Patch 2.3 "Ramuh Primal Fight"

[melflomil]

I'm curious to know if his Primal Music will be more in the vein of Ifrit (big symphonic orchestra piece) or more similar to the last three Primals (rock with lyrics). If the former, it'll give me another song to work on deciphering the lyrics too, heh. I still need to figure out a few bits of Leviathan and the second half of Ultima. But I'd guess Soken'll go with more traditional music for the ol' man. It's more fitting, I think.

Orchestrated is the way to go. Trumpets, violins and cellos. Also a Choir singing in Latin.

It'd be nicer if it was in Romanian.

I'm hoping Ultima Ex will be available as well.

Best part of 2.3.

Still they need a area for Shiva Aethercrystal which means we may be getting a new area in 2.4 or 2.5 for Coerthas.

Still I question when Shiva Primal Fight will be since if it is 2.4 then what will they do for 2.5 since all known primals may be done unless they have Bahamut Primal Fight for 2.5

My money is on that Frozen Waterfall area. For thoe that read quest text, they haven't been able to melt that ice, or get through it to the other side since it happened. While it technically would mean 2 Primals in Coerthas, as a zone, it makes the most sense to me.

I'm currious about why the scions will fight Ramuh.

He was suposed to be rather calm Primal, only caring for his territory and ignoring the outside of his realm.

Did Ramuh get drunk with power like Garuda? Did the "Darkside" influence him? Was his Realm invaded ?
What could force the scions to battle with the wise Ramuh? What could it be ?

Ramuh always struck me as one of those "Stay off my lawn you whipper snappers!" trope. I mean seriously. He has no problem with us if we just stay out of his way and don't harm his sylphs. So clearly, someone stepped on his lawn.

Also.

How shocking!

Pun detected. Preparing to dispense product.

Not unheard of. La Noscea already has two. Titan and Leviathan.

And with 2.3, Ramuh will be tied to the Shroud, same side as Moogle as well. The crystal for Ramuh is already up there in the Sylphlands, been there since they opened the gates for the beastmen dailies.

Now, they need to give a second Primal to Thanalan. Not sure who would be summoning it though, if they went with Beastmen, the only two really left are Qirin and Goblin, neither of which I think they're going to do anything with in that regards. Though the Qirin one makes the most sense. They're far more active in hostility towards people, particularly Highbridge. And Black Brush Station actually now that I think about it.

Would be nice to get to the other side of Coethras, but I'd be more interested if they actually did that to expand the zone, to the Eastern Highlands, rather than you just break the ice and oh look, a crystal. No, they need to expand the actual zone itself.

All this talk about Primals though. I really, really hope when they bring out Alexander they do him proper justice. XI almost seemed like they were going to, always hoped they would show the parts of him coming together in a grand cinematic to face off against Odin, but never happened. Instead, they had use fight a miniature (like, the Egi of himself lol) instead. So disappointing. I enjoy playing SMN, but honestly, I don't even care about having an Alexander Egi, keep him unsummonable, but give him a truly epic role. Not as a dungeon boss, but something far more crucial. Granted, with the FC Primal summoning they always talked about and have yet to do anything with, that would be cool, to summon a full size Alexander during a Frontline battle for instance, or in the field if it called for it. The chance to summon Alexander during an Odin Fate would make up for not having him fight Odin in XI.

hmmm I hope it's more a methodical fight that doesnt put too much pressure on the healer but more on cooperation between players. eg linking a tank and a DD with each other and if you dont perform correctly it'll kill both. I can also imagine having to break his staff at one point in the fight or he'll get a buff that'll boost his dmg a lot. the staff could work as an individual target that keeps attacking whoever has highest hate on it. Also could divide the area. ppl in certain spots will get hit but on the other hand you cant just stack behind him cause if too many ppl are in a close range he'll do a "chain lightning" like attack.

What I hope we won't get is sylph adds. the Sahagin adds during Levi are the only thing I dislike about the fight.

I guess this fight will...

Finally.

Been wanting to kill this pervert for a while. I hope after we kick his butt, we get to take him to court where tempered Sylphs can show us where, on the Wind-up Sylph, the Primal touched them. Oh, that they call themselves "touched ones" is just as coincidence? Sure, and I bet the fact that he has them all high on Milkroot, and pushing it on the untouched Sylphs, is just a coincidence too. Those bondage plants are perfectly natural, too. Cannot wait to kill this dirt bag.

YOU! might actually be on to something IS kinda strange the ones that worship him do turn BLACK!!!! (dominatrix)
