Hidden Artifacts is an Insult!

Square Enix:

We have painstakingly procured ALL-NEW concept art from the development team precisely for this purpose

September 22, 2010, Collectors Edition

May 16th, 2012, Hidden Artifacts

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...

Edit: Square Enix has now changed their front page so it does not say "all new" anymore. Thankyou for clearing that up ^^

[Molly_Millions]

That mob isn't in the game yet, therefore it is new.

Even if you haven't seen it before, Pulp Fiction is not a new movie.

Doesn't matter if its in the game or not...."ALL NEW CONCEPT ART" is not that new....another lie by Square Enix

[Gold_Lion]

The fact is its old concept art -SEs' claims of new concept art is an insult to the intelligence of me and the player community. Also the people who frequent the lodestone updates are the older playerbase.

All of this is a trick to dust off the art books :O
