The ARR primals, as old as they are, are some of the major classic summons that Summoners have historically had access to. Shiva is a special favorite for many. Anyone's who has played FFX recalls our first iconic summoning of her against Anima, or how in FFXV her corpse as a giantess was a landmark of the imperial snowfields, and her subsequent intervention during our fight with Ifrit where her kiss froze and shattered him. A lot of people have grown close to these key summons after seeing them in so many games, and thus there is a reasonable sentiment that they should take precedent over more outlandish primals like Susano, who quite literally popped in and out of nowhere within a span of 10 minutes.Quote:

I don’t deny the nostalgia and familiarity. FF9 Is my favorite final fantasy and Garnet was my favorite because of her summoning. And I’m not entirely opposed to the inclusion of the older classic summons. I’m just also one who would like them to go an unexpected way with how they build summoner. Yes make it a classical summoner with actual summoning but give it some uniqueness. Make me go, wow they did that!?
