The interesting thing to note here is that, despite looking very Garlean in structure, style and climate, and Yoshi-P specifically pointing out that it's Garlean, there's not a single reused Garlean asset. Even the street lamps are a different design. Which is a weird amount of effort to go to; if it's part of Garlemald, either the city or the nation, why not reuse a building or two? Why rebuild everything from scratch? I don't have an answer for that, but I do think the elephant in the room for answering that is 'maybe it isn't Garlemald'.


And personally, I had Enuo pegged for the Occult Crescent ever since we learned about the Forked Tower; he's damn near the only FFV thing they haven't touched yet. I suspect this is just a trial outside the main story path, and is just part of the Occult Crescent; something similar to Asura in Endwalker, or even Delubrum Reginae.

And no, the symbol behind his head isn't an Ascian thing, honestly doesn't look that much like one anyway, and I'm really hopeful that theory goes nowhere fast. If this fanbase has a worst habit when speculating, it's finding the first answer that lets them say 'Ascians' and then never accepting any other theory until that one is COMPLETELY dead; we saw it with the Arcadion's symbol, we saw it with Endless Sphene's crest, and I really hope we don't see it a third time soon.
