Those sewer grates everywhere

For such a desolate land, Eorzea sure has an extensive sewer network. It's always puzzled me how these grates are in such random locations all over the world. Maybe they were planning something like the meeble burrows they made for XI or something. Any guesses what they would have been used for?

Another of Tanaka's mysterious thing...

Like I said before, under Bluefog at least there's a cave system that isn't linked to Cutter's Cry we can't exactly enter and explore, it's actually built up somewhat like a canal style (think toraimarai only with ceruleum and dirt)..so it could honestly just be for decoration, or it could have been entrances to dungeons, we'll never know since he never got a chance to finish the game.

I'm thinking it's a network made by moblins, either as a way to get around or it was Tanaka's intention to introduce a Moblin Maze Mongers type of instance.

Goblin secrets.

Eorzea has been through 6 Astral and Umbral Eras that have seen the rise and fall of many civilizations. Many of the random pieces of civilization you see can likely be attributed to these lost people.

Duskwight Elezen live in caves and caverns developed an acute sense of hearing they also resort to robbery and pillaging to survive, earning them the scorn of their woodland relatives. I'm also guessing they use the sewer to find people so they can rob them blind and take there money lol.

So Dalamud shelters created by the Ancients as a just in case measure. XD

Despite common belief, Miqo'te poop too. Has to be disposed of somewhere. Sewers!

In the past civilizations put a damn moon in orbit, suffice to say there's probably tunnels under everything.

Uldah's Sitting right on top of a Nuclear Weapons Cache....they just don't know it.

Those could also be wells, with grates protecting you from accidentally falling in.

They're not really designed like typical well systems, especially given their distance and location of most of them (usually far away from the city, and Eorzean civilization is to the point a well system would at least be within the cities or close enough to use Chocobo transport for.)

It's because the world of 1.0 was full of crap, so it had a ton of sewers to fit it all.

Or just bad world design!

This thread makes me wonder if we'll see remnants of the 6th Era as we explore ARR

Its where the ninja turtles live.

Hopefully dalamud does enough reorganizing of the planets surface to bring up all that was lost and forgotten.

We don't know and we may never know. Maybe they're just weird decor, like the random wells and campfires.

Someone should make a list of things that we didnt ever get any real information on... that would be a fun brainstorming session

to much to list.

I always assumed that they would be another form of fast travel. We may never know!

They are wells. Quite a few of the settlements have them right at the center.

Hot damn!
I was thinking (and being quite vocal about it due to beer) about this JUST last night!

Glad I'm not the only one who's wondering just what the hell's up with these.

Don't forget the unenterable zones in gridania and the one ant hill near halatali...

They must be the Grates of Hell...
