Hey Rogue..... since 2.0, i saw everywhere plastic >.>

I'd love for Fenrir to be more than just the final boss of Snowcloak, but he's probably just going to be the final boss of Snowcloak.

It would be fitting to have Fenrir be more related to Odin's lore surrounding Urth and Amdapor, given Fenrir and Odin's connection in Norse mythology, but the way we've seen it so far implies it'll be tied to Shiva in some way, if not just as a Snowcloak boss. All those primals that had their seals broken, it's fairly safe to assume that some of them are just kickin' around and aren't as prominent as others. All we can do is wait to see how Fenrir fits in and hope it's more interesting than we're giving it credit for so far.

Garuda is a wind summon just like it was in XI and a wind-element monster in the series.

Gilgamesh is not a primal so i dont know what your are talking abut.

Moogle mog was created for a simple reason, the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. Titan was in the 1.0 data from the begining and was suposed to appear in the storyline, iirc they even had it almost ready when it happened and had to replace it with something less... related to the event.
Having Titan or Leviathan after what happened in japan was not a good move so they decided for something more light hearted that didnt require a lot of design, just take a moogle, give it differen hats and we are done.

we will have to defeat fenrir in his dungeon, then when we fight shiva, he rushes to her side to defend her and we enter into the hardest primal battle of all time.

Not to be rude but... who's argument is arbitrary again? Seems you came into this with no understanding of the game's lore.

INB4 FFXI anything...

Never played FFXI.

Wind primal could be anything, Typhon, Choco, Mog, Syldra, the very same Fenrir, Pandemonium from VIII lol... any of these could have been the "wind primal".
We are not talking about they being primals or not, we are talking about them not being Trial Battles, if not being a primal is an excuse to not have a trial battle, then why gilgamesh, king mog or ultima are in the trials are not bosses on their own dungeons?

Arbitrary argument is arbitrary.

Fenrir was being teased since 1.0 as a primal. On the live letters they shown the concept art as "Banshin Fenrir-ru".

This is the first I've heard of this. Would you care to provide a source for this information?

Fenrir's roll is to be steam rolled by players with gear far above the requirements non-stop to feed their desire for new shiny objects from new shiny tomes...

Actually.....Ultima is a last boss in a dungeon....so...

SE can very easily surprise us and have Fenrir be a trial battle on top of being a dungeon boss.
