What do you know... Yoshida tweets that FFXVI will be getting a teaser site in late October... and we're getting a teaser site in late October...
Grabbed the world map in the background!
I find it interesting that the Mothercrystals are all named some variant of "Drake's X". The one major FF character I can think of that is a drake (dragon)
is Bahamut and... I'm guessing he'll (she'll?) have a different role to play this time around than being an Eikon. It does look like there's roughly one Eikon/Dominant per Mothercrystal though... Drake's Tail is the only Mothercrystal that seems to be missing one.
Given what is said about the Iron Kingdom, I wonder if that is where Clive went after the Ifrit incident. The idea about killing a Dominant certainly feels like it would naturally come from there. The Iron Kingdom would also be the one to go after Rosaria's Dominant given they and Rosaria seem to be vying for control of the same Mothercrystal. So maybe Clive wants payback?
On the standard of the Crystalline Dominion, there's four circles that look like mini versions of the other countries standards. The smaller version of Sanbreque's standard is greenish-yellow, while the smaller version of Waloed's standard is a very dark blue. I'm guessing the Eikon of Sanbreque is Garuda (or another wind-themed summon; we see Clive use wind-themed attacks in the trailer) and the Eikon of Waloed is Shiva.
But yeah, looks interesting so far. A bunch of different cultures and government types with a dash of metaphysics to spice the politics up. You can kinda just see how the tentative peace could give way without too much of a push...

Phonetically speaking, her companion, Yaag Roch, was pronounced very close to "Jack", so yeah, they were "Jack and Jill", who went up the hill, one was murdered by a fal'Cie, the other blew himself up
