think of the fat chocobo shenanigans. it would be the best fight of all time.

Didn't Endwalker put an end to the concept of Primal = Bad?
It did. We also now know that the tribes know how to summon benign Primals that don't temper.
Having said that, Valigarmanda/Tritoch from FFVI has been announced as a trial battle in DT, and we know Asura from FFIV will be a fight also still to come in patch 6.5 presumedly... so maybe SE hasn't entirelly finished with the idea of Primal fights yet.
Fat Chocobo is also a mount too already so there is that.
Kinda upset still they didn't finish the trio in Stormblood and have a trial vs Amaterasu after giving us Susano and Tsukiyomi.
A trial vs a primal version of a Fat Chocobo tho... would need to be heavily comical.
We have technically solved the issue of primal summoning in our known world.
But Meracydia still exists, and the warring triad are a great example of how their summoning goes.
There is a good chance we may se some alternate primals from that region, and i hope we do, because that means more battle content for the game.
The only time I could see this being appropriate is if they stick in like a Hildebrand quest or something.
Red Meteor, the Red Fat Chocobo.
If you did Bozja, you know.
Doesn't have to be a primal, could be genetically modified(?)
We could have our own Chocobozilla

We didn't really "solve" primals, we just got better informed about them. They still need large amounts of aether to manifest and still need to be maintained with aether, absorbing it from the environment. That doesn't mean that those not-in-the-know won't continue to summon them, though. Honestly, from what we've seen ascians aren't even really needed to teach summoning as long as the requisite factors exist.
Back to topic: I would love a fat chocobo primal, even if it is relegated to Hilde. It could be very fun with very unique mechanics.
The cinematic super attack where it flies high into the sky then stops flapping it's wings to fall butt first from the heavens with the force of the colony drop from Gundam... >.>
Fat Chocobo primal without question would need to have a slice of cake involved.
Ah, but we have 'solved' them, on multiple points:
1. the world now has an effective cure for what made Primals so dangerous and almost impossible to deal with - namely tempering, thanks to Alisaie and that Allagan guy.
2. the world now has an effective protection against tempering in the first place (other than possessingthe Echothe Blessing of Light), thanks to Nidhana and the Thavnairian alchemists. Thus allowing regular forces can easily go and destroy any that do show up, reducing them to the power level of a regular beast causing trouble.
3. the primary force driving the summoning of them (including how to summon Primals 'properly') has been destroyed - namely, the Unsundered Ascians are all dead, Zodiark is destroyed, and the goal of the Rejoinings to recreate the Unsundered World died with them. Leaving a handful of still-tempered but Sundered overlords and an unknown number of black masked flunkies who are now scattered and leaderless, and probably free to puruse their own goals. But summoning probably won't be a part of it now that the sting has been removed from their tail. Or if Primals are part of their plans, it would amount to nothing more than a mild annoyance at worst - why else was the Magus Sisters and Anima reduced to mere end of dungeon bosses in EW? To show specifically just how de-powered the Primal threat has now become.
4. We now know that the Ascians had made an 'alteration' to the rites to make Primals temper in the first place, and the beast tribes that were summoning (who have had their tempering cured and are now allied with the protagonists), know how to summon Primals 'properly' without the 'extra lines of code' to make them tempering monstrosities. So 'benign' Primals showing up is probably possible.
Either way, although its possible one of the Sundered Ascians is still teaching Primal summoning in places like Tural, I somewhat doubt it because it serves little purpose narrative wise other than "cause mayhem for no reason" (of which mundane monsters or voidsent are a far easier force to utilize).
God Chongus Choco Chonk. May his name forever within pur cholesterol riddled hearts.
