Crevox post belong to a separate thread entirely. I agree with some of his points because once we get to Ifrit story mode we know what the Primals really are. The Primals have no souls they are a massive qauntity of Aether and focus which is shaped into a sembalnce of what the believers are imagining them to be. Unlock single plalyer Final Fantasy titles where there are actual summons the Primals in Final Fantasy XIV are pale imitations they aren't summoned so much as conjure which is the lowest form of summoning.
