Oha-Sok

[Nalien]

Primals and Eikons aren't the same thing.

As far as I'm aware, Eikons are Primals... It's a finger/thumb thing; All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs. All Eikons are Primals, they adhere to the same set of rules (draining aether/etc.), but they have some special property that makes them distinct, meaning not all Primals are Eikons. What ever caused the Allag to make that distinction is unknown, but we could do exactly the same thing; Shiva and Thordan are Espers, Primals specifically summoned onto and controlled by an individual. They're still Primals, but that distinction is worth noting and potentially labeling...

In 1.0 Oha Sok hid herself in the Staff Nirvana in order to observe man (and decide whether or not to destroy the world again)

I wonder if there's a connection to the original Nirvana Staff in the Zodiac Braves? All the description was that it was a staff that gain consciousness as soon as it's owner "ascended" But what if Oha Sok did the same thing (sealed herself within Nirvana) and decided to help save mankind in the Zodiac Brave's time?

Or, Oha Sok was created by the Zodiac Braves Nirvana (didn't their weapons only gain consciousness at the end of their quest?) and later settled down in Twelveswood? What was the timeline on the Zodiac Braves again? What happens to a conscious weapon over the years? Does it live longer than its owner? Does it die at all?

We're now forcibly giving weapons consciousness with the Anima weapons quest and, fancy that, they manifest themselves very similarly to how the Elementals and Oha Sok used to...

Yeah, I was wondering about the connection between Elementals and the manifested anima. Many people seem to think it's just recycled assets, especially since Elementals are no longer seen (except for that 1 CNJ quest in 2.0)

The time line is iffy, but isn't the Zodiac Braves Heroes of the 6th Umbral (Flood) Era; which will mean that the Elementals predated them since they taught the Amdapori WHM
