The biggest disappointment with Susano for me is that he didn't really feel tied to the Kojin (or his origin in-game). It felt like Stoned Ravanah and the way it was handled even reeked of, "We need a primal somewhere in here and we want to use Susano, so sure, why not." Had they made him more like Gilgamesh (from F/SN, not so much FF) in that he fought more by spamming/showing off sacred treasures and legendary items, then I'd be less negative about it, but eh...

It could very well be that we'll never see a 100% crystal-free soylent primal, but I think the possibility is there.
Thordan. He used the Eye instead of Crystals to get what he needed.

So there are alternate avenues. Maybe someone just starts siphoning the lifestream?
