FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Opening Movie Now Live! (01/07/2013)

Exactly. I never recall them saying the mark is going to be on our bodies. And that is the only mark shared by NPC's who survived the calamity like us, hence my assumption..

Not sure what you mean by body? you mean cloth or our skin? if you mean it's not going to be on our skin then that wrong Yoshi-p said it going to be a tattoo we can turn off and on whenever we like.

yoshi-p said he wont release how the tattoo look just yet once we closer to release he would show it or maybe sometime around beta.

[Kirito]

Maybe that mark is on our underwear! That's why it doesn't show

Or they all turned it off xD

Well two of the heroes have the mark and that clock thing already... so we probably need to see if any more of them have them on the next videos...

And since two npc's have the mark on their clothes... I think we could assume we may have a choice of placement of the mark....

[Catapult]

He has the same mark...

Yes. And that is Thancred, sexiest member of the circle of knowing.
The argument remains weak.

I kind of don't care about any marks on the NPCs that were not banished to the timeless rift alongside us.

I care about the PC representations (the five heros). What have they got?

A set of dirty, battle-worn AF and chocobos? (Not to mention Derplander left his Bravura behind so if anything he comes into ARR with less. ).

As for that eye mark on Y'shtola's outfit, perhaps it's meant to represent the Echo/Path of the Twelve? (although from what I was aware it was never stated directly in 1.0 that the members of the Circle have the Echo, during the Gridania storyline in one cutscene Papalymo actually mentions 'the Echo has sounded', suggesting that he at least knows of it's existence - not to mention he and Yda actually shared an Echo-vision with the player during that mission, viewing Khrimm torching the Hedgetree, so it's highly likely they too are Echo-users). The image of an open eye does seem to hint at the power of the Echo and those 'awakened' to it.

Or maybe I'm just reading far too much into something that Square Enix Visual Works probably just threw into that video to troll us. :P

[Altera]

I am so excited for FFXIV ARR.
I got goosebumps from watching the trailer ^.^

This is the only thing I read related to it tbh, and it doesn't say it's a tattoo... Only some kind of mark.

こんばんは。Good evening,

いつのかは忘れましたが、プロデューサーレターにて『第七霊災を生き抜いた証が冒険者に刻まれる』との発言があったと記憶しています。Forgot when but I remember there was a statement in one of the producer letters stating that there will be something engraved onto the adventurers that shows they lived through the 7th Umbral Era.

当時の発表では実際に目に見える形で体に刻印されるのか、称号が付与されるのかは検討中だったはずですが、もうそろそろ仕様が確定していてもおかしくない時期ですね。
『暁の戦士』という称号は確かに雰囲気も良いし賛成ですが、開発側も考えているでしょうし今後の発表を待っても良いのではないかと思います。At that time they were looking into it being something that can be seen visibile or just a title but I think it should be around the timing this information is confirmed. I agree with the title but I think the development side is also thinking about this so I think it's good to wait for the announcement.

以前プロデューサーレターLIVEで、現在プレイしている方には、「今を生きて戦った証としてキャラクターの外見的な特徴がつくようになる」とお伝えしていますが、身体に何かしらの証が入る予定です。証がキャラクターに刻まれてしまうのは、ちょっと......という方もいらっしゃると思いますので、表示にON/OFFはつける予定です。In previous producer letter LIVE we mentioned to those currently playing we are planning to have some type of feature that shows that you lived and fought through. There may be those that don't want the mark to be shown on the character so we are planning to have an option to have display ON/OFF.

どんなカタチの証が入ることやら……
What kind of mark will this be........

I might be wrong though, where did you read that it's a tattoo?

Do you know how hard it would be to put the logo on every cloth in eorzea and make sure it fit and you can see it? I don't think the tattoo would be on your cloths i think it going to be on your skin that more easy to do them make sure every gear from ARR too day that ffxiv look good with the logo. If it going to be on the cloth it would be the starting gear and that it you wont see it on every gear in the game that just make no sense.

I think there just on them because they don't change cloth and they have a tattoo showing from circle of knowing. Not saying your wrong just very unlikely to be on every cloth in the game.

For the strange steam-punk like clock and goggles devices the Circle have, maybe it's to measure distortions in the aether? From all the gobbledeegook that Erik used it seems possible to me anyway. Hell, maybe they are even awaiting Derplander and his team of adventurer's (the players) return by hoping to find a distortion large enough to return us back from the rift.

Maybe? :P

No, the video clearly showed his Bravura lying on the ground next to him with it's blade sharp end down towards the end of the End of an Era part - you can still see it lying there with it's handle sticking up after Lou teleports him into the Rift just as Megaflare swamps the area.

So yeah, he kind of violated the fundamentals of the Armoury System with that one.
