Ravana was the 2nd one.

the second Primal's name is Ravana and it will be a FFXIV Orginal ^^

Awesome and epic, but I wonder how long those models take to make.. Can't imagine seeing that done quickly (at all).

The second one has me a bit afraid, it looks fast and it has many swords - going to be one crazy fight lol.

looks like a bettle

Sorry, I hate to be that person... but Ravana's actually a boss from Vagrant Story. Not strictly Final Fantasy, but still Ivalice.

well there's not just the modelling :) there's the conceptualization also, so from start->finish, it takes a while, for sure.
They said the main sculptor spent 3 years, sculpting all the characters/mobs/etc, in the game.

they are using names from many places. most Primal names, come from various myths, around the world.

Looks like Sin mated with a bird.

I had to check really fast on wiki! You're right!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravana

"Rāvaṇa is the primary antagonist in the Hindu epic Ramayana, where he is depicted as the rakshasa and asura king of Lanka. Rama had once addressed Ravana as a "Maha Brahman" (Great Brahmam in the context of his education). Rāvaṇa is depicted and described as having ten heads. He is described as a follower of Shiva, a great scholar, a capable ruler and a maestro of the veena, but someone who wished to overpower the devas. His ten heads represents that his knowledge of the six shastras and the four Vedas. In the Ramayana, Rāvaṇa is the antagonist, kidnapping Rama's wife Sita to exact vengeance on Rama and his brother Lakshmana for having cut off the nose of his sister Surpanakha."

It looks like Sin when it sprouts wings.

I'd believe it, if everything is to this standard of quality I'm surprised he went so fast lol, I've always been impressed by SE's graphic capabilities (even the classic ones).

Thanks for the pictures btw :)

He meant it was an all new Primal, that hasn't existed in any other FF games, before.
Ravana :)
So it doesn't originally come from Vagrant story, either

It technically is, as I believe Ravana wasn't a boss actually? But a normal enemy in Vagrant Story. It's like saying how the XI Garuda wasn't a FFXI Original because it was a normal mob in previous games.

Nonetheless, the only similarity between the two are the numerous limbs. They look very different in appearance:

Yay!! Finally two totally new primals that aren't reskinned versions of FFXI's!

Wonder if Ravana will tie into Gilgamesh gaining his additional arms.

Unlikely since that is happening before 3.0.

Ravana has the same roots as the Naraka monster family in XI. Given what those monsters are like I expect this Primal will be brutal.

Here's the picture you missed.

I like it.

This actually follows the way summons are introduced in the rest of the series quite well. They start with a core group of well-established ones, almost always with Ifrit, Shiva, and Bahamut. Then Leviathan, Ramuh, and Titan are often added as well. After a good amount of previously used summons is in, then they start adding unique or semi-unique ones just for that game.

Ravana look like same from FFXI Naraka http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Category:Naraka

im a little scared of that one 4 arms and all swords i dont think he understands we arent food you can chop up and eat ~_~

Now I honestly didn't expect Bismarck, who is somehow a bird instead of a fish. I was sure we would get Alexander.

The thought of RavanaEX, gives me nerdgasm :)

it's maybe something along the line of a mantis.

Bismarck design reminds me of Zodiark from XII

Actually after finding another image at a different angle
that FF11 mob kind of looks like a big skeleton wearing samurai armor.
http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...%28FFXI%29.png

looks great

Glad I typically play ranged or healers now-a-days. I don't want that thing anywhere near me. o.O *hides under blanket*

Oh look. There's some similarities to the Ravana in Hindu lore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravana
I wonder if that giant ant is hiding more arms.

new Bismarck Primal seem mix Zodiark with Bismarck

http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...0/Bismarck.jpg

http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...iark-ffxii.png

Ravana reminds me of Asura, from Final Fantasy IV. Four arms and four swords.

Looks pretty cool.

Ah I'm not alone in thinking this then.

Still don't understand why Bismarck is a bird now.

Whale Bird. I have a feeling he's a flying blubbery envoy of doom. like his chubby chubby worshippers the Vanu Vanu. Aren't you so adorable you chubby birdy owl men *continues to taunt the new Beast Tribe until he gets killed*

Kind of...

Very reminiscent of Hahava (forgot what his family was called) in XI:
