The Names of the Warring Triad

[Morningstar1337]

Okay this is a speculation thread, regarding The Warring Triad

e know that they and they they are a reference of the beings of the same name in FF VI, but what we don't know is what the names of the individuals members are.

Each of the primals seem to have a name and at least one title. While there is precedence of Primals named after mythical Species (The initial three and Leviathan) the named of Demon Fiend and Goddess seem more fitting as part of the titles. But as for what the names are. There are two possibilities

• Amaterasu, Susano'O and Tsukiyomi, unlikely since in neither game did the Triad (judging from the Azys Lla statues) resemble the Shinto gods but they have some parallels.
• Sophia, Sepheroth and Zurvan, those were the names Tetsuya Nomura assigned to the Original Triad more likely than the Japanese gods...except for the fact that there is another FF character named Sepheroth.

Now this what do you think the Triad's members will be named in XIV?

Well, all primals or almost are already named after other FF characters, so a Sepheroth wouldn't be that Strange...

I don't know about their name, but maybe their number has something to do about the way Othardians see the ether, according to ninja quests... There are only three "elements", in That classification, and one might even link them to the three deities being Zodiark, Midgardsormr and Hydaelyn. I don't know, it's a mere supposition x)

Its Odin, Urth, and Wi'Yu. Odin is confirmed, and its no big leap that the others are the other two. They also fit the original archetypes of Fiend, Demon, and Goddess as given in FF6, which we all know Yoshida has an especial fondness for.

It would be confusing since Odin (or at least his sword) is already a primal, but it does make a sort of sense...thought Belhi brought up a reason (beside Odin technically being a Primal already) why that is unlikely

None of them look anything like Odin and we know Odin was originally a mortal hero who only became the primal after taking up the cursed blade. Urth also was a mortal and an enemy of Allag while Wiyu, also a mortal, was a Allag Summoner. My understanding is Urth and Wiyu were also female and the Fiend and Demon both look male.

[ArcaviusGreyashe]

Well... Godess = Hydaelyn, Demon = Zodiark, Fiend = Midgardsormr. And where was Odin confirmed ?

Yet, on the three statues of the warring triad, one has a third eye like Garleans... I don't know, maybe that's a clue ?

Where on earth did they confirm Odin is part of the Triad? They said he was an eikon like the Triad, as far as I can remember. I also seem to remember Yoshida saying FF7 was his favorite but that's really neither here nor there.

So were Ysayle, Louisoux and Thordian, just saying. Thought the fact that Odin is already a primal still shoots some holes into Shirobi's theory

"Here we talk a little bit about the word used to describe Odin in Japanese (闘神=TOSHIN=lit. god of fighting) and how it is similar to the Japanese term 三闘神 (SAN-TOSHIN=lit. three gods of fighting), or what is translated in the EN version as the Warring Triad. "

Odin is one of the Three Gods of Fighting, what is translated to English as "The Warring Triad".

I did not post a theory. Its a direct quote from the lore panel.
