This cutscene was also before the new direction of the game.

No one noticed the 2 legs in the bottom right side of the picture that don't seem to belong to anyone?

Those belong to the White Mage. She's just really posed awkwardly.

THM = WHM only if PLD = MRD
oh wait mrd have more tank skill than thm having healing skill...

p.s: I don't really care who is whm ( since I have both thm and con at same level
and it won't be the first time they change how to play them)

looks like an artist mistake, that or the image is recreated from seperate pieces, and someone messed up and split her in half.

WHM AF boots are stilts fashioned from Elezen limbs

That's not a harp on the bow lol. There are only 4, maybe 5 strings if one is hidden, and that's nowhere near enough. If that's a harp, it's a very poorly designed one, and I doubt it would be poorly designed based on the rest of the stuff in the pic.

It looks more like either an elaborate compound bow, a quiver attached to the bow like a real-world hunting bow, or something else entirely.

=0
Do want
I would love more fist weapons that engulf the hands like that. Mini Meng Huo dragon fist weapons would be cool ;x
All of he armors look awesome. Lnc looks amazing.

Horns and sheep fur is trademark bst gear

Horns and fur are trademark Viking gear you mean.

Only bad thing I'm seeing is that on the whm AF the hood doesn't seem to be pulled up on the head... Would prefer the hooded classic look xD

The harp is clearly visible and on a prehensile hinge.

Yes, but which came first, III or XI? :P

Looks like they went super FFIV, with archer if it is brd, it would be based off of Edward von Muir. DRG is Kain, PLD is xiv version of Cecil pld (my boyfriend plays GLA and is hating hardcore on the crown). The MNK job looks like it has weapons made of animal heads, really cool imo, idk why either. WHM LOVE IT. BLM LOVE it....only if we have that casting animation back. MRD's job looks like viking from FFIII mixed with bst from XI (just in look of gear). Overall pumped if they would do something akin to this, and not just cop this out as artwork (which they never do yay!)

Well, III was indeed first. But BST was in as early as V, and through she was an "artist" Realm in VI pretty much was a BST with her Sketch ability.

Still, I'd be elated with anything other than warrior be it VKG or BST. WAR would still be nifty, but something a little more exotic would rock.

God forbid, a poorly designed bow-harp. They clearly didnt do enough research. The lack of strings ruins my immersion tbh.

Uh... ok.

Occam's razor, dude. It's got 4, maybe 5 strings, and it's on a bow. "A harp" is about the least possible thing it could be. Immersion has nothing to do with it lol.

has anyone thought that perhaps the metal bar connecting the bow and the harp may be hiding the 5th string -_- the shit's not even out yet man stop the QQ and wait for 1.2 then cry. please.

It would still be about 15-40 strings too few to be a harp lol.

yeah edited post to reflect my initial ignorance of the fourth string, corrected that :P but here :p

idk how to make links into a few words sorry bout that..

though it may in fact not be a bow harp, i think yall are mistaking something, it doesnt need to be a "harp" if its a stringed instrument attached to a bow, its enough for a "bard" This is a dfferent world the instruments dont need to mirror ours, in fact their should be differences.

http://www.google.com/search?q=strin...w=1085&bih=553

look at the variety in one world.


That said it still could just be a stylized bow

You really don't want ARC to be BRD? lol

Really? I can think of a few things its less likely to be.

not to mention when has any bard class wielded a 15-40 string harp? like wdf why would you even WANT to bring that into a battle? xD

personal guess would be a harp as it resembles one however second guess would be a ghetto lute.

The upper part of the bow also seems to lack the structural integrity to be a bow. Cant be a bow either. Perhaps its just a decorated staff?

Would also look like crap on most people's computers.

A harp needs varying lengths of strings to make different notes in an ascending order...its not a harp, if you take into consideration the way its tilted all the strings look about the same length.

I could not care less whether ARC is BRD lol. It's just not a harp. It doesn't look like a harp. I have no idea why people are jumping to the conclusion that something that looks so un-harp-like is a harp.

Well lyre whatever. same dif.

Can't wait to see these armors in game. :D

Did someone say earlier in the thread there was a 3D picture of the Black Mage armor? I mean, I've seen the drawing thing that shows the sides and stuff. Is that what you were talking about?

As far as CON and THM goes... I dunno. I want more information about how the job system will work in general. Will we have to re-level the Jobs from 1 after the quest? Or do they start at 20 or whatever level our main class was?

Probably because harps in videogames tend to not look like real harps. Many videogame harps have less than 10 strings. Some have strings of the same lengths, some dont.

They can be same length but different tension.

Frequeny is proportional to both length and tension.

So length can remain constant and tension can be changed to produce different frequencies.

You can also change the material of strings to change frequency/tension relationship.

Well whatever. It's a lyre then, happy now?

lol come to think of it the arrow looks like some bastardized bow for a violin, bowvolin? haha it would be funny to shoot bows with your bow, logical nothing about that tool makes much sense though, so who the heck knows what its for

anyone notice the blm is playing an ocarina...blm must be bard
and the drg is playing base...drg must be bard too
