CG Midlander

[Warlock]

It's possible that it was another entity, but everything says Leviathan to me... it's in LL, its presence correlates with treasure taken from an island said to be the mythological place Leviathan is bound to, it's heavily ingrained in Limsa's lore, and so far the only sea beast we know for sure is is Leviathan, and we see it destroy several boats with what I must assume was Tidal Wave.

Much like my standards for discounting an assumption until shown otherwise, that's just too much for me to not make the assumption until shown otherwise.

So you agree that Yoshi-P kills the old model of Leviathan as shown in that concept art in my post?

That's what it seems like, anyway. The "Old" serpent seen in the LL storyline and the "New" serpent share a ridiculous amount of features; the six things coming out of its head, two being much thicker than the others, long serpent shape with two wings, even the red trim on the end of the fins is the same. It's just that the newer one looks more... leviathan-ey.

The biggest clue for me (EDIT: which has now been discounted) is the Blacksmith quest that, in the English client, refers to seeing "the sea serpent," the German client clearly refers to him by name.

Blacksmith 30 Quest
English: I'm as frightened o' sirens an' fishbacks as the next bloke...but I'd take me chances with a whole horde o' the buggers if it meant never seein' a sea serpent again.

German: Sirenen oder Sahagin ... wenn du mich fragst, ich würde keinem der beiden gerne auf See begegnen ... obwohl das immer noch tausendmal besser wäre, als der Seeschlange oder Leviathan als Häppchen zu dienen.

(Sirens or Sahagin ... if you ask me, wouldn't like to meet either of them at sea ... but that would still be a thousand times better than being appetizers for the sea serpent Leviathan CORRECTION: thousand times better than being appetizers for the sea serpent or Leviathan.")

We also know that the sea serpent appeared some time ago - appearing in our echoes, not our realities. The story goes that the ships of Limsa drive it back to the depths, which fits with this line which mentions him by name in

It Kills With Fire:
"Hah! Those wooden-headed tree fondlers will have to do better than that if they hope to play the thalassocracy! All know it was our own Company of Heroes that slew Leviathan, and it's plain the Gridanians seek to supplement their feeble ranks with allies who might feasibly contend with a primal."

Here is more proof of old model Leviathan: 7:43 in case video doesn't load at that time.

Not Midgarsormr.

are you saying that not midgarsormr? because the dev have said it was.

also that killing of tanaka leviathan you mean the high level strong sea mob? becuase i'm sure that what he is not leviathan but just a big fish in the sea and people think he leviathan because he some what look like him.

No no i'm not saying the dragon in that pic isn't Midgarsormr ... I'm telling Duuude that the skeleton in the concept art isn't Midgarsormr , That's the skeleton of the sea serpent you see in the Limsa Lominsa intro , I'm starting to think that it wasn't Leviathan at all too.

House of cards time. Sorry, Moose.

I feel a need to correct the translation.

Sirens or Sahagin... If you ask me, I wouldn't want to meet either of them at sea... although that would still be a thousand timest better than serving as an appetiser for the sea serpent or Leviathan.

Of course, that could also be a German Loc error. So, I'll leave that to Ferne or Eemeefu to chat to the German localization reps (Lokalocuta or Tertiyumdatur) about.
