It is Siren as you can see here:

Compare it to the poster

On the poster there is:

Odin riding Sleipnir in the bottom middle, Leviathan bottom left(our left and right), Garuda middle left, ifrit top left. Ramuh bottom right, Titan middle right, Shiva Top right.

I zoomed in on the picture and noticed two reasons shes Shiva and not Siren.

1. No Face paint or markings of anykind.
2. She has ears Siren doesnt have ears or rather her head wings are her ears?

Edit:



Or are they even ears they could just be ice o,O';;

I think the painting technique is just different from concept art gives that impression is ice but as you can see the green-ish feathers on her head reach up to Bahamut's wing ....i really don't mind if it is Shiva tho lol :P not arguing here bcuz i like one more than other , but i rather Shiva be a Hawttie like FFX's . At first when i saw Siren's art i was confused why SE would add another feathery female prime before Shiva

Right now I'm inclined to believe it's Shiva - otherwise the Gigas (tentative name) tribe has no primal, whereas the Sahagin do; and both were shown in the concept (along with what we believe to be Siren). It looks to me like ice reaching upwards, and we see a few major differences - no face paint, inclusion of ears, and what looks to be a black collar where Siren has smoothed green plumage.

Right now I'm leaning towards (but not trying to propagate) the idea that a primal is messing with us... encroaching on The Twelve's territory. Remember, the Echo has nothing to do with the Seventh Umbral Era or the Grand Company's storyline. The Echo is part of the main scenario, which has a very different focus. Every single mission drills it into our heads - The Echo might not be from The Twelve, the primals darken your heart and make you violent and should never be allowed corporeal form, over and over. I think that one is trying to gain support with us, and that we're going to have to resist it as we've resisted the others.

But that's for another thread in another time.

Whoever gave us the Echo is female tho that's for sure (at least for you the player) the voice that tell us to "feel,think,hear" is of a woman ...so who could that be? i agree the main story around the Echo in 1.0 is separated from guild company and such and is quite different too. Will Yoshi-P continue it on ARR tho?

Will Yoshi-P continue it on ARR tho?

I believe so; the two things they've said are that 1.X quests will be significantly reworked, and that the Seventh Umbral Era and Grand Company Reformation put our main storyline on pause, but we're coming back to it in full force.

So, yes, we're going back - but will the stuff we're talking about now still be there? We'll see!

That screencap of what's believed to be Shiva eerily looks like Merlwyb.

I thought the same thing ^^';;

Yeah it's definitely Shiva, hopefully somewhere down the line we can get more Siren, Fenrir, Cait Sith, Typhoon art. Also come on Ferne, still waiting.

I think he still needs to hear back from the lore masters (clearance and all), but it's like 8:22am, so I'd let him have a coffee first XD

Hope they don't seal him in Dalamud so he can't give us our goodies
