Summons ≠ Primals

pri·mal
adjective \ˈprī-məl\

: very basic and powerful

I believe they are called primals because they are the basic elements. Hence why, for example, Moggle Mog is not considered a primal. However, the method of calling upon a deity-like being like Moggle Mog could certainly apply to previous summons, but that wouldn't make them a primal.

id like to see the elemental primals come back as harder versions of what we have now in the future

Fire --> Belias
Ice --> Mateus
Lightning --> Adramalech
Earth --> Kujata
Wind --> Pandemona
Water --> Cuchulainn

We have:

Ifrit = Fire
Shiva = Ice
Ramuh = Thunder
Titan = Earth
Garuda = Wind
Leviathon = Water

We have no elements left. The dev team has spoken to moving away from the "primal threat" as a main storyline piece, so the likelihood of them continuing to introduce Primals (at least in the lore context of the game) is low.

However, I think it is very likely that in 2.5 or 2.6 we will see something omnipotent to bring the primal storyline to a close. I would imagine something like Tiamat in 2.5 and some portion of Bahamut's body to fight in 2.6.

In 3.0 I'm betting on things like Fenrir, Alexander, etc will be introduced in much the same ways that primals have, but as something NOT a primal in the lore context of FFXIV - they seem fond of the trial system. I could see Alexander as a Bahamut-esque figure in 3.0 going along with the religious aspects that seem to be associated with Ishgard.


NOTE: I was typing this post before the one above me was posted! lol

lol all good.

However, we are missing 2 classic FF elements: Light and Dark. Alexander is an obvious choice for the light primal imo, and for dark there is... Anima and Hades if we are going to follow the "summon = primal" model.

The espers from FFXII are also good candidates for some primals as well. Light = Ultima, Dark = Zodiark.

Again, just throwing things out there.

Light = Hydaelyn
Dark = Zodiark

No big news here

Raiden - more extreme trial version of Odin

Four fiends trial - from IV, would be pretty cool to have to get in some kind of tag team fight where they randomly join in and start mixing up the elements.

Jumbo cactuar - I could see being a cutters cry HM boss.
