The development of B6 should be done soon, if not already finished, so Paizo probably want some surprises to be left before release date.
Development has been done for a few months, in fact. It's very close to heading out to the printer. What ramifications that has on the schedule of previews remains to be seen.
I hope that means that when it does go to the printer we will get the final cover art.

It doesn't.
The reveal of the final cover and cover art is independent to a certain extent of the book shipping to the printer, although that date DOES indicate the starting point of the countdown to that reveal, since the cover is usually one of the last things to get finalized.

I don't really see it as deviation. Someone asked for a thing that Paizo doesn't intend to produce, and the developers took some time (out of their busy schedules) to recommend products that would match their desires.
It has always been one of Paizo's greatest attributes: that a number of their developers/designers/editors eagerly interact with their fans. It's a wonderful thing that gets fans interested more in Paizo's stuff (and in other things that Paizo's folks like and recommend) and I'm deeply appreciative of it myself. :)

Yeah I heard if you don't talk about linnorms a death curse will afflict the next person to post without mentioning them.

Azis, Taniwhas, and Native American Horned Serpents. That is what we need.

A monster that uses love in it's purest energy form to blast it's enemies....interesting.

Honestly, I really hope the new dragons look radically different from each outer. It made sense with the imperial dragons, but the Occult and Outer dragons just being reskins is frustrating when there is so much potential there.
I really like the Outer Dragons. :-)

I agree, they were so much alike...

The First World gives us the Gerbie, which kinda fit this.

Well now you've done it.
I personally recommend Advanced Bestiary to anybody who wants more templates.
Agree whole-heartedly. In fact, the primary reason I backed the Freeport Kickstarter was because they said they'd redo the Advanced Bestiary if Freeport was successful :)
I actually really like the designs of the occult dragons, except for the actual occult dragon. But I agree about the outer dragons' design, they really lacked.

What I hope for this new set of dragons is that they aren't counterparts in appearance. I mean, the dream and the nightmare dragons are just a good and evil version of the same design. The good and the evil outer dragon should be completely different from each other. Just like the celestial and fiends.

That is why I never like the pathfinder dragons, they are just the same with some different abilities and colores.
I really liked the bestiary 2 dragons though, really awesome!

The problem with the true dragons lies in their lack of background.
Dragons Revisited gave the first two sets of true dragons a meaning in the setting, as did a bunch of other products. On the other hand, we know close to nothing about the imperial, the outer and the occult dragons - nothing about their ecology, their society, not even about the relationship between these 15 breeds.
The primal dragons (B2) had a greater opportunity to conquer their rule in the setting as they had small but numerous appearances in many products, like Dragons Unleashed or Planes of Power, in which we got to know more about their society and goals.
I have nothing against new true dragons in Bestiary 6 - especially as they are from the Outer Sphere - but a book like Dragons Revisited/Unleashed 2... Well... I don't think there is a need to say how many of us would be pleased with that.
I would love some more revisited/unleashed books for dragon and other creatures.
I wanna see obscure mythology monsters unleased, Buggane, Abaia, Karkadann, Mngwa, Papinijuwana (or the meteor cyclops) and some others.

Ironfang Invasion's covers were just updated so I imagine the update on this one is imminent.
If it's update had anything to do with the Ironfang Invasion's update then it would have updated yesterday. Not to say it is impossible to updated this week, i am just not going to hold my breath on it.
Or maybe right before Paizo closes for Christmas;)

If Krampus is on the cover then it would be a good time for the update;)
Ithink they will do that quiz again, but a week before release (for pre-releases) so Dragon78 already knows which monsters are there because he already owns the book.
They should start early januari with that lizz-without-lizz quiz.
If I am lucky to get the PDF that early.
I wonder whether the May hardback is about to slip now? We once again supposedly have hardbacks coming out in two successive months.
MOVED TO APRIL 2017!
Lol is that the only freaking news we are getting from the bestiary? Moved to november2017 is the next message
Selfish, if you don't have enough money you can buy the product later.
Well that is disappointing.
