Thread: Primal battles in 2.0

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.
