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

I'm half expecting Solution 9 to be this populated city that was insulated from the final days and didn't have to deal with the endsinger's song of nihilism.

God I hope not. The Final Days had enough plot holes in it already, let's not dig that back up again.

well the honest truth is while its a plot hole, it didnt exist when the final days happened neither did tural so when it happened they were most likely barely affected by it, we will prolly get some passing glances story wise but other than that it will basically never be mentions in the story for them.

Considering the architecture is reminiscent of Allagan and Garlemald, it seems likely that it would be another civilization Emet had his fingers in.

I noticed it seemed to have vestiges of both, too. My speculation is maybe other refugees from Goug.

It has already been covered that the text is also available outside of the book and that the book is not actually limited edition, but an even more important thing to note is that it is highly unlikely to have been important information at the time it was written, simply a throwaway joke to pad out the long list of trivia about each non-story-important tribe.

I was always half-expecting it to turn out to be a subversion if it ever came up, written so we'd interpret it as a primitive description of a modern city but they actually found something more like Stonehenge inhabited by metallic-scaled dragons.

So where do I go in game to find the information?

You mean the Encyclopaedia Eorzea, which I already indicated to you can be purchased through Amazon (there's even a Kindle edition)?

Or are you complaining that there isn't any in-game lore for parts of the game that have yet to be released? That's what buying the expansion and sitting through a few scenes in the MSQ will get you. At a much later date.

to be fair we have had Garlemald around the entire life of the game, a seemingly modern futuristic society that fights with guns plains and tanks versus us with swords and spears.

with that said, it does seem out of place, but its not like we didnt just stumble upon Azys Lla out of no where either, and to be fair again...
the crystal tower is just a giant supercomputer old enough to be viewed as magic by a more primitive race that has no understanding of it till a scion read a book..

Both of that is fair, mostly meant it as a jest from my experience with other ongoing narratives from other works.

Not in game, but right here on the forum from the publicly available character naming conventions and its list of minor trivia about the Xaela tribes. It's not something that people need to be aware of.

It would be nice if the devs could have space for the naming conventions background information to be fully conveyed in game, but they don't seem to rank it as important.

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.

I was thinking that too ! Could be a space elevator. The carousel sees out of place, so it could be a hint in that direction too ?
