Not Leviathan, so what is it?

[Anima]

I thought the Big one was called generally as "Sea Serpent", and just like some have mentioned, have never been called as Leviathan in the game.

I think of it (From what I've seen/heard in the game) as some Catastrophic being, some kind of natural disaster. Maybe like Nidhogg in Ishgard.

I hope that the both of them (Well, Leviathan surely will) will have a much more appearance and place in the game, maybe make him some kind of the ruler of the sea for underwater content. Whatever SE can come up with that makes sense.

leviathan has the same characteristics, as the others Esper in all FF... look always with a sharp snout and skin rough and scaly.... The Sea Serpent in LL cutscene look more similiar to this: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/S...al_Fantasy_III)

Leviathan is a Sea Dragon, LL cutscene is more a sea serpent ^^

(and everything if fall in the sea, if it's big, can make a tsunami... not only leviathan :x )

Looks like lunch to me.

If you load the Sea Serpent in game you will see it was never intended to be fought with lol it is longer than your view distance by double.

That said, all lore people say "Sea Serpent", it is never referred to as Leviathan by the Lore people, I think this is something where people just took characteristics and threw labels on it, or a dev might have said it sometime.

Which one are you talking about? I think people closely relate serpents and dragons, and whenever someone sees a sea serpent type monster, they generally refer to it as Leviathan, especially if it is that huge. The question is, which one is Leviathan, and it seems people have mixed opinions about it.

You mean the difference in structure shows that the pink one is more like Leviathan? I can agree that Leviathan is supposed to be a sea dragon, but the one in the LL cutscene does closely relate to old Final Fantasy game's Leviathans. Even then, like I said before, people generally associate certain monsters to old summons or espers.

Well the pink one could be a sub-servant of Leviathan or perhaps a pet of the Shangins (Much like the Almaja have Drakes or the Xali have Dogs) which would make sense.

Though on a note when your doing the Mini-Ifrit quest in Limsa, the GC Quest NPC does mention that Limsa had successfully defeated Leviathan on it's own making me wonder if they defeated the Pink one instead of the Primal itself.

It would make more sense if they defeated the blue one instead of the "real" pink one. As they actually showed them fighting the blue one. And the pink one seems to have far more detail, and is far bigger.

the blue one in my book was always the sea serpent limsa ended up fighting.
(and succesfully defeating)
seeing as the current primals show forms of high intelligence and the ability to speak;
(something the blue leviathan never displayed if i remember correctly)
i'm assuming the purple/pink one will share these abilities and be the actual primal leviathan.

also:


SE for the love of god. make his battleground a ship. during a bad storm.

Agreed, obviously.
