More primals than elements?

[RolandDebreton]

I think using the summons, aeons, etc. for Eorzea and the espers for "foreign" primals could be a really fun idea.

The idea of fighting Zeromus, Exodus, Adrammelech and Chaos (as nods to previous FF bosses even) again as say a "foreign esper" gives me chills. Talk about a fan-services two-fer. They would need to tinker with them a bit and make the main-line series espers look a hint more like Chaos of I, Zeromus of IV and Exodus/Exdeath of V (opinion of course). Alas, I've gone from intended course.

To add my own thoughts, I would say that it was never implied that a Primal absolutely 'has' to have some elemental alignment. Though I think an alignment of some kind is implied simply by their nature as deities representing aspects of the world.

If each beastman tribe is able to summon a primal then, Goblins, Dragons (If Bahamut isn't theirs), Tonberries, Qiqirn, Mamool Ja and so on would need their own. Can you imagine a Tonberry primal? It wouldn't seem elemental, it would have to simply be a dark, pyschotic being:
