Future Primals: Speculation

With Ramuh and Shiva on their way, we have the six basic elements covered. So where do we go after this? I have a few ideas for later additions...

Asura: People call for randomness in fights? This is the place to do it. Her three heads each have a different ability, and she will use one of them at random. Alternatively, she always covers the entire battlefield across three different AoE attacks, and the tanks, dps and healers each need to eat a different one, so players need to keep track of which direction her heads are facing.

Fenrir: I think this would work best as a roaming Primal, like Odin.

Phoenix: Another roaming Primal. However, when slain, it's corpse remains behind where it fell until it rises again.

Alexander: A good candidate for an Imperial Primal, perhaps an artificial Primal created through Magitek.

There are others that could make appearances but I couldn't think of anything specific for, like Knights of the Round, Eden, Maduin or a Chocobo Primal (a white chocobo maybe, like in 12 and 13?). There's also room for the Ivalice summons, considering the existing presence of Belias and Zodiark.

Any other ideas?

I would absolutely love to fight the Ivalice summons. Such incredible designs!

A larger behemoth.

With Odin riding it.

This. I want to fight Zalera, Zeromus, Adrammelech. Hell, all of them would be awesome.

Anyone fancy Alexander? XD

Love FFXII espers...specially Zalera! God what an amazing design.

I would like to see Alexander not like your regular Primal, but an elder one.
A very special elder one!

It would be so cool that Alexander would actually be a moving fortress that is an endgame 8 man raid similar to coil.

i spekulate we may have to fight zodiark in the future butt i also think we may have to fight hydalin as well

tho for primals i think alexander is a iconic holy element with phoenix and for the dark element maybe doomtrain

also eden would be a weird fight since its only 'real' appearance was in ff8 ( ff13 it talked to people using statues it moved so i do not know if we can call those statues part of eden or eden itself)

We could still have 2 more elemental primals, assuming they want to use them:

Light and Dark. Although you could argue Hydalaen and whatever her counterpart was named take the positions for these two elements.

Alexander could take the place for Light otherwise. Not sure about Dark. Fenrir maybe? Or maybe Cerberus, but the big contenders for the dark element have already been used elsewhere.

If they choose to not use them, we should probably look at the other beast tribes. The Goblins, and the lizard people (the ones that aren't the amal'jaa) haven't summoned their primals yet, nor have the rat people. So trying to make primals to fit them would probably be the best bet. I'm not quite sure what to connect to each tribe though...

We've also got The 12, which are implied to be nothing more than Primals for the human tribes. We've already had one group of humans try to summon them (the refugess in Ul'dah, forget their name). I think it's reasonable to see humans summon their primals in response to the primals of the beastmen.

Next one should be Carbuncle.

The undefeated Emerald of the east.

His shining ruby is burning red. It's glow is telling it to defeat you. Take this! His love, his anger, and all of his sorrow! For he'll never join your egi's.

Extreme mode

The undefeated Topaz of the west joins him.

If we ever delve deeper into garlean territory I could see Alexander being a main prescense, Doomtrain someone a while ago came up with an awesome idea about how the train in CM gets corrupted by all the crystals it carries thus turning into Doomtrain.
Hades or anima would be a good candidate for dark primal.
Ixion another I'd love to see, and of course magus sister and knights of the round I'd love to see
Sadly VAlefor got relegated to a trash mob in CT so he's out

Waiting Patiently for Alexander to holy the everloving crap out of my raid group.

Yeah I agree really hoping to see Doomtrain and Alexander as open world fate bosses.

Limsa is actually Alexander in disguise... just look at it.

The rocks will fall away from pillars, the bulk of him rising out of the sea.

Leave it to Merylweb to conceal a massive, mobile fortress.

Pull a little Howl's Moving Castle while we're at it.

Forget fighting Alexander...I want to see him break Bahamut free and kick his butt :D

Alexander is the last boss of CT, and in fact is CT. The 18 man alliance are split into different zones: one party on the ground, one on top of him, and one inside him. They can't see each other, but the mechanics of the three zones have repercussions on each other, so there has to be a lot of chatter between them. Like, the team on top needs to disable his force shield so that the ground team can fire the cannons, but not before the infiltration team have reached the safe zone, etc...

In any case, I think that Alexander should be an Elder Primal. If we need a standard Light Primal, we always have Maduin.

I was always partial to Hades from FFVII. Wouldn't mind seeing him here.

We need Alexander. The last time we saw a "real" Alexander was in XI :(

I hope they do him justice in this game and that it doesn't end up like Diabolos or Siren.

Fenrir would HAVE to be linked to Odin. I posted my theory/idea in the Odin topic of the Lore section.

Alexander would probably be Ishgard's guardian primal, much like Ramuh is the defender of the Sylphs/Gridania.

Phoenix would probably be a summon from a new beast tribe in Southern Thanalan (past the ruins where the zombies are, hence the whole death/rebirth theme).

Cerberus, I think, should be another voidkin like Diabolos. Just makes more sense that way.

Still waiting for Silver Tear to be revived and having to fight a revived Midgardsormr.
