I was to venture a guess, I would say it is Castle Zvahl.

This is where everyone is getting the date from atleast where they are saying it comes from.

I'm not an expert - but that looks like a shitload of japanese. I could make out the 11 and the 22 tho

[Slayzer]

Lavos err...Atomos...devour of time!

Wow you sure your not? You nailed that one right on the head.

[GaelWanderling]

Oh right i forgot about the whole going back in time so guess that area was much more active with the war and all... >.>;;

11 ?22 ? = November 22 in JP. Babelfish told me so.

[Elmer the Pointy]

That confirms it then, unless Taj photoshopped it.

Wings of the Goddess will release on November 22nd.

The article comments on Amano's illustration and debates over whether the Chocobos are coming out of the mouth or about to be eaten by it.

Apparently the young boy and the Chocobo Knights will have some importance in the story.

[Kononeko]

So with it coming out the same week as the fan fest, I would think that there might be some copies of WotG that might be up for grabs at the fan fest.

Edited because of confirmation.

Yes Babelfish told me that as well, the majority of the beginning of this thread was people wondering were it came from =D.

SO! it is a giant mouth/void thingie... i still think it's atomos... but then again i'm a sucker for summons...

I would have assumed that boy is Aldo (Aldo is the kid who was in the opening movie) and WotG would have followed his life to current and we would see how Vana turned out over the years, but seeing how Aldo is currently, I dont think I could picture him as a Chocobo Knight? Perhapse he wanted vengence when he was younger, joined the Knights, but after years he became weary of the Archduke and started up the Tenshodo?

I got nothin.

[Toth]

Very interesting. I wonder if this confirms that the new jobs will be officially announced this weekend at the TGS.


P.S Love the Amano artwork!

Also the fact the kid is an Elvaan and Aldo's Hume.

At least I assume the kid pictured in the lower left of the poster (the same one shown to us as the leader of the Young Griffons) is the Chocobo Knight (I'd assume so)- not to mention he has ears sticking out of his hair! (No hume does that GAWD)

In short:
Aldo is a hume
The kid on the bird is Elvaan
It is impossible

Maybe one this weekend.. one during Fanfest... still is it me or does this expansion seem to have much less hype than TOUA? they haven't even updated the main page for WOTG exept for the two trailers... TOUA had all that armour and monster lore..

Gamespot has a no TOUCHY rule on games before release date... they supposely can fire you for that. >.>... dont think WOTG is worth someones job.

If your manager isn't a complete hardass, you can generally take the game home and play it, and ring it up on release day. Not kosher in the least, but it's done.

That's how I got Doom3 and HL2 like a week early.

[Meropi]

Both EB Games and Gamestop around here have an annoying habit of NOT getting FFXI releases until the day after release. This means that I will have to break my "No shopping on Black Friday" rule this year. And this was the first year that I wasn't going to be working /sigh.
