Perhaps the Sylph dungeon can only be accessed if we cast mini on ourselves!

Awesome Thread here!

It would be nice to organize the images by region.

I thought about that but some of the artwork isn't at the big maps so hard to tell where they belong ^^;

EDIT: Added in new monsters :p

The angelic thing is likely Seraphim. The Seraphs were depicted as six-winged serpents, and Seraphim was a beautiful woman summon in FFVI. Seraphim is the plural form of Seraph, though. I wonder if they'll change it, or if they'll make multiples. Maybe it's the primal of the Sylphs? It's also a possible new twist on the Siren summon. Sirens were depicted, among many things, as birds with woman faces.

In a way they kinda mash the two ideas together, since Siren in FFVIII had golden wings. It wouldn't be the first mix and match (*cough* Bow/harp *cough*).

Btw did anyone else noticed the Qiqirn-shaped rock structure looks just like the earlier artwork of a rock structure? It seems SE is making all of their symbols as big and obvious as possible, such as the GIGANTIC new aetherytes.

Yes looks like bits of the maps are been polished with a much more detailed theme ..some staying the same but they are all nice nonetheless ^_^b

Those wyverns look exactly like the dragoons in FFXI XD

Also the Sahagin look more humanoid then ever, they even put a human body structure/height marker next to the concept art XD.. When they add the water expansion I wonder what kind of role the Sahagin will get, under water towns?

Most of the concept art has a reference Hyur figure to give the team a measure of the mobs' scale.

Will this be the basic form of it? as it will allow full customisation doubt people will keep it this way.
Because i doubt we will get the Garlean version

Black Shroud... is so pretty.....
lots eye opening view points, I can imagine
some can be you know broken walls, maybe from ancient keep or castle left over at black shroud. Just looks similar to the concept art.
