How many Legatus are there?

[NadienKirisame]

I think the theory that each legatus is associated with a FF is interesting. Might be true also.

Nael was in charge of the 7th, and he has plenty of FF7 and sephiroth references.

This seems more than a coincidence, if you ask me. SE is known for being attent to detail. I doubt its just a fluke.

Then again, I don't think there are 14 FFs. Just a renaming issue... so maybe that disproves it? lol

Um there are more then 14 FF games... though there are only 14 Final Fantasy games number 1 - 14 or I - XIV...

The cat is bemused =-.-=

Not sure how we can become a empire class/job without being part of the empire. Not if you tell me a empire person came to eorzea and give us weps like what Cid is doing making us airship. I wont mind a gunblade if the storyline behind it make sense if it does not then no thanks.

what about a judge/legatus who left the empire o.O or something like that or like they did to Joshua Graham in Fallout Newvegas >.>was caesars legion lost a battle~ they had him burned alive as an example and tossed him off a cliff but he ended up surviving etc~

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.

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.
