They're from the "Eorzea prelive" event held in September.

However, even though it shows that the development had already begun at that time, Yoshida may have taken the system to a whole new direction at least initially. I do hope that these things are coming sooner or later. Yoshida was talking about "new synthesis concepts" in his previous letter, so my hopes are high that this may be it.

And as far as the boat goes, PvP.

The boat doesn't mean PvP in the slightest. It could just be a random event when riding the Limsa ferry. It could just be randomly attacked for all you know

This is old information from old team which they said they had some PVP in the works but wont release it just yet becuase there main thing is PVE but they are working on something. He going by that which by all mean could be a PVP event but now we wont know because we have a new team so all the old interview are pretty much noting.

Is that a missile launcher?

A cannon with missiles :O

'I don't care that you just built a missile launcher. I baked a cake!' I think that there would be an epic disconnect between the culinary guild and the other grand companies.

Some spoiler :P especially #4, thats just 2 boats lol. Well at least we know we will have rocket launchers

Open world pvp between companies would be great fun. Defend your companies house/fortress from raids from other companies (capture the flag type). Server time based pvp events. Nations go to war. Factions in each nation that fight each other like gangs. 1v1 duels or party duel options even. Rewards and some type of point system. All of this being something you could join by choice of course. I'm hoping for some pvp. *sigh*

I was very excited after seeing those pics, but had a crazy image in my head. Picture it, your company shows up to an alliance with a rocket launcher to battle the Garlean Empire, another company shows up with war boats, and then... some midgets show up with a giant Birthday cake! Sorry just had to share the funny thought in my mind after viewing that. :p

Umm.. Trojan horse anyone?

Err.. trojan cake in this case? haha xD

i want to build rockets looks like fun lol. :)

holy crap, is that a naval battle?!

not included in these pictures was a rough "first pass" of metal fingers unfurling from the boat in the foreground of http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/img/...xiv06.jpg.html and latching onto the ferry to create boarding gangplanks.

cake.... :Q

The cake is a lie.

Weren't these taken before the change in development? I believe this is something that may or may not have been part of companies, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what is planned currently. What I am getting from these current previews are simply large scale quests meant for entire linkshells to participate in. Nothing for crafters/gatherers to take part in.

Those are Tanaka's boats, cakes, and missile launchers.You can't have them any more!
So yeah these concepts were showed to Yoshi-P a while ago. He says he has the giant cake, but doesn't know what to do with it yet.

It's nothing but old concept art from a veeeeeeeeery long time ago.
Like the commercial trailer where a conjurer casts fire on an archer's arrows,
and a morbol bursts into flame and people actually jump around and cooperate.

Just concept art

...

or broken promises, depending on how you see it.

None of that is even remotely "concept art", wtf lol. And how can it be broken promises when no promises were ever made? You give me a headache.

This is concept art:
