Thread: Thoughts on primals 2.0

The concept as described by yoshida seems imo Highly broken.

1. There are not enough Primals for everyone.
2. Who gets the right to cast it? (only the leader? Will you get in trouble for using your Companies Summon?)
3. What will prevent 6, or however many primals there are, companies from having a monopoly?

I do not like the Idea of never ever getting the chance to have a summon at my beckon call. Yoshida is CLEARLY not a fan of FF. Summons are not supposed to be gods. They are often misconstrued as god, but they are always in actuality fathomable creature of great power that can be used at the beckon call of one who has gained their submission.

Please someone, resolve these issues logically. I would love to see a system where Summons serve a greater purpose. I just don't want anyone to get left out.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the end there were at least 12 primals... since there are 12 deities. Maybe 1 will be connected to each? Also it seems like beast tribes in general seem to sort of look to a primal. We don't know who Sylphs and Goblins look to if they do. But I would guess something like Carbuncle for Sylphs...unsure about goblins though.

well in the opening cgi cs there are a lot more then twelve lights that come out of the explosion. Im thinking we there might be a tier system in place quantifying primal power. the big named ones occupying the top company summon class, and then lower teir primals/spirits with less restrictions put in place.

there going to have to do something, other wise the summoner class/job will be insanely impractical for normal play.
