How many Legatus are there?

[Majidah]

It was mentionned Legion soldiers are more loyal to their commander than to their Emperor.
They only kept fighting with Eorzean alliance thinking Nael was still alive and following his order till the end.
So, I don't think Nael's troops will swear allegiance to a new leader, the 7th Legion may be disbanded entirely.

A community manager also wrote that the japanese version of FFXIV didn't use the word "legatus" or "legion", it's only the result of the english adaptation. I think the german word was different too. It's probably better not to think over the accuracy of the Legatus system.

It was only Nael's legion which was loyal to him. Because he was some sort of spiritual leader.

The system in which each legion is divided is pretty specific...

And if we know 2 legatus, and each has 1 legion, it wouldn't be crazy to say (regardless of the word they are using to refer to them) that its 1 legatus = 1 legion.

And since SE posted there are 14 legions, we are deducing each has one leader. Thus, 14 legatus.

Also Judge/Legatus is a rank. You'd have to start out as soldier and rank up to get your weapon/uniform upgraded.

But what about a Judge in itself >.> I mean you could say the same about the Paladins of Uldah... freelance Judge could work o.O/ I mean a Paladin is a gladiator who just happened to take the training of a Paladin which were sworn to the sultanate of Uldah right... give judges the whole Keeping the Laws pure case or something o.O judges who protects the laws of the land or something it could work I'm just saying!~

Yeah, I agree that the First legion will likely be headed by their Emperor (Solus)... so that means there could be at least another eleven Legati (maybe even up to 20 of them exist, who knows).

Plus, the survivors of Nael's VIIth legoin may have likely been absorbed by Gaius' XIVth while the Garleans rejuvinate a new seventh legion back at their capital. That is, if they haven't already done so... which makes me join the concensus that our spiffy Elezen female in white could be their new leader.

Either that, or she may just be a top-ranking aide to Gaius.

I will become the only Lalafell Legatus! D:<

[Nahaara]

14 eh? 14 for me to hunt down then.

[Mudd]

I have a feeling a couple are going to end up dead by hands that aren't ours

It'd be interesting to see a Lalafell and Miqo'te Legatus because they're from the southern small-island chain continent(s). Roegadyn are from the north, we don't know where Elezen came from but clearly Nael was an Elezen with his build, and Hyur are the most numerous race.

Well Darnus was clearly Elezen, I'm guessing Gaius is Hyur. You can see a Roe Legatus in the trailer, and the other two of undetermined race (Either Hyur or Elezen), one seems to be female.

I was seriously hoping for a Lalafell Legatus......

Most Garleans are probably Elezen..looking at Nael van Darnus he was said to have been a descendant of an Allagan family. I'd say most of us Loremongers would argue that the Allagans were predominately an Elezen society. It may still be possible for Lalafell and Miqo'te Legatus, after all Eorzea and the southern island chain-continent can't be the only places where Lalafell and Miqo'te settled. But both races have 1 thing in common a branch of the race is more adapted for desert climates and since Islabard is far to the north I'd assume it's a cold northern climate which Dunesfolk Lalafell and Sun Seeker Miqo'te wouldn't be adapted for, but maybe I'm going into it too much lol. I'm sure it's still possible though.
