A few thoughts on Primals.

[Kazamoto]

Hello, being the special snowflake I am, I just had to share this thought I thinked.

Each of the primals we have fought so far, Garuda. Ifrit, and Titan, relate to agressive beast tribes in Eorzia.

There are 4 (now 5) primals that we know of and have confirmed.

Garuda - Ixal
Titan - Kobold
Ifrit - Amalj'aa
Ramuh - Slyph

Soon we will have:
Leviathan - Sahagan

And we have fought G-T-I plenty of times now, and have seen images of the Levi fight.

Shiva could be on the horizon, and I would guess she is the primal for the Giants/Gigas. Which would be interesting since there are 3 warring tribes of giants.

Of the sentient and spoken races, there are still:
Tonberry(Unlikely to have a primal, see below)
Qiqirn
Mamool Ja
Goblin
(Also the Demons)

This means there are few more options for primals in the future.
Diabolos as the primal for Qiqirn? But we lack the traditional Light and Dark elements in FFXIV.

But we also have fewer elements in FFXIV, namely Fire (Ifrit), Ice(Shiva), Wind(Garuda), Water(Leviathan), Lightning(Ramuh), Earth(Titan).

Most consider Bahamut an elder primal, and he is traditionally unaspected as far as element.

With all of this, I am left with two questions.

While there are more beast races, what will they do since we lack the elements in game to match up to them?

And,

Why do you all want to fight Ramuh so much?

Dude is just chilling in the woods minding his own business. With the primals from the agressive races it makes sense, but the Slyph are a bunch of floating cabbages happy to stay in the woods, and as long as no one wants to make a big batch of coleslaw it wouldn't really make much sense from a story point of view for Ramuh to do anything other than he is currently doing.
