he said "things will be changing" and "roaming primals will be added"

he never specificaly named primal battles as being changed/removed etc etc

we will have an official list of stuff being removed in the next month or so i think(we were told its coming), if its on there so be it, but til then, yep, pure speculation

To add to this, the only "roaming Primal" partially "confirmed" is only Odin, which is not available in pre 2.0. In addition, there will be multiple difficulty of Primal fight (Easy, Hard, Extreme) and it will not be possible to have this without instanced (Oh hey Easy Ifrit spawn next to Extreme Ifrit, how do we kill Easy?) and it doesn't even make sense of having multiple Ifrit roaming the open world.

So Ifrit and Garuda are no longer primals? We know Free Companies can summon Primals if they defeat them and gain their card and in order to do so they must claim them in the overworld...i.e roaming.

I don't know if you played FFXI or not but multiple versions can exist. Multiple ways of encountering them is more than possible. Ifrit Extreme itself is already different quest compared to Ifrit hard and guess what? It exists at the same time as Ifrit it Bleeds...amazing. So unless Yoshida is talking about new primals and Odin only, I'm pretty sure the thing that's being purposefully left out is the fact Garuda and Ifrit are primals too. Another thing that is easily forgotten, is the easy/hard versions have 7th Umbral Era ties. as in it's intertwined into the storyline that will go away come 2.0

So there's more than enough evidence and reasoning as to why Yoshida said the fights in this form will go away in 2.0 and what was confirmed thus far is they'll be roaming, then we know Ifrit X will remain as that's unrelated to the 7UE for the most part. So we know the instances in regards to the Relic Quest will remain which simply means there will 2 versions of Garuda and 2 version of Ifrit.

you are STILL taking things out of context, no where did he say primals are going away

when he said things will change, he wasnt even refering directly to primals themselves

and as you said, its possible for multiple versions to exist, so again, why cant it be possible for the instance endgame fight, AND the free company instance fight exist? there is no reason at all

you are backing up the opinion you have, with no proof at all for its accuracy and now that youve backed yourself into a corner and people have pretty much proven all you are spouting off is "heresay" and rumor, and not fact at all, your fighting for people to just believe you.


when we have proof, we will have it, til then, its a rumor, and in no way shape or form a sure thing to happen the way you "think" it will

when we have proof, then we will have proof one way or another
