Dwarves' primal

As for the "primals" remember that the Moogles have Mog. So there are curveballs to throw us off.

I meant in the sense of them being the crafters yeah. I guess I just have a hard time envisioning fighting evil laladwarves and them summoning a primal and all.

Alternately, I wonder if the Ananta were going to be crafters, and Qiqirn the second 'battle quest' tribe. Would make sense, and probably still tie in with a lot of what we did in the Ananta quests (rebuilding and altering the bridge-fort). But they decided to make Namazu the crafters somewhere along the way, Qiqirn got booted out, and Ananta had to become a battle tribe.

Splitting crafting/gathering between the two tribes would be an interesting approach.

I swore I read in an interview somewhere that the Namazu weren't originally going to get Beast Tribe quests, but their overwhelmingly popularity forced out the Qiqirn. However, without any source I'd take that with a huge grain of salt.

I'd wish they'd go back to the ARR-style release of Beast Tribe quests... I'd love to have 5 again instead of 3 per expansion!

Really? You have a hard time believing laladwarves are evil and wont summon a Primal. Okay then...

(Good, good, they dont suspect a thing)

Obviously the Dwarves will summon a new version of the Brothers summon. One skipped leg day, the other skipped arm day, introducing the new Primals; Teledji & Adeledji!

Ha, I saw that in the April Fool's day manga.

Also will any else be upset if the quest names and achievements don't make references to: potatos, the term rally-ho, or mention lalaland in some capacity. Like this is a golden opportunity to poke fun at lala memes.

Like: I'm not bad, it's just the Dwarf way(I'm just drawn that way), You had me at potato(hello), Crouch Potato, Say hello to my little friend, Potato Parcel, Gnocchi Gang, Trolala(trololo), You smell like bacon and chives(beef and cheese), Taters gonna take(haters gonna hate). And one I really like, Your body's now in Lalaland(your body is a wonderland).

Forget quest names and achievements, the Dwarves better end every damn sentence they speak with "Rally-ho!"

They already said no to that though. So quest and achievements are the next best thing.

Preorder cancelled

Completely joking here but, it'd be great if the Dwarves Summoned an alternate version of Titan. I have no idea what it'd be, but the image in my mind is so fantastic. Little Dwarves summoning up a giant Rock Elemental? OH! What if they gave us all the primals but in some alternate-reality sort of form?

Isnt it oblivious? Thordan summons Thordan and his knights of the round, the darves surely summone Snow white and the seven dwarvs :3

That was one of the best things SB gave us, so you could farm out a nice set, actually i would not mind having an 2nd primal every first or other patch.

Potation, Lord of the potatoes.

I also heard that "somewhere" - that's why I think it makes more sense if the Qiqirn were going to be the other battle tribe, and Ananta as the crafters.

The Qiqirn seem to have the setup of a 'standard' beast tribe situation. A small "friendly" tribe that's split away from their violent brethren and are in need of our support.



Actually, on the topic of "unsubstantiated statements that would actually explain a lot".... at some point someone on the forum mentioned that Stormblood's focus on Othard was a direct decision from Yoshida. Is there a source for this? Because if it's true, it would make sense with how rushed and underused Gyr Abania feels overall.

Maybe it'll be Marilith? They live in Mt Gulg, Mt. Gulg is where you fought the fire fiend.

or it could be Zorn/Thorn, Meltigemini or Madeen since they appear in ff9 Mt Gulg

I'm disappointed the emperor's twin guards weren't used as a Zorn and Thorn reference. They were even red and blue.

Yet.

There's still time! You fight Zorn and Thorn more than once, y'know. (Kind of)

Well, we didn't exactly kill them... Actually they kind of remind me of Grynewaht; Introduced at the end of an expansions patch cycle, likely to be a recurring character in the following expansion, probably end up used in some wild experiment? That would give us Meltigemini... Of course, it doesn't seem like Garlemald will play much of a role on the First, so... 6.0, please look forward to it? Perhaps Solus will Ascian-ize them to send them over to the First though, then they can take a leaf from Lahabreas book and fuse.
