Oh snap, I forgot about the post-timeskip scenes from the previous trailers.

Ooh, that means there's gonna be another CG cutscene.

I'm so stoked. :D

In XI, he was equally neutral; that is he didn't differentiate between "good" and "bad" when sucking people up into his void.

On another note, there is a legit resemblance between Odin of XI and the facial armor of Darnus and Baelsar.

Could the Garleans have been the ones to summon him? o_O Maybe Baelsar himself? He was against the whole "cleansing" idea from the start.

One interesting thing is that Odin in real mythology is supposed to show up at Ragnarok and rally the dead warriors to fight on the side of the gods. Could this be running parallel? and the dead warriors be the other Primals? maybe why they needed to be felled? and the gods be the twelve? Also he's attributed along with his two brothers for creating the realm of mankind and mankind itself so he could easily be the Garlean/Hyur Primal.

Yeah I know we'll eventually have answers, but it's still fun to speculate and come up with theories :)
