    Hmmm... That looks like a screenshot, not concept art.

    I can't put my finger on it but there is something in it that makes me say it's not a screenshot. Something in the textures maybe, they're flat in that picture and it makes it more cartoony and wowish than what the actual game looks like.

    Personally ( and maybe I just don't have artist eyes) but that area in the picture looks the same as it does in game. That's just me though.

    Edit: Even if it is concept art, they sure did put it out their that carby will be a summoners pet now.

    It's a downscaled, compressed, and slightly touched up screenshot, but it's still a screenshot. The blotchy low-res gress texture makes that easily apparent.

    That being said, it isn't indicative of anything. The carby is a bit more iconic than the lame primal egis, so it's possible (probable?) that they just used GM powers when taking the screenshot to summon a carby instead, since it is a promotional image after all.

    That might be what I'm seeing then. It just didn't look right to me.

    I'd call it false advertisement. I can see the budding new summoners now...
