Thats what I was thinking. We've had bosses every patch. Maybe this time it will be an actual dungeon?

Ferir role will be like Siren and Diabolos, final boss of their dungeon, end of story.

Sad last unjustified last boss of a low level dungeon.

Will be some sort of guardian of shiva that you will have to defeat first to just find out later that their intentions were not meant and they were manipulated. That is to try to develop a superficial very cliche guilty/sad feeling on the character that will never be a thing cause most players don`t even care about what is fenrir and shiva, they just will rush the dungeon to free shiva EX and get gear for TCoB and the players who care, are all disapointed already. So that.

Neither does Garuda, Gilgamesh or King Mog. Arbitrary argument is arbitrary.

Who cares anyway? People will just complain how easy fighting that monster is and eventually ignore it for other dungeons to speed run.

She's clearly the mount for Shiva and the Guardian before you get to her

If you watch the 1.0 opening movie, you can see dozens upon dozens of Primals being freed from beneath Silvertear Lake. There can't be only one Primal per element with how many of them. There's nothing that even says they have to be elementally aspected. There could even be astral- and umbral-aspected Primals out there.

I always thought Fenrir was going to end up being the Primal of the Lambs of Dalamud. In the lore, before Dalamud came crashing down, it was known as the Hound of Menphina (the moon). If they'd chosen to make him a Primal, Fenrir could've been an umbral ice Primal.

Garuda's element is wind, Gilgamesh isn't a Primal, and King Mog doesn't follow the normal rules because he isn't a true Primal. He's a mythical being summoned into existence by the same process.
