group activity: imagine your own here), and my id posted before I thought better of it, lol.

Spoon for cheesemaking?


but seriously i think its leftover from the animation rig. Faust shares its rig with the sahagin, who have a back fin. Perhaps they added the spoon to make it easier to just apply the rig without any changes?

idk

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
