The new concept screenshot is a real-time in-game render!

One of my reasons for not believing that this image was an actual in-game image was that one of the characters doesn't have a last name.. but I guess it could just be a NPC.

I think they might be referring to the "Braveheart" in the center screen, however it's my conclusion that P1 is Delita Heiral, and they've made it so that you don't see your own character's name floating over their head (since you know who you are), and the "Braveheart" is a temporary title, like the other party members' "Dragonslayer", "Materia Hunter", etc.

It is definately the T1 characters UI, as the HP/MP is the same.

Also you can see a big green 865 over the main character on the screen, and in the chat log, shows her name next to the number.

The char who doesn't have a last name. That not even his name that's an title just look @ the pic more closely

damn, amazing! I thought it was an artists rendering too. One thing though what is that choco doing there? I hope we can fight while riding our birds, not just next to them, if that's what's going on here.

Yep, that's going to be an implemented feature, along with further-gearing your bird.

Don't like addons?

Don't use them and shut the kupo up.

Sometimes it's not as simple as that. Some addons become necessities.

I'd be willing to bet that if/when an add-on becomes a necessity over a perk, there would be more than one version to cater to different players' aesthetic tastes and preferences.

Also, I don't see anyone complaining about action bar and status icons in XIV having timers, but ho-LAWD did people wave their doucheflags when they found out some XI players used Windower's version of the same thing.
