It is kinda hard to see at first, but if you look closely you can see very interesting details and figures from the artwork. So let`s take a closer look:
The blue serpent in the middle of the picture, near the red creature is pretty likely Leviathan. It also resembles to the way Leviathan has been portrayed in past FF-games, in FFXV and in the Myth painting.
The huge brown creature in the right is pretty likely Titan. The color matches to the one how Titan was portrayed in the Myth painting, and how he looks in-game. Also, I am not sure if I am looking too deeply, but there seems to be blue shard in his back, so he is carrying the astral shard in that picture like he does in the game.
The huge red creature looks similar to Ifrit in my opinion. The horns, how it`s red and etc… I`ve also seen speculation that this beast might be Bahamut.
Odin might be in a different place in the picture. At first I thought that he was in the far left near Insomnia`s twin towers, since there is spear wielding soldier riding an horse, but Odin seems to be actually in the far right in picture, next to Titan. There`s a soldier clearly riding a pale horse, and wielding a spear. In some of the previous FF games Odin`s horse has been white/grey, and in Norse mythology Sleipnir is described as gray. Maybe the the far left rider is Odin too, or a past king of Lucis? But yes, at the far left, the beginning of the picture if you may, clearly shows Insomia`s twin towers(the royal palace?) and maybe the round thing around it is the moon?
The figure under Odin and Titan is really interesting. I am not sure if it`s supposed to be a dragon(Bahamut) or a demon(Diablos). I think since there seem to blue flames around the creature, and the face reminds more of an dragon imo, I am gonna assume that it`s Bahamut. Little to Bahamut`s left there is smaller figure with horns, so maybe that is either Diablos, or some FF other enemy:
I wonder which one of these creatures is the fellow with horns from the Myth painting?
In Bahamuts right, bottom right in the picture we have a blue female figure. Maybe that is Shiva and also the female figure sitting next to Titan in the myth painting? There are two other female figures in the Amano artwork that puzzle me, other on top of “Ifrit” and the other one is riding Leviathan. Hmm, maybe one of these two is the female figure next to the horned creature in the Myth painting, the one which looks like a mermaid, probably being Siren. The hair of the female figure that is near Leviathan resembles a little bit of Siren`s hair in the past, but… hmm….
I think the female figure is either Luna or the blond haired goddess that has been shown in a few places. If the blond woman is Luna then I think the armored persons surrounding her could be Nifelheim troops. Maybe the white old looking lad with horns is Ideola? Maybe the armored men symbolize how Luna`s home was dominated when she was young? The person in the black armor, is the person carrying her or holding her captive? Hmm…
The Regalia, the bros and Doomstrain?
The vehicle is most likely Notcis and co`s car, Regalia. What is really interesting is the creature beneath the car. It looks a bit to Doomatrain, and heck it might even be the mysterious figure in Lucis flag.
These were my thoughts. I am really looking forward for the upcoming event this week! And I can`t express enough how amazing that artwork is, like holy heck.
