Every time I look at these photos I always notice something I didn't see before!



The character is wearing a long scarf! I hope they implement those kind, kind of like Rikkus in FFX-2!



I really hope they have trains either passing by or that we can ride them to the cities of where ever!(Maybe Doomtrain as a roaming NM? Primal?)



This one I noticed the Crystal Tower(I think) in the background and it looks huge..



Is this the new Garuda? Are they remaking the Primals? If they do, this would make another awesome Garuda! Love it!



OMG! Ramuh looks so dope! The enormous beard and staff are perfect!(The staff kind of looks like the really cool staff Seymour wielded from FFX)

They already commented that this is not Garuda, but Siren. Due to their similarities I am convinced that this is aspected wind... but I still wonder whether this could be a representative of someone like Llymlaen, rather than Garuda...

Oh thanks! Lol you know your stuff! I was also thinking that it can't be by the way the did the artwork for that one, since the Primals artwork is only just one of them with a white background, but ya I thought it might be like the summoners wind avatar/pet but, meh..

Perhaps... but based on the summoner concept, the avatars look like ghostly versions of the original primals- this is very corporeal, and differs a fair amount from Garuda, so it's tough to conclude that.

Edit: The more I think about it, Siren may be a queen of the Ixali. It would make sense that the highest ranked members of a beast clan would closely emulate the deities they worship.

True! Summoner is my favorite job/class so I hope its really cool/fun/important and lives up to the hype they're giving it ^^

No that is Siren
EDIT: Added one more pic. The very last one was only shown in Japan Expo

The angelic thing is likely Seraphim. The Seraphs were depicted as six-winged serpents, and Seraphim was a beautiful woman summon in FFVI. Seraphim is the plural form of Seraph, though. I wonder if they'll change it, or if they'll make multiples. Maybe it's the primal of the Sylphs? It's also a possible new twist on the Siren summon. Sirens were depicted, among many things, as birds with woman faces.

In a way they kinda mash the two ideas together, since Siren in FFVIII had golden wings. It wouldn't be the first mix and match (*cough* Bow/harp *cough*).

Btw did anyone else noticed the Qiqirn-shaped rock structure looks just like the earlier artwork of a rock structure? It seems SE is making all of their symbols as big and obvious as possible, such as the GIGANTIC new aetherytes.

Yes looks like bits of the maps are been polished with a much more detailed theme ..some staying the same but they are all nice nonetheless ^_^b
