Roaming Primals?

[Duuude007]

I posted this elsewhere, but it makes sense to post here too:

# Q27: How will the primal fights change in ARR?
# A27: They will be basically be the same as the fights in version 1.0. However, we will be making some minor tweaks based on the new battle system and the primals will have a larger role in the main scenario.

Note: This updated info is all thanks to Reinheart. Props to you, mate. (I have paraphrased slightly from the translation to help in the ease of reading.)

Foxclon:
How will the primal battles such as Ifrit, Moogle, and Garuda be in ARR?

Yoshida:
For those that played FFXIV before the 7th Umbral Era event, we imagine that the primal battles will operate much like back then, however this time it is part of the ARR main scenario, so the standing position and cut scene will be different. Also the skills they use are updated to the new battle mechanics in ARR, so it’s different. Say for Titan, Titan is new- there are many things, like the ground breaking through, flying, dropping. There are lots of ground gimmicks being used.

As the content gets updated, fewer people will play, so at that time we’ll have Ifrit show up in the public field, and like the benchmark demo, it will become a F.A.T.E., and from that point on people can defeat it to earn and use it as high-summon.

So the main points I see are:

* Primals are further embedded in the story, instead of merely as a GC ranking path or side quest.
* Once enough people outgrow their usefulness, a future patch will implement a public FATE version of the primals (previously they used the term "True Garuda" as an example.)


I am in full support of this logic in the content.

I hope there more too it then just the sky turning red maybe ash falling from the sky....

Black hole sun, won't you come, and wash away the rain....

Yes this, just a red sky is bleh, w.e weather/setting's happen during the actual fights should happen when they are summoned. Like Ifrits black sun, or garudas green foggy/cloudy sky with rays of light shining through.

i thought i read somewhere that u can have the primal for 2 weeks, or you have 2 weeks to fill up the gauge. and you have to fill up the gauge with the whole group or sumtin like that

he just give out example but he said you have 1week to fill the bar then the remanding time to summon him or you lose the primal and it would return back to the world.

You gain a "card" or some kind that lasts a week or two then it goes back into the wild. Which is good, because he knows certain shells would purely hold the primals to be jerks.
