[Suggestions] - Carbuncle Prime, Red Carbuncle stuff, and Metallic Pink dye

[Brightler]

This is my first post, but I've owned this game for years. Anyway, on to the "meat and potatoes".

I wanted to put out the request for a Carbuncle Prime fight to be added. He was kind of a monster in FFXI, and I'd love to see it in FFXIV's art style. Of course, my ulterior motive is that I want shiny Carbo themed weapons! If you've ever seen my house (its a medium in Goblet ward 6 btw) you can tell I loves me some Carbo. I bought the stuffed Topaz Carbuncle, the Heliodor Carbuncle that came with it is my favorite minion, and the Citrine Carbuncle is my favorite mount. All that said, I think I might have a problem...

Still on the subject of Carbuncles, why was there never an outfit, mount, or minion made for Ruby Carbuncle? Red is my favorite color and those three things would create my biggest "Shut up and take my money!" moment.

Also, can we get Metallic Pink dye? The Metallic Red is so dull and drab. I'd love a vibrant and boisterous pink that really stands outs.

The thing is though, Carbuncle is not a Primal here, he's basically just an aetheric construct ACNs summon from the aether in gemstones, so unless someone decides to actually venerate him as a god and thus summon him as a Primal, I doubt a 'Carbuncle Prime' fight will happen (also Carby's design here is clearly based directly on FFXI's version).

I agree with requesting metallic pink dye though - hot pink at that. So take my like!

All a primal needs to exist is alot of aether(crystals) and a believe in them.

We don't know too much about Carbuncle, perhaps in the new world there is a group that worship him or something.

I personally would love a Valefor primal based off the concept art of FF13 Valefor. He's such a underrated summon with alot of potential.

One thing I've learned over the years is that the narrative teams are very adept at figuring out how to add things in without a full on retcon. As Brightshadow mentioned, with regard to lore, all there needs to be are crystals and strong belief.

Plus, just imagine how cool Carbuncle themed weapons could be...

The problem is though, Yoshi himself hates the concept of Primals and is trying actively to move the story away from the idea of fighting them as a story focus, meaning Primal fights are now going to be increasingly fewer in number (technically we had none at all in Shadowbringers, not including Eden Prime, unless you counted Titania, Innocence and Hades as 'Primal fights' even though in the context of the story they were not). So it means a Carby Primal fight is even more unlikely now I'm sorry to say.

I love to see metallic light Pink dye.
