New Years Poem 2015

I still don't understand why they just didn't go with that first, instead of making all this light crystal thing that doesn't seem to work correctly, it's not like killing a primal would be an issue.

Do you mean Auracite? I believe it's a focus because it will trap the Ascians temporarily and allow us to hit them with a burst of Aether to defeat them permanently. Lahabrea managed to escape remember.

Still I wonder if the secret trial will be Halone, considering how religious the Ishgardians are and with the recent return of primals, the summoning of Shiva by the heretics and ascians having a plan regarding summoning primals while using someone as a catalyst.

I wonder... Currently I'm assuming the mystery trial will just be another Ultima Ballad style thing, I recall mention of a Gaius rematch being mentioned a few times so I assume it'll be that. I can't quite see it being story related when it's in 2.5, not 2.51 onwards.

Yes, but he didn't got eat by a primal the same way the sahagin priest was, It seemed to be a good way to send the spirit of the ascian to the sea of stars by linking it to a primal so that once it is defeated it takes the ascian with it same way the sahagin didn't come back after it was eat and leviathan was defeated.

I went back and check the "What little Gods are made of" cutscene, and they explained that the Sahagin was defeated because his "soul" had no place to retreat to, while the Ascians use the Dark Crystals to retreat to their own little pocket dimension. So we need to trap the Ascian (in Auracite) for the Primal to eat them.

Basically I think Auracite is going to become Ascian flavored Pez that we feed to Primals...
