Ifrit for Summer

Shiva for Winter?

What Primal do you want to see/square off against after the Ifrit fight is introduced in 1.19?

I'd like to Shiva, since Ifrit and Shiva kind of go hand-in-hand, although I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Garuda.

i just hope that since they are using Ifrit as a fight that it does not become excluded as a summon if summoners do come. Hopefully they set it up like they did in FFXI where the primal fights had multiple purposes and was the test for summoners.

Ifrit for Summer, Leviathan for Fall, Shiva for Winter, Garuda for Spring

But Shiva is going to be HOT!!!!!

A Summoner seems like a job for the THM. It would be nice if we got the Ifrit fight along with the Summoner job with 1.20 since it's highly unlikely we'll get it for 1.19. Hopefully you get to obtain the Summon and HOPEFULLY summoning is implemented properly....it would suck if when we finally get it it's either broken or nerfed.

I would swap Leviathan and Garuda. Leviathan is usually associated with water, which would be more suited for spring. And Garuda being associated with wind makes me think of leaves blowing from the trees in autumn...

I'd say Titan for Fall

I just want to see Ifrit in a swimsuit. Then meet him on the beach and talk about our serious businesses.

Carbuncle Spring, Ifrit Summer, Hades Fall, Shiva Winter.

Garuda should be in the fall (windy part of the year; leaves also falling gives a visible cue to air and wind)
Shiva in the winter (ice/snow and such)
Leviathan in the spring (rain and such)

saying that I don't think we will get them so quick, maybe twice a year if anything until of course we are paying for the game then I think it might pick up.

Leviathan, Ifrit, Garuda, Titan and Bahamut(wyrmking) already exist in the lore, with models of Titan and Ifrit (plus Leviathan) in the .dats. so we're most likely to see them first.

Doesn't make sense putting Garuda in fall. Seeing leaves fall to the ground is a sign of death. Going back on Greek mythology, Hades wife Persephone, goes to the underworld signalling death(fall/winter) until spring when she leaves the underworld bringing warmth and life back into the land. So, I think Hades fits this perfectly since Halloween is also a festival for spooky stuff thus fitting Hades into this time frame even more. Anyways, whose to say this would actually happen lol

We'd have to see new Beastmen in theory to have Shiva around. As it stands, there's only Titan, Ifrit, Ramuh, Garuda, and Leviathan's beast tribes actively mentioned in lore. The primals can only be summoned by beastmen, so, we'd have to have said race around to perform the ritual.

The Kobolds worship Titan. (As obvious by their flag, culture, and if you do some digging there's 100% proof in the .DATs)

The Amalj'aa of course worship Ifrit, as we all know.

It is easy to assume the Ixal worship Garuda, as they are bird-like and use aero-based abilities.

The Sylph are quite magically-inclined, and their flag has a lightning bolt on it if I am not mistaken. I think they even drop lightning clusters. Ramuh is probably their primal.

The Sahagin and Leviathan are self explanatory.

...Now Shiva is a tricky one, but I have a theory on that. There's a quest out there that mentions there is a group of blacksmiths that work under the banner of "The Gigas Forge". It could have been named after the Gigas, which in FFXI had incredible strength - a powerful trait for a blacksmith.

It's very well possible that the Gigas are the beastmen tribe of the northern regions, and they worship Shiva.

Ifrit tells us not to summon anymore primals and then our path companion is all "wtf? We can summon?"

Well, those gifted with the Echo don't really count in my opinion, as they are considered beastmen by the empire anyways. Each primal has a beast tribe behind it. I'm positive Shiva will be no different.

For some reason I pictured Ifrit on a beach, playing Parley. He'd become really upset and flip the board over, sending tiles flying everywhere.

I thought the Ifrit fight was confirmed to be in 1.19, but someone in another thread says no. Will it be in 1.19 or did I just get that in my head erroneously somehow?

I was talking about the "have to have said race around" part.

Sorry to necro, but thought I'd resurrect this instead of starting a new thread. Yoshida mentioned in the new letter that 1.20 will see more primal content, so this question is again relevant.

Who do you guys want to see next? Who do you think we're likely to see next? Titan, Garuda, Leviathan?

Yeah that would make more sense. I hope titan looks badass in this one and not at all like he did in XI.
