Sorry, I had the pdf directly linked, so I relinked it. It's on their outline of things to come. I have no idea where he'll wander at, but it sounds fun as hell.

You may also want to check this link out. If you scroll down they talk about how odin's lore in game a tad.

Odin was always one of my favorites. The only thing they keep messing up on is Odin's horse. Sleipnir is supposed to have 8 legs not 4. Final fantasy 7 is the only one I remember giving it more than 4 but they only gave him 6. Eh, sorry I'm a mythology nerd.

To be honest, I think Final Fantasy had more of an impact on my interest in Mythology, Religion, and Ancient Civilizations than all of my schooling put together, considering 90% of their character names are drawn from these. I even engraved the name Odin into a 4' tall walking stick I made as part of the Boy Scouts of America when I was 12 years old, thanks to Final Fantasy.

Edit:

This is something planned further down the road, but we plan on adding a new type of demi-human player character in a post-2.0 expansion. We are still in the development phase, so I cannot provide you with any concrete details, but we’ll let you know more about this new race as we get closer to implementation.

Would be interesting if SE adds something along the lines of "Naruto Cursed Seal" that transforms any character into this demi-human (i'm thinking about Papalymo and crew whom all have a Tatoo visible in the cutscenes that mark them as different from the rest).

The title “elder primal,” was meant to signify that Odin is a primal from an earlier era. The primals in FFXIV represent powerful deities worshipped by the beast tribes. These deities can be summoned by the tribes, and appear to be drawn to the intense emotions, such as pain and suffering, of their followers. Odin is classified as a primal, but his background is very different from that of the others. I can say that Odin’s background will be revealed exactly at the release 2.0, but I hope to have information for you all soon.

Very Interesting... I wonder what makes Odin different than the others?
