So...item removal list please?

All primal weapons

Why would they remove primal weapons then plan on adding more primal fights and weapons?

I think you've got your wires crossed.

I think it was generally assumed because the 1.0 storyline kinda intertwines with them.

SE has confirmed that primal fights will still be in 2.0 both world fight and instance on demand fights, they will however obviously change the context of the fights.

I dont think they should or "have" to remove primal weapons. Though I'm not sure how they would reintroduce the moogle fight.

Just because the primal fights in their current form are going does NOT mean that the weapons will not become obtainable by a different means, such as NEW primal fights.

Never said they weren't.

The current primal fights as we know them are being removed. Therefore, you won't be able to obtain the rewards form them.

The related achievements are also being removed. While the primals themselves won't be gone, the battles will be different and I doubt that they will have the same rewards.

Indeed. Two new primals are being added that we'll all be able to experience in ARR. The ultimate fate and how we will experience the current primals remains unknown. The fact that they're removing the achievements for the primals is telling.

Removing primal weapons would be a silly idea.

They are adding in all primals they can (as said by Yoshida) - and they have primal items for the new primals. They would be stupid to create an inconsistency in primal gear if the primals that are changing from 1.0 to 2.0 are going to make any appearance (which we know they are - both in instance and non instance).

Just because an achievement is changing is awkward assumption that weapons will go too.

that being said its not impossible the weapons dont come back, though as I said before the inconsistency created would be a bad idea to make.

It's been officially said that you will no longer be able to acquire the primal weapons, however primal battles will still be included in the game's content.

See this is what confuses me. I cannot recall anyone officially saying this. Plenty of people regurgitating this very statement, no doubt, but I do not know the source.

I know that an official translation of Yoshi-P in a live letter talked about how the "current reward is only obtainable in the current version", but:
a) this was an on-the-fly response from many months ago that has not been replicated since; and
b) "reward" can have multiple contexts, such as the emotional reward, the loot system or even the way a chest spawns, and may not be referencing all of these.

Which is why we are seeking clarification on what is considered an arguably unclear translation giving rise to confusion.

Blanket statements based on player assumptions don't help.

I find it hard to believe that they would just stop the current primals from dropping weapons.

• Weapon models will be made for 2.0 to accommodate those with them
• Primal fights will still be available (altered story arc, most likely)
• New primal fights are being planned
• New primal weapons are in the works (one confirmed, so far)

I know they want to make legacy members feel special. Taking content out -- just because, just seems like a waste of resources to me. I can understand the white ravens earring no longer being available, because that fight will be leaving permanently. The primals are here to stay, I see no reason to disable drops for fights that are going to be in the game anyway.

The only way I could justify that would be to make new weapons. Which would be redundant.
