Why?

What is the truth of ayzs Lla? In game lore would have us believe this land mass is from the burn however there are meracydian aspects to it.

I would like to hear a little more insight into what constitutes the size and powers of a primal, And more specifically Bahamut. I know the basic understanding of summoning is that it's based on sacrificial aether (usually via crystals) and a concentration of wishes for the creature you summon. However, is the size/power due more to the crystal quantity, or the wishes, or can primals grow in size over time? I can definitely picture Bahamut growing in size from his initial summoning until his release from dalamud due to the constant flow of aether during his imprisonment. In any case, no primal summoned to date has been anywhere remotely close to the size of Bahamut. Even the Warring Triad, which were from the same place as Bahamut, were of more average primal size. And Alexander the fortress could be considered similar size, but Alexander the Primal is not. From a visual perspective, I am under the impression that he was made Godzilla sized to make a calamity seem more like an actual calamity. And there are different fan theories as to why he is that large when all of dragonkind (even midgarsomner) are significantly smaller than him. I would love to hear an official explanation from the dev team, so please let me look forward to it
