Talking about this

I'm currently in the process of preparing a reply, but it will need to be cleared by the other half of the lore team before I can post it. He's currently out of the office, taking a well deserved break, but should be back early next week. Hopefully then I can clear some things up (though, you guys are spot on, or at least very close, on a lot of issues).

Talking about the lore guy who work in SE who make the lore for ffxiv.

I knew about those having a break lol thus why i asked Moose directly for an update as hes doing research ...at least he could comment on his thread ;o

... that it would be more likely to be Siren than Garuda <snip> The CE artwork is Amano art... the artwork we have of Siren looks like it was drawn up more recently (ie, post DEC 2010)

This is a fair guess, and a possibility I imagined as well. The only reason I discounted it myself is that it requires too many assumptions. It requires that it is truly a primal that has awakened us (and not one of The Twelve, or even The Mother Crystal itself), that that primal is indeed Siren, that this has been planned all along, etc. If even one of those is wrong, it's all wrong.

Still, I agree - Amano's traditional style is gorgeous, but inexact as a guide to what to expect in-game.

Or the old design is just a random mob in the sea and not the real Leviathan and the bones is what is left of him. I said that a few page back i think so ya it's not that it was killed by yoshi-p it just it was not the real Leviathan.

It seems that there's a bit of overlap to be expected, anyway. Midgardsormr looks very similar to Leviathan, for instance. So yes, it could be a random mob skeleton.

I've been doing a little less research and a little more write-up getting prepared to get this all started. I think I've got it all figured out save for the Pre-ARR open ends that we're waiting for Ferne to tie-up. Most of what we've been discussing is sure to be POST-1.X mysteries, after all!

My lore projects appear to be getting off of their feet (though I've abandoned tumblr because it won't let me change font colors).

i don't mean a random mob i mean the one you see in LL CS is not the real Leviathan and that skeleton we see is him/her dead.
