Sorry, I hate to be that person... but Ravana's actually a boss from Vagrant Story. Not strictly Final Fantasy, but still Ivalice.

They are using names from many places. most Primal names, come from various myths, around the world.

I had to check really fast on wiki! You're right!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravana

"Rāvaṇa is the primary antagonist in the Hindu epic Ramayana, where he is depicted as the rakshasa and asura king of Lanka. Rama had once addressed Ravana as a "Maha Brahman" (Great Brahmam in the context of his education). Rāvaṇa is depicted and described as having ten heads. He is described as a follower of Shiva, a great scholar, a capable ruler and a maestro of the veena, but someone who wished to overpower the devas. His ten heads represents that his knowledge of the six shastras and the four Vedas. In the Ramayana, Rāvaṇa is the antagonist, kidnapping Rama's wife Sita to exact vengeance on Rama and his brother Lakshmana for having cut off the nose of his sister Surpanakha."

He meant it was an all new Primal, that hasn't existed in any other FF games, before.
Ravana
So it doesn't originally come from Vagrant story, either

It technically is, as I believe Ravana wasn't a boss actually? But a normal enemy in Vagrant Story. It's like saying how the XI Garuda wasn't a FFXI Original because it was a normal mob in previous games.

Nonetheless, the only similarity between the two are the numerous limbs. They look very different in appearance:

Kind of...

Very reminiscent of Hahava (forgot what his family was called) in XI:

Awesome and epic, but I wonder how long those models take to make.. Can't imagine seeing that done quickly (at all).

The second one has me a bit afraid, it looks fast and it has many swords - going to be one crazy fight lol.

well there's not just the modelling there's the conceptualization also, so from start->finish, it takes a while, for sure.
They said the main sculptor spent 3 years, sculpting all the characters/mobs/etc, in the game.
