I was taking my time reading a bit about Final Fantasy lore, when I stumbled across this little piece of information, that blowed my mind:

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/E...al_Fantasy_XII)

It happenned when I came across the name Lahabrea, in the wiki, it is described as the Light counterpart of "Mateus, The Corrupt", of the Zodiac Sign of Pisces...
Now, for those that did not play Final Fantasy XII, the Espers, are much like summons, aka Primals in FFXIV, they are powerful beings created by the gods in the FFXII mithology.
Eventually the dark counterparts rebelled against the gods, as they thought thenselves, mightier than their creators...
Thing is... Lahabrea, FFXII lore wise, is the light counterpart...

Finding this information curious, I continued to read:

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Ascian

It seems like in the 1.0, other known members of the order of the Ascians, are all known names to the FFXII mithology.

Lahabrea, Abyssal Celebrant, The Light Scion of Pisces
Pashtarot, Knight-Star, The Light Scion of Cancer
Igeyorhm, the Martyr, The Light Scion of Sagittarius
Nabriales, the Majestic, The Light Scion of Scorpio

Now... I don't know about you... But I sure know the Scions of Darkness are amazing bosses from the FFXII series, and seeing their counterparts having a huge impact in the story of Final Fantasy XIV: ARR, just makes me wonder about the amazing boss battles that are to come.

And who knows? Maybe the Primals are not even that "Bad", compared to these guys, the so called Eikons, might be naught more than cakewalk...

When fighting against Titan, I did not feel like a hero at all, as it seemed to me, all Titan cared about, was protecting his followers and their homeland, and Limsa Lominsa did invade their lands to begin with, anyway...
Sure, the story was different with Ifrit, and of course, Garuda, but who knows?
In a not so far future, we might see the Primals from a different perspective.
But for now, I'm really curious about the true nature of the Ascians, and maybe, their true forms! Hehe.

Let the discussion begin
