This seems more than a coincidence, if you ask me. SE is known for being attent to detail. I doubt its just a fluke.

Then again, I don't think there are 14 FFs. Just a renaming issue... so maybe that disproves it? lol

Um there are more then 14 FF games... though there are only 14 Final Fantasy games number 1 - 14 or I - XIV...

The cat is bemused =-.-=

Not sure how we can become a empire class/job without being part of the empire. Not if you tell me a empire person came to eorzea and give us weps like what Cid is doing making us airship. I wont mind a gunblade if the storyline behind it make sense if it does not then no thanks.

Nael comes back in ARR as a spirit who wishes to repent for his sins and wants everyone forgive his madness as it was driven by the all seeing eyes wreathed in megaflare... Bahamut.

Nael teaches you how to become a gunwielding badass.

In FFXII there are two judges who quit the empire. And so they quit their cool armor.

Otherwise it'd be like a nazi soldier who regrets being in the nazi movement, quits, and keeps wearing his uniform. It'd make no sense.

Also Judge/Legatus is a rank. You'd have to start out as soldier and rank up to get your weapon/uniform upgraded.

I doubt SE would put the resources to make a separate plot in which you can choose to aid with the empire and rank up bla bla bla.

Not to mention each Legatus is in command of 6k soldiers if I recall. :P

If Legatus armor were a really rare drop on the other hand... that'd be cool as hell.

Like having each judge have a hard mode fight (nael hard tier of difficulty), and each drops one piece of gear. We already have the earrings... that's one step in. lol

Personally I'd make the drop limited edition. But I see two ways that this could follow.

First Method: Limited edition

• Beat the fight within a period of time set by SE since the fight was released in order to obtain the judge drop.
• If beaten after the period, the drop will have the same stats, but the drop will be changed to a non judge looking piece of equipment.

This isn't because I'm a hipster, but because otherwise we'd eventually have everyone dressed in judge gear.

Second Method: Difficulty

• Make all fights HARDER than nael hard, and make them capped. So raising level caps don't mess with their difficulty.
• Doesn't matter when you beat it, you get the judge drop.

I guess people will prefer the second.

It was mentionned Legion soldiers are more loyal to their commander than to their Emperor.
They only kept fighting with Eorzean alliance thinking Nael was still alive and following his order till the end.
So, I don't think Nael's troops will swear allegiance to a new leader, the 7th Legion may be disbanded entirely.

A community manager also wrote that the japanese version of FFXIV didn't use the word "legatus" or "legion", it's only the result of the english adaptation. I think the german word was different too. It's probably better not to think over the accuracy of the Legatus system.

It was only Nael's legion which was loyal to him. Because he was some sort of spiritual leader.

The system in which each legion is divided is pretty specific...

And if we know 2 legatus, and each has 1 legion, it wouldn't be crazy to say (regardless of the word they are using to refer to them) that its 1 legatus = 1 legion.

And since SE posted there are 14 legions, we are deducing each has one leader. Thus, 14 legatus.

But what about a Judge in itself >.> I mean you could say the same about the Paladins of Uldah... freelance Judge could work o.O/ I mean a Paladin is a gladiator who just happened to take the training of a Paladin which were sworn to the sultanate of Uldah right... give judges the whole Keeping the Laws pure case or something o.O judges who protects the laws of the land or something it could work I'm just saying!~

11-28-2012. CALLED IT!

Yeah, I agree that the First legion will likely be headed by their Emperor (Solus)... so that means there could be at least another eleven Legati (maybe even up to 20 of them exist, who knows).

Plus, the survivors of Nael's VIIth legoin may have likely been absorbed by Gaius' XIVth while the Garleans rejuvinate a new seventh legion back at their capital. That is, if they haven't already done so... which makes me join the concensus that our spiffy Elezen female in white could be their new leader.

Either that, or she may just be a top-ranking aide to Gaius.

I will become the only Lalafell Legatus! D:<

14 eh? 14 for me to hunt down then.

I have a feeling a couple are going to end up dead by hands that aren't ours

It'd be interesting to see a Lalafell and Miqo'te Legatus because they're from the southern small-island chain continent(s). Roegadyn are from the north, we don't know where Elezen came from but clearly Nael was an Elezen with his build, and Hyur are the most numerous race.

Well Darnus was clearly Elezen, I'm guessing Gaius is Hyur. You can see a Roe Legatus in the trailer, and the other two of undetermined race (Either Hyur or Elezen), one seems to be female.

I was seriously hoping for a Lalafell Legatus......

Most Garleans are probably Elezen..looking at Nael van Darnus he was said to have been a descendant of an Allagan family. I'd say most of us Loremongers would argue that the Allagans were predominately an Elezen society. It may still be possible for Lalafell and Miqo'te Legatus, after all Eorzea and the southern island chain-continent can't be the only places where Lalafell and Miqo'te settled. But both races have 1 thing in common a branch of the race is more adapted for desert climates and since Islabard is far to the north I'd assume it's a cold northern climate which Dunesfolk Lalafell and Sun Seeker Miqo'te wouldn't be adapted for, but maybe I'm going into it too much lol. I'm sure it's still possible though.

Nahhh, we'll run out of bad guys to hate... I'm actually still missing Darnus and his psychotic elegance.

BTW, your sig is just utter and complete WIN.

Why thank you :3

So a male Roegadyn. Another male Elezen. And a female Elezen, seems too tall to be a female Hyur as she's barely shorter than the male Elezen. And interesting note, if Gaius' helm is similar to Ultima Weapon. I noticed the Roegadyn's helm is similar to a Behemoth. The red helm seems awfully familiar but I can't pin point it and the white helm I dunno.

Wrong. It's a male highlander.

Yeah which totally blew my mind when a friend told me. Did not expect a Highland Hyur to be apart of the Empire, even if they did take over Ala Mhigo. But this does open the door for Lalafell and Miqo'te. Whole view on the Garlean Empire is changed now.

Thanks for putting this up... I was actually looking around for a thread that would discuss this guy. I have a feeling he's definitely going to be integral to the ARR story

Also we know he's below Gaius in rank.

Gaius is the only Legatus whose Legion is actively in Eorzea.

Er, do you mean Nero? Nero's a Tribune and a member of the Frumentarii as referenced above
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frumentarii

He's part of the XIVth Legion and works for Gaius.
