The Omega [Weapon?] - Pure Speculation?

[Vejjiegirl]

They never refer to it as Omega Weapon in game. Just Omega. I'm pretty sure its going to be the spider robot.



There is also the fact that the Big Node in pvp (for those that do pvp) looks like the Eye on the top of Omega.

Omega could be an Allagan tactical nuke for all We know, but I like to think that it is the spider bot we're familiar with.

I want the animators to make him move like Infermon. Bonus points for a head that can completely 360 when it attacks.

Omega itself was a weapon like Ultima but while Ultima was to pacify primals such as titan and Garuda in level, Omega was designed to take down Bahamut if they ever lost control of the Elder Primal. Needless to say its power is very attractive to many.

The question is, was it to counter Bahamut the Primal, or Bahamut the First Brood? The latter adds a lot of implications for the plot of Heavensward.

I would say Bahamut, the Primal.The real question here is that if Omega's fuctional workings is only if Bahamut Primal is present? Or Can acctualy be used for different battle purposes?

Bahamut of the First Brood was long dead when Allag invaded Meracydia. The Meracydians summoned him from the grave to defend their nation when the Allagans started to overwhelm them. Omega was used to defeat and restrain Bahamut so that he could be imprisoned in Dalamud. Given that Bahamut the primal is supposedly far more powerful than the original though it would be safe to assume that Omega would easily overwhelm Midgradsormr's children.

Having said that we don't know how much more powerful the dragon kings may have gotten in the millenia since then. We do know that Omega is confirmed to have a role in the 3.0 story though so there'll definitely be something there.

I would want Omega to pay homage to FF7/FF8 and wield Ultima Weapon (sword)

Inb4 All the dragons fuse into Shinryu to battle Omega...classic FF lore

[Vermilion]

My bet is that the omega weapon will be featured or branch off in to the Bahamut "sidestory" mentioned a few live letters ago. We will see how he was summoned and captured/subdued by the Allagan Empire (Likely using omega weapon).
