Some of these pics remind of sky gods. Particularly this one looks like Suzaku


You could probably say this one is Byakko

This one maybe Seiryu?

That french one definitely looks like omega weapon or something though.

btw this place kind of remind me of sky too

I'm so glad this thread turned around... I was actually going to just completely ignore it, based on the way it started.

As far as what I've seen (and read), it looks like we are getting glimpses into 4 different elements (story-lines, expansions, events, etc) that could be coming in 2.0. Personally, I am fascinated by that possibility.

My 2 cents: (probably wild speculation, admittedly)

American: A Wyrm (possibly water based). I would guess 1 of 6 roaming wyrm HNMs; each representing an element. In XI the wyrms were protectors of Vana'diel (if I remember correctly)... Perhaps, they are something similar and are awakened by the imminent disaster that changes the world.

Japanese: Obviously, Behemoth. Possibly, a ground-king style HNM. No notable story tying it to the grand-scheme of things; just a roaming NM. Maybe, the next tier of roaming NMs along the vein of Mosshorn, Uraeus, & G. Buffalo (or Deadeyes, Tarbh Usigh, Zanig'oh)?

German: A Weapon. I want to say, linked to the Garlean Empire in some way... They're often tied to technologically advanced and ominous element. They're trump card to quell certain oppositions (eikons, wyrms, etc.)

French: The one that intrigues me the most... I would assume a re-imagining of Simurg, Roc, Zu, etc. (putting it in therealm of ground-king HNMs. I WANT to believe it to be a new iteration of Suzaku (I really, really, really do... the color-scheme DOES resemble Suzaku, a bit). A new "Sky" like element requiring progression through the main (or expansion-based) story-line, maybe?

Anyways... Just blabbering. I was bored and these were the first things that came to mind after poking through the thread. I'm probably completely wrong.

Problem with that one is in most these 4 gods - shijin

Seiryu 青龍　東 East　 青 Blue
Suzaku 朱雀　南 South　赤（朱） Red
Byakko 白虎　西 West　 白 White
Genbu 玄武　北 North 　黒（玄） Black

is the normal color used in most when talking about them so dunno if yellow dragon can be called Seiryu and Behemoth looking one surely not in white being Byakko.

Just in case some think I'm pulling info from FFXI...



And for those interested Kirin is Yellow

I really don't think they look like the sky gods at all to be quite honest. First one I'd say is a cockatrice or something like that. Middle one is Behemoth, and the yellow dragon-ey thing looks like. Well. A yellow dragon thing. I have no idea how to describe that.

With the latest reveal for this picture, since what appeared to be a wing is actually a tail odds are this one isn't Suzaku. It has no indication of wings unless that last panel is somehow hiding them lol. The body type reminds me more of an FF11 cockatrice more then anything.

[Colino]

That bird looks nothing like Suzaku at all... Looks like a mix between a cockatrice and a dragon-like creature.

Actually it looks a lot like the raptors from monster hunter.

This thing has been in the dats for awhile now. Its an axebeak basically.
