*SPOILER* So I think the new primal in 3.5 part 2 is...

Yeah, I also believe that Ilberd will be able to control (or be) the Primal in the same vein as Thordan and Ysayle. It might even be a more advanced method. Ilberd does not strike me as someone who trust anyone to liberate Ala Mhigo besides himself, so him turning himself into a Primal so that he can guarantee that it'll be liberated and rule the way he sees fit. Maybe that's why Yuyuhase decided to stick with Ilberd?

Despite only having the Illuminati (or whatever)Alexander became so powerful because of the Tupsimati-like horn that became his core. The same thing could be said about 2 of Nidhogg's eye. In the span of just hours, one eye was able to break through Azsys Lla's barrier and kill off Igeyohrm without the need of human sacrifice ala Moenbryda had to do despite having Tupsimati gather Mor Dhona's aether, so I'm pretty sure it collected aether while it was in the abyss.

I am also reminded of how Ga Bu summoned Titan. He never wanted him to be summoned and just wanted to save his parent, but his anger and hatred called him forth.

i dont know if it will straight up be rhalgr but maybe a legion of aetheric unstoppable dead ala mighans that will just march on to stomp the garleans east. Could be a gimmicky trial like steps where we try to keep them at bay or something, but i would expect a trial like steps in the final part of story

Just to expand on this a little:

Ilberd very specifically says he will "become a demon" which implies he either intends to become a primal as Louisoix became Phoenix, or he plans to act as host to a primal as Ysayle and Thordan did. In either case there is heavy implication that Ilberd is not entirely dead. This may explain the two human feet we can see within the closing Dalamud.

One thing I'd like to mention: My own interpretation of that line was that while Ilberd may have betrayed us he is completely aware that Primals aren't good things. But if summoning a Primal helps liberate Ala Mhigo he will sell his souls to the darkest devils to do so.

I'd love to have a Primal Ilberd so his ultimate could be called Sloppy.

Doesn't matter what pops out of that Aether Egg, Omega will eat it, we won't fight it.
That egg being there will deter any Garleans from getting close to the Shroud, but Nero will steal Omega, vanquish whatever hatches out of it, and the Empire will welcome him back as a hero.

[Altanas]

Given that there were a sprinkle of Garleans who died, and it is Baelsar's wall afterall, maybe the primal will turn out to be Gaius van Baelsar

Yeah, and Lahabrea is gonna come back. lol.

-Points out that last we saw him his aether was absorbed into the eyes just used to summon a Primal.-

Why yes I am willing to hold onto this notion till the end of the 4.0 series.

Is 3.51 bringing more MSQ? or only in 3.55?

What will 3.51 bring to be honest?
