Bahamut is more iconic to the FF series so most will assume it to be him.
Let's not forget that Bahamut manipulated Nael to be freed. I highly doubt he'd want freedom just to obliterate everything, he probably has some sort of agenda of his own. This is probably just a demonstration of his power to the people of Eorzea.

Updated the OP with the trailer.
based on all FF representations of Bahamut and Shinryu, that is most certainly Bahamut.
for people who wanna know who the old guy is. Louisoix.
from Sharlayan. leader of Circle of Knowing (the members of which faced off against Gaius in that old rank cutscene).
I think its safe to assume that all the key characters who appear in the FMV will return in some form.
Kan E-Senna, Merlwyb, Raubahn, Loiusoix and the other circle members... and whoever the people from the original opening FMV that carried over into the newer ones are. (unless they're meant to be us)
edit: forgot Cid
now only an hour and 20 min to the live letter!![]()
Man, the facial animation they did with Louisoix is seriously amazing.

;_; Good ol' Louisoix.
How the flaming hell would we ever be able to take Bahamut on? >.> that giant.. sword looking thingy that fell from Dalamud was hundreds of feet tall, and it was dwarfed by Dalamud itself, and Bahamut's wingspan was even larger than Dalamud.
IDC how you'd try to do the gameplay, he'd have to have a hundred billion HP at such a size. XD I'm so excited I could explode!!!
Goodbye 1.0.
Early pre 1.19 unpleasant memories
