I'd love to see where this was mentioned seeing as how anyone without an echo gets irrevocably brainwashed if they're near a primal for too long. Maybe if the campaign to deprive beast tribes of crystals has been so successful that it led to a bunch of really weak summonings or something. Like weaker than 4 man Ifrit weak.
I'm honestly not disputing your claim, as I clearly pointed out? "Could just be me missing something important that I overlooked?" But I swear I read multiple times where state leaders are sending troops to deal with primal threats. Asking for me to pull out individual story points in FFXIV's MSQ is asking me to review hours upon hours to justify my argument, however. So you can win this if you want, whatever.
I only just finished 5.0, but I remember somewhere in the lead up or during Amaurot it's pretty directly explained that the Ascians are the source of the techniques to summon primals, but we fractured beings don't possess the aether to properly fuel them which is why they feed off the land instead.
Unless this is something I haven't gotten to in ShB yet, every Beast tribe has a group that hasn't allied with the Alliance that is responsible for continued primal summoning. Ardbert and the warriors from the First killed several primals during their time here before you came into conflict with them in Heavensward.
I can't remember the exact lore but one of the Amarout dungeons has flavour text throughout it and leads up to fighting Quezacotyl, I feel like it's some sort of proto-primal?
Wait, you havent even finished the storyline up to the current patch? Fucking L..O...L.. get the fk out of my face with your dumb ass. Here I am thinking I missed something. There are entire groups of people that arent susceptible to being tempered. C'mon man, why clown on people about lore when you dont even know the lore/story.
Unbind your fucking panties. I wasn't trying to clown on anyone so I don't know why you're being so goddamn defensive.
Well oops. I didn't expect them to introduce that dramatic a change to the lore right before EW, because tempering has been a really big deal throughout the story for years and years. I guess it's kind of a relief that we end up focusing back on the Source at some point and don't spend the entirety of 5.x in the First.
I guess you've become so jaded by the internet that you mistook sincere curiosity for mockery.
This is FOH, there is always the possibility he just wanted someone to dunk on.
Are there? Who?
Minus the whole
