Does nobody else find the white coloring of the female Legatus on the right...discomforting? A legacy of the White Raven? His apprentice? A lover? A competitor?

I doubt Nael would have been called the White Raven unless he was the only Legatus to wear the white armor...so something about her feels connected by the fact that she is also wearing white Legatus armor.

I doubt there's going to be any real deep connection like that just from the color of their armor. Gaius is called the Black Wolf, but there's a character next to him wearing even more black.

I'm more curious by what animal names they get nick named, assuming that's going to be the case (White Raven, Black Wolf, Red Lobster, ect).

While I agree that you are most likely correct, something still feels like it's being intentionally done. Yes, there are other Legatus in black armor, but this is more in line with the traditional Imperial look. Even the one with more red still seems to fall into this line.

But the white armor was something that made Nael stand out in 1.0 and become something of an iconic look as far as FFXIV villains go. I'm finding it hard to believe that the design team arbitrarily gave this new female Legatus the white color scheme without taking into consideration what it could represent.

Again, you're likely right, but I am a fan of speculation.
