Storyline Prior to Game

[Shura]

i dont think the problem is so much about the lack of new information revealed but rather poor presentation and implementation of the existing lore. There is already a great story and lore for the world in this game but instead of conveying that story through ingame quests/missions/ and events, they have it on 2 pages on the internet. You can satisfy 70-80% of the population if they turned the current existing lore into a form of quest or mission you progress through. We already have the concept of "echo". which allows the player to view/life the past; you can simply expand on this concept and create a ark of quests and missions that simply retell the lore on the site in a quest progression fashion.

Actually the official site states the primals were first summoned 10 yeears ago ;P

your right, must of got it mixed up with the ul'dah mission then, i do know in one of the missions it states the crystals and shards used by the beastmen gods for power was running low because of the trade alliance between the beastmen and the city-states. hence why they beastmen stopped the trade, in order to prepare for the Garleans attack. it mentions how the last time they were summoned was before the races came to eorzea or something, but could be my misunderstanding, did the mission months ago.

But i think my theory of the Garleans attack still works, its odd the Garleans attacked Ala Mhigo a city filled with the 5 races then left, then attacked the dragon and now they claim they don't want war with the races but instead they want to destory the beastmen, who the primals are allied with.
