I was just thinking, Ixali have Garuda, Ammal'Ja have Ifrit, Kobolds have Titan, Sylphs have Ramuh, and Sahagiin have Leviathan, but do Goblins have one?
I believe the only Primal to be announced that doesn't have an obvious affiliation (to my knowledge) is Shiva, so do you think she is the Primal for the Goblins, or do you think there's another Primal waiting in the wings?
Do Goblins have their own Primal?

The Gigas/giants worship Shiva.

Oh cool, I didn't know that. I guess that makes sense, since you find them mostly in Coerthas.
So then Goblins have nothing right now? -

I would have placed their affinity somewhere in the region of Titan or perhaps they're worshippers of Byregot & the 12?
I'm not too savvy on any of the lore really, so this is just utter ignorant speculation, but Eorzeans worship the 12 and not primals, but are considered of the same ilk (Gods). Wouldn't it be too hard to believe the somewhat civilised Goblins who work with Eorzeans in trade and craft to worship a deity of crafting and smithery?
(Byregot being a smith wielding a hammer)

Goblins are a weird race... They are technically neutral, have technology middling between Eorzeans and Garleans in complexity and seem to worship "shinies" more than any primal.

Well, since they are the most enterprising and monetary focused of the beast races, I'd say Yojimbo maybe. "I could kill for you but what's in it for me?"
-
12-14-2013, 01:23 PMMysteltainI was actually about to post that when I read the topic title, haha! I could see a fight against Yojimbo being interesting. Not to go overboard with the idea, but I'd see it as taking place in an arena similar to Ul'Dah's Coliseum, with a crowd of Goblins watching the fight. Throughout the fight blue AoE circles appear that indicate where Goblins are throwing their money, and every time they successfully give Yojimbo their money he gains a stack that boosts his determination, up to 10 stacks. If he's at 10 stacks when he reaches 50% HP, he does an insta-kill. It would be the job of the tank to essentially kite Yojimbo out of their money tosses, while the off-tank holds aggro on his wolf, Daigoro, who he summons part-way into the fight.Quote:

I think a classic summon that would work well as the Goblin's Primal would be Golem. In Final Fantasy VI he was depicted as a guardian machine, which I think would fit the Goblin's more neutral stance and their love of technology. Really though I would just love to see the return of lesser used summons from the past--whether for Goblins or for some other tribe.

Tossing in a bit of Lore for the Goblins, every 100 year they go on a great Pilgrimage leaving the city-states and other various places to venture to a place that is currently unknown. It's called a pilgrimage so it seems to be atleast some kind of religious thing, but who knows it might just be a version of Burning Man. But anyways if SE does introduce a Primal for all "beastribes" (Goblins, Qiqrin, Mamool Ja currently without one) it would probably be about this pilgrimage. Also keeping to the 100 years timeline, the last Pilgrimage would have been 1572, a.k.a. the present day of 1.0. During such times, the Ascians were teaching beastmen to summon their Primal. So we'll see.

12-16-2013, 08:12 PMKyanAccording to the Goblin Perch Fishing Guide item description, their years-long pilgrimage is through Othard and Ilsabard, the other two of the "three great continents".Quote:

Seeing Goblins are the "humans" of the beastman races I don't believe they have one. I mean, look in Vana'diel... how many zones are they NOT Goblins?
-
12-17-2013, 02:23 PMNoloeTazierGood find, Othard had Primals long before Aldenard and Vylbrand. If they do worship a Primal it could an Othard only type thing. 100 years of trading, stockpiling crystals/shards? Possible.Quote:
