Yeah they seem to be the Primals(Eikons). Depending of when that cutscene take place, it could explain the change of behavior of the beastmen.

Well, since it has been said that people blessed with Echo can summon their own primal after attuning with the aetherial crystal, and that Ifrit is already seen as a summon, I think they will be summons. They'll be intense boss fights, then later, we can summon them in avatar form using some of our crystal shards as items to summon them.
I really don't understand why some people say the story is really bad. I like the story so far. Yes, there are some quests that are used as "fillers", but overall it is pretty good.
Remember that FFXI nation quests were not that awesome to begin with. I mean ... kill Orcish Fodders until you get an axe or go to Kings Tomb to get something from bats (both San dÓria missions) were not that great also .....
Look at what FFXI turned into at a later stage. Who can forget the first fight with the Shadow Lord? The AA fight? Diabolos fight or the insane CoP missions? It is not like all that content was there at release date .... The core of FFXIV is really nice so I expect it to be as good as FFXI, if not better .... just give it time.
Probably when the Garleans last attacked. Sure could be longer than that, but 15 years is possibility.What confuses me is when this actually takes place.
I can see ifrit and I can see titan, where's Shiva in there?In the video you clearly saw Ifrit, Titan and Shiva. That's all I know.
Also I agree that FF14 has great base for a story, I remember the first FF11 main quests and they where as boring as the FF14 ones until rank 36 mission, this where it starts to geat really good.
Cant wait for more!

This gives a good Idea of what's going on. Fully accesable from the SE website. Other than that I guess we dont' really know what's going on, as the story is not yet written. Final Fantasy Stories never really start until there is a threat to the world. We are just living as Civilians of Eorza, trying to protect what we have left from the war....

Thanks for the links, I had forgot about this. I haven't looked at this website since I bought the game. When I read this I barley knew what it meant. Now it makes a lot more sense.http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/#/stor...e_of_adventure

Brief summary:
Eorzea was gearing up for war between the city states, then the garleans showed up and plowed down a city, then all the other eorzeans city states decided to band together to fight the garleans and then they....never showed up.. (Maybe they ran into "HOLY CRAP THAT IS A LOT OF DRAGONS"). Because the city states had gathered so many soldiers and it was apparent that they were no longer going to be going to war they started up the adventurer's guilds to keep the economy from tanking.
nifty job of explaining why we have so many adventurers.
Yep, and it already beats out XI's explanation of us just..showing up lol. The storyline is great, people that say it's bad likely button mashed through the text parts nor read journal entries -- It's vanilla, you usually wait till the expansions to really get into the meat of the overall storyline, XI is a perfect example unless they sidestep from the story progression as well:Brief summary:

Vanilla = Basically introducing you to the game and certain characters
Zilart = Explains pretty much everything about the past and trying to open the gates of paradise
Chains of Promathia = Fills in plot holes as well as even more truths about the Zilartian era
Treasures of Aht Urghan = Story of an entirely different continent all together (near/far east), as well as goes deeper into Bastok's involvement with a certain situation.
Wings of the Goddess = All about the Crystal War and Dynamis. It also throws in a very detailed story about Atomos and how the vanadiel we know may not even be the actual Vanadiel.
A Crystalline Prophacy = Closing a 6 year plot hole (Sister from the opening of the game.)
A Moogle Kupo d`etat = A fun little story about a moogle mob boss..basically.
A Shanttoto Ascension = All about Shanttoto.
Abyssea = A time/space tear allows us to enter yet another visage of Vanadiel that existed without the Zilarts and Al`Taieu is still in the normal plain whereas our Timeline it's in another dimension. It also explains how the mother crystals are all shattered and you even see as such in Empyreal Paradox (Abyssea) where the Twilight God, Promathia, has mutated into the Dragon God, Shinryu.
So as you can see..Vanilla storylines no matter how you slice it won't ever be as good as the future storylines -- This is true in pretty much all MMOs because the expansion storyline tend to have to detail new features/event systems as well, e.g Campaign is merely the key battles of the Crystal War with the invading beastmen.

Judge Xero! -tackles and hugs-
If that was Bahamut, it would make sense; he wouldn't fit into the 6 primals of the elements, so he'll be different. Perhaps one day, Mor Dhona will have an earthquake, and he'll decrystalise to unleash more terror on the Garlean Empire...or Eorzea. /panic
