Primal Rush

I'm so over primals. I'd just rather see new content that isn't recycled.

This. So over it I never bothered to even attempt Levi EX > Ramuh EX > Shiva EX. Let's be done with the Primal stories already....

You don't like boss battles? Or are you sating you do not like facing classic elemental manifestations in this game, set in an arena to be faced by 8 players? this is a serious question, not trolling.

I like boss battles, but I find Primal boss battles lacking. Funny enough, I like Thornmarch in all its iterations to be most fun, just cause of it being slightly comedic and VERY chaotic (unpredictable, or more unpredictable than the other ones we have). Mostly, I'm just tired of getting a new primal with a weak story behind it being reduced to an arena team-jumprope fight that gets repeated to no end like they're some cheap mobs. This is totally in my head though, as it makes me think Primals are easily accessible weak opponents, instead of being Primals of great power. Once you do a Primal for the purpose of progressing the story, you hear nothing from or about them. You can, of course, continue to grind them, but the bottom line is that they become trivial till their next iteration (Story Mode > Hard Mode > Extreme > Insane? and that's just for the new set of iLvl items, nothing that would tie them more to our world or give them more depth. I could elaborate more but I hope this is enough, without smothering you in text

nah, i totally get it. Thanks for explaining. I haven't done Ramuh Ex or Shiva Ex yet. I find that I'm not motivated to do it because the gear is basically just glamour gear because they are never the best (I don't really care about that though). What irks me is that they are kinda just "heres a boss for you to kill" and then farm it if you want to.

Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan HM were actually useful because they blocked you from getting the best weapon in the game at the time. I thought they really had something good going there. At least the story had a payout aside from lore. It was a part of the relic quest, where now its just a battle for side grade equips. They should have tied the primals to the new step in the relic quest. just my opinion though.

And in the end, it will probably just be the same old same old over and over again.

i agree with this, I would love to see the primals become characters that we frequently see and have to deal with. It seems silly that we rarely encounter them in any meaningful way more than once, seeing as how they're hugely powerful creatures who tend to have world conquering ambitions.

Probably not the best solution, but I wouldn't mind seeing all of them as world bosses akin to Odin, in addition to their instanced versions.
