"Five years into the future" (Why?)

[Alaltus]

So are you suggesting that Odin intervenes with Bahamut?

Odin or Odin and the other Primals too.

I don't really know about the whole "horse thing"..where would Odin even come from? Was he just cruisin' by and happened upon a battlefield?

To me that "horse" just sounds like feedback from Bahamut screeching as he prepared his Flare.

Where did Atomos come from? That much aether does not go unnoticed least of all by primals.

Something tells me that cutscene is not over. I think there is a longer version that answers it. I would love to see primals do this.

This is true lol. What would be Odin's decision for stopping Bahamut though? Or did his mere presence cause Bahamut to go "oh sh#t, time to book it"?

I keep reading people's interpretation of the final cutscene being that Louisoix teleported "the adventurers" five years into the future. Now, I know that 2.0 is supposed to be five years later, but is there any actual evidence to support what thus far seems to merely be speculative fan theory that Louisoix used time magic? I've heard he's associated with "the god of time and space," but what's to simply say he didn't warp them to a safe location elsewhere -- it could even have simply been in an airship, as we saw the Imperials in one above during the finale. It could be Ishgard -- imagine if we start 2.0 there! Or any number of locations.

I guess I'm wondering why there is such a widespread assumption that the adventurers were warped through time itself to five years later. Has this been confirmed by Yoshi or anyone official, or is this all just purely speculation at this point?

You do know that there is going to be another cinematic trailer for ARR? The one that shows those same adventurers (the WAR, BLM, WHM, PLD, and BRD) riding on chocobos and with Grand Company flags? Not to mention that it contains Odin as well. There is another one planned once we get closer to the Beta/release of the game that concludes the End of an Era about those characters coming out of the past.

Yeah I can't see Odin having much of an effect on him either..nor would I see why he'd be vested in this battle at all, much like Atomos. From what I saw, Atomos was just late to the party, sucking up Aetheryte (whether or not he was channeling it up to Bahamut is another story), and just being a general annoyance. In XI, he was equally neutral; that is he didn't differentiate between "good" and "bad" when sucking people up into his void.

On another note, there is a legit resemblance between Odin of XI and the facial armor of Darnus and Baelsar.


Could the Garleans have been the ones to summon him? o_O Maybe Baelsar himself? He was against the whole "cleansing" idea from the start.

One interesting thing is that Odin in real mythology is supposed to show up at Ragnarok and rally the dead warriors to fight on the side of the gods. Could this be running parallel? and the dead warriors be the other Primals? maybe why they needed to be felled? and the gods be the twelve? Also he's attributed along with his two brothers for creating the realm of mankind and mankind itself so he could easily be the Garlean/Hyur Primal.

I just watched the first trailer we got (Fate of...) and Odin is being shown in an area with caves and trees. I don't think he is anywhere near Camp Brittlebark when Bahamut arrives. Don't count on Odin to be involved.

Yeah he's shown in the more "peaceful" time which is why I didn't count him initially. But he IS around..which means SE has plans for him...whether he already played a part or will play a part remains to be seen though.
