Revelations from the Shadowbringers Promotional Site

I get that Hrothgar as Gunbreaker Origin seems weird, but I guess there's an obvious explanation. They are (or some of them, at least) lion-like.

Where did the Gunblade get its prominence from? Final Fantasy VIII. You know, the one with a Lion GF, Squall Leonhart and the 'Maybe I'm a Lion' Track.

Final Fantasy XIV loves referencing older titles, after all.

And it may make more sense when we actually start interacting with them. All we really have to go by right now is their look but they could be more advanced than they seem. The fact that they're called ronso in the First rather than the Source as well may be an indication that we shouldn't assume too much based on FF X either.

Plus starting gear hasn't been culturally significant to any other race so far, I'm not sure we can consider it to be the norm among Hrothgar fashion.

Who was the lion guardian force? Just flipped through my old prima guide and none of them looked particularly leonine.

Griever, the winged lion GF summoned by Ultimecia during the final battle.

Also, while it was mostly dropped from the English version's dialogue, the GF is formed from Squall's thoughts about what the ultimate GF would be. Considering his surname is Leonhart, he has a winged lion on Revolver, Lion Heart, his ring, his necklace, and his gunblade's case, it's not exactly surprising how Ultimecia pulled what she did from his mind.

Anyway, now that we know more about Eden, I'm wondering if Gaia having Rinoa's face and hair is a coincidence or not.

Ah, I read the whole thing about it being drawn from Squalls thoughts, but was always confused on where that info came from. So it was a 'lost in translation' error.

Oh. Never finished VIII. PS copy got taken away and I got bored of farming magic in the steam version.
