Well they certainly pulled what people were not expecting. A great fight for a great Summon.

I'd be lying if I didn't say KotR. It didn't occur to me what exactly I was fighting until phase 2 at which point I began to freak out... in a good way. In hindsight, I really should have figured it out with the whole "King Thordan and his knights twelve" line.
Also the archbishop is sitting in front of the round table in several cutscene. The 52 one he speaks with a primal voice in front of the round table lol
I was wondering if this was going to be a primal fight ever since the vault and even thought about it once or twice wondering what Ishgard's Primal would be if they had one. Man was I so pumped when I discovered the Singularity Reactor fight. I was so happy. Need extreme like yesterday. YOSHIDA! PLEEEASE *puppy dog eyes*
Bismark. It's just all kinds of crazy.
BISMARK! Mainly because its just like the Jhen Mhoran fight in Monster Hunter! May not be to a "T" but i felt right at home during this fight, automatically knowing what to do without any hint what so ever.
Bismarck is my favorite for music, I never get tired of the techno that plays especially in phase 2.
For actual challenge I have to go with Ravana though. Bismarck is the same tactic the whole fight, kill adds -> cannons -> dps bismarck -> kill adds -> cannons -> dps bismarck -> phase 2 -> kill adds -> kill more adds -> cannons -> dps bismarck. The final primal fight the OP is mentioning, same thing, the whole fight is just don't stand in things and kill a few adds. We went in blind with a group of 8 players and it was ridiculously easy, hopefully the EX mode will actually be more challenging.
Ravana at least requires you to have more situational awareness, more telegraphs, and different patterns of attack.
