What's Next? Story/Level/Class?

I'm not so sure I agree, at least concerning the nation of Doma. The official 2.2 website says this under Yugiri's image:

Oh, she might not be from one of the far eastern holdouts; I'm just saying that we know that Garlemald doesn't have complete rule of Othardian city-states. It sounds like she specifically is from one that's in an Ala Mhigo situation. What I mean is that it it wouldn't require crossing vast amounts of Garlean territory for them to get to us; she could just get to a freehold and stow away on a trade galley, perhaps. It's an interesting theory, to be sure, but the beast tribes tend to have much more "non-humanoid" body shapes whereas Yigiri's is quite "normal" aside from the ear/horn/protrusions. This implies more of a new a new race more than new tribe (SUPERFICIALLY). Not to say that primals can't be summoned by races and clans, but I found the quote we're looking for:

For 2.1 we’re going to bring back Good King Moogle Mog, as well as add a new level of Titan, Garuda and Ifrit battles… super, hard, ultra, hyper… we don’t know what we’ll call them yet. As for Ramuh, Leviathan and Shiva…one will be appearing in 2.2 but we can’t say anymore right now because it affects the story line. Shiva will be the Primal of a beast tribe that no one has seen. As for when the Free Companies will be able to summon the Primals, we’re thinking 2.2 or 2.3. That’s when the Primals will start entering the fields.

This was a few days after launch, so Mor Dhona's Gigas tribe (higher than the giants and the hecatons) had just been introduced; they weren't familiar, but they'd been seen.
