AntiTower Speculation

[Kaiser-Ace]

I think it's a bit early in the main storyline for that. I can't imagine having a pretty big event like "The Triad is awakening" and them showing us what Middy was hiding in the same patch. SE likes to keep their big events for different patches.

When they mentioned that being revealed several live letters ago they seemed to be implying that The Seal and The Twelve would be the 3.0 to 4.0 carry over like the Ul'dah incident was for 2.0-3.0

This is what I'm expecting. It would also be a nice 'full-circle' moment to return to Silvertear yet again at the opening of the next story arc.

I think it's going to have something to do with the Antithesis. There's a transportation node just south of there near the Pappus Tree that says something to the effect of "Access denied, only senior military or research personnel may enter the facility."

If I remember correctly, during the main scenario it was actually mentioned that transporter is meant to provide access to the Flagship, but because of the security lock it forced the player to find another way there (thus leading to the meeting with Tiamat and then the player riding Middy directly there - one may think why we didn't just ride a mount there in the first place and save us all that bother, but the final aether current was gained at that point ). So yeah, I don't see it being used for anything other than just flavour text for the setting.

My speculation is that it's this place



SE's been dangling this carrot on a stick in front of us since 3.0 launched and we still don't know what it is. It has spiral staircases, wood-plank bridges, roots connecting all the islands that are flat and look like they can be traversed...it has way too much detail put into it to just be "nothing."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that actually Neverreap? It would make sense naturally, it fits the design for one. So yeah, I'm pretty sure that is just Neverreap.

Neverreap is visible floating off the north edge of the Sea of Clouds map, actually. The one off the south edge a completely different unexplored Vanu area.

It kinda reminds me of Azys Lla, but smaller and more natural-looking

I see a lot of posts saying Anti-tower meaning a tower that goes down instead of up, what about it being more like a device that destroys towers? The Anti-Tower could be more like a weapon that is planned to be used on Ishgard.

Sorry if this was already stated, I only read a couple of pages.

I hope its not, we've already had a Vanu Vanu/Sea of Clouds dungeon.

Nope, Neverreap is way out north of the Sea of Clouds.

that is...way smaller than the inside, Who brought to TARDIS to Albathia's Spine?

They have mentioned on a few occasions that they were interested in eventually implementing Eureka- A subterranean treasure trove/town/necropolis that existed in the basement of the crystal tower people may remember from FF3jp.

If you go back to the cutscenes of CT, Nero is there for a singular reason, to locate a specific signature of allagan origins. Using his special compass.

At the end of WoD, he ultimately gives up on such a folly of a quest, as he never got the compass to "ping" what he was looking for. He discards it off the ledge into the abyss surrounding CT.

...and as the screen fades black, you as the observer of the cutscene can barely make out a steady pinging noise... The compass was finally detecting its target nearby, deep below CT.

Also, a fanmade artwork was made as a suggestion, that the tower was fully crystal shaped, light side above ground, dark below. They certainly could have taken that to heart in their plans.

I couldn't find the original image but I tossed this example together in paint. Sorry it looks rushed, but you get the gist.



Not tough to figure out what to expect, lol.
