TALLY HO!!!!!

Agreed, they look more like mammets than anything else, some type of automaton. Though with all the stuff going on with the moon, I do expect the Antitower to be something like the Tower of Bab-Il. I wonder if that means there will be a Giant as a raid/dungeon?

The ones in OP's image look like mammets to me.

Despite Mammets being automata, we do have some decent evidence that they possess self awareness. Look at the Goldsmith's guild, and of course our beloved Magitek armor. It's not beyond the realm of possibilities that those are specially created, more advanced mammets with self awareness, or perhaps they might even be hosting entities of a non-corporeal form?

Maaaaybe?

But yeah I thought Mammet first too. But this expansion is very heavy on the FFIV reference and imagery so, hey, it could be.

If they're mammets referencing the dwarves of FFIV, that's alright. If they actually end up being dwarves, then I'd be disappointed. I'm used to seeing dwarves being short, yet muscular (or stocky?), fellows.

Per the description:

"In all of creation, what greater mystery could there be than the fate of this very star? To sound the deepest depths, to study the aetherial sea itself─for these purposes and more was the Antitower built. Abandoned by her Sharlayan caretakers following the exodus, it has since been overrun by the magical guardians they left behind. Yet were one blessed with Her gift to brave these dangers and descend to the furthest reaches─to hear, feel, and think at the heart of this world─what would they find?"

[Duuude007]

Perhaps they are implying that dwarves and mammet machines are more alike than we think, with the similar likenesses.

What I want this to ACTUALLY mean is... like the tower of babel in the same game, this is a path to the underworld, in a new expansion...

Luca from FFIV is a dwarf and doesn't look like that in the after years at all. I assume dwarves actually look human and them having a black face and yellow, glowing eyes was just their face being obscured.



So i'll assume those things are somewhat like Mammets.

Dinnertime, FFIV The After Years never happened. Its a Myth, just like All The Bravest and FFXIII (no doubt the number was skipped for superstitious reasons).
