Primal battles in 2.0

[Punainen]

Someone was saying that the primal battles will disappear come 2.0... Is this true??

I hope not.

Yep. They'll be set up as roaming NMs which takes you into an instance (which defeats the purpose of making them roaming...)

So the fights that exist now won't exist in the same way in 2.0, probably just the ones regarding Relic, (extreme/garuda) but even then Yoshida said they'll make adjustments to the quest in 2.0, so who knows.

Just pointing out that the part I've put in bold remains unconfirmed speculation. There is certainly a good argument for it being true, but so much remains completely unknown. The next clue will come when they release the list of achievements that can no longer be obtained in 2.0. If "had me some fun" (beat Ifrit in the bowl of embers) is on the list then we'll know.

It is confirmed that the fight won't be exactly the same as it is now. They way you encounter the Primal is part of the fight. They could easily give you the same achievement for a different strategical fight and do something like "Ifrit summons a circle of flames around you" (Bowl of Embers) when you engage him in the open world and enter the instance.

No, it's not confirmed. We know that Primals will roam but we don't know if the current battlefields will be gone completely.
Yoshida already confirmed that Ifrit Extreme is here to stay which also means that Garuda's battle will as well. If Garuda is staying I don't see why Ifrit or Moogle should disappear.
And then there's the chat log in one of the 2.0 screenshots where someone is telling Linkshell members to gather at the Howling Eye which is where you currently fight Garuda.
So no, it's not confirmed and it'd be quite silly to assume so. The weapons aren't worth 2 weeks of waiting and that's assuming you even find the Primal once its released.

this has never been confirmed it has been only PLAYERS who keep saying this is going to happen

yet by the sounds of it both may exist seperately

Which part was never confirmed? Because it was confirmed by yoshida that they will be changing and there will be roaming primals. Hell he even used Ifrit in the latest example of roaming primals, we already knew about Odin being the roaming one.

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

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

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.

:C Oh, thats totally lame 'cause I can't find anyone yet to help me do primal runs because I've never done it yet. No one wants to let newbies join.
