In Eorzea, there always tends to be that six elements - two polarities thing going on, and it pervades everything in their culture. They believe in a hell for each element with a seventh for oblivion, we're seeing six umbral eras with a seventh for the threat of oblivion, etc. This fits the pattern - but why? This might be explained when we learn more about the true nature of primals. I've got this conspiracy theory brewing that, perhaps, the attributes these beings take on when they manifest from concentrated aether is influenced by those who worship / believe in them. This would explain why, while not a primal, the mythical moogle king of legend was summoned forth like one, but we'll have to see where it goes in ARR. I'd love to hear some descriptions of Othardian primals, someday...
