I think Alexander in XIV can`t look better than me in any other incarnation of the series. I mean seriously, im perfect.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, primal Alexander looks amazing on artwork (as everything always in the history of stuff or things since the dawn of stuff or things) but in game doesn`t look bad either, sadly, what gives summons much of their grace and overwhelming awe when you see them is that they are alive things that move and cause beautiful destruction. Yeah, bahamut was imprisoned, but we saw him moving and pretty much going full apocalypse on an incredible trailer, and later on we fought him! ... As far as we know we just ASUME alexander moved... Tho i honestly skipped cutscenes because im tired to death of kobolds, as long as Alexander isn`t moving... Its hard to feel any "threat" coming from it.

History wise, all Alexanders, the ideal of the living castle and part of the fantasy trio of the dragon the castle and the knight (bahamut, alexander and odin). Have been always great, but its best incarnation will always be...

A big ass walking mountain shaking fortress capable of long range artillery nuke barrages. Holy aspected. Honestly i think XIV Alexander has took a lot from VIII.

Now, my personal favorite, doesn`t even summon, it only has a short cutscene dedicated to it and its role is very very limited.
