There was also a brief ninja look at Ahriman pet :3 and some others that he didn't want to show which we could only glimpse at from a weird perspective while he was shifting the papers ; ;

I get it, it's an homage to the "Here Icon" from classic final fantasy games.

From my understanding... that's like a demon wall baby (a demon brick), lmao.

OMFG that whole piece of paper made me SO HAPPY! I'm glad we get the traditional Gilgamesh this time. The XI one is a good gruff-old-pirate character, but nothing compares to the charm of our dopey, many-armed, void-wandering stooge!

I'm also really shocked they have concept art for Cloud of Darkness. I mean if they're ripping final bosses from previous games, is there a chance we'll see Zeromus, Yu Yevon, or even Chaos (bosses that may be able to wander time/dimensions, allowing canonical appearances)?

Yoshida really is awesome... after seeing the full update my love for this game has renewed!!!!!

I think the "here" icon (like in FFVII) points down at your character? I believe this is the traditional menu arrow that existed since FFI:

Wonder if this headpiece has anything to do with the arena gear that we were shown. . . .

A big thank you to Magnesium02 and Niqote for taking and sharing the screenshots during the broadcast!

It seems so. I think they said that all pvp gear is animal/beast themed in some way?

Oh, I didn't catch that bit of info. Then perhaps this is one of the lower tier armours.

From Reinhart's live translation:
y this is pvp reward
y; it’s different from regular FF style
y this is job gear for pvp
y theme is beast looking ones
y there are more

According to this, beast themed gear might only be pvp or it could just mean the ones they were showing atm were all beast themed. My memory of what they specifically said in Japanese is fuzzy but I thought they meant all the beast themed gear would only be attainable via pvp.

Thanks! It could well be that the one in the video is part of the pvp rewards then :3 Not sure how I personally feel about beast themed armour, never was a fan of that in any game but they do have a neat design!

Awesome thread, thanks for the screenshots. My god that Leo armor!

surely on youtube later on (in some days or weeks)

like after every live-letter ... you should know it already ;XD

I don't like the pvp separate armor, more clutter, more to carry around. More complaint's between people with none of it and people with all of it.. I swear the more i look at what ARR is becoming the more it appears to be Final Fantasy themed WoW.

Sorry, you will need to wait till they upload it to youtube I believe. It should only take them a couple of days to do it though based on previous videos. Here is a nice recap for you as well as the many pics Rogue, myself and other have posted in this thread.

I am assuming they are rewards for PvPing rather then armor you must have to actually participate

I see them as Elezen with ears due to the lanky tall aspects... but I am glad Yoshi wants to add a more unique race instead.

has anyone notice the two pics, adventure_heavy and adventure_fighter gears look like these guys in this pic

one has a lance and the other a bow

That's the question that should have been asked, and was not... Does the beast armor which is related to PvP, augment potency of a character in a PvP battle? Does the person in full armor steam roll every one, with out? It's a no brainier you can do pvp with out it, the question is what gap will exist when a person with it faces off some one with out it.

That bear armour is the best thing ever. I know what I'm going for! Also, I love the name 'minions'!! They're all so adorable.

I wasn't too interested in the housing system before, but it's really sounding fun now with the idea of different rooms and a Chocobo stable. I'll have to start saving up from the moment I set foot in Eorzea - epic treehouse times will be mine.

This might be that "Armoury Board" they spoke of.

Not sure if this little guy was uploaded yet but I saw someone a few pages back saying they didn't manage to snap a shot of it. So here's one I managed to grab! :P

This next one is just a bonus because I really love the design of this monster (inspired from the ones from FF XI) and I felt like giving him some love! :D

http://i.imgur.com/L3iy0Il.jpg

Unfortunately, I thought I snapped all the missing pet pics into my screenshot folder that people were mentioning, but sadly I realized I was pressing the wrong button on my keyboard to take pics when they appeared... @ ~ @ LOL

Loved the baby Goblin, Qiqirn and Raptor they showed, among all the others!!! XD

Ahhh, I really can't wait to see the other baby monsters!! I'm thinking bear armour and baby wolf minion, roaming the Coerthas wilds <3

This is a baby Interceptor, the dog pet of the ninja(shadow) in FFVI!!!!!!

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...psdb0af370.png

im drowning in the flood of info!!! but my word ill drown happily :3

Macro/Hotbar setup??

I believe that might be the new Armory, combination, system they have planning. Forgot the code name they gave it. But there is only sorted armor/clothe piece, sorted, in that picture.

It would be epic if Yoshi and Team kept that giant turtle approach. Redesigned it a bit to look more like Genbu and have it wonder the black shroud area and through quests/FATE system, be able to take it out. Because, seeing something like that from the video was really cool. And would make that area look&feel epic.
