Thread: Garuda in 1.20?

I think Titan will be the likely candidate for the next Primal fight followed by Garuda and/or Leviathan.

I know it's been done in XI, but I'd love to see an Alexander fight in XIV.

Alexander is probably the Primal that the Garleans are currently trying to summon. Makes the most sense, what with their affinity for technology. Wouldn't be surprised if they pull an FFXI, and the spirit of the Alexander avatar infuses himself with a Garlean construct - either willingly or unwillingly - to fight for them.

I would be thinking more of Doomtrain or some other technology structure which is associated with power or evil like that. Alexander is infused and related to holy, and I can't see the Garleans using light as a weapon. o.o

Actually, the Garleans using light as a weapon does makes sense. They DO believe that what they are doing is right and needed to prevent The End of The World As We Know It ©.

Mmhmm. Personally, I think it just fits best out of all the avatars, unless they introduce new ones specific to FFXIV. Which doesn't really seem like something they would do.

Carbuncle or Odin could possibly fit, but I doubt it. Odin wouldn't make any sense at all since the Garleans are trying to prevent the destruction of the world presumably.

Shiva is most likely the summon for the Gigas (Who have been alluded to in-game to an extent), and Ramuh is probably the Sylph's since their flag has a lightning bolt on it. So I doubt the Garleans would be able to summon either of them.

are the garleans trying to summon? I thought they were attempting to destroy the beastmen and they're gods....
I know they are doing stuff with crystals right..... so does that tie in with summoning of a primal?

as for who the primal will be.... I'm gonna agree probably titan, but I wouldn't mind it being another (titan isn't my fav)

as for the coverart... I admit it looks alot like Garuda.... but I still don't see her being on the cover over more known summons.....but it looks alot like her....

It's stated directly in the Limsa-lominsa "Into the Dark" quest for the Dzemael Darkhold. After you complete the instance portion and return to the Owl's Nest, the NPC talks about how the Imperials are busy draining crystals for Ceruleum (The power-source for their magitek), but that they're also attempting to use the Ceruleum to summon their own primal.
