RPG Site: Primal fights will become roaming in 2.0 for the summoning system; are there any specifics you could go into? Will weapons and things like that still be obtainable, and will there still be instanced fights like which are available in the current version?
Yoshida: Most of the primals will not be “roaming” the public areas, and their battles will still be instanced, though it will be more challenging to discover these instances.
Koji: It looks like there was a little bit of misinformation given at the E3 interview (and this may have been my fault, or it may have been Yoshida-san’s). The implication given was that all the primals would be roaming, and once they were summoned, they would pop somewhere else in the world. This is not the case. While roaming primal are still not out of the question, the summonable deities will be instanced-based, with the primal going back to these instances once they’ve been summoned. However, players will still have to look for these instances once they’ve become available, preventing camping.

edit 2: it took me quite a bit of sifting through pages but here is the interview you and the newer interview were refering to and it quite clearly states one of each.

In 2.0 there will only be one of each primal per world. So one Ifrit, maybe one Shiva maybe one Ramuh, per world. These primals will be somewhere in the open world, roaming,and players will need to find them and then get together to defeat the primals.

Thanks for finding these! Ok, I see what you mean about the wandering instances, that makes things a little clearer. But the second interview still sounds ambiguous to me... If it really was one of every Primal in each server, then why does it say "Maybe Shiva, maybe Ramuh".
Does sounds like you were right though, glad they tried to clear that up... I'd've hated being on the only server that had to settle with Ramuh -.-

i agree with you. and i hope so as well that this wont be the case.

on the other side.. isnt it a fact that carbuncle is exclusive only to arcanist? that'd be also a big transition..hopefully that was a false interpretation also... i HOPE.. i really hope that in the next live-interview there is a question about summoner. seriously.

It's verified that Carby is Arcanist-exclusive; summoners can't use him. Makes me think that it's more likely SMNs will have perma-pets, because losing Carby in exchange for single-shot spells would seem like a bit of a step back (Personally, I wouldn't mind it, but I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority).
