Primals Unquestionably Bad

[Niniyo]

Having been a fan of previous FF games, however, it's really sad to see them be so evil. In FFIV, for instance, Rydia was very close with Leviathan and the others, and in FFIX they seemed as though they wanted to help Princess Garnet. Even in FFVI, despite causing problems, they ultimately wanted to help.

Why is there such a divide here? Why is it, basically, impossible for a PC to admire the Primals without being either stupid or, essentially, wishing for the end of days?

EDIT: How could I fail to talk about FFX o.o But yes, again, a close relationship is shown between summoner and the Aeons, "Primals", there.

The Primals being evil was one of the most interesting parts of the lore when I first started playing. Every Final Fantasy takes place in a different universe, so part of the fun for me is seeing how classic elements get reinvented every time. I enjoy the summons being the villains :P Can't wait to see what they do with other classics like Shiva and Leviathan.
