    technically this isn't the first time in a FF we fought Alexander. there was FFXI and interestingly enough FFIV. of course back in 4 he was called the Giant of babil.

    Okay then. that's what I'll do. I'll tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who lived in terror of you and your judgement. All these people who's ancestors devoted themselves to you, sacrificed themselves to you. Can you hear them singing?

    Assuming that Alexander was indeed based off the Giant of Babil to begin with (although, the DS/iOS remake kind of pokes fun at that with Proto-Babil's Divine Judgment attack)...
    But yeah, aside from FFXI, there was also FFXIII and FF Dimensions where it had to be fought as a boss.

    I never knew that they were the same until I just saw some artwork from Amano. Personally I'd like to see a version of Alexander that eventually gets or has the entire lower torso and hands. Aside from that, everything I heard about Alexander and the goblins makes it seem like its loosely based on the concept from XI. Assuming it becomes self aware and self running as well, I'm going to speculate that it wont end well for whomever is controlling it.

    You know, I think Holy Alexander fits the Goblins perfectly. I mean, the goblins are making this huge pilgrimage, and we have no idea what their home land is but we do know they love technology. What if Alexander is their homeland? After all, both historical and mythological beings can be brought back as primals, why not places as well? Hell, they are even using a old castle as it's base.

    He fits perfectly for the Goblins. Not only as their holy mecha, but as their own holy Mecca.
