It'd be -absolutely hilarious- if the Garleans were, unwittingly or knowingly, using a Primal in their plans to fight the Primals.

And they did say Odin wouldn't be a Primal in the vein of Ifrit/Garuda/Leviathan/Titan, since they already had other plans for him...

Odin was (arguably) the single central NPC in the FFXI storyline, the single point tying the entire thing together. I've been -waiting- for him to appear in XIV, and... now you've really got me thinking. (Other plausible inhabitants of Dalamud-as-a-prison: Ramuh, given the purple lightning bolts? I really like the idea of Dalamud as a prison the Empire is going to inadvertently unlock all over Eorzea.)
kekekekeke, glad to please!

There's the possibility that other primals are imprisoned within this moon; but I'm just going for what's in concept art. I personally think the circles' colour is for Odin, but you could be right. I'm interested in what the Sylph said earlier in the main storyline too; that summoning and using the primals twisted and corrupted the Beast races into what they are now. Clouded their minds, as such. The Garlean Empire are related to the Allagan Empire. ...Doesn't the armor of Van Darnus and Van whatever look very Odin?

Perhaps, at impact, the Empire's soldiers and such will be twisted and corrupted into hybrid forms, like the Ixali and Ama'jaa as a result of Odin's power. Perhaps -- which leads me to wonder if the Beast races were once human themselves.

On another note, given SE's infatuation with Norse mythology, I find it hilarious that the two remaining Primals that have been shown in concept art, that we haven't encountered yet are based on central characters of Ragnarok.
Leviathan's similarity to a certain dragon which spanned the world and would crush it underneath him at Ragnarok is really uncanny. And just to throw something else out there (though the likelihood of this is so small) what if, as a surprise, Fenrir appears? Again, as Norse mythology states, Fenrir is the one that will destroy Odin at Ragnarok. The "lol, surprise!" of that would be awesome.
