STORMBLOOD Primals

[Theodric]

I would not be opposed to the 'Four Fiends' being Primals/Eikons much in the same way as the Triad. I think they'd make for pretty interesting encounters in a similar side story.

FFX had some very interesting summons too, so the likes of Yojimbo and Anima could make an appearance. The latter, especially, would be perfect for a creepy encounter!

Then there's FFIX - which has a fair few Eidolons that could be inspiration for future battles.

I kind of hope they create brand new Primals, specifically for FFXIV. I want to see what they can come up with, without resorting to borrowing from their earlier works. It seems like most Pimals represent an element (Titan's earth, Ifrit's fire, Garuda's wind, Alexander's... something...) I'd like to see a Primal with divine properties, that wields holy magicks, unless Thordan and his Knights of Round have that covered. I can't remember.

Real questions is when are "Summoners" going to get more egis? It's been long enough and at this point I'm thinking they will never be added.

The devs have discussed this a lot. I'll explain briefly but I suggest you do your own research. The devs cannot (will not) give SMN new egis because each egi represents 4 skills and a buttload of balancing. Even one new egi can change SMN drastically, which is why they decided to go down the trance route, and instead propose egi glamour for those who don't like the look of these 3 (supposedly releasing in 3.5).

Also... of the three egis, only one is ever used, if we had four, only one would ever get used, what a massive waste of resources that would be.

Alexander is Holy/Light-based, the FF version of divine stuffs. The basic primals are single element, Ravan and Bismarck were dual (or arguably tri for Bis) and the Warring Triad are ???. Making more dual element primals would be a good place to start, plus more Light/Dark primals would add some variety to the mix.

I just want Greiver to exist in FFXIV at some point.

We have to throw gil at him to prevent him from using Zanmoto.

Raiden, Eden, Brothers, Pandemona, etc. Those would be cool.

I'm still holding out hope that we get another as yet unannounced primal in the 3.X run.
I fight it slightly weird that we have no ice/lightning primal to round out the air/water/Bismarck and fire/earth/Ravana set.

I know exactly what you mean.

To those denying Rhalgr can't be one of the Primals we will face, mind you that Fernehalwes has been dropping the hint that is very well possible. To the point, he said something along the lines of "well, imagine there's a deity with the name Ifrit in X, but this Ifrit is a benevolent one, instead of a vengeful one. Then yes, you can have a Primal named Ifrit that is much different to the one we know."

Admittedly I'd love to see Ixion, but I find him hard to fit in stylelistically to Stormblood...

Centaur Beast-tribe? lol
