Next New Primal

[Subucnimorning]

I liked Ravana too and even the fight against Bismarck was fun but I see what Sendoh is talking about. In Heavensward, more so than in ARR, the Primals were like.... not plot holes but plot cul-de-sacs. The story dipped into these tribes trying to do a thing then went nowhere and backed out again. I guess the Gnath were at least trying to deal with Dragons.

I certainly understand the point about Bis, that definitely felt like a last second thought of how to try to fit a primal in. The Gnath with Ravana made sense somewhat.

After Ravana, I'd prefer more original primals personally.

Ravana is only semi-original. Even though none of the NMs in the race went by the name "Ravana", he's very clearly based off the Naraka from XI:



With that in mind, they could make maybe a unique undead primal inspired by the Corses in that game. Plenty of things to choose from though.

I want Maduin from FF6

[Sheri]

Chocobo primal.

[JayCommon]

Plant-type Primal would be interesting.

inb4 another re-skin of Rafflesia

[Hanayumi]

sooooo

Valefor?

Valefor was a girl, right?

It's possible for her to make an appearance, she was mentioned in the silly side quests with the Doman children in Mor Dhona.

The group of lalafells pretended to summon her, and used the misdirection to escape.

Oh yeah! Totally forgot Valefor was mentioned, and sort of attempted to be summoned in that quest chain in Revenant's Toll

[Ageofwar]

Medusa :-D

[Quintalian]

Plant-type Primal would be interesting.

I've been wanting to see this for a long time. If this were possible, I'd like to see Lakshmi, based on the esper from FFVI (also known as Starlet). In myth, Lakshmi is associated with the lotus, and is often depicted standing or sitting on a giant lotus. The esper was focused solely on healing, so without going into a lot of detail, perhaps this trial would involve seedkin adds which Lakshmi then buffs and heals, while she debuffs the party with Sleep and Charm, for example.

More stuff with Garleans is pretty much guaranteed.

Their ship is stranded on Azys Lla with its engines frozen and, according to some FATE there, they're flying in troops from Garlemald.

that doesn't mean we're going to get that as the focus of the content like farming Leviathan EX was the focus of 2.2.

we keep getting snippets of Ascians in the story and we did get one Ascian trial in The Chrysalis but we never got that as a core fight to farm for an entire content patch.

Maybe i'm alone but I really enjoyed Ravana in the MSQ

i don't hate the fight, i don't hate Ravana as a character either and i don't hate the Gnath but how much of the storyline is lost if Ysayle walks us to Anyx Trine from Tailfeather and just talks Vidofnir into letting us go to Sohm Al?

that's what i meant as a random road block.

Sohm Al feels legit, Zenith was a big deal, Aery was a big deal, the Vault was a big deal, the Library was a little random.

Ravana and Bismarck could have been around but neither had to be part of the MSQ.
