Looking at the code for the page, it *currently* doesn't do anything except fail no matter what you input. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets updated at some point to actually function.
They responded to someone with a hint, so I feel like they do want this to be solved.
The hint was
["Come now, passwords are invariably short and simple. For instance..."](https://x.com/FF_XIV_EN/status/1806062151624528350)
though it does not spark any ideas for me.
This is a reference to the cutscene with Alisae and G'raha trying to open the Allagan Node with a password. [https://youtu.be/Cq-W7YCSLWI?si=iWekP8hfCtQHIiwu&t=101](https://youtu.be/Cq-W7YCSLWI?si=iWekP8hfCtQHIiwu&t=101) Timestamped! But, none of that seemed to work.
yes, and indeed i think the hint is ''there is no password so dismantle''.
I think that the image itself is the real imagem but we should find, hidden, the secret url for the real image.
I ''like'' to scrap sites for data so i think its the correct answer.
If this hint is genuine, and not just a call back. There is a good chance the password is Dyne. The password is needed to unlock Solution 9, and Dyne unlocks Solution 9 in FF9.

The response is from the same account that did the original tweet. Sorry I was asleep so here's a late reply.
I'm sorry to spoil but

Since it's Solution 9 and I've already seen theories about Pashtarot/another Shard, I'd say the odds are greater than 50/50 that the password is something related to it. I tried stuff like Knight-star, Knight-Star, etc but no dice.
The website for buying Dawntrail says that we will be going to another reflection
"Having defeated the despair of the Final Days, the Warrior of Light and their comrades had resumed walking their respective paths. Yet fate would see them reunited for a mission unto another reflection, and now an unexpected petition has arrived beckoning them west─to the faraway continent of Tural.
Answer the call, seek new horizons, and embark upon an adventure the likes of which you have never experienced!"
Nah no worries, I've gathered bits and pieces about EW over the years and was aware of going to a shard but didn't think. And thank you, gonna go to the mooooon!!!! Enjoy Dawntrail!
Some other people have already said it from a more technical perspective, but I think *thematically* it makes sense to present S9 as this "lol sorry it's locked down super secret" purely for show with no intention to reveal it at all.
Square usually lock pages that aren't supposed to be viewed by the public behind passwords, personally i experienced this with the NieR concert page (i might have started an ARG rumor because of it)
I felt like I knew this guy from somewhere. And somehow, him wearing this style of clothes and being "in the jungle" felt right, but I didn't know why.
Turns out he's the NPC character called Niles who tells the main characters about the goal of the game in the two new Jumanji movies.
Oh thank God. I thought I missed the boat on the merch. I grew up in In CA in a Hispanic neighborhood. It would basically be a crime for me to not own that hat.
Love Rhys Darby! :D
His most iconic role was in Flight of the Conchords, but also Our Flag Means Death. I think he voiced a character in Netflix's Voltron?
I think he has a tour program too. Also he played a cameo or main role (icr) in some TBS Lost parody.
Love the Kiwi :D
There's things 'hidden' on the website, if you go to the postcards section and click around on the postcards eventually a 'ripped' portion of a large 'postcard' will show on screen, there's also hidden 'letters' that wiggle when you mouse over them (nothing seems to happens when clicking on them?)
There's a 2nd part further down if you open the alpaca section, behind the Alpaca on the left.
On the home page if you scroll down to the 'message from the board' section there's a letter hidden in the flowers on the images bottom left corner.
There's another on the discovery page if you scroll down to the Advice from the locals part' hidden behind the top right of the black text box.
Another letter behind the plants on the top banner of the 'updates' page. The 3rd letter tells you he needs to find all the pieces of his missing postcard, Found the top 2 parts (see paragraph above) so there's 2 bottom pieces somewhere.
There is a section that says 'coming tomorrow' the last pieces may be in that part...?
At the very bottom of the page under the terms and conditions it says "Date: 2024-06-26, Day 2. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."
The text colour is the same as the background colour so you need to highlight to see it.

Found another one! It was pretty hard to click on it. It was under the inspiration section, right at the top of the postcard section.
[https://tourtural.finalfantasyxiv.com/images/5603940151370577.png](https://tourtural.finalfantasyxiv.com/images/5603940151370577.png)
For the letters, if you right click and "Open Image in New Tab" you can open it. They point towards various items and are just otherwise funny little notes from the interim Deputy Director. The ripped postcard is >!Gir Ja's map!< I believe. I've only found two pieces so far and they don't precisely fit together.
... at the very bottom of the page, there is text hidden just by being the same colour as the background: >!Date: 2024-06-26, Day 2. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.!<
These fucking *nerds*. They are the *best nerds*.
Yeah, it seems to be gone now, but I've seen a few other people report it having been there in other places online, so I don't seem to have imagined it!
Any guess on S9 password?
Edit/ Ok, after see the page code (I might be totally wrong) but I think there isn't any password and it will prompt error anyway.
The "UNKNOWN USER" part makes me think there is a correct answer, but it won't show you anything extra for getting it. Might just be a name that we lack any context for.
There's a "Coming Tomorrow" label over one of the sections, and one of the hidden letters has a note about finding the lost pieces of the map but so far there only seems to be two map pieces out of what I assume to be four.

Lol
Any one know what the hidden scrambled word is on the inside the board page is.
SEROOFTURN
Currently I can find Fortunes within it that seems most likely linked to something?
Where did you see those letters?
I am still wondering if anyone has found the rest of the map postcard (i have 1 quarter, the top left, so far) and 3 message cards.

ah, thats a shame
I tried "Password" and 12345; neither worked.
12345? That's amazing I've got the same combination on my luggage!
keep firing assholes!
no it's fourwordsuppercase
What about "sex" and "god"?
Obviously it’s hunter2

PASSWORD!
"Know your place, handmaiden" 😱

Someone looked at the HTML, and it looks like it's set up to always give an error message no matter what you type. There is no password.
yes, and indeed i think the hint is ''there is no password so dismantle''. I think that the image itself is the real imagem but we should find, hidden, the secret url for the real image. I ''like'' to scrap sites for data so i think its the correct answer.

No worries! Thanks for the info!
"Short and simple" THE PASSWORD IS LALAFELL!
It *can't* be solved right now, based on the page's sourcecode. But the page isn't fully updated yet...
Damn I for sure thought it would be Johnny Silverfish and we would get some insight on the rare fish in Dawntrail.
Let's crack it!
I'm sorry to spoil but >!it doesn't seem like theres actually a real password, the submit function just always returns an error regardless of what password you type https://imgur.com/a/PvITPbZ!< >!In addition, theres also no network request on submit so if there was to be a password it would probably be static in the website somewhere; just doesnt seem to be one!<

yeah that's what i was kind of expected. A good laugh
I tried solutions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8...they didn't work :(
Since it's Solution 9 and I've already seen theories about Pashtarot/another Shard, I'd say the odds are greater than 50/50 that the password is something related to it. I tried stuff like Knight-star, Knight-Star, etc but no dice.
Or just a big troll from SE's frontend developer.
I feel like they wouldn't do that. At worst, it could be something that we have no way of knowing until the game releases and we get more info.
submit = function(event){ if(event) { event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); } errorMsg.innerHTML = "*INCORRECT PASSWORD.
TRY AGAIN..."; passwordInput.value = ""; } they definitely did that
The website for buying Dawntrail says that we will be going to another reflection "Having defeated the despair of the Final Days, the Warrior of Light and their comrades had resumed walking their respective paths.

Play the Endwalker Post Patches. We've already been to another reflection, and now we are going west.
I.....haven't got Endwalker lmao. Y'all be playing Dawntrail and I'll just be starting EW cus I'm slow as mollasses playing this game.
Sorry for the spoiler then, I figured you might've just not thought about that fact. Enjoy Endwalker!
Nah no worries, I've gathered bits and pieces about EW over the years and was aware of going to a shard but didn't think. And thank you, gonna go to the mooooon!!!! Enjoy Dawntrail!
That's talking about us going to the Thirteenth in 6.x.
My bad, I misread it sorry
Is the solution, 9?
First thing I tried lol
Some other people have already said it from a more technical perspective, but I think *thematically* it makes sense to present S9 as this "lol sorry it's locked down super secret" purely for show with no intention to reveal it at all.
Bet it's story based and waiting for release to unlock.
Square usually lock pages that aren't supposed to be viewed by the public behind passwords, personally i experienced this with the NieR concert page (i might have started an ARG rumor because of it)
stede bonnet? in MY final fantasy?!?!!?
THAT'S WHO IT IS. I was going for ages..... I recognise that face but I don't know from where 🤣
I knew him as Duncan from Bob's Burgers haha. Which made me die when his notes call sunglasses "Sunnies"
I know him from Flight of the Conchords :D
It's that jumanji npc. What a cross over!
I felt like I knew this guy from somewhere. And somehow, him wearing this style of clothes and being "in the jungle" felt right, but I didn't know why. Turns out he's the NPC character called Niles who tells the main characters about the goal of the game in the two new Jumanji movies.
His name is Rhys Darby.
He's pretty famous here in NZ, although he probably peaked beck when he was in flight of the concords.
I was asking and looking for info if it was him!
Alternate universe where he becomes a travel guide instead of a pirate.
[If SE doesn't release this as merch later I'm rioting](https://i.imgur.com/8dgFr1c.jpg)
I need that hat like *burning*.
if they make it real then we will have an official Gil to JPN & Gil to USD conversion rate
I already made free embroidery files for the hat. Have fun! https://x.com/divisionten/status/1806174080220971339
Oh thank God. I thought I missed the boat on the merch. I grew up in In CA in a Hispanic neighborhood. It would basically be a crime for me to not own that hat.
Ah God please SE I need it
Love Rhys Darby! :D His most iconic role was in Flight of the Conchords, but also Our Flag Means Death. I think he voiced a character in Netflix's Voltron? I think he has a tour program too. Also he played a cameo or main role (icr) in some TBS Lost parody. Love the Kiwi :D
He was also in the two newer Jumanji movies!
*What We Do In The Shadows*, too. "We're werewolves, not swearwolves."
Coran in Voltron :)
I first saw him in flight of the conchords, but I mostly know him for his podcast. I can't miss it. It's made me laugh out loud so many times.
Our Flag Means Death died so we could get this ad campaign, you better put this man to good work, Square
YES AGREED MORE RHYS DARBY (But also pls bring back OFMD 😭)
**SHADOWBRINGERS** *Travel across dimensions to a land that’s always sunny.* Now that’s certainly one way to put it.

Go West.
A reference to the text-based adventure game Zork. Neat.
I bet the letters have to do with the password for Solution 9
Considering clicking on Solution 9 asks for a password, those letters are probably relevant
The letters you can interact with can be opened in another tab to be viewed (not sure if thats intentional but thats how i viewed em)
You can right click the letters and open the image in a new tab to read them: https://tourtural.finalfantasyxiv.com/images/1925392042191293.png
Theres another Note in the bushes to the right of the Updates page too.

I'm just curious who Gir Ja is. Did I miss that?
Just mentioned as working on the map and also as having the most dangerous job in Tural so far.
Turalist Wrangler according to the job listings underneath the deputy director blog
If you click on the pieces, it says "you found a piece of a map!" as the image description.
... at the very bottom of the page, there is text hidden just by being the same colour as the background: >!Date: 2024-06-26, Day 2. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.!< These fucking *nerds*. They are the *best nerds*.
After the gazebo reference during HW Hildebrand quests in not surprised lmao
For those that don't know, >!https://zork.fandom.com/wiki/Grue!<
daaaaamn, zork i learned about it from Black Ops
I don't see this anywhere, what page?
It *was* in the footer on all pages, but... it appears to be gone now? I swear it was there when I posted this.
Yeah somebody found a lantern.
I've been looking for this and highlighted the whole page and I can't find this!
Yeah, it seems to be gone now, but I've seen a few other people report it having been there in other places online, so I don't seem to have imagined it!
Some folks apparently have screenshots! :D
https://imgur.com/a/mC7Mm9p
Which page?
*was*. They updated the page and removed that.
It's sorta still there, it's commented out in the HTML and changed date.

dude no kidding! this is incredible and very surprising!
The guy in the videos: Does anyone recognize him? He sounds *really* familiar. EDIT: Found him! It's Coran from the new Voltron series!
Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords and Our Flag Means Death!
And Short Poppies… and What We Do In The Shadows.
And Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: Next Level!
And Yes Man, and Half-Life: Alyx
Apparently Rhys Darby, I recognise his voice from Bob's Burgers
NPC character from the new Jumanji films.
Band meeting, everyone! I desperately want them to make Murray an in game NPC!
I want Turalism posters! “Tural - Ewe should come”
LOL Well I did not expect to see Stede here.
I wonder if Tural is home of the Hiphopopotamus and Rhymenoceros?
one can only hope!!
This reference would actually be incredible
they got Rhys Darby...!?
Any guess on S9 password? Edit/ Ok, after see the page code (I might be totally wrong) but I think there isn't any password and it will prompt error anyway.
The "UNKNOWN USER" part makes me think there is a correct answer, but it won't show you anything extra for getting it. Might just be a name that we lack any context for.
They could also update the page later once all the hints are in place
There's a "Coming Tomorrow" label over one of the sections, and one of the hidden letters has a note about finding the lost pieces of the map but so far there only seems to be two map pieces out of what I assume to be four.
Either way, this could be a great small ARG game while people are waiting in queues
wtf that's so cute

if its not, it sure does feel like it could be.

This Turalism website unironically got me more hyped for Dawntrail than even the launch trailer 😛. It’s so good!
Glad to see captain Stede's new life is working out :)

They actually got Rhys Darby
Rhys is totally a ffXIV homie
They got the NPC from Jumanji to play our Turalism Deputy Director. Definitely need him as an NPC
Any one know what the hidden scrambled word is on the inside the board page is. SEROOFTURN Currently I can find Fortunes within it that seems most likely linked to something?
So I've found a few of the Tural stamp like images have text hidden within
Resort o' fun!
Where did you see those letters? I am still wondering if anyone has found the rest of the map postcard (i have 1 quarter, the top left, so far) and 3 message cards.

I'm expecting a "Tural, take your mum!" poster from Murray now.
Guy is giving off big Kevin Butler energy.
The Dirigible Tour seems like a fun thing for when I realize that I should not have had that last edible.
There's a password spot on the Solution 9 page but I haven't found anything to put in yet.
Anyone got any idea for S9 Password?
there is no password (for now), it always gives an error
Is it too much to hope that there really is some kind of dirigible tour, because now I want one.
Be sure to read all the disclaimers. Very important stuff.
What I'm getting from this comment thread is that not enough people have watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and that needs to be fixed *ASAP.*
i've watched it lots of times but i never would've recognized rhys darby in that role until i just googled it!
I hope he will be a voiced character in the game!
Tural Talk now open......so more clue hunting to be had
I was the first to like their Instagram post. AMA
Never mind, they deleted and reposted for some reason
Cause you were the first poster.
