Do the Primals Know Each Other?

[finiteHP]

At best, the Hildibrand storyline hugely exaggerates the lore for comedic effect, stretching reality too far to be implicitly trusted. At worst, it's one-way canon (everything that's happened in Eorzea is true to Hildy, nothing that happens in Hildy is canon to Eorzea).

The answer to this might depend on how canon seasonal events are. I wish I had screenshots of it, but in last year's Starlight Celebration Godbert reacted differently to my character that has done the Hildy quests than to the one that hadn't. So in this instance at least Hildy is canon to another set of quests.

Honestly, I think from a ARR stand point that we as the player character are "The 6th Warrior of Light" With Derplander and his four comrades being out predecessors that vanished and the player character being a newly selected warrior of light with their own path and story.

Derplander and Friends are specifically representatives of Legacy Players which, for the most part, have their existence completely ignored due to collective amnesia. I think the story was written with the non-legacy model of "These guys have never seen 1.0" and ergo that conversation with Ifrit didn't happen WITH THE ARR PC.

There's also the fact that Ifrit has fought and tempered a lot of people since the legacy players met him. (Since I never made it past level 16 he never met me in 1.0 any way)

Which is strange considering that some scenes are changed for Legacy characters.

Really? I honestly had no idea.

After the initial scene when our characters wake up from our 5 year stasis that Louisoix put us in, it's more just dialog changes rather then full scenes being changed. One I can recall is when you meet Minfillia again she comments about not forgetting who you are and how you have echo... but then proceeds to explain what Echo is like we were an ARR player

Are there any other scenes or is it just this? I haven't touched my legacy character since the relaunch, but there's a number of dialogue changes that might just tempt me...

Well they know each other in a way.
Garuda made Ama'ljaa and Kobolds summon Ifrit & Titan to "feed on their aether", to become more powerful.
Gaius had other plans for the 3 Primals though...

[lololink]

They know of each others at least, maybe they have some primals parties in the aetherial realm though. But I guess Ramuh can see that we carry the aether of Ifrit, Garuda, Titan and leviathan that we got by defeating them.

[Toranja]

Yes, they do.

Didn't you see Garuda plan on consuming Titan and Ifrit?

Part of an Ascian ploy, no doubt, but that answers your question.

As much as Hildy's story is comedic, the one where Enkidu actually came back was also one of, if not during THE most serious part of the whole quest line. As well, Gilgamesh himself has been used as a summon in multiple games, yet he for sure isn't an Esper, Guardian Force, or anything like that...now whether this means Gilgamesh can summon in a different way BECAUSE he isn't from Eorzea, or if it just means he has an easier time summoning on his own but Enkidu was still a primal is something related but different.
