    Ifrit. Nothing to do with mechanics or anything, it's just that he's just really boring.

    Bismark because you don't actually fight him. He's just a combat hazard and soft-enrage bot.

    I usually judge a Primal on aesthetics, so I have to say my least favorite is Ifrit. Which is unfortunate, because he's always been my favorite summon in the series. I understand that they probably wanted his design in XIV to be more reminiscent of his followers (the Amalj'aa), but it's just so severely bland and underwhelming compared to the likes of this:

    Makes me wish the Amalj'aa were more doglike if it means Ifrit keeping that design.

    Finally, someone else understands. For what's supposed to be your first primal you'd expect it to have a really well-thought design that leaves a lasting impression on players on what they're up against.
    Instead you're greeted with [generic vocal track] which I can't even recall the melody of and this really boring looking demon thing. It's such an anti-climatic moment in my opinion. There are mobs with more detail than Ifrit.

    Byakko. The first couple times was fun but I can't stand the 2 minute intermission when falling from the sky.

    For a fight you're supposed to do 99 times at most, Shinryu has way too many things going on for me, it's too long and mentally draining.

    Cool fight to prog and do once, repeated visits are a chore.

    I also don't like how EX ruined the transition by... not having the Royal Menagerie at all? The transition into the Protostar is the coolest part of normal mode but whatever I guess

    Odin at Urth's Fount trial.

    Reason - it is not in trial roulette. It is a literal shame it is not (or at least I got told so) - the only thing spicy about it is the tankbuster. I wish it was added to the trial roulette list.

    From an "aesthic" point of view: Ifrit and Zurvan. Both are those rather boring, red-black demon-like things. As some others I really liked the FFX-design of Ifrit, even though, thinking about it now, almost no other one (that I can recall right now).

    Gameplaywise: Bismarck. Even though I think they messed up Ravana even more, seeing how thats actually a fight with mechanics, that could be so easly skipped however that people were doing that 2 weeks after laucnh (and yes, thats exaggerating, but my point it: even though I've played through all of HW and did the fight relatively early, I only had to do the mechanics once - after that... all skip.
    For ARR its probably Leviathan with the whole "press this button in time"-thing - specially because you have to wait for the aether to charge. Granted, less of a problem when the fight was current, hella annoying now.

    Music: Zurvan. Mostly because I was extremly disappointed that they were no vocals - dont get me wrong, I like the all instrumental pieces, but they make the songs with vocals really stand out and I liked both Sephirot and Sophia a lot for those vocals alone and was eager to hear what they'd do for Zurvan... and then it was... nothing.

    Most annoying to farm: For me that was Ramuh - he didnt wanted to give me his freaking pony and was almost impossible to beat in PF-groups, eventually my static farmed him for me and everyone made very sure that I got the first pony that dropped after they had witnessed me spiraling into despair and madness after three weeks of PF/DF-Ramuh.

    Back when I was a little newbie, I was scared of Titan and he would have been my least favorite primal - hands down. Such a stressful fight with my connection- and skill-lag... and his weapons are still some of the most ugly ones in the game (depending on the job). I have to admit that I'm also not to fond of his general design.

    For me the biggest problem with Zirvan's music is that they gave him two themes. I actually rather enjoy the Phase 3 music but by the time it plays the fight's almost over. Phase 2 is way too short, quiet, basic and repetitive for the track that plays throughout the majority of the encounter.

    Zurvan is my least favorite fight just the execution of it seemed flawed especially the “skip soar” stuff that happened. I also didn’t like any of the aesthetics of that fight, of all the warring triad he had to be the most boring fight.

    Also just not a fan of shinryu, from a mechanics stand point learning the fight can be fun. However, I just didn’t care for camera angles in the fight to try and see where stuff was coming from. It just wasn’t the fight for me.
