  1. If Solution Nine is an Ancient City of some kind, then the Sundered populace (maybe) wouldn't know that fact and have over the millennia built-up more alongside/with it and lived in it, without full knowledge of its origins.

    That's my guess if it is. Otherwise it's something else that we're not expecting, like at all.

    It's something….

    As for the theory that Azem helped create that, I feel like Azem would have been busy with something else and could have left trusted allies to make that in their stead or something instead. Because who knows, Azem could have learned about something that needed much greater attention in relation to the Final Days and such.

    And well in an interview Yoshi-P did say to keep in mind and remember about the Convocation's/Twelve's names etc, I feel like even that still will tie to something else in DT as well that might not be totally important to MSQ.

  2. the Final days was basically a misunderstanding that spread like wild fire and consumed the Ancients. But Zodiark basically shielded the planet from everything beside from himself. Now with Zodiark gone, the entire universe is a threat.

  3. Wow, what was the context for that amaroutine "across the pond" dialogue? I have no recollection at all 😅

    This all sounds very plausible to me! I love the idea of refugees from another shard with super-advanced technology, just biding their time and hiding on ours; witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations and to whom even the Allagans' technology is unimpressive.

  4. THIS is exactly what I think! Solution 9 reminds me of Zanarkand, the last hope for a dying civilization! I think something we do wakes them from Stasis & they attack anyone they think is a threat to them! The Maiden reminds me of Yuna!

  5. First time hearing the Twelfth theory, and there are many things not mentioned that can support this. Suppose those living in Solution 9 were uneffected by the Rejoining but were still brought over in their protective bubble, but still when one dies where do their souls return to? Makes sense why such a facility would exist within.

  6. "Across the pond" is a fairly common phrase Brits use to refer to the Americas (with the "pond" meaning the Atlantic Ocean).

    Is this not common knowledge?

    With Eorzea being commonly treated culturally like it's the Europe of Etheirys, I'd always assumed that phrase was referring to the New World, or some Ancient Etheirys equivalent.

    Anyways, my bet is still aliens. Some other *world*, as opposed to some other shard, taking refuge on our world.
    We've already been exposed to aliens through our time in Ultima Thule and the EW Manderville quests.

  7. While I disagree on some of the details this is remarkably close to what I'm imagining. The most compelling point towards these being people from another shard is actually not from Dawntrail promo stuff at all, but from 6.X – namely how often we're reminded Y'shtola wants to create intershard travel. I have a strong suspicion we're gearing up for a "reflections saga", with the 10-year arc that Dawntrail is the setup for being dealing with the shards being connected and the conflict that that leads to, and Solution 9 will be the way we open up inter shard travel. The people of Solution 9 could be a great first taste of that conflict, maybe serving as a tense first contact with a shard we'll eventually go to on a diplomatic mission in a future expansion.

    The obvious and boring thing would be to have the inhabitants of the Solution 9 shard act as Garlean Empire 2.0, and have us fighting them as a recurring threat just like the Garleans, maybe hopping from shard to shard as they try to conquer multiple worlds, but I have faith in the writing team to have something less repetitive of the arc we just got done with in mind – maybe after an initial scuffle with Solution 9 eventually has us mend relations, and then the Source has to act as a middle ground and meeting spot for all the different shards, with the Scions helping mediate conflicts between generally well-meaning parties.

    I'm almost certainly very far off, but I find it fun to speculate like this and then be proven wrong. And if my long shot guess miraculously isn't wrong I get to pretend to be a genius!
