Things I noticed on the new company posters!~

I believe its a BSM or ARM in that LL poster (he is wearing the stereotypical crafting garbs) I think they are just alluding to having crafters part of the Grand Company (not fighting in the war but making the weapons of war). Also, I don't know if its already been said but the shield in the Ul'dah poster is already in the game (yes there is a shield with two "swords" sticking out of it). I would like to know if the Zweihander belongs to the Ul'dah company leader (and they are just showcasing it) or are we looking at a new weapon possibly? Also Gridanian women are well endowed

You thinking of the Bladed Lantern shield?

It's got a sword sticking out of both ends, but it doesn't look like the one in the pic...

These things are real, by the way -

Note the spike sticking out!

That double-bladed shield looks pretty impractical. I doubt that'll stop me from using it when it becomes available, though.

Which wooden mask is that guy wearing? Anyone know? It looks very futuristic...

It's just a bladed lantern shield with 2 blades instead of one >.>

Double the attack bonus? lol

The Design of the maelstrom ships do not indicate that they are actual ship designs in-game, or in Eorzea, but rather decorative for the posters. Remember, these posters are intended to come off as artistic "recruitment posters", so naturally each Grand Company's artist would have embellished the details. Like the size of the lone woman's ba-dongos in the Gridanian poster, just to appeal to the "naturalists"...

She just followed the advices of the great gridanian lalafell sage Blojobe Hanjobe..."When nothing else works, show people your boobs!"

I just thought odd she actually beind adult since the padjal (sp) often stop growing around 10~12yo.

It would be cool if these posters were hanging up in the actual city states in-game.

Can anyone translate what is written on the posters?

From the looks of it they say.

The Maelstrom: "Till Sea Swallows All - Limsa Lominsa - The Maelstrom"
The Order of the Twin Adder: Serenity Purity Sanctity. - "The Order of the Twin Adder - Gridania"
The Immortal Flames: "By Fire Reborn - The Immortal Flames - Ul'dah"

Thanks to Echo for posting the Grid one. That font wasn't legible at all for me =/

The Maelstrom: "Till She Swallows All - Limsa Lominsa - The Maelstrom"
The Order of the Adder: Still trying to figure this one out - "The Order of the Adder - Gridania"
The Immortal Flames: "By Fire Reborn - The Immortal Flames - Ul'dah"

Thanks man! I printed all three out on glossy cardstock this morning, they look fantastic. Wish we could get some higher-def verisons of them; I would make larger copies...

Indeed! We are plenty of walls and task boards where they could be placed. ^^ Could even make some like elections...like having posters placed in different cities often ripped or with a local poster placed on top of it, half covering it. ^^

Trying to figure out the Gridania one now, I've gotten it about half done but it doesn't make any sense.
For now I'm gonna guess it's latin or something :x
