The Future Of Primals

[BloodPact]

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.

The fights were epic. I'm still remembering Zalera's laugh and his maiden's scream. I loved the animations for their -JAs and it was a nice touch to give each of them additional status effects that that the espers could use to spice up the battle even more.

This thread needs moar DOOM TRAIN!

OMG I'd totally forgot about Quezacotl and Doom Train! XD

I loved Quezacotl in FF8. Electricity is my favorite element so a definite must have on that <3

If I remember Eden that was the final GF in FF8 wasn't it? If my memory is still working (which I'm beginning to believe it doesn't) wasn't Eden based more around a kind of 'cyberspace' theme when summoned?

Would be hard to fit that into a fantasy style game I imagine, but heck, anything is possible ^.^

New Odin = Chuck Norris riding He-Man's Battle-Cat.

Aye, they did both Odin and Alexander in FFXI well, they were both very impressive.

My favourite and forever will be is good ole Levithan. I played a summoner for almost 6 years in FFXI and if they ever release something along those lines, I might have to ditch my pugilist and return to my mage routes haha.


Be interesting if you would "Battle Regime" Summons eh? (if they ever implement summons) Levi + Shiva = Frozen Tidal wave! ahaha But of course that is a weee bit too much for an MMO! cool idea though if I do say so myself.

I never played enough of FFXII to know about the summons...

In fact I stopped playing around about the sunstone part (like, right at the beginning )

The battle system made me angry, and the whole skills system seemed a bit daft. Like, you have to teach the character how to wear a hat?

Put me off enough to stop playing it after only 2 hours. Maybe one day I'll give it another chance... again... for the 5th time...

FFXIV seems to be very much based around elements though so it wouldn't surprise me if they only release primals that we already associate with an element (e.g/ ifrit - fire, shiva - ice, titan - earth, - ramuh/quezacotl - lightning etc.), in which case other summons/gf/aions may miss out as they never really had much of an 'element base'.

Seing how the current primals are very similar in design to XIs, I'm gonna guess they'll implement the same ones they did. Which is good, cuz FFXI had the most important ones, like shiva, carbunkle and such... but I miss my Quetza ;P

Also I love Bismark - the water whale, which is already the name of the culinarian's guild :/

I'd also like to see how they'd design and link Siren to the current lore.

Well from what someone said in a different post, apparently Siren has something to do with the echo, so if that's right, she's already part of the lore :3
