More primals than elements?

[RolandDebreton]

The Mamool Ja are currently in Eorzea to work as Mercenaries (and they also bring the Lore that there is land to the west of Vylbrand).

Nice find, I love little bits like this. Did I hear correctly that there is a large land mass to the south? As opposed to Ilsabard northward and Othard to the far east.

Hey guys, I've sprinted through this thread before posting this but I didn't see anyone bringing up the 1.0 Cinematic of the battle of silvertear lake when the primals were "unsealed" by the ship and Midgasormir. (sorry if someone did and I skipped your post)

More primals than there are elements, you say? Look at the amount of lights flying away... there are a lot more than 6 lol. I'm not saying ALL the lights in the cinematic were primals since..well..there was an explosion after all. But I'm betting most of those were so there's really no limit to the amount of bosses the devs can bring forth in the patches after release. In fact I'm pretty sure they are giving us the present set of Primals not because they are locked in lore as being 1 per element, but rather because the variety in element brings more visual diversity and identity to each of them. =)

Good point, some of them may be baby Primals since they have few/no worshipers history.

The Lalafell come from an island-chain continent to the south. I think the Miqo'te are from the same islands but their islands were probably larger since they liked to hunt for their food while Lalafell liked to fish.

Aldenard, Othard, and Islabard are the 3-major continents of Hydaelyn. The Roegadyn have their fishing lands to the north (might be part of Islabard), the southern island chain continent (Lalafell and Miqo'te come from), and now the land to the west of Vylbrand where the Mamool Ja have come from.

Just to add a bit more information, the southern lands are ALSO the origin of arcanima, originally from... If... Memory serves me... Astrologists who discovered that the geometrical patterns used in their studies held power, which in turn led to shifting from astrology to directed arcanima studies.
