Something I notice on the Void Ark

It's probably not Magitek...

From what information we have, I don't think the Mhachi had any hand in designing it. They just summoned it as a desperation tactic to escape the calamity that ended the War of the Magi, so they probably didn't know much more about it than we do and it's probably not representative of their wartime capabilities.

As for it's level of technological advancement... what I've seen thus far suggests bio-tech more than magitek. There is more likely than not magic involved, but it looks more organic than technological. (Which creeps me right the kupo out.)

They have definitely been successful at making the Void Ark creepy. Some of those bosses in particular.....

The Void Ark being Bio-Tech would make since considering "The Ark" was orrigenally a Bio-Mechanical summon and sentient in its own right, then it would be perfectly logical for it to be Alive.

IX's Ark? I never got the feeling that was bio-tech at all. It was just a magitek Transformer, basically. (One of my favorite summons just because of how over-the-top and awesome it was, but it wasn't bio-tech and now that we've seen the interior of the Void Ark I'm not getting the same vibes.)

Compare IX's Castle Pandemonium, which also has the creepy bio-tech vibe.

After seeing those things I pretty badly want my Hunter's Axe +10 again...

Not sure then, I could of swore it was sentient. (Then Again, Sentient doesn't necessarily mean Biological) But was FF9 really the only game The Ark Appeared in?
