Solution 9 - Unfounded Speculation!

[Cleretic]

FFXIV's official Instagram is posting sections of Solution Nine artwork piece by piece and someone on Reddit pasted them together to show the picture we have so far.

Anything anyone can glean from this? I notice a bunch of viera but I'm not sure if that means anything.

Definitely unclear how much any of this means, but I can see every playable race except miqo'te, roegadyn and hrothgar here; the viera are obvious, you can make out the horns of both xaela and raen, the person below the southmost tree is too small to be anything but a lalafel, and there's some exaggeratedly pointy ears that definitely read as how you'd draw 'this is clearly an elezen' from a distance.

So, sadly a net cast too wide to read much into, but it might be worth noting that au ra and elezen weren't visible in Tulliyolal, while elezen were.

I spotted at least one and maybe three or four total miqo'te in the picture, you can see their ears and the one that's turned around has their tail clipping through their cloak.

A previous Solution Nine artwork also showed what seemed to be a miqo'te's eyes in a holographic advertisement.
