Said stacks also adds in something else for future updates to SMNs, allowing us to basically channel the primals in ourselves which, aside from using their awesome attacks (without the long cutscenes), will also probably be much easier to balance.

Actually now that I think about it, the whole thing with Iceheart and Shiva may have been them foreshadowing their future plans this whole time.
That's a good point. The apparent Shiva/Ramuh/Leviathan Egis might end up being "Trances" instead. We already know we're getting a Dreadwyrm Trance
so maybe we'll also get a Phoenix Trance as Lousoix did say we could call for him when in dire need at the end of T12
, or other primal infuses in the future?
