The New Dandelion Art: Analysis

axlorg89:

Ah yes the Dandelions new images. Though Nomura left a message about their positions so I’ve taken upon myself to figure it out, please bare with me.

1. Lauriam. First of the way he is positioned is right behind Ephemer and co. This could be since he is working behind the scenes, either as the traitor or as the one who watches over the Dandelion. This makes sense since he is holding the Dandelion, which are the keyblade wielder who survived/escaped the war. Could he be holding the Book of Prophecies? Probably. But along this theory, he is holding us, our lives, in his hand. Almost admiring it’s beauty even. Also, his position is seemingly higher than Ephemer, the leader and 4. It’s very suspicious and makes one think that he probably knows more than what is presented, perhaps everything and what will happen.

2/3. Skuld and Blaine. Their position is on either side of Ephemer, almost like a pair of bodyguards. This could be symbolism in that they are loyal to Ephemer and will protect him. It also signifies how they hold an almost equal status, with Ephemer being a little bit above them, it makes sense as he is the leader. Something else I noticed is that Blaine is looking to the right, where 4′s direction is, just as Skuld is faced in Lauriam’s direction, left. I can’t think of what this spells currently,

4. Mysterious figure that could or could not be Strelitzia’s nobody. They are holding the Bleeding Heart Vine… The white one which signifies a tragic death of a beautiful lady. They are also behind the scenes as nobody is aware of their presence, except Lauriam maybe. Not much can be said.

5. Ven is in front of Ephemer surprisingly, which could be like a guard who may take a hit or attack for Ephemer. His status is also a lot lower than everybody except Chirithy. It adds in that he believes he doesn’t know why he is selected. It could also mean that he is right under surveillance, not enough to be noticed. He looks down as opposed to everybody looking forward and up. Perhaps it’s his lack of goal that is the reason. Ven’s position is stationary and aloof. A thought is that he won’t act much in the new plot or he will stay “mentally” the same.

6. Chirithy. Or more specifically, the symbolism that the player is right there with the group. Not much can be said except that they (or us) are looking earnestly in the future. Our position is the lowest because obviously we do not hold that status… but we are still important and looking forwards.

7. Ephemer is at the center of it all. He is the heart of it all. And most importantly he is looking towards the future, his expression serious since he is in charge of being the one who leads everyone. Everyone is circled around him because they are connected to him. He is the leader and arguably, the main character in this new story we’re heading in.

Last thoughts! The number shows 7… I’m sure what most of us are thinking. There is also something to note with the fact that all the new union leaders share a color scheme. Black, Red, and White.

If there are any thoughts or theories, please tell me. I love to hear them! Also tell me if you agree or disagree!
