XI Wiki
Neat I guess. I just hope it's new concept art and not hi-res stuff sitting in the PDFs.Hidden Artifacts
Greetings adventurers!
With excitement building as FINAL FANTASY XIV Version 2.0 draws near, we know you're all dying to learn more about what the future has in store. Well, you’ll be pleased to hear that we were able to sweet-talk the development team (don't ask) into sharing intriguing 2.0 concept art with us. But there's just one catch: the image is hidden behind a series of panels, and you must work together with fellow community members if you wish to behold it in all its glory!
We've prepared a list of questions, and a panel will be removed for each one answered correctly. Below are the details of the event.

When was E3 this year? While I don't mind concept art, I'm hoping for some actual information soonish.

So uh... that picture confused the hell out of me at first. I guess the "panels" are removed from that blue rectangle. Would've been nice to either put the picture at the end, or make some distinctly panel-sized outlines, maybe with some question marks. At first, I thought they screwed up and uploaded the wrong image.
I wonder how often they intend to update that picture, 'cause the first question was answered several hours ago.

Interesting...
I'm flipping through their "attachments" to see what there is to see back there. I guess there's a different one per language? Here's some pictures...
Spoiler: show
Also in their attachments interspersed between the "panel" images are pictures of the Arcanist's Guild. I wonder why.

Looks like it, also, some (if not all) aren't exactly "new." Someone posted a pic from the CE art book and the JP one is indeed a behemoth:

Stupid. Seems like they are trying to give us as little information as possible over a longer period of time without seeming like they are giving us nothing. The questions are things like "what npc gives linkshells in limsa?"
Isn't that the behemoth art that's in the collector's edition book?... lol Originally Posted by Corrderio

The german one reminds of the Cocktrice like mob that was found in the .DATs a while back. Was blue with orange feathers.

I hope one of those turns out to be a "Sahagin". For as much as they're mentioned in Limsa lore, we still have no clue what they look like.
