Hey all,

I have a few (and probably easy to answer...) questions regarding Primals and the summoning of such. I know that there's a lot of established lore, and some interestingly confined contexts in which a Primal is supposed to be summoned.

In most of the cases that we've gotten to see, thus far, Primals are brought about by the belief in said entities. So, for instance, Ifrit was a legend, before his initial summoning. Through a mass gathering, ritual sacrifices and Temperings, as well as a massive number of aetheryte crystals, the Primal is brought forth into the realm of the tangible.

All of these pretexts were thrown out the window, when Moggle Mogg came about, and even more-so, when Shiva was summoned, in one of the more recent patches.
