New Primal Interest

[Bojobear]

HI All! Chesterfield here, hailing from Gilgamesh.

I am curious what you all think a new primal or two should be? I am missing some of my favorites still in the game. So lets all hear what you are thinking or missing.

I think Anima would be a great Primal for FFXIV, also I think Pandemona, and the Magus sisters would be amazing. Make it so you have to fight them 1 each in different zones to unlock the primal itself.

What do you all think?

[Kallera]

Seraph. I think a boss where players need to deal with boss or add healing mechanics would be an interesting fight to design.

Original primals are also great.

[Laerune]

Ravana is one of my favourite Primals, so I am hoping they will add more original FFXIV Primals to the game. Of the known Primals, I would love to see the Magus Sisters, maybe they can show up in a new Hildy questline?

[Wobble]

Magus Sisters could be fun but they already added my all time favorite, Shiva.

I like FFX so I vote for Anima and Valefor .

Valefor is already a boss in Labyrinth of the Ancients. Even though it's just a large scale demon/dragon mob.

Actually, if you pay attention during the side quests while levelling up there are a group of Lalafel which seem to refer to a Valefor that sounds much more like the FF 10 version since it can apparently fly.

might see anima, but anima already was a mechanic used in 1.0 as a way to keep people from spamming teleport.

would love to see more xiv originals however.

I'd like to see a Primal summoned by a lost Lalafellin civilization, one that flew way under everyone's dragon--I mean, magitek radar. The little bitty Lalafells would be all tribal and stuff, dressed in grass kilts, wheaty pantalettes, and they'd be brandishing spears while clicking and trilling and yelping in their own primal tongue.

And the Primal they summon is a giant stone Lalafell that has a permanent smile plastered on its face. Oh, and it's a female.

...With a grass skirt.

Honestly, I'd like to see a Doom Train. Maybe a Brynhildr from 13. I never played that far, but I saw the screenshots. She looks like she could be joined at the hip with Cid. I mean Alexander.

[Enkidoh]

Zodiark would be cool

Maybe Kjata

The problem with all these answers is, just like Diabolos and Fenrir, they are already referred to in game as specific enemies or aspects of the story/lore which has absolutely nothing to do with summoning (anima for instance is just another name for the body's tolerance to teleporting - using all your anima up means you can no longer teleport until you've rested, although the game mostly glosses over that little detail), thus meaning they will never be actual summons or even Primals in this game.

Plus given a while ago I recall Yoshi stating that they were actually trying to move the story away from dealing with the Primals and taking it in a different direction, I doubt we're going to see much of an increase in new Primals being added to the game other than what we already have.

But may I be proved wrong though!
