Did solution 9 reveal like a jump the shark moment yesterday?

My first thought on seeing Solution Nine was "oh, New Tokyo".

My second thought was "oh, that brings back memories from the No.6 manga".

As for "it's the Ascians!" .. Our world was, indeed, split. Why would anyone assume that the Ancients' script was totally eliminated after the split?

My first thought was that, in some of the armor/robes they can wear, our characters are going to look like time-travellers when they're on that map!

It's a little shocking! Personally I would prefer that they didn't use it during the fanfest as a kind of "shock" moment and better explained its place in the story and world or just left it out entirely until they can give us that context.

I don't think it's a jump the shark moment though, and truthfully there is a lot of precedent for this kind of sci-fi elements within the Final Fantasy series.

I'm waiting to see how they can make it work in the story. I think it's great that they are continuing to build a universe that can contain this kind of variety of settings.

Would be hilarious if they pulled a Star Ocean on us. In a oh lord why sort of funny, not suggesting to do that lol.

Well considering we already had 1920's Art Deco New York yet everyone wore black robes and masks.... I think medieval/fantasy armour or wizard robes in a cyberpunk city would be right at home (especially in a theme bar or rave venue specializing to.. exotic tastes ). :P

And besides, it worked in Shadowrun.

I really liked the area a lot. Sure its a lot different from normal areas, but players have said XIV has become stale and predictacle. So when they are presented by something that is totally unpredicatable, they dont seem to like it either xD Cant win with some crowds i guess hehe

Looking forward to this Neptunian Looking City. I would not doubt the few Cosplayers will increase in number.

We also have plenty of neon-encrusted magitek gear that would fit right in, so honestly, we can go anywhen with the right glam.

If anything, it was the most welcome surprise SE has ever given since the first fanfest for Dawntrail. I was not interested in the boring tropical beach episode vibes of Dawntrail at all, until they showed Solution 9.

I am getting really strong Battle Angle Alita vibes for Plan 9 as the city on the top of the pillar is very similar to Zalem.
