    Primal Hype that never happened... devs?

    What ever happened to the hype that we would be able to capture a primals essence and then use it in battle once a week and it would be announced server wide when it was and against what. This was announced in beta and talked about in several early live letters even after official release. One FC would be able to go out and capture the primal essence once a week and if it wasn't used that week then it dissipated and would then be back up for grabs the start of the next week.

    They actually mentioned this in a recent interview, don't know which one but its still in planning stages and may be pushed back to a expansion

    It's constantly being delayed;

    FC primal summoning has been delegated to 'some time later'.
    Source

    Before that it was "We're waiting until it makes sense within the lore and story", to which I think they should also add "We're waiting until there is significant enough open world content that they can even actually be used".

    I was hyped for this (until it went over a year without being mentioned once, only to finally resurface as "Delayed"), but yeah... There isn't really anything we could use them for at the moment anyway. Killing an S Rank in one hit? That's about it... This game needs something like Campaign where a group with Ifrit can come in and turn the tide. That would be awesome. At this point I'd be more hyped to hear content like that is planned than FC Summoning actually getting a release date.

    Take Hunts.

    Now imagine what the primal farm thing would consist of.

    Be glad it isn't in the game.

    Rest easy.

    Look at what hapened when odin or behemot were up, servers crashed etc. Also how would you handle a free roaming Leviathan ? It is like housing for everyone, it is not gonna happen (even if they were both highly advertised before 2.0 launch), their poor servrs can't handle all the stress. Probably will see them as a lv 3 LB for summoner.
    Unique sumoning system, yes...

    I assume, since it is Free Company Summoning, that they'd tie it to building a boat.

    That's one thing I think you and Asierid are forgetting actually. It's tied to Free Companies; It isn't something like Hunts or Odin/Behemoth where the entire server would participate. The whole server isn't going to show up to get one Free Company Ifrit for a week, just that Free Company will. The most hectic things will get is Free Companies competing against each other, though to be honest they've never really talked about how the system will work. People assume a FATE based on the benchmark but I'm fairly sure they ruled that out at the time, saying it was just for show (like the giant turtle). I find it more likely that they'd make a special instance and the first group to beat the Primal in it gets to summon him that week, or they could plop them in the open world, but I imagine they'd have special zones for it which are a bit more challenging (Beast Tribes all have strongholds/regions which could be expanded upon to fill this need). Really doubt it would be the same as Odin.

    You underestimate the amount of underwhelming the hype train can bring in this game.

    The primal thing will be the new hunts of 3.0.

    Please look forward to it.

    If anything it'll be the new Airship/Floating Islands that we're getting in 3.1, since it's something for Free Companies rather than the entire server.

    ...or instead or making FC's use primals why not make SMN use the actual primals but scaled down, obviously.

    They probably need to have a lore-related reason and way for FCs to summon them.

    So far, with Auracite(?) there's atleast a temporary way to contain an aetherial being when it comes to lore.
