The Art of Eorzea - Another Dawn (new artbook ahoy)

[TeaTimeBear]

Does this mean we will finally have long hair? If they finally decide to give us actual long hair that would be a miracle!

If they'd realize people don't care then yes.

I haven't had problems with them, but I've read stories. Packages not shipping on time, poor customer service, packages not arriving at the right destination..and some dislike how pricey they can be.

Not to mention willingly overselling limited edition items. If you want to see the worst of Digital River, look up what happened with the Ni No Kuni limited edition. Oversold, charged customers at the time of preorder and then fulfilled bulk orders (100+) made by eBay resellers before filling individual orders. They're the EA of online retail.

[Cigaran]

Feel free to order it wherever. All item codes in this game are universal.

Please stop spreading false information that's not even close to being accurate. Only the two soundtrack item codes have seemed to be universal. There are a dozen other items that are all locked by region when you try and claim them.

I just hope that this time they actually look at a map and realize that Europe includes something besides UK, France and Germany.

I used to complain about this all the freaking time, but they've finally started improving their online store.

They already shipped the ARR Soundtrack to Portugal, and I also recently bought the Theathrythym CE from them.

Only took them years to start shipping to most EU countries...

Greetings!

Just wanted to pop in and let you know that the current plan is to debut this book at the Las Vegas and London Fan Festival events and then to sell copies on the respective online store afterwards!
We'll have some more details to share on the Lodestone soon, so please stay tuned!

Good to hear.

Now, what about all the stuff available on the Japanese e-store like the shirts, pins etc that have been there for months now?

Just got their Eorzea Collection 2014 Catalogue and I must say it's pretty darn amazing in terms of quality and depth. Will definitely be picking up this art book (as well as subsequent Eorzea Collections).

i'm a bit lost, not because it's one time japan only item... but at the cover.

i almost did identify all the jobs from the top left to the right, exept a few:
- mrd/war (roe male)
- lnc/drg (elezen male)
- pgl/mnk (highlander male)
- unknow (miqote male)
- rog/nin (highlander female)
- unknow (lalafell female)
- unknow (midlander female), she use a rapier, wierd.
- gld/pld (midlander male)
- thm/blm (lalafell male)
- acn/sch (miqote female)
- acn/smn (elezen female)
- arc/brd (roe female)

any idea for the one i haven't identify? for the miqote male and the lalafell female we don't see weapon, but for the midlander it's clearly a rapier, this weapon don't exist in the game yet, weird no?

ps: with the ninja, we get to 10 jobs and with the 2 jobs announced for the 3.0 we get the 12 jobs. i begin to think that picture was a bit like the scholar we did get before the release a teasing.

I have a feeling this artbook is an updated reference, for things that are coming soon, with the expansion just around the corner and 2.4 3-4 weeks away. That lallafell at the bottom left, I think is Whitemage. We see ninja and the paladin standing opposite of that rapier wielding lady friend. Tells me two things:

1. We are getting another job before the expansion (possibly Red Mage). If its a fencing type class, it could be something that branches off to Samurai as well(as their sword play is also of a fencing variety)
2. the Book is showing things from 2.4 - Expansion, or 2.4 -2.5.
3. In which case, there seems to be another class we don't know about yet.


With the main story heading to Ishgaurd. Ive said it before... Ishgaurd has that setting, in which a Rapier type class/guild would be located. Plus their city flag has a Rose on it.(ffxi Redmage reference to WS)

this is my humble opinion... I like to hope and dream...lol

[silentwindfr]

i do think that we will get new class/jobs only at the expansion (mostly because only the 2.4 and 2.5 are left before the expansion)
we know from Yoshi-P that the two new class will be tank and healer.
indeed Rapier scream Red Mage, but do that means we will get a red mage healer or tank?

ps: i do think the same about the lalafell female, she look a lot like the white mage used in the screen before the release

Welp, looking at the image I can only say that the subtle sexiness of all races in the artwork was not captured in the game itself. What a shame.
