oh i've no doubt and i'll be right up there with them.

my concern is more along the line of distant future expansions once people have explored everything and get lazy and start teleporting everywhere. you think the development team wont try and pull a few fast ones on us explorer's, the detail of the world is important only if you cant warp from point A to B by the powers that be.

Is it just my eyes or is the 2nd one the monster that jumps over the Limsa ship from the intro in 1.0? o.o

It is :) ..this was confirmed by Fernehalwes a few days ago as people thought that was Leviathan

Lol I couldnt get the images in my post so I deleted it ^^ silly me..

Anyway thats awesome, that area is probably like lvl 200 mobs :O

Added a few more Artwork :D So much to look at!!
I hope Yoshi-P releases more artwork by the next Live Letter :D

Every time I look at these photos I always notice something I didn't see before!

The character is wearing a long scarf! I hope they implement those kind, kind of like Rikkus in FFX-2!

I really hope they have trains either passing by or that we can ride them to the cities of where ever!(Maybe Doomtrain as a roaming NM? Primal?)

This one I noticed the Crystal Tower(I think) in the background and it looks huge..

Is this the new Garuda? Are they remaking the Primals? If they do, this would make another awesome Garuda! Love it!

OMG! Ramuh looks so dope! The enormous beard and staff are perfect!(The staff kind of looks like the really cool staff Seymour wielded from FFX)

Teleporting only takes you so far. Even in 1.0 you still had to walk or ride through the areas to get places. It would be really nice if people could just stop the hyperbole about teleporting/exploration, even if for one f'in day.

They already commented that this is not Garuda, but Siren. Due to their similarities I am convinced that this is aspected wind... but I still wonder whether this could be a representative of someone like Llymlaen, rather than Garuda...

Oh thanks! Lol you know your stuff! I was also thinking that it can't be by the way the did the artwork for that one, since the Primals artwork is only just one of them with a white background, but ya I thought it might be like the summoners wind avatar/pet but, meh..

Perhaps... but based on the summoner concept, the avatars look like ghostly versions of the original primals- this is very corporeal, and differs a fair amount from Garuda, so it's tough to conclude that.

Edit: The more I think about it, Siren may be a queen of the Ixali. It would make sense that the highest ranked members of a beast clan would closely emulate the deities they worship.
