The only problem is that this is exactly what killed FFXIV at the release :D

But again, they gave us NO information. I was expecting more than just artwork and story.

The Grand Companies of Eorzea page on the Lodestone will be updated and expanded regularly as game content is developed, so be sure to check it out from time to time!

from the producer letter.

More info will come just not the way we wanted it.

The Nose and Ears are not Elezen based. The Hair IS Roegadyn Based so is the Naming convention. Elezen do not spell their names that way, Roegadyn Do.

Was I the only one who thought Kan-E-Senna was a hume female but with crazy hair accessories? D8

So did I and like I said I was actually disappointed too. However they never said they were going to give us information about how Grand Companies work. They just said they would release a page with information (in this case some lore and art). It is not the information we wanted or expected, but they never said they were going to do exactly what we wanted in the first place .... That is why I can not blame them or even be mad at them. It will come in time ...

We were disappointed because our expectations were too high, not because Square Enix promised us something and ended up not delivering. They did exactly what they said and that is give us some information.

I believe it is this update today. Otherwise they wouldn't bother with this teaser.

> 'We are pleased to announce the launch of the official Grand Companies of Eorzea page!'

i think that is what was meant. It is also not in the patch info.

There was a hint though, the dev tag [1003], from the very first line. Look it up, it mentions companies. That's what everyone's hyped about.
