Anyone Notice...

That the Legatus' helms are EXACTLY the same shape and design of Odin's helm in FFXI, the boss Odin, not his rewarded helm.

I now think that Odin might be the ruler of the Garlean Empire, or the leader might have that nickname. The similarity is shocking to me, they most have some relation to odin. Maybe he is their avatar they worship?

I just checked and Odin's horns go up, while the Legatus' go down. It might be a stretch but you might have something their with the idea that he might be Garlemald's Primal.

Yeah I saw my brother fight the Odin Prime fight to summon him. When saw his face I literally said "STOP! Don't press anything!" I got up walked over to his tv and traced the horns and my brother immediately got the connection without me saying anything.

ooooo clap clap clap clap. the Odin and Garlean thing.
Good eye. Well if it's true lol

I like this idea !

It's A. Yoshida. Most of the games he has worked on have these horn helmets. While they look cool I wouldn't read too much into it.

LOL Jin loving the signature yet again loooool and I'm not sure if the garleans would have Odin as a Primal, since they hate them and refer to them as Eikons? Just from what I gathered :)

This would be a pretty traditional FF twist. Garleans call all Primals false gods while being lead by one who wants to destroy all the others.

However I think you'd need more to go on than just a helmet. They're also similar to the Judge helmets from FFTA and FF12.

Ding ding ding!! Tell him what he's won, Bob!!!

I think this might be a bit far-fetched, myself.

We should definently speculate alot more, just because the slight chance of devs being inspired by our thoughts.

It seems now that major change is on the horizon our devs have the opportunity to braid eorzea full of Final Fantasy elements, just like this eventual Odin thing, It reminds me of FF9 and how the evil queen wants to sort of enslave the Eikons to do her dirty laundry. I think it would be a winner move to add these kind of comprehensive themes into Eorzea.

I find it more similar to the Judges from 12. But all that armor is similar in style to Odin.

The legatus designs are clearly based off XII's judges, I wouldn't read much into em.

I agree with the suits of armor being similar to the judge style, but Legatus Darnus and the one from the Rank 46 mission helmets are exactly designed the same, minus the color and the angle of the horns, as Odins. It too coincidental to me.

It's odin!!!

But seriously, the two Legatus we've seen have pretty different helmets, and I don't think the intention is to base them off Odin any more than the other entries we've seen of such helmets and their frequency in history. I do think it'd be cool if the Primal they're trying to summon is Odin, however.
