Beast Tribes and Primals

[Antonio_Xul]

Well, if this official artwork is taken as any indication, Shiva would indeed be the 'final' Primal to be added, as all the other Primals shown on this image are either already in the game, will be added shortly, or mentioned directly as part of the storyline (it's interesting that even Good King Moggle Mog is shown there as well):



Having said that though, the original 1.0 opening movie clearly showed innumerable 'Primals' escaping (as beams of light) from Silvertear Lake when the Agrius and Midgardsormr crashed into it, rupturing the seal that contained them beneath the lake, so it's likely that 'group of nine' pic are not the only Primals that will be appearing in ARR. But then I guess we'll see in time.

Well that's cool! Looks like my guess might be correct.

I also wouldn't doubt that other former summons will come out as primals as well. Another guess I have is Quetzacoatl. I think he will be involved with the Ixal since he is a Bird and the Ixal characters tend to have Aztec type names like Gozol Itzcan, Nezul Cattlan, Yotoli Hueloc, Kozol Nomotl, etc. & their origin is in a place called Xelphatol. When I see those words, it just reminds me of the Aztecs.

A nice theory, but as far as is known, beastmen only worship a single Primal, and the Ixal Primal is already well known and in the game, namely, Garuda.

Although having said that, your idea about Quetzalcoatl might open up other possibilities, given the Garuda story makes mention of her fighting the evil 'lord of snakes', and Quetzalcoatl in Aztec myth of course is the feathered serpent. *Ears perk and rubs her chin* Bugger, now I'll be thinking of this idea for days!

Maybe Quetzalcoatl will show when they add Xelphatol to the explorable map with new beast worshippers or something.
