And now for the good news:

[Blade]

The A Realm Reborn site was updated today, providing us with some new field screenshots, a new bestiary, and information on two more primals...

 

In particular, this tidbit on Bahamut gives light to what may have happened to him during the Calamity... and why our good friend Louisoix was smiling.

 

On Bahamut: "Once freed, the terrible being wrought fiery destruction across the length and breadth of Eorzea, his devastating rampage marking the beginning the Seventh Umbral Era. In the midst of the chaos, however, Bahamut was enveloped in a blinding white light and abruptly disappeared from the skies. None claim to have seen the primal in the five years since."
