Realization: Is the WoL a primal?!

[Shougun]

SE does have a long history of messing with a character origin story severely lol, I mean it could be helpful if our story was a bit weird (for random pointless lore reasons haha).

Issue with so much of "rare" miqote males? Not anymore~! Why can't we die? Got an answer for that! Can see the past, is that time travel? Nope, just someone's memory who's been there (mother)! Understand languages? Wow, she's so knowledgeable~ Who in the world was my character before I started playing them? Crystal powder, right before mother lined you up into a beautiful dear Hydaelyn Egi :3. Not a primal, but a crystal's prayer - WoL. Why do we seem to have limitless growth potential? No wonder, we slowly gain faith as we travel the land, our power building less due to physical limitations and powered through our spirit (literally). This is why MSQ offer so much exp, or quests in general, experience roughly equating to faith in your character (killing monsters works too but less people may hear of it). Our test where we lost our blessing was to see if we had enough strength to stand on our own (properly exist, and be more than a meek shade), something that he wasn't sure we could do. Hear, feel, think! Things a normal person doesn't need to be told to do, cause.. that's pretty basic commands actually and while someone may make a snarky comment on real life and "common sense gone", its clear in the game plenty of people hear, feel, and think - however we /need/ to be told to do it, a sort of guiding command for autonomous function, helping us to manage our nature beyond being a lifeless aether bound to flesh golem.

With interesting suggestions about unlocked Echo users like the Sahagin, something similar enough that a primal could eat it like a buu cookie - or that an echo user had the potential to house and use a primal's power.

I still wouldn't say we're a primal specifically as that'd make us our own enemy and our /current/ existence a bit questionable, but to say "we're just blessed" I don't think that is necessary or really sterotypically SE's style lol. Which is why I brought up FFX specifically (Dream Zanarkand, Fayth, and all that fun stuff), Chaos in FFVII, and then many other variations some due to planet some just due to weird circumstance (Genomes) - but "simple origin" isn't really a SE thing lol.

Just for fun could talk about the blessing in terms of L'Cie with a shift, maybe Like Louisoix, that with extraordinary success instead of being rewarded for your victories its actually leading you down a doomed path to primalhood. Would suggest all primals were really beings blessed and were beyond exemplary with their blessing, each now being the consequence of utilizing weapons of mass destruction - the good they did coming back around to seriously bite you in the kupo nut: which would be a pretty common theme in FF games (also explaining why every important and loved person ever does not become a primal, only the blessed may).
