Eye Design & Steampunk Accessories

[Magnesium02]

In the recent "A New Beginning" Trailer the 4 members of the Circle of Knowing, Y'shtola, Yda, Papylamo and Thancred bear 2 things: a 'eye' design on their left sleeves/collars and a strange goggle/clock steampunk-style device, woth around the neck, on the sleeve or head. Though I would make a thread specifically for discussion/speculation on what these items mean.

1) The Eye Design




Kinda reminicent of LoZ Gossip stones (or boing-boing rocks) they feature an open eye with brackets to either side and lines coming from the bottom. Kinda hard to see on the Gridanian folk cause of the camera angles. Not sure wether this marking is like their neck tatoos and reserves for the Circle of Knowing only, or if it is the Survivor Mark.


2) The Steampunk Device




Featuring goggle-like lenses and a circular measuring device (could be with a compass or a clock. Yda's seems to be folded and worn on her head. It almost looks like a mask.



3) Legacy Chocobo


Also a little related since this thread is about symbols and marking, the Legacy Chocobo seems to have a design on their beak (not sure whether it is armour or not) but it seems to be directly on their beak.


What do you think of the symbols?
