Lore Book Preview Spotted on the 14-Hour Broadcast

I've been looking forward to this for a long time now.

I was actually thinking of starting a thread asking if any information had surface on it, I am pleasantly surprised. My wallet is downstairs weeping, which I believe is an entirely unrelated matter.

I'm just going to leave this here because I'm too busy reading it to do anything else.

EDITS (AND PTERODACTYL SCREECHING) INCOMING

Cant. wait.
Translating/reading this makes me feel like a real scholar >: D

I'm hoping that the lore book will be available for order after the NA fanfest, although I'm afraid that it won't be until after the last of the three fests. Does anyone know if they have given a date for general release?

Even its just a little teaser of the lore book. It already gaves a lot of info and more speculation...

*Squints*

Huh, so belief in Hydaelyn in Eorzea is like belief in Copernican heliocentrism back in the European Renaissance? I.E. they're both borne out by the available evidence but they'll also both earn you a visit from the more zealous sort of Inquisitor?

Also I already said this over on the Reddit thread but I'm both happy and worried that they're keeping it to "things an NPC could reasonably know" vs the Whole Truth. It's a very immersive approach to Lore and I appreciate it a lot but at the same time it's going to lead to a lot of confusion for people who are used to Lore resources being absolutely authoritative.

ETA: "Sheep"? "SHEEP"?! We want none of your strange foreign Othard words here, Ser! Call it a Karkul, as Nophica named it!

Just found another page (japanese) with a preview of the Lorebook. I hope we will soon get a date when avaible in the Onlinestore.

A (very abridged from the looks of it) summary of the Umbral and Astral eras! History of the jobs and equipment! I seriously hope these are available from the online store in the not-so-distant future...

I really, really hope this book will be available in Australia (Square Enix store is for digital purchases only down here).
