Revelations from Patch 4.4

Eh, I'm still a little unsure about the Legion = Final Fantasy thing nowadays, if only because the Fourth Legion is headed by Noah van Gabranth and was the Legion in charge of conquering Dalmasca. There's definitely a grain of truth to be held in the comparisons across the board, but it doesn't seem to be as hard-and-fast dedication as people like to think.

Yeah, it's not a case of the Legion number being a predictor of the plotline of the story arc they are involved in. It seems more like the Legion number means there will be (at least) one major theme from the corresponding game, but not necessarily the primary theme of that game.

In the case of the IVth, I assumed it was due to the pre-SB mentions that Dalmasca was conquered through the use of sheer air superiority via airships, which was more or less how Baron became a world power in FFIV with the Red Wings.
