But I'd guess Soken'll go with more traditional music for the ol' man. It's more fitting, I think.

Orchestrated is the way to go. Trumpets, violins and cellos. Also a Choir singing in Latin.

It'd be nicer if it was in Romanian.

I'm hoping Ultima Ex will be available as well.

Still I question when Shiva Primal Fight will be since if it is 2.4 then what will they do for 2.5 since all known primals may be done unless they have Bahamut Primal Fight for 2.5 :p

My money is on that Frozen Waterfall area. For thoe that read quest text, they haven't been able to melt that ice, or get through it to the other side since it happened. While it technically would mean 2 Primals in Coerthas, as a zone, it makes the most sense to me.

Did Ramuh get drunk with power like Garuda? Did the "Darkside" influence him? Was his Realm invaded ?
What could force the scions to battle with the wise Ramuh? What could it be ?

---

Ramuh always struck me as one of those "Stay off my lawn you whipper snappers!" trope. I mean seriously. He has no problem with us if we just stay out of his way and don't harm his sylphs. So clearly, someone stepped on his lawn.

Also.

Not unheard of. La Noscea already has two. Titan and Leviathan.

And with 2.3, Ramuh will be tied to the Shroud, same side as Moogle as well. The crystal for Ramuh is already up there in the Sylphlands, been there since they opened the gates for the beastmen dailies.

Now, they need to give a second Primal to Thanalan. Not sure who would be summoning it though, if they went with Beastmen, the only two really left are Qirin and Goblin, neither of which I think they're going to do anything with in that regards. Though the Qirin one makes the most sense. They're far more active in hostility towards people, particularly Highbridge. And Black Brush Station actually now that I think about it.

Would be nice to get to the other side of Coethras, but I'd be more interested if they actually did that to expand the zone, to the Eastern Highlands, rather than you just break the ice and oh look, a crystal. No, they need to expand the actual zone itself.

All this talk about Primals though. I really, really hope when they bring out Alexander they do him proper justice. XI almost seemed like they were going to, always hoped they would show the parts of him coming together in a grand cinematic to face off against Odin, but never happened. Instead, they had use fight a miniature (like, the Egi of himself lol) instead. So disappointing. I enjoy playing SMN, but honestly, I don't even care about having an Alexander Egi, keep him unsummonable, but give him a truly epic role. Not as a dungeon boss, but something far more crucial. Granted, with the FC Primal summoning they always talked about and have yet to do anything with, that would be cool, to summon a full size Alexander during a Frontline battle for instance, or in the field if it called for it. The chance to summon Alexander during an Odin Fate would make up for not having him fight Odin in XI.

hmmm I hope it's more a methodical fight that doesnt put too much pressure on the healer but more on cooperation between players. eg linking a tank and a DD with each other and if you dont perform correctly it'll kill both. I can also imagine having to break his staff at one point in the fight or he'll get a buff that'll boost his dmg a lot. the staff could work as an individual target that keeps attacking whoever has highest hate on it. Also could divide the area. ppl in certain spots will get hit but on the other hand you cant just stack behind him cause if too many ppl are in a close range he'll do a "chain lightning" like attack.

What I hope we won't get is sylph adds. the Sahagin adds during Levi are the only thing I dislike about the fight.

I guess this fight will...

zap our healers into action.

Those bondage plants are perfectly natural, too. Cannot wait to kill this dirt bag.

YOU! might actually be on to something IS kinda strange the ones that worship him do turn BLACK!!!! (dominatrix)

Like the Slyphs, he won't actually be on the ground, he'll hover, possibly even moving rapidly across the arena quickly. I'm guessing teleporting, without having a set tank position such as how Ifrit jumps but returns to the original tanked location every time.

A FC mate and I were talking about this last night and were thinking the same mechanic as KB. We also though that there could be something like chain lightning where if your spacing is off and your hit, it can flow to other people, growing in power each hit....or the exact opposite and it works like fireballs in T5 where the more people that are hit by it, the less damage it does individually.

Pretty sure the music from the second Ultima fight used to be Ramuh's fight music. I wonder if Soken will mention this in future.

I imagine we'll see a similar move to Twister, but rather than getting thrown up in the air, we get hit with a lightning bolt.

Nah, I highly doubt it. Even from my rather poor translation of what I've deciphered so far, the lyrics have absolutely nothing to do with anyone but Gaius.

I actually think those plate-wearing tanks would rather swap to Leather :P

My armor deflects lightning bolts, so no.

/sigh I really hope they run out of Primals soon and think of something much more original.

I was watching some kung fu movie where there the military was on board ships decked out in the full shogun like armor. A giant kraken like thing destroyed all the boats. Out of the 10,000+ troops, only the general took off his armor and swam to the surface.

Us tanks are screwed cause we can't remove armor in combat :(

That's the entire point of this game lol. There will be primals added more than likely the entire life of the game, its our job to stop them corrupting eorzea

It doesn't have to be, I think that's what Mindy means. More opposing forces would be more interesting instead of, "Oh look, ANOTHER primal...how unexpected...totally didn't see that coming."

Sadly that will not happen since there are a lot more Primals than just the Primals of Eorzea.

Looking back at this trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag2cRTU-Og8

we can see we are far from done with any primals considering there was over 100 primals being released from the destruction of the AetherSeal in Silvertear lake. There will always be Primals to fight and the others are in the other continents we have yet to reach.

Originality? In my Final Fantasy? Madness!

I don't mind getting a Primal every update, even though 2.2 advertised Leviathan waaaay too much, he was hardly the focus of 2.2. Doma, the state of the Empire, new Job teasers, Second Coil, all far more interesting than an overgrown fish. Likewise, I imagine whatever story revelations we get, and Crystal Tower, will be more interesting than Ramuh. New areas of Coerthas will equally shadow Shiva.
