Well, from the angle of how the adventurers got "eaten" by Bismarck, maybe we kill him from inside, ala Pinocchio (already see the puns coming)? Maybe Cerberus was a first test in this.

Where is this 3.0 Benchmark people are talking about? I haven't seen a video for it yet.

This is the clip that showed Bismarck.

Seeing Bismark roaming freely like a wild animal certainly raises more questions on the true nature of primals.

...Of course, it could also mean nothing, as we saw Ifrit being fought in Central Thanalan in the original benchmark.

Leviathan also was roaming the sea when we baited him into attacking us and slew him. Ramuh could have easily roamed between when he was summoned and when we fought him, but he only wanted to protect the Sylphs

Another good point. Leviathan was also seemingly roaming the seas in the 1.0 Limsa Lominsa opening scene, though never again seen after that.

That was confirmed to be "a sea serpent," but all circumstances surrounding it remain unknown. Lominsan lore would have us believe that it was the legendary Thalaos, one of two great serpents chained to a wandering island called Swallowtail Roam so they wouldn't drown the world. Well, a mysterious island showed up, a giant serpent showed up... but the seas didn't rise, and the serpent hasn't been seen again...and you can never trust Lominsans using the word Thalaos, they call every big(ish) serptent(ish) thing Thalaos. I have my own theory on it, but little evidence.

Ah, but was it confirmed to not be Leviathan? Because, Leviathan is a sea serpent who would love nothing more than to drown the world and "those who confirm" can be rather sly about it.

Looking closely it's not Leviathan, just a really big fish.
