Just noticed something in End of Era trailer...

[whoopeeragon]

I myself hear three out-of-odd sounds - firstly, the horse whinny, second, a high shrill (could be wind, but no wind could ever sound like the shrill voice I keep hearing), and lastly, growls which do not at all sound like Bahamut's growls. Personal theory is that those were the sounds of Odin, Shiva and Fenrir respectively, with the hypothesis that those primals who have yet to be defeated and banished also joined in the scene. Ramuh's beard and Leviathan's fins can't exactly produce, sounds can they.

It would be interesting if there was a feud between Odin and Bahamut, though going ala IX it was Bahamut and Alexander, who's to say they cant change that around.

Odin's known as an Elder Primal, I'd say Bahamut is considered the same thing.

Perhaps Bahamut's release and tantrum brought Odin back into the world as well, what we dont see is what happens after Lou pushes us forward and what he's really smiling at is Odin charging in and disrupting the Megaflare from completely obliterating everything. It would help explain why, if, the 3 nation leaders and Cid are alive in ARR. Odin charges in, they fight, Bahamut leaves and Odin goes wandering.

To further that thought, perhaps it'll be our purpose to track Odin back down and enlist his knowledge in a way to actually take Bahamut down. No reason the Primals cant be against each other.

Good God, this people

Try listen the clip using a nice earphone/headset, put it full volume, close your eyes
It clearly the sounds of explosion from megaflare clashing your protect, and Bahamut roaring in the distance

where is Urianger in the trailer?
I think he will show up in part 2 next to a weak Louisoix (who obviously failed in whatever he tried to do).

I recon he will summon a fully aether feasted Atomos (maybe this was its purpose at the aetherite camps) and out of Atomos rides Odin (we all know Atomos is a doorway to the void).
Kinda like how in wings of the goddess you have the heroes exiting the maw to save the world.

Fight primal with primal.

Odin then gives chase to Bahamut. That is the only way i can think of stopping Bahamut from wrecking the world and also introduces the concept of Summoner. Why else would Odin be in part 2? They are both described as elder primals.

I recon i might be right, being a huge Silmarillion fan i wasnt suprised with the bahamut/dalamud revelation, i knew something was inside.

What protect? There aren't any shields up anymore at that point.

Just sounds like the wind to me. The air rushing through at high speeds cuz of the explosion.

Like your theory mate, same thing I was going on .

My theory:

I think Odin is the avatar/primal of death and he is basically coming for Lousioux in the final seconds of the movie. He's not going to save him, but rather to see him through to the other side sort of like the grim reaper.

Wait. Didn't a certain someone hint to megaflare being stopped by something and we will find out in 2.0 (maybe the opening movie) why he was sent to his labyrinth instead of wreaking havoc on the planet?

IIRC, i read a post from a dev explaining the whole story behind dalamud, and that Bahamut will be tarped in Crystal Tower highest floor. If that is true or not, idk, but try searching for the explanation of the story (they mention alot of stuff they been leaving behind during the last months before the 'end of an era' release and they expected us to know something was inside Dalamud and that it was actually a cage. Altho i also recall reading that Odin will be the intervenient in this action of the world destruction. But now that people mention about the other 4 Avatars (Shiva, Titan, Fenrir and Odin) it whould make sense to help preventing the world major destruction with that megaflare, also Atomos could suck all that power in and nullify the Megaflare. I'm not sure about this last theory lol, but sounds cool~ish.
