Hidden Artifacts is an Insult!

Most would expect 2.0 concept art is just that 2.0 concept art, not something that was in 1.0 concept art and slapping on a 2.0 label.

That's like ordering Medium Fries and then they say we'll give you a free upgrade to Large and you're like AWESOME but what they actually did was put those Medium Fries in a Large Container. If you're one of those that see's the bigger container and goes OMFG THAT IS AWESOME!! I'm all happy for you but I know what I got was still the same Medium Fries I ordered originally.

I didn't use subligar as an example...... feels weird...

Yes, but I have a better analogy.

It's like you're a freshmen in college, being assigned a term paper in English class, and you're supposed to write on a new topic, doing new research and all that. But you're lazy and you decide to just reuse your High School Senior term report. And bam! Your college professor has never seen it before, so it's "new" to him. For all you care, he won't know. But it's cutting corners, and if someone figures it out, you'll get in trouble.

Wow. Lol SE

I actually couldn't care less about this image being "recycled"; they are busy preparing for E3, and that's where we will get our news. All the people complaining here just need to realise this.

First world problems..... Also, lol @ the tags for this thread.

Square Enix:


September 22, 2010, Collectors Edition

Interesting how our CE Book's are different!

I did also find it annoying that they took time to create hype over something that we have already seen... I of course am looking forward to 2.0 like everyone else but really...no one is going to /fangirlscream over something we saw in Sept 2010 which only serves to remind me of how LONG it's been and yet still so many much more important issues are still not fixed.

Also when I saw the word Artifact, I like many others were expecting something far more different then a mob shot ^^;

Releasing concepts on housing, battle or any of the many other topics that are widely being looked forward to however would have been better received I think.

Also I think the orange pic is going to be a fish mob like the Fastitocalon-F from FFVIII

I wasn't aware that recycling old content and pretending its new development was a "painstaking procedure". With all the consistent hype about the release of Final Fantasy XIV 2.0, the least Square Enix could do is give the players some actual new development content. It is both disappointing and ostentatious of Square Enix to release the same concept art that came with the Collector's Edition as the 'new exiting 2.0 content'. While it might not be implemented in the game currently, It is something many of us have seen before. It only took someone 5 minutes to recognize the artwork...

Overreaction much?

1) This event is supposed to be a fun game.

2) Not everything is a conspiracy.

3) Yoshida-san wasn't on the grassy knoll on Nov 22nd 1963.

Seriously though you're taking a partially revealed image and using it to defame an entire event that has only just begun. It's just as possible that this one image reflects an oversight on the part of a development team that picked up the project after the CE materials were well past the approval phase. Even then others who didn't buy the CE and want to see this can have fun participating in the event, or wait no you just spoiled it for them....

Pretty much this right here ^

I was all for the event until this thread appeared, now I just don't care. Call it whatever you want but 'fun' isn't what I'm feeling right now. More like meh...

Summer is almost here anyway, hope we get some goodies then.
