The Egi Conundrum: Heavensward and Beyond!

[Exodus-E]

But since Garuda is already a wind aspected Primal I feel it would be more likely for Bismarck to be a different aspect. Unless of course it's possible to have more then one Primal/Egi of the same aspect.

I think it's very possible.
After all, we have Ifrit and Belias, as well as

Phoenix, as shown in T12

for Fire-aspected Primals thus far, so...

Very true, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be able to get more than one Primal/Egi of the same aspect. Perhaps that's why the Summon command abilities are so ambiguously named/described. For example Summon III's description is "Summons an attacker-type pet to fight at your side". This could suggest that more than one type of attacker Egi could be summoned via this command in the future.

It would be nice to see each Egi have a unique role though. I feel Levi would be a great candidate for AoE DPS, Ramuh could provide stuns and paralysis, and Shiva could freeze and provide heavy/slow debuffs. However I feel in regards to Ramuh and Shiva, they will still have a general DPS focus and any debuffs/status ailments they provide will come as a knock on effect from one of their attacks.
