The next Dual Element Primals? (Spoiler)

[Alberel]

Hasn't it been said in the storyline that there are already primals summoned all over the planet?

Was it not eikons instead of primals? From my understanding the Warring Triad are not the only sealed eikons, with many others imprisoned all over the world, and the seals are weakening.

SE is trying to move away from the beast tribes I think. It would be a lot less work to simply design a summon to battle without worrying about a related beast tribe. This will also allow the story to have a bit more freedom in terms of how we encounter these new summons since they're no longer bound to a tribe.

My guess is we may encounter a final dual element primal for ice and lightning but beyond that we'll be discovering and defeating unleashed eikons instead. It's becoming apparent to me that the eikons are the true threat here now, whilst the primals were merely pale imitations.

Someone above stated it was Tiamat who said that. I'm not at home so I can't check right now. No more beast tribes would certainly make it easier, and who knows we may end up with more encounters per patch if whole new tribes don't have to be built around them.
