Shiva, the last hostile primal? Maybe not.

[Nakiamiie]

I have a feeling we won't see any more primals after 2.5, but instead we'll see powerful magical creatures on other continents. I personally believe we could possibly be heading to Doma in 3.0, so prepare for more Garleans, a lot of FF6 references, and possibly Atma Weapon (the creature).

I'm all up for more FF6 references! xD

Shiva is the last primal of this set and YoshiP has said that following Shiva they're going to move away from the whole primal storyline in 3.0. That doesn't mean we won't see more but they won't be released with each patch as they currently are and they'll hopefully be less throwaway than the ones we currently have. We know that Bahamut and Odin both have huge amounts of story to follow up on so we'll likely see both of these two again. Alexander will almost certainly show up at some point since he's a perfect fit for the Allagans as some kind of hybrid too (which we know they were working on).

The hows and whens of all this is up in the air though. We know that certain things are definitely coming... just no idea when.

Sadly, like Diabolos, Fenrir will probably be stuffed into a 4 man dungeon that serves no purpose after its first week

[CYoung187]

I would like to see Fenrir or Cerberus soon. Maybe a 8 man fight similar to Odin, but instead against Raiden. There are too many good summons they can bring in.

i dunno if it was said, but maybe something will happend that allows primal to be around without the help of the tribes. i means if this happend, even the ascien will win from this. will explain too why they help to make more summoning.
maybe they are trying to breach definitivly the frontier between dimension, allowing them god to come down.

When Yugiri sees Leviathan, she says they have similar creatures also in Doma but they call them by another name.
If no more primals are going added, I don't know what kind of new abilities SMNs could gain. I know we will be able to summon Ramuh and Leviathan sometime in the future, but still ...

It's why I liked the XI SMn, even as the cap raised, our previous summons still got stronger because we got stronger.

I am more interested in Shivas beast tribe. Did the Ishgardians wipe them out? Or are they so few in number due the Ishgardians. It was said that she belongs to a never before seen beast tribe.

I'm guessing it's the Heretics. Sure they love themselves some dragons, but Lady Iceheart is leading them now, and Haurchefant says that they have a fanatical devotion to her. It wouldn't be any stretch to assume that Lady Iceheart is Shiva in disguise (to the Ishgardians, at least) and that the Heretics are the ones who summoned her.

Remember, any group can summon a primal. Gaius even says we could summon the Twelve if we gorged them on aether. There's nothing saying it must be a beastman tribe that does the summoning.

I know I'm late to the conversation but there is no way they are done yet. They have plenty of ideas to draw upon.

Seel this list for brief rundown of summons they could possibly put in.

By comparison to that list, the FFXIV summons are pretty sad.
