Spot the Celestial Dragons

[myahele]

In the recent live letter, it was said that we'll be meeting up with the 7 Celestial Dragons (Midgardsomnr's children) and below is the artwork for them.

As you can see it a jumbled mess and it's quite difficult to spot each, but I think I can see them all. But I'd like your thoughts.

The middle one is obviously Midgardsomnr.

[myahele]

My guess:

1. I think it might be Nidhogg, due to it's white color and horn shape (similar to the dragon(s) we see in the trailer)
2. Bahamut? It share the same large wings and small head (its covered by 1's horns) Not bahamut but a green dragon. The big wings are probably midgardsomnr's
4. Bahamut?
5. Might be the dragon fought in the end of the benchmark and might be this:


The rest are unknown

I think I'm going to go with;

1) Nidhogg or not Nidhogg. Astral alignment.
2) Tiamat, as I recall her pallet was usually green? Wind alignment, duh.
3) Quezacotl, that nose/horn seems lightning-y to me. Lightning alignment.
4) Now I'm not sure on names, but lets go with XI and pick Ouryu. Earth alignment.
5) Nidhogg or not Nidhogg. Blue here, black in the benchmark. Water or Ice? Just because Coerthas is now a frozen wasteland and Lady Iceheart/Shiva have sided up with the dragons, I'm going with an Ice alignment and that this actually is Nidhogg. Wait he breaths fire in the benchmark... Whatever... I'll get to that, kinda...
6 & 7) No bleedin' idea. They both seem red-ish. The others worked much better for giving them an elemental alignment... Ones Fire ones Water. I'll be honest, I gave up naming them since other than Tiamat they'll all be wrong no matter what I say (though they could once again turn the green Wind Fiend into a red fire dragon and I'll have a major hissy fit as a result, I guess). What's important is the elemental alignment.

Not shown;

8) Bahamut. Dead, hence not actually shown. Given, he was a Primal at the time, but he did usher in the Seventh Umbral Era, which given the way those are tied to elements, lets call the Seventh Umbral Era of Darkness. So Umbral alignment; the element for each is related to Eras rather than what they breath at us. Perhaps they all had an involvement in the Calamities? We're told the earth swallowed up the Crystal Tower following its activation, but what if Ouryu (or whatever he gets called) played a part in that?

This is probably a crazy idea, but you really cannot have seven Celestials... You have eight. One for each element. That's the rule (which I made up). Bonus points; Bahamut was born first, and caused the final/most recent Calamity, coming full circle... somethingsomethingCirclesomethingRebirthsomethingShinryusomethingsomethingOmegasomething...

It does also just now dawn on me that Midgardsormr could be considered the eighth (or rather first), in which case; yay! I prefer my other theory if I'm honest.

The Number 5 is not Nidhogg ? You should check the Benchmark video to be more sure.

Was that really Nidhogg, though? Or any of the other Celestial Dragons? Then again, it does look like a 8 man trial.

That looked like the Praetorium dungeon thing.

It was missing an eye, so I would assume it was Nidhogg.

[Altijacek]

I wonder what they all are. Tiamat, Nidhogg, Bahamut...what about the other 4. I hope Shinryuu is one. Wonder what other final fantasy dragons are possible candidates.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

What makes me wonder is are we going to fight them all or perhaps they will be some sort of ally to us?

[Judge_Xero]

Was going to say, that serpentine one at the top looks like Shinryuu.
