The forced conscription angle is very interesting, especially with the 'Battle Royale' style collar that promises a very traumatic death in exchange for non-compliance. It also highlights once again that the Eorzeans do not shy away from forced conscription and painful torture even when they condemn others for resorting to such measures.

That Primals are shown to be a continued threat is not entirely unexpected. It does show that the hostile elements of certain Beast Tribes will not back down, though. Which begs the question as to how such a cycle can even be brought to an end.
