Will the real Leviathan please stand up?

[viion]

ah and why a serpeant can fly into the air and summon a whole tsunami? you dont think this is a power of a god? well.. and why showing him more than once in the limsa missions and giving so much attention and powerful appearances to him?

i rather think they wanted to make a little mystery about leviathan till there would be the time to fight him in battle. or is Final Fantasy story all about lifting all secrets in the beginning without cliff hangers? well...
lv 15> is not the time to lift all background story to the player about the "sea monster"

and backstory about ifrit was first introduced after the content patches of the new team.

Could be something different entirely and be able to fly and do tsunami, about that also you dont see him actually summon this, so it could of just been a normal attack, you dont even really get to see the whole picture of it. It could of just been the after effects of him rushing out the water (which is more unlikely than him just having it as his own attack).

It makes no sense to be levi. Titan, Ifrit and this creature has been in the files since day 1, Ifrit stayed same and so far so has Titan, their scales are massively appart, it wouldnt make sense to start referring this creature as Leviathan then come the day you fight him and hes the little sea creature we see in the files at the moment? You'd not only be pissed you're not fighting what you expected to, but also a little confused how hes transformed by about a 10th of his size and looks completely different.

I also dont remember devs referencing him as Leviathan directly, in the "Making of" videos he is referenced as the Sea Serpent.

The most badass monster of the game doesn't have to be a summon primal... It usually never is in FF games lol.

It would be a pretty strange red-herring to make this sea serpent not Leviathan. Most people naturally referred to him as Leviathan, and I'm sure devs have too.

But then again, Primals need to be summoned. So for the serpent to be Leviathan, it does in fact cause a plot hole, because then we are forced to ask "who summoned him?"

The Sahagin's maybe.. .

But there were no Sahagins around during the opening cutscene, or was there...

Maybe the plot twist at the end of the game is that the evil sahagin onboard was in fact... YOU.

People refer to him as Levi because he has Levi characteristics, doesn't mean he is though, they are just misinformed and dont read the storyline where it clearly states a Sea Serpent, and they also dont listen to the devs who clearly say Sea Serpent. (Least they did before Yoshi). I dont remember Yoshi or new devs referencing him as being Leviathan so will have to find a quote on that to verify it.

He is likely not summoned, could just come out to see "Threat Level", in the cutscene you fight all the Squids and its very stormy etc, so he jumps out but no wave, probably knows its safe. But then when there is canon balls being fired down into Sea he gets a lil pissed haha. And Jumps out to attack.
