When are we gonna kill the real actual Odin??

[HumsterMKX]

Uh... could it be... Odin is actually mind controlling us.. to see what he wanted you to view himself to be?

Sorry guys i guess i'm missing something here. I didn't notice that Odin have different models (maybe due to the crowd), but when you guys say his shape depends on who delivers the final blow, what do you mean exactly? We can check Odin shape when he's killed?

I guess like sometimes he has boobs and is smaller sized? Not sure you can really tell much else about him with that full armor.

You can see Odin without his helmet, and he will look like the character who dealt the final blow last time. He will also take their name and I THINK general body shape.

@Humster: Odin is a Primal, so my personal opinion is that all of the fighting sort of summons Odin, and his form takes the shape of whoever is the most powerful warrior i.e. Whoever dealt the killing hit.

Well we are facing the real Odin his lore is in the game, like bahamut Odin is a elder primal so requires no beast tribe to summon him he freed himself iirc from his ather in urths fountain and wanders the shroud in search of a challenge worthy of himself. When defeated he retreats and grows stronger taking the form of the one who fell him tho I have seen in the early days on my first server when people wipe to him the former name is removed and he takes his orginal form and is just Odin with out the player name attached. Only seen his real face once when I got lucky and he spawned on me while in the shroud I'll see of I can find the screen I took it's on my ps3 even tho I'm on ps4 now. Tho you only get a glimpse cause the second he is aggroed the helm appears, Odin is a interesting primal hopefully they do more with him In the future.

Fought odin today.

"Unreal Chedda" under his name.

Wat

[LunarCain]

Kinda like the idea that they should do more for Odin beside plain old Fate only. Maybe a Trial Dungeon/Raid of actually fighting him and his Valkyries or something like that.

[HulveinBlitz]

Honestly, I would never have thought Odin would be a FATE, nor Behe.

I hope they do more with them, but I doubt it. Seems thats all for them.

[TheRogueX]

Does anyone have some pictures of Odin showing the varying appearance? I've only seen him a couple times, and the fight was so hectic I never got a good look.

Not true of Bahamut, and probably not Odin either. Coil Spoilers;

Bahamut is actually kept "alive" by Allagan technology, which replaces the need for a tribe worshiping him. Dalamud was his prison which kept him both alive, and siphoned his energy to Crystal Tower; they basically turned him into a orbital reactor... The probable reason Bahamut vanished after the End of an Era trailer is because he destroyed Dalamud when he escaped. In the Coil questline we're told there are three pieces keeping Bahamut alive through artificial worship, and our aim is to deactivate that so that he can never be summoned again, since he'll have no worshipers to do so. When he destroyed Dalamud, he sent them scattered across Eorzea, and shortly after he himself was torn apart, resulting in the scattered body parts we see in Coil.

Basically, the Allagans are complete and utter jerks. Read the lore behind Archon too; he was a rebel and hero of the people, and the Allagan took him down, augmented him, and bent him to their will. One of the Crystal Tower NPCs has the full story iirc. Seriously, the Allagans were jerks.

Now, how Odin stays around without any worshipers is completely unknown. Hopefully the expand on that in the future. My theory, continuing from earlier spoilers;

Odin wasn't a Primal like Ifrit or Bahamut, rather he was created by the Allagan while testing the technology behind keeping Bahamut stuck in Dalamud. One of his lines during the FATE is something along the lines of how he is now a God amongst men, but a man amongst Gods. To me that suggests that he was somehow warped into being a Primal. If he was created testing Dalamud technology, then it would explain why he is persistent and needed to be sealed, rather than just defeated.
