Clockwork Doom train?

[Ilenya]

Would Nero even be capable of summoning it? We know pure-blood Garleans can't use magic...

[Nestama]

Plus, Garleans kinda really hate Primals... unless they acquire Allagan tech that is capable of capturing them.

Well Primals don't need to be worshipped to be summoned but

SPOILER

they need to have a strong enough belief to be given a form as it was revealed in 3.0.

Worshipping is just a method to provide a strong enough belief to provide the form for the Primal to take on since Primals are nothing more than figments of Imagination given solid form by the Aether resonating with a beings belief.

Anything will do as long it provides a strong belief with Alexander being a example. Alexander is not worshipped by the Goblins as a God but instead is seen as a tool for their goals. Their belief for a Utopia gave Alexander his form after leaning about Alexander's design in a Engima Codex.

So if a something like a Ghost Story about Doom train was to be strongly believed while having a large amount of Aether near by the Doom Train may gain his form and manifest into Eorzea.

Belief, Aether and a lot of crystals of a certain element.

Correction: Crystals are huge concentrations of aether, so there's really no difference between the two.

Just a couple more thoughts about the Nero idea: After his time in the World of Darkness, it's not hard to believe that he's different than he was before. He might even be possessed and merely be a carrier for the spirit of something he picked up while trapped there...
And then there was his "Primal energy scout meter" thing, that mysteriously started beeping after he discarded it....must have been picking up something...hmmm

I'm not super in love with the whole idea, but it is fun to speculate...

Who would summon Doomtrain is an excellent question. For all we know, it could involve something silly with a certain gentleman detective.

I smell a case!

The Case of the Ghost Train!

As for summon as we seen back in Hildibrand Season 1 and Alexander the summon can happen unintentionally as well which we see when a Fake Enkidu was summoned by Gilgamesh and from explanation about how Alexander was summoned.

A Ghost Train story may be enough spark to cause a unintentional summon of Doom Train if enough people started believing in a Ghost Train Story strong enough.
