Do the Primals Know Each Other?

[Anonymoose]

I keep forgetting to mention this in primal discussions involving Shiva, but better late than never.

There's a big discrepancy in how she's referred to. Ysayle and Minfilia specifically mention the soul of Saint Shiva being invited to possess a host body, but the Ascians (in the previous patch, 2.3) specifically say that Eorzea is fertile ground for divine seeds and that, by nurturing the Gifted, given the right tools, man will fashion a new god. It begs to be read as, "By next patch, we'll have spurned the existence of a new primal using an Echo user and raw zealotry." and then suddenly Shiva appears.

Which one is the false hint? Either?

I can't get over the suspicion that Ysale offered her body to "the soul of Shiva," but what showed up was mostly just... aether and prayer...

And yet Ramuh had a "soul orb."

PAH.
