Thread: Discussion about the new 5.1 dungeon: The Grand Cosmos

man this place looks great!
how much you wanna bet those knight statues come alive and attack you

Well, if it *is* Eulmore, I'd put quite a lot of gil on Ran'jit being down there; and a bit more on the Jongleur twins as well.

I thought it was Ishgard myself, what with the restoration and all. But that wouldn't make sense with the Trust able to go, at least unless something huge happens first.

It could be another Imperial Palace on the Source.

Was reading a bit more about it and saw Meoni's video on the overiew of 5.1 and he brought up another possible suggestion.

He was suggesting this could be an area in Amaurot that could tie in to Emet-Selch's history since Yoshi and Oda discussed going more into that for the upcoming patches. I wasn't sure if it was going to be the case considering our screenshots have us with Chai's and it seems more like a part of Eulmore but who knows.

I saw Meoni's video too but I don't agree with it. Amaurot is modeled after the United States in the art deco era of the 20's. The Grand Cosmos looks nothing like that. The suits of armor and Greek/Roman columns in the screenshot are incongruous with the Roaring 20's.

Keep in mind that almost all the locations, many of the major plot themes (even the Lightwardens in MSQ) we see in Amaurot are based off Greek names and concepts. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...omages_in_the/

I wouldn't rule out that concept that Amaurot which is the biggest source of the Greek references wouldn't have any in them even if the outer decor is styled in 1920's American.

You have a point, but the color scheme *does* scream Eulmore.

Also, the meol packing plant idea... I mean people "ascended" when turned into sin eaters and where do you ascend but into the sky, aka the "cosmos"?

You know considering how FFXIV has a habit of reusing the same models for certain bosses, I am honestly inclined to say that if the Meol Plant is an idea that the boss will be a Meol variant of the Pudding enemy they added in the game from XIII-2. Since dungeons like Saint Moc HM reused the normal pudding enemy as the boss model for Tokka and The Mudman.

Would make a good amount of sense if the area is located in Eulmore and it does have the light pouring through the windows.

Speaking of was anyone able to find any other of the screenshots? I know they're of the floor and I think they were shown in the PLL but I can't find them anywhere in cropped form.
