Any idea on what these are? I've seen 2-3 in this zone alone while helping others do missions/quest.

In b4 gate to GM heaven.

When you have your drawdistance set higher than default, you see all sorts of anomolies.

But, the explanation for the gate is that somewhere in the zone is a gate that is sometimes open, and sometimes closed. The way SE deals with these gates is by physically moving them to a location where they are out of view. Normally they are moved underground, but the sky would be another viable location assuming your player's aren't extending their drawdistance.

This sort of behavior can be seen in many places in the game. As examples, it's used in the random floor generation in Nyzul Isle and in the zones used for MMM.

There's a big box thing in the sky off to the left of the approach to the Throne Room.

I seem to recall getting a viewpoint of the keep from the place the box is, prolly some kinda cut scene thing.

It's probably a floating instance of one of the 3 battlefields in the zone.

ive seen lots of "misplaced" objects around. I saw a moogle floating in Southern Sandy[S] pretty high up in the sky, above the ramp that leads to where Northern Sandy[S] would be. I was able to target it for a split second, then it dissapeared.

And then there is the 2 little red dots in Dynamis-Jeuno if your standing in front of the palace enterance.

Yeah I've seen those dots on every run, but also had friends say they can't see them. As for the OP, I like the gate to GM Heaven answer...but it's probably drawdistance

[Destinye]

Yep, definitely stuff put out of view normal players (e.g console/non windower users) won't be able to see. They toss NPCs up in the sky/underground as well since there isn't a "set place" for them to be called during CSs and whatnot.

[Murdock]

yeah i saw them for the first time a few months ago, and I guess no one else could see it, so I took some pix. They kinda spaced futher apart as you rotated the camera, then would dissapear and then show back up.

I remember right after NA release there were several instances where you could target moogles under ground in the middle of towns and could actually access your mog house. I believe that glitch was fixed as I haven't seen or heard of it in 4 years or so

[Ophannus]

or like how you can randomly target the Vending Box sometimes in Nyzul even when your like on floor 86

[Tagus]

That's the gate you go through when the rapture takes you.

I've saw that one once or twice waaay back in the day; as I understand it, there was also a hack that let you pop Nomad Moogles out briefly, and other people could target and use them. That one got patched pretty fast.
Then there was/is the glitch y'all know about that pops Moogles and unused puppets in the Past cities - think I have a screenie somewhere. The weird thing is, the moogles are untargettable with /ignorepet on, and of course they both depop when clicked.

Those would be the eyes of stone. They're very weird, and yes i've seen them a lot too. When they die, and fade away, more of often than not, only the glowing red eyes would be left behind.

One thing noteworthy are the several gate bits in far east part of Beadeaux [S], look to the southeast-ish after the camp near Scarsute or Nevermolt. you'll see what I'm talking about.

As for weird moogle placement, I've seen them all the time in Lower and Upper Jeuno, and in the water behind teleport NPC in Windurst Waters [S], of course, when I target them, they disappear fast. One of my friends told me that he actualyl managed to access his mog house from one of those glitchy moogle in upper Jeuno.

^ this, but i usually see the mog in lower jeuno outside of teshendo and I never have any issues accessing mog house from them, its a nice surprise when i am at auction house and have to go back to mog then happen to see a moogle. I never thought of it as a glitch I thought they would just randomly appear as I've seen them do since I started playing during NA release.

The only thing is they are always in the exact same place, right there in front of the palace. They do look like stone eyes though...

Maybe they are always there only on Siren! (I'm on same server as the picture) omg conspiracy

[Kirschy]

The red glowy things are visible in many zones. It's at the 0,0,0 location. There's a few threads about it. When you play BRD songs, you'll see a weird spiraling globe.

I always do Nyzul /w fillmode on, because I'm a cheater and I just find it a ton easier. I've noticed after tons of runs, that the Starting Room + Vending Box are always there. Nyzul just builds random maps around it, so you often pass by.

[TacoTaru]

Is there anything specific you're suppose to set in the windower file before you can use fillmode? Anytime I use the console command to set fillmode my game goes into wire frame by the image that was there before I typed the command is stuck on top of whatever is new and everything morphs together and I have to blindly get myself out of it.

That's the actual Throne Room BC area. The door from the actual tower portion of the zone leads to nothing, you just get warped waaaay up in the sky to the actual arena.

I see them every single time in Dyna-Jeuno. Every. Single. Time. Without exception. Always wondered wtf they are. I dunno about statue eyes, they're pretty far apart. There are two lights, usually.

Years ago they had an issue where they'd always be up, for everyone. Confused the shit out of me because I had swapped my Moogle out for a Chocobo, so I just saw a Chocobo in the middle of Jeuno with a huge crowd around it. I think it was also around the time when the moghouse hack was around that would let you change jobs and such, and was fixed almost immediately.

Obviously it wasn't fixed entirely.
