Another funny thing about primals, since it has come to light that they are just creations of the summoner imaginings. How are some then aware of others, such as Ramuh. Don't some of the others as well refer to each other, or was that something from the 1.0 version. Also, how did Ruda summon Titan and Ifrit in the same form as we fought, aside from it just being easier for the devs to do it that way.
Garuda did not summon Ifrit and Titan. She inflicted pain onto the Amalj'aa and Kobolds to a point where they called out and summoned their respective deities themselves. That's why they didn't change form. We see Ifrit and Titan as the Amalj'aa and Kobolds (summoners) see them.
