Thread: Primal battles in 2.0

I'm still unsure even from those list they post, it's just Achievements and stuffs, not confirmation on "real content"

I have a few questions and I hope someone has a "real" answer, reps, devs, user, player anyone.

Is Instanced Primal contents gone with it's drops in 2.0 ?
If so, what will "Happen" to future Primal Battles like Titan and Leviathan ?
Instanced Ifrit and Garuda is staying for Relic, is it the only exception?

Will Faction leves stay in the New Leve system ?
Will Skirmish and its' drops stay ? Will Faction drops stay ?

In 2.0 will Old Sidequests, Job Quests and Class Quests for all(DoH, DoL, etc) be gone ?
If so, will the means of obtaining Crowns and Achievements be changed ?

It was mentioned that you will be able to change Grand Companies in 2.0.
Will we start from scratch ? or will we start from being a recruit in all GC ?
Will we be able to take on other GCs previous Quests ?

++
Since Open World Primals is confirmed, will Moogle be in too ?


Assuming Dungeon and Hamlet is staying, so does their drops I guess 0.0

The so called Achievement are more tie-in to the story, and we all know that the Moogles won't be smashing down those Magitek Airshiprobot in v2.0, because if you look at trailer and concept arts etc. even the Garleans are going through aesthetic change (no more stick figure magitek). They will still be there, they will still be instanced, they will have a different battleground and a different story. For instance you will no longer see Darnustroll (teleporting every 5 sec for a whole 10 minutes, best Primal troll ever) during the cutscene for Easy Ifrit, nor Easy Garuda.

Dungeons achievements (not dungeons) are gone, why? Because Toto-rak, Darkhold and Aurum Vale is tie-in very closely to current Garlean invasion, or more specifically Darnustroll's VII Legion. The VII Legion will mostly like be wiped out during Dalamud descend.

ok so after reading it 50 thousand times, ive come to a conclusion

they refer to the gobbue mount as content being removed
but only to the achievemnts for everything else

therefore...the content is staying, the achievemnts are going.

my thoughts conclude that they will probly be introducing new achievemnts for all the fights/dungeons
this will be to reflect having done it pre 2.0 versus post 2.0, due to the battle mechanic changes that will be taking place, which could make all content very different in just that regard

Yeah, I also believe it is like this. However, I do feel some uneasiness related to this and I think it would be great to get a confirmation to if the battles (Ifrit / Moogle / Garuda) and dungeons (mainly CC / AV) will be staying in 2.0 the way they are at the moment and if we'll be able to get the same loot from them as we are at the moment.

Personally, I think it would be silly of them to remove good content players are motivated to do but the interviews quoted in this thread raise questions, as did the list they posted (really, nothing else is going to be removed?)...

No, at least not the ones that we can get now.

not confirmed yet

yoshi has stated stuff would be removed, but gave no specifics on which stuff yet

anyone who says otherwise is just speculating on what it means, what we really need is confirmation

While we can't say too much at this time regarding Primal-related content... we can say that it will only be possible to fight them with the current strategies and balance in the current version.
