Attention: Spoilers Ahead!

For those not yet acquainted with the FFXIV Dawntrail AAC Light-heavyweight Arcadion raids, these encounters simulate championship battles at Solution Nine. Players confront bosses that have harnessed the souls of various monsters, resulting in visually distinct forms and unique combat abilities. For instance, Honey B Lovely draws power from a Queen Bee, while Brute Bomber channels the abilities of a Bomb King during their fights.

The recently revealed concept art for these characters showcases their transformed appearances. The colorful renditions of Brute Bomber and Honey B Lovely illustrate the full scope of their designs, which inspired their in-game models. In addition, more monochrome images highlight intricate details and incorporate distinct elements from the monsters that influence these bosses.

Here’s a look at the concept art for both characters:
