Has anyone done this? A quick search showed nothing. But anyway!

Thank you SE for this primal fight. It's easily the Thordan EX of Stormblood (but not as hard thankfully!), an elegant dance of violence and tension. Everything about it is so epic from the music to the scripted events, plus I can see the developers were trying out some new ideas here and there. Even after so many runs, beating him still feels like an accomplishment.

After the indolence of the Warring Triad primals, fighting Shinryu really forces you to think and learn and polish your skills up, and I'm a better tank (and Monk!) for it.

Thank you for Shinryu!
