Endwalker Spoiler Primals

[Hayden]

Is it just me, or did the Lore of the Primals get a fantastic send off scene in Endwalker?

I was cheering when these beings of hate and anger were finally able to show their true forms and aid us, and all the while keep their unique personalities.

Very touching way to send off their ark like that.

Kudos Squeenix.

I also noticed that the scene harkens back to the 1.0 trailer with the primals shooting out of Silvertear.

that whole scene was glorious but i loved susanoo and garudas interaction the most lol. plus this does open up a new avenue for primals now that theyre closer to japanese gods.

I also noticed that the scene harkens back to the 1.0 trailer with the primals shooting out of Silvertear.

I very audibly squeed and gushed to a friend about it. It makes the 1.0 trailer even more confusing about the Seal at Silvertear but was awesome to look at.

Wonder if now that we fixed at least one of the things that made primals so bad to summon we can use our own in story... I know it was one of the things that the team wanted to do for 2.0 (capturing a primal in a pokeball and using it in the open world) but couldn't figure out how to do it both gameplay- and story-wise.

Heck, we may actually get to sit down and have a proper talk with Ramuh

That scene was honestly the highlight for me among all the 'fanservice lineup' scenes, it was wholly earned, justified, and glorious.

And just in terms of in-universe lore rather than story beats, it's really fun to see Susano in particular in that lineup. Before now we didn't really have any proof that the Kojin had actual reverence for the guy; he's one of only a handful of primals summoned by complete accident, so there was never really any confirmation that they worship him rather than him just being an incidental form that their love for their hoard took. It was a reasonable guess for us to make, for certain, but it wasn't confirmed until now, so that's neat!

I noticed that too and was cheering. It felt like a nod to 1.0 and the base the game was built off. It may have been a dumpster fire, but none of us would be here without it.

I absoutly loved how they threw that bone of redepmtion to the beloved Egi's/Espers/Primals that for most of the series have been out allies and helpers.

And how they finally did right with the beast tribes...just felt right.

No doubt they chose Garuda and Susano because of their voice actors.
Rie tanaka is the beloved VA of the japanese comunity and the english side REJOICED during Susano's bried appearance in SB.

I think Garuda was also chosen because she was easily the most unhinged of the ARR primals so showing the "real" version of her would've left a stronger impression then the others.

I agree, also Susano is def a fan fave.
