The Future Of Primals

[Konachibi]

With Ifrit on the horizon, I got to thinking.

1: What primals would everyone like to see in the game?

2: What about that primal do you like?

3: How would you like that primal to be portrayed in the game?

So I'll start

1: I'd like to see Shiva, Siren and Carbuncle

2: Shiva always had a 'cool' way of appearing in other games (Oh geez what a pun XD). Siren was always an interesting type of summon that had a less destructive way of thwarting foes. And Carbuncle is just plain cute ^.^

3: Shiva I think would be best to appear in a snow-bound area, which would mean waiting for a new area to be added before throwing her into the game, I like her appearance in FF7 so it'd be nice to see her have a similar appearance.
Siren would probably look best around the La Noscea area since it's got some great sea-views, and she's usually a mermaid. I liked her appearance in FF8 though I think S.E would probably have to add some clothes since the physics engine makes hair movable
Carbuncle I'm not so sure about, he's always been a funny little critter so it'd seem unusual for him to be some uber tough boss unless S.E made him a bit bigger and more nasty looking. I think he'd probably be better as some kind of none-combat primal, or perhaps a summon that a possible 'summoning' class could have.

Them be my choices, post your own ^.^

P.S PLEASE try to keep this thread positive, we have too many going off the rails into arguements and negativity. A friendly thread would be nice to read for a change, yeah?

[Carmillia]

1: Yeah, Shiva for me too, always loved her ^^

2: I don't really know why but Shiva is very charismatic to me

3: I'd like to see her being 'sleeping' trapped in a ice prison (and absolute zero one of course!) and we would have to release her from this said prison.

My second choice would go for bahamut ^^

My third choice would go for Odin: kill the mob straight away (or not XD)

Lol, but if Odin was a primal you had to fight...

That'd be one very short fight XD

Also there's a thread discussing if the dragon in the opening cutscene is Bahamut, so you may have seen him already, if it really is him that is.

Sorry edited right after posting...
That would be indeed cool to fight Odin (although I was more thinking about summoning him XD) because then it couldn't be a tank and spank battle! We would have to be more original if he could use one shot WS with some reasonably slow cool down (no spamming that ability XD).
As a end tough, the dragon in the opening CS doesn't look like Bahamut at all but more to shinryu (sp?)

Maybe to fight Odin it'd be a case of one person tanking till he went for a 1-shotter, then the tank would have to run, then Odin would switch to his AoE, and then another player would taunt him so as to stop Odin from nuking the entire party? If he did that say like... every 20 seconds, it'd be quite an exciting and difficult fight, with lots of running around and stuff. Quite a challenge, and certainly something some of the community has been crying out for.

Alexander and Madeen are my favourites (Poor Madeen is so rarely used).

I'm not sure what I like about them, FFIX was my first of the series and Alexander vs. Bahamut in that game was my favourite scene back in the day.

I was really happy with the (spoilers) Alexander vs. Odin scenario in ToAU, I'd hope we get something similar being as it's often treated as a 'final' or higher tier summon.

Someone loved FFXII's summons XD...

I'd like to see Shiva introduced, and if the trend continues she is the most likely to get the ice element's spot.

I love everything Ivalice.

And as it turns out, summons are my favorite part of the FF series~

The concept of turning old bosses into new summons in FFXII was brilliant. Some turned out better than others (Zeromus was a bit meh), but the concept really worked for me.

I cheated on the final Seymour boss on FFX by getting all of Yuna's summons to their limit breaks, then getting Yuna to her limit break, then spamming mass uber summon powers at him, last, summon was Bahamut, as soon as he went down Yuna used her limit break to resummon him at max limit with full health again XD

Poor Seymour, he got roflnuked by a barrage of laser beams, explosions, ice, fire, wind and god knows what else XD
