Hey Ferne! You need to explain something curious...

[MicahZerrshia]

Sorry if this has been asked before but why are the primals Elezen?

I know we are leaps and bounds more evolved than any other race out there, but there has to be some link between us and Primals.

If you look at the concept art Shiva is Elezen, Ramuh has the Elezen look/ears and even though you cannot see ears Garuda has tell tale Elezen traits like our long slender neck and facial features, even titan looks like an Elezen who gorged on too much crowned pie!

So whats the connection between Elezen and Primals???

[Kerberon]

Elezen and Lalafell's are creatures of elemental evil and need to be eliminated, situation explained. =P

[Bombast]

Neither Ramuh nor Garuda are Elezen, nor do they look as such.

Shiva does, however. My friend and I think its because the Ishgardians are the ones who will be summoning her.

[Enkidoh]

Just because they have pointy ears does not make the Primals elezen (or lalafell too for that matter). It would be like saying 'they're miqo'te' if one showed up with a tail and animal ears.

Oh, and Garuda is a humanoid bird - of course she has a 'long slender neck' - so do the Ixal that worship her.

Nope, look at this photo.

pure unadulterated evil I tell you.

Btw, in case anyone can't tell.

it's the internet someone would think I was being serious.

... Elezen

The Ultima Weapon. A creation capable of sealing the primals within it, and using their power as its own. But who really built this unstoppable juggernaut of destruction? Could the Allag really have created something this advanced, thousands of years before the advent of modern civilzation?

Or was it, as some Ancient Allagan Theorists believe, crafted by hands not of this realm?

[Catapult]

not of this realm?

Or is it actually of this realm in contrast to what your gut tells you?

Oh mournful voice of creation...

[Crystallis91]

You know maybe not all the Primals are Elezen but there is some new room for speculations according to recent lore from 2.4 (Binding Coils of Bahamut) if my belief is somehow true the Elezen are somehow superior with connection to the Gods and the Echo then other mortal and the power bore from Louisoix and Alisae in the binding Coils of Bahamut are something from a long line of powerful Allagan sorcerers whom may have had a connection to the Twelve themselves. melted down Elezen are superior to other species in terms of connections to the planet's Aether therefore Elezen would likely be the most likely catalysts for creating a Primal most notably Shiva, Ramuh, and Garuda are in fact the most obviously likely to be Elezen before they were even Primals whatever they did that got them turned into Eikons most likely through interacting with the Twelve they became the Primals that we know now.
