Brand New Primals

[Morningstar1337]

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.

Lol, this is very true. Sorry, I'm really sick today and can't quite brain. x.x

Actually I haven't seen the XII!Espers there besides Zoridark. The Ascians take their names from the LIGHT scions, the Espers are DARK scions (Though Ultima is in both groups and I don't think the XII version of Zoridark is in ether group, having preceded the others)

We hear about Belias in the SMN final quest, and fight a Belias-Egi, it's likely since there are 13 main ascian ( Elidibus being Zodiark's Ascian ) it would be likely to see them at some point.

I would like to see more primals, but only if they move away of the fully scripted dance system they use right now, the story is fun, the lore is fun but the battle is not.
