I think one of the things holding speculation back is that these items were activated at a time when our fan-sites weren't running sweeps for new item DATs, and thus, we don't have any pages or pictures to go on staring at unless we want to log in and have a gander. Until now.

Take a look at the close up and let's see what we can figure out.

Oh boy, this is getting good.

I'm not going to retract anything I said before, but I thought you could use another nudge, as it seems my first attempt was more of a sharp thrust in the kidney. I had a second talk with the lore-masters about the artwork, and after several bouts of poking, prodding, and pleading, they finally broke and here's what they told me I could tell you: the smaller moon with the mysterious "appendages" is, in fact, Dalamud. The reason it is not red, as it has been noted as being in several quests, is supposedly because it is partially shadowed. So, to answer the 100,000 gil question--there is nothing wrong with the art, with the matter of "hue" being left open to interpretation.

So for some reason Menphina is painted red on purpose and the "appendages" are also there by design, so ...
