Thread: Primal Predictions for 3.0

Yeah, it mentions in the Dragoon job quests that the Wyrmking is Nidhogg. He returns every few years, and it's up to the Azure Dragoon to repel him.

He did hint at the Knights of the Round, but I don't think they will be a primal fight. They also did confirm that one of the Primals in 3.0 is going to be a completely original one.

the 2.0 series focused pretty heavily on primals. 3.0 seems to be centered heavily around Dragons so the idea of adding more primals or seeing the common plot revolving around primals will most likely be benched.

I suspect for 3.0, we will be fighting Nidhogg and his boy's and/or seeing a continuation of the Ascian Arc. The Ascian's will most likely play a role in every plot till they are dealt with, but I can also see them benched for this fight as well. Eh... *shrugs*

1. the problem is OP, u assume Midgarsormr's form is "unique" among dragons. not to mention the serpentine wyrm on Heavensward logo have a pair of hind legs, which i doubt Midgarsormr have it because it didn't showed up on his corpse
2. if u guys really watched the stream, theres a section where all that left inside final coil3 end is Bahamut's head and neck, no torso mind u. Thats quite a high possibility that shutting down the 3rd beam engine disperse Bahamut back into the aether /POOF

I did watch full free stream, they showed an image of Bahamut in Final Coil where he has his upper torso, right wing, and half of his left wing restored.

Niddhog is the Wyrmking, Midgarsormr is the guardian of MorDhona and Bahamut is an elder primal. I think "elder" just mean is not affiliated to any element or race and "primal" is that he have the same or more strengh than the actual primals. Also Moogle King is not a primal is more like a manifestation on eather by the moogles that call him back.

Fernehalwes, our favourite Songster and floating eyeball, said during the Fanfest that "Elder primals" just meant "A primal from another era whose worship fell into oblivion". He mentioned Odin as in "People were worshipping him, they stopped, he's an elder primal, and now he's somehow back".
Also, Belias is an elder primal and clearly affiliated with fire.
Finally, primals aren't exclusive to certain races, as we had some Leviathan worshippers in Limsa Lominsa (and there's probably a fair bunch of sailors who at least think of him with respect, considering all the superstitions there's on the sea).

As mentioned earlier, this has just been recently explained:

And by very long time, we do mean very, very long ago. As in, at least as long ago as the time of the Allagan Empire, back in the Third Astral Era. By comparison, the Dravanians go back to perhaps a thousand years or more, into the Sixth Astral Era, and perhaps also in Fifth Astral Era. Meaning to say, I doubt Bahamut is the primal of the Dravanians, since he's been around for far, far longer than they have. (At this point, I'd hazard that the Dravanians are the descendants of dragons once enslaved by the Allagans, but are no longer of the same race).

It's anyone's guess what a primal truly is at this moment. The Scions were just as confused as we are about King Moogle Mog XII. He created aetherial disturbances the way a true primal would, even though he wasn't actually "real", in the way the "elemental six" are real, in the sense that they have actual worshippers.

Maybe King Mog is how the primals first started. "Wished" into existence then become as they are over time as they were continually "created". Until a permenant footprint was left on the aether.
