i90 AF and the 'Primal' weapons.

The problem with the whole gigantic thing is with how SE has distinguished bosses from regular versions of things. Look at the pirate in Sastasha for example. He's way too big to be a regular Hyur, he dwarfs those Roegs, and I'm actually pretty disappointed in how bosses have to be blown-up in proportion though I understand why from the game stand point...makes it easier for PS3 to target, another bad example of over-large beings being the Moogles in Good King Moggle Mog XIIth fight. Nael Van Darnus was pretty big, very tall, Elezen like in stature. Now if he's truly descended from Allagans and all Allagans are the size of Acheron, that's a huge leap in evolution for them to get so small in just around 5000 years. Bottle that magic up and sell it to people on diets.

hell, it doesn't even take a thousand years, the difference between Dalamund and Bahamut is sloppy handwriting, remove the middle part of B and it becomes D, remove the right part of h and it's l, and an accidental smudge could make t look like a d.

And this works for both eorzean script and english


as for the gods being heroes of the allagan empire, I may have things a bit mixed up, but doesn't Nym predate Allag? in which case the gods=heroes thing would be impossible since they were around in Nymian times, or at least Oschon was

Nym was destroyed in the Sixth Umbral Era, "some fifteen centuries ago" after the War of the Magi, as a result of the tonberry sickness.

Not that it makes the possibilities I mentioned any more plausible; it just doesn't contradict that part, lol.

There IS another option as well..That like the tonberry are mutations of one group then the gigants are mutated Allag.

See that Tonberry sickness could have had a variant that got the Allag as well...Or maybe the giants ARE the allag and what they were all along just that they lost their tech.

i highly doubt that, seeing as how the armor in the Ragnarok is tailored from lalafell to roe sized.

unless the allag made slaves of the other races and used them as foot-soldiers...hmm...
