Endwalker was a great mess(SPOILERS)

[Driavna]

...and then, right at the end of this very expansion, a throwaway line of dialogue reveals that Primals aren't actually bad after all.

They're not going anywhere. Nor was it critiqued when Eden was used to restore the Empty over on the First using...Primals. A very similar process to what Zodiark did back before the world was Sundered and even after the world was Sundered, we learn that he was the only thing keeping the Final Days at bay - therefore buying time for everybody.

Lack of consistency will always be a problem with FFXIV, you can tell they had an idea and they flipped to another one. As I said before, the more you think about everything the less sense it makes. It's like how inconsistent tempering was, during ARR it happens if the primal was around, yet during HW Cid pilot the airship during the whale thingy. Later on during SB it worked differently and we can shield others from it.

Oh, and that last bit, what I understood is that said primals were in reality just regular concepts of creation magic. Witch make the whole Ancient temper from Zodriak even more silly, like why would the ancients temper themselves?

Edit: I just forgot to mention: both twins not getting temper when metting with their grandpa during Bahamut coil raid series. Not to mention primals tempering primals... ouch.
