Hidden Artifacts is an Insult!

So SE doesnt have any concept art that none of us have seen before? would it really hurt to give us something complety new and original thats not in the CE artwork or the 2.0 pdf document. I will just wait for the E3 trailer.

HEY GUYS LOOK DIFFERENT CONCEPT ART FOR FRENCH AND AMERICAN EVENT:

actually it's just behemoths horn revealed for the french, and behemoths tail revealed to the americans. LOL

Zahak I think I love you.

On a side note, this made me look through the concept art notebook again, and I noticed that there are many pictures of areas not in the game yet. Like a mushroom forest, a dungeon and what looks like another city/village in the woods. Wonder if we'll see any of that stuff.

It also made me realise how much more pretty and unique the city-states looked in their concept art.:(

Then the document be "this is some concept art for 2.0" not "WE JUST MADE THIS LAST NIGHT FOR THIS VERY MOMENT, ITS BRAND NEW BRO!"

Notice the difference? One is simple, other is bullshit.

This is not about being "madbro" and "mad" is actually the wrong word to apply. For that matter, none of the posters whom are bothered by this post have come out and said "i am mad bro" they have, more precisely, expressed dissapointment for various reasons.

The posters who "arenotmadbro" just so happen to be the ones labelling the posters who are annoyed by this as "madbro" and essentially lack what is known as empathy and rather than understand the reasons for their sentiments decide to prejudiciously label them as they see fit.

Well then...

Promising something new and releasing something old is not a troll. If anything, it would be scum-bag worthy.

This is staggering. If I was in FFXIII, I would be 999% staggered.

While finding out that the picture is of the CE artbook Behemoth is deflating towards my looking forward to the contest (for the NA version, at least), it's... not going to matter. I'll get home from work and log in and do some levelling/beastmen strongholds with my LS, do a few sidequests, craft, go to bed... it's not going to matter. Images on a page.

If they said a new fight was coming out, and it just ended up being Ifrit move-for-move and strat-for-strat, yeah, let's raise the pikes and call for some heads. But this is, y'know, nothing near that.

A'shakkal.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone checked to see if the Japanese version of the event says that they are revealing all-new art? It would not be the first time that the English localization team added flare to the text without knowing the whole story. It's entirely possible that the English event does contain all-new artwork.

A lie is a lie, you can dress it up any which way you like but it ont change the fact that it's a lie. This is not even a "little white lie" that you tell your kids to avoid having to get into some overly complicated story involving things they shouldn't know about. This is a flat out lie that does not have any justification. If SE truly "painstakingly procured NEW content artwork" then they would have done just that, posted new pictures of content never before seen. This not yet being the case, SE could have just said "hey mystery event, we're gunna post some unreleased content images that you may or may not have already seen in the past" and no one would have given a rats tail.

The fact is that the excitement and "hype" is generated by posting never before seen images and not images easily viewed on the internet. That is what this event is supposed to be: new images to produce renewed interest, and unfortuneately the first image has completely backfired despite the enthousiastic response to the question.

Would anyone participate in the event if they were showing us an image of ifrit, garuda, or moggle mog?
