Is Hydaelyn a primal?

We don't know what hydaelyn is exactly she has some kind of tempering ability, linked to the echo that protect us from other primals, but don't seem( to be able ? )to control us.

We could very well believe we have freedom of choice only because our master tells us we do.

So she tells us to stand in our inn, que up for dungeons, cap sold, never talk to anyone? :P

Would be a good explanation as to why all we can ever do is "stoically nod" against our will. We certainly have little to no freedom in any of the cutscenes/plot.

As if that's not the first time the player character is nothing but a passive spectator - FFXI did this too (and it was even worse, they literally stood there and said nothing every time). Yet FFXI had nothing even remotely similar to FFXIV's plot device of tempering and Primals, pretty much blowing this theory out of the water. A player character being a passive, silent protagonist has been a common trope in many Square games in the past (*cough* Chrono Cross *cough cough*) so this isn't an exception.

If they follow the creativity of FFXI she could actually have a physical manifestation beyond just being the planet or Mothercrystal.
