Shiva model!

Just like how it was obvious in 1.0 beta that it was only a beta and that everything would change before release? We see how that turned out.

Exactly. There was too much room for doubt. Maybe the forums as a whole overreacted, myself included, but I still think Fern's confirmation was needed to put minds at ease.

Please state which promise Yoshi-P and team did not deliver/turned out completely different during his reign in 1.0

seriously.. using old dev team mistakes to criticize new team development...its getting old and boring now, cant you stop it?

There are those of us who aren't happy with EVERY choice Yoshi-P and friends have made. I think he's the best director they could have picked, but I'm still wondering why he decided to ditch 1.23b's wonderful battle system in favor of Global Cooldowns. I know it's not a matter of copy/paste, but it could not have been hard to replicate. We'll just have to see in beta and the final product.

To be honest this thread is still much better than the Grass thread. Let's all stop arguing over whether or not we were right to question the Shiva images and start giving feedback on Shiva herself. It's a beautiful and detailed model and I can't wait to see her intro cutscene.

It's pretty obvious when you look at the concept art
I feel sorry for Fernehalwes for having to clear up something so obvious

Look at zone concept art and then look at the zones in FFXIV... nothing alike (at least in 1.0) lol

Its not obvious, specially when you have no idea what that software was. I know the basics and to me it having color meant that it was nearing final completion.

That said some people filled everyone in on what that software was - and why the colors are not the final/real colors, even made us cute pictures .

I like to bake.

As I've been glossing over these forums in the past few weeks, I find myself ever more fervently wishing that I could bake pies, cookies, cakes and cupcakes for the dev team.

*sigh*

Ferne is lying, the rendered model must be closer to final product, Im always right and everyone else is wrong

Fernehalwes

You are my hero.

[Babydoll]

Fernehalwes as always you win the internets hehe

Also..how come when Fernehalwes posts it does not count as a dev post on the dev tracker? o.o

Seriously, just put Elexia on Ignore. You'll be far happier. She isn't interested in real discussion. She is either trolling out of boredom, or so wrapped up in some bizarre world of hyperbole that rational discourse just isn't possible. Either way, the best response is to 'Ignore.'

I don't know I like the new Shiva model. She was always one of my favorite summons. Here she looks great. I'm sure they're not done yet but it looks great so far
