Primals are powerful beings, the embodiment of human hopes and aspirations. Many of them are well-known to veterans of Final Fantasy 14: Ifrit, Shiva, Odin, and Bahamut. They always serve one purpose – to bring down a hail of special effects on enemies.
If you have never played Final Fantasy 14 yet, we advise you to try it. This game has a lot of features that you will not find anywhere else. Sometimes players do not want to level up their character on their own, because they find it rather boring or difficult. Therefore, many turn to boosting services, where professional players perform tasks of any complexity: for example, ff14 power leveling, passing raids, and dungeons. You can also buy in-game currency there. This is a secure service that is performed by a reliable company. The support team is in touch with the player 24/7 and can answer any questions.
In this article, we will talk about the most powerful primals in Final Fantasy XIV.
Ifrit
It is the Lord of fire, worshiped by the lizardmen of Amalj’aa. These proud warriors are perfectly adapted to the arid climate – they practically do not need water. The Ifrit embodies all the valuable qualities among the Amalj’aa – he is strong, furious, and attacks without hesitation.
The Ifrit actively turns people into his slaves – warriors and merchants, old and young. The flame of the Ifrit burns out the mind of everyone who is captured by him. The converted soldiers of Ul’dah are considered to have died in battle, although they are executed by their comrades. They have no other choice: to leave the converts alive means to let the primal feed on their prayers.
Not all Amalj’aa serve the Ifrit in FFXIV. A small group called the Brotherhood of Ashes rejected the fiery primal. They believe that a true warrior should not worship anyone. These blue-clad renegades make sorties into the rear of their fanatical relatives, kill the priests of the Ifrit and steal weapons loaded with his power.
Bahamut
Bahamut is the most formidable among all primals in Final Fantasy XIV (a game with 27 million registered accounts). His blazing rage left an indelible mark on Eorzea. One of the first dragons, Bahamut died in the war with Allag. Soon he was reborn as a primal, but even fed by the prayers of his people, he could not cope with the aggressor. Bahamut was captured and launched into space in a giant prison, where he absorbed and transformed solar energy for the Allagans.
Epochs were changing, Allag had sunk into oblivion, and Bahamut was still cruising in orbit, filled with anger and despair. He managed to free himself with the help of the Harleian scientists. They explored an ancient satellite for the lost technology and did not expect to find a primal there. Before they realized what was happening, Bahamut subdued them to his will and forced them to bring down the satellite to earth. After breaking out of prison, he immediately began to pour fire on everyone and everything. And even though Bahamut was free for a few minutes, he managed to arrange unprecedented destruction on a scale. This episode went down in the history of Final Fantasy 14 as the Seventh Disaster.
Odin
In ancient times, this warrior from the north stood up to protect the inhabitants of the forest from the Allagans in FFXIV. Human prayers were embodied in the Zantetsuken – primale in the form of a sword. Zantetsuken made Odin immortal – when he dies, the sword takes possession of someone nearby and turns him into a new incarnation of the black rider. Sometimes this unfortunate person becomes the very warrior who defeated the primal.
The Allagans managed to defeat Odin thanks to the sacrifice of the great sorceress Viyu. The primal was imprisoned in a crystal, and the crystal was immersed in an enchanted spring – there Odin waited in the wings for thousands of years. No one knows how he broke free – perhaps someone damaged the crystal, or perhaps its magic weakened by itself. According to the trackers, the crystal was cut exactly in two.
Having lost both his home and his opponent, Odin wanders around in search of worthy opponents. The inhabitants of Gridania are not at all happy with such a dangerous visitor, but all attempts to expel him failed. As long as the sword is intact, the black rider will return again and again.
Shiva
This is one of the characters that fans love to dress up at festivals (by the way, recently Square Enix has announced its plans to host the latest global series of Final Fantasy 14 fan festivals).
Unlike the primal patrons of the beastmen, this icy beauty was born in the imagination of a single person – a girl named Ysayle. One day she encountered the great Hraesvelgr, and thanks to the gift of Echo, the truth about Ishgard’s thousand-year war with dragons was revealed to her. Ysayle vowed to end the bloodshed. She took over the patronage of the heretics who were in the caves of Coerthas, under her command these exiles turned into a formidable force.
Ysayle does not summon Shiva as it usually happens – she turns into a primal. She believes that she is possessed by the spirit of Shiva – this woman once managed to unite dragons and people.
Primals are a part of Final Fantasy 14 that you are unlikely to find in any other game. These are strong creatures, each of which has its own history. In this article, we have only covered a few of them. Therefore, if you want to get to know them better, then play this thrilling game.
