Brand New Primals

[Prototype909]

I wouldn't be surprised if Alexander is construed similar to his appearance in FF XI - man-made colossus (Either Ishgard, Allag or a combination of the two) but serving as the vessel to the actual primal who otherwise has no form.

They've already shown the technology to capture primals exists through Ultima Weapon, Alexander would just be taking that a step further.

[KamikazeMan]

Fenrir and Typhoon will definitely come, though I don't know if it will be after Shiva. My guess is that we may see Zodiark and his summoning may be involved with the expansion coming in (supposedly) 2.6 or 2.7. SE said early 2015, but plans may have changed.

[Ghastly]

I think a fun way to make open world primals work is that they can be linkshell related (you get more people engaged and more boss mechanics to deal with).

For example
Uldah npc asks you to donate 1000 cactuar materials to create crystals to spawn the cactuar primal.

This is similar to a HUNT (new system they're adding) so they can just add open world (FC/Linkshell) primals to these hunts.

I would like to see more primals added to the game but what they could do is a large 8 man dungeon that has monster and sub bosses that leads up killing the final boss being the primal and not the what we have atm with just fighting him right off the bat also with open world primal be it fate or just randomly spawning as long as they dont spawn in dumb location like odin so every player be on PC,ps4 and ps3 can see him and not the cluster fuck of spell effect we have atm

Primal: Soggy Banana
Appearance: Very, very large; very, very soggy.
Special Moves:
Rot - Makes the banana soggier, grossing out 40% of all players within 18 zones of the soggy banana.
Squishy Goop - Makes a gross squishing sound when you touch it. And ew! Its all over your hands!
Kamehameha Beam - Does 75,000,000 damage to all players logged in on all servers.

Other Notes:
- Its hit points can only be calculated by a large super-computer owned jointly by the seven richest Kings of Europe, and can only be expressed in scientific notation that involves googolplexi.
- Goes great with honey nut Cheerios.
- The brown part is still good! Eat it! We're on a budget!

I absolutely adore the Primal fights, figuring out their lore, and I'm irrevocably and totally in love with all things Summoner. So with each new primal springs eternal a new hope for a new summon for me. But I love each Primal's story either way so...

I hope we see Fenrir as a Primal (If not, SMN MOUNT!)
Cait Sith

Alexander

I hope Cait Sith and Fenrir become summonable that way eventually we can have 1 Egi per element (even though lolelementalanythinginthisgame) I just like having even balance to that sort of thing, having all 8. Water,Lightning,Earth,Wind,Ice,Fire,Light,Dark plus it'll be an even number that way too!

We know we'll keep getting the old Shiva, Alexander, and etc.
What about new primals?

I'd love to see some of the mobs get a new primal. My number 1 being a Goobbue primal. or Cactuars!

And of course that would be great for Summoners

What mob family do you want to see get a primal?

Any mob that has a mythological connection. All the primals shwon so far are figures from mythology.

Ifrit - Islamic lore, a group of djinn.
Titan - Greek mythology, group is gods that were overthrown and succeeded by the Olympians
Garuda - Bhuddism and Hinduism, a giant bird (or bird man)
Leviathan - the Bible, giant sea serpent
Ramuh - Hinduism, an avatar of Vishnu
Shiva - Hinduism, one of the Devas
Odin - Norse Myhtology, the all-father and top god of the Aesir
Bahamut - Arabic myth, an elephant or hippo apparently.

Note that the depictions are different compared to the source myths (Odin as a Black Knight, Bahamut as a dragon, Shiva's genderswap and Ramuh taking element s from Zeus for starters), but the point is that all the primals are based on mythological characters (or a group thereof) so basing them off mobs would be diffcult and would result in an offputting and maybe insulting experience if that aspect is eschewed.

But that's only because they've gone with the most well known Summons as Primals so far (barring maybe Garuda) not every summon in the series has had a mythological/religious link. Such as, a giant cactus...

How most of these could/would fit into the lore is yet to be seen, but there are a ton of options I'd
love to see added in.

Those are already in the lore actually.
