    Even Ravana was pretty similar to a FFXI Naraka family, with the armored humanoid, 4-armed stance changes and whatnot.

    Ravana and Bismarck have been my favourite primals so far, so the more "original" (I know Ravana and Bismarck aren't 100% original), would be better than ones based on other FF games. As for potential primals, I'd really like to see an Anima primal, especially if it plays part in the new Anima weapons. Otherwise they don't need to be primals, Omega weapon and one of the Warriors of Darkness could be viable choices.

    Also, have a strong feeling all of their time definitely went into Diadem and Lord Of Verminion. Considering the size of its section of the patch notes.
    If not for the EX fight there would have been a rather large outrage of less content, and they would have made a new one and reallocated resources from elsewhere. Instead they made ThordanEX in its place, so we didn't get a new primal due to it. But regardless, the Ascian Prime was from a MSQ dungeon, meaning there is no hard mode so they'd have to start from scratch, giving us no new trial. I don't think the encounter team worked on Lords of Verminion either.

    I'd like to see Crusader from FFVI as an Ala Mhigan primal. It would be great!

    Yes please. But make the dungeon itself be a small light or maybe even a full party raid as well.
