EDIT: Marking it as spoilers since this is new content.
Here's an album of the magitek weapons seen in the 5.3 trailer.
FFXIV's taking inspiration from the war-torn Final Fantasy Type-0 for its upcoming Bozja Southern Front battlefield content, more specifically, the Militesi magitek weaponry. Considering how that game was an allegory to how brutal and destructive war can be, I think it's very apropos for the dev team to take inspiration from the warmongering Milites. Aside from the mountable Gabriel Alpha, which is based from the magitek armor of the same name in Type-0, we'll be seeing what looks to be FFXIV versions of Brionac, Nymurod and Helldiver.
Nymurod is a mass-produced grunt-type Magitek weapon, Helldiver is fought as a stronger type enemy, with some appearing in Regional Dominance missions and in later chapter missions. Brionac, on the other hand, was a powerful, gigantic Magitek Armor related to the plot of Type-0. Gabriel is the high-speed Magitek Armor of Qator Bashtar, a prominent enemy in the game. It also had an upgraded version which Class Zero fights in the game, called Gabriel Omega.
I'm stoked to see more of Type-0 in FFXIV.
