What is this place???

Is this a future area? or is this already a place, I don't recognize it?
I know it's not CT.

The castle is in the orange crystal area off east Thanalan.

Here up top.

That doesn't look like East Thanalan. Are you sure that's not Pharos Sirius?

It's somewhere in noscea. The map where it's divided into east and west by a lake and you have to take ferries to get across the sections.

Edit: Nevermind, the question was about the background..

It's Pharos Sirius.
That place is indeed not thanalan, it's upper la noscea.

oh haha yeah I was in upper la nocsea when I took the picture, but in the background near the top you can see the castle in the orange crystal.

I thought that the only place with orange crystals like that was off east thanalan??

Ive never seen orange crystal on umbrea isle?

The orange Crystal is "merged" with the Lighthouse. You can see it quite clearly from West La Noscea.

Yup, it's the Pharos Sirius dungeon, you can see all the dead, undergeared people hanging from the sides don't you?

Is Pharos Sirius really viewable from Upper La Noscea?
I'm having doubts... But considering all the orange crystal stuff inside Pharos Sirus, it may very well be...

Oh alright cool, srry haven't even bothered going into Pharos Sirius yet.

Don't really see the point. I collected all the gear tha drops there already in 2.0

Thanks for the info.

If you have people that are geared above what is required or know what they are doing, it's actually a fun dungeon.
The music, the mobs, the bosses. All fun, but people hate it because they don't play their jobs (especially some healers)

I'd say it's especially tanks that don't play their jobs in Pharos Sirius. Like not stunning/silencing Lunatic Voice even if you ask them to.
By being lazy they're making the healers job much harder, and greatly increases the risk of wiping on Siren.

Its fire aspected crystal, its pharios sirius

I thought it was corrupted crystal?

During the main scenario you collect different aspected crystals, even if its corrupted it can have an element.

I'm fairly certain that the orange crystal appearing throughout the land is the very same corruption indicated by our Aetherytes turning orange back during the end of 1.0, and furthermore is unrelated to the unique, small elemental crystals collected by the protagonist as part of the main story line.

I've not done Pharos Sirius yet, but the video I watched on it suggested crystal corruption to be a recurring theme within the dungeon with no apparent indication of a fire aspect.

Replay the scenario, a guard obtains piece of the crystal from phario sirius and gives it to you. Also you found a piece of wind aspected crystal in burning wall, and all of it was orange.
