ODIN

[lolodin]

i know for a fact that louisoux is not odin that doesnt even make sense people dont just transform into elder primals :3 what is possible is that uringer could have made a pact with odin or who ever has the ability to locate him

That wasn't fully explained either, since there's no allusions toward Odin at all in FFIV up until that point so like FFV, was just SE throwing Odin into the game. It's very unlikely he turns into Odin as there's no allusions in the lore that states people can be Primals.

Unlike XI where we know Garuda, Shiva and Ramuh were beings other than Avatars until Altana basically made them one, we learned that early into the game's lifespan and lore, so unless there's hidden lore somewhere that states people can turn into Primals, then the theory that he's Odin could hold some meaning.

Aether can do some strange things..but I really don't think making them a god tier Primal is one of it..or us using anima would basically give us means of being a god tier primal as well.

Firstly, let us not forget that Lou had the essence of twelve gods at his fingertips. And, being the head of the Circle of Knowing, the most knowledgeable group on Aldenard, he knows how to use it.

Secondly, if you believe the dreamers of hatching-tide, the archons are gods manifested already and the Circle are claiming the titles of archons. There is clearly far more to this group than they have seen fit to reveal to us so far.

Thirdly, the markings on Odin's shield resemble the tattoos of the Circle of Knowing.

Granted, I can't prove it until ARR lays down the plot as we play the game, but this hypothesis is at least as plausible as any other.

the markings on odins shield do not anywhere near resemble the circle of knowing marks


second i do not believe the dreamers of hatching tide because if they where manifestations of the gods they would have easily stopped bahamut

On the markings, you are welcome to disaggree.

For hatching-tide, it is more likely the truth is a bit veiled and the dreamers are drawing a misinterpretation. While their being the Twelve themselves is rather unlikely, it still highlights there is more to them than meets the eye. Something mythologically important about the archons at the very least. That is enough to make things plausible.

Edit: And maybe they did indeed stop Bahamut? We've been told that ARR would address those moments between Bahamut and Lou after we were sent to the timeless rift. That fight wasn't over and Bahamut doesn't seem to still be wrecking the Eorzean landscape anymore, does he?

[lolodin]

well of course they eventually stopped him but im saying if they are the "gods" then bahamut would have been resealed the first time louisoux did the entrapment spell

And in the process completely drain the planet of aether just so you can go overkill? Not cool and he knows it. All power in moderation to protect Hydaelyn.

They did say we won't be using Anima anymore or something, which is something related to the Aether and that it'll be explained in game, so it's possible there was a disruption but not depletion unless the Primals existing now once killed won't be coming back ever again storywise unlike 1.0 where they can basically recycle.
