The Elder Primal Alexander

It would be too FFXI and FFIX if they threw in Alexander, we can't have that.

How so? You do know Alexander was in more then just those two games right?

Those are the only two games Alexander served a plot purpose. I think. I'm just guessing, I didn't play XI.

Serving a plot purpose doesn't dictate if they can be included. Out of all the current primals, only Bahamut has ever had a true impact on the story of a FF game. Alexander has appeared in many FF games, thus he is recognizable by fans, thus worth including.

Alexander was never a plot point in FF9, he was just there. I cannot speak for 11, and which every FFcrapteen(13) game he was in)

He was a pretty important plot points. Brahne was chasing Garnet to get back the jewel required to summon him. Kuja and Garland wanted him summoned so they could enslave and use his power (Or just to kill him? It's been a while since I played it.)

Kuja wanted to enslave him. As I understand it, Garland just wanted to make a point, and so blew up Alexander, and the rest of Alexandria while he was at it.

XIV community largely hates any concept from XI and other past FF games that isn't VI or VII being introduced in this game. In IX, he served a plot point of Alexandria literally being Alexander and when the time comes he's summoned (normally) which he did so to protect not only Eiko and Garnet, but most of Alexandria when bahamut attacked. In XI, his actual body is the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins, also known as 'Nyzul Isle' which comprised of multiple content including Salvage - His purpose is to bring about the age of judgment, ragnarok etc and Odin is pretty much his rival. So the story revolves around the empire trying to basically control Alexander which they didn't count on his spirit inhabiting their machine they created in his likeness.

It was mostly a poke at how this community usually goes into absolute rage if you bring up any FF that isn't VI or VII or that happens to be XI (which gave many summons actual lore and back stories.)
