As a summoner I look forward to my new Hydaelyn-egi. Primal's gonna die.
Trailer spoilers just in case
I don't know that I buy the trailer reveal of Hydaelyn and Zodiark both being primals, especially with tension brewing between Elidibus and Solus already. I think Solus has been making a huge powerplay and is going to backstab Elidibus, use us to take out the "primals", and do what he's been feeding to Varis: make the Garlean master race Varis ranted about in 4.5 with Solus as an immortal god-emperor at the top of it all with no pesky Hydaelyn or Zodiark to stop him. The WoL assumes Elidibus' role as emmissary for Zodiark and works with Minifilia in the same role for Hydaelyn to defend them and keep the balance from here on and Garlemald continuing to be the True Final Boss(tm).
The lore as we know it (which doesn't necessarily mean much) makes Hydaelyn and Zodiark out to be too cosmologically important to just kill them off. Balance of Light and Dark and all that (plus other primals don't have any of that 'need for balance' shit going on either) though I suppose having neither around would technically be balanced.
That said, I don't think it's out of the question for Hydaelyn and Zodiark to be primals either, just that the source claiming they are is highly suspect imo, even moreso than other Ascians
Lotta people saying "omg confirmed" after the trailer really aren't thinking about who is saying it and who he's talking to. I'm half expecting that was a deliberate misdirection from the fat guy explaining how sin eaters work and almost word for word matching vidofnir or hraesvalgrs description of what a primal actually is.
But in other news WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW

I spoke to them ages ago about it, they added a 'charge debit right now' button on the order description that worked for me.
also rewatched the new trailer and I just can't wait, alittle over 2 weeks to go now soo close.
Kind of. It takes some time and effort to get to 370/380 if you don't get crafted gear (which is 150k-200k per piece, at least on my datacenter, so with 12 slots that's about 2 million gil to get a full set). In terms of numbers it's basically 70% geared since level 70 gear starts at 300 and ends at 400.
There's no way they're going to go, "Hey so Zodiark and Hydaelyn are ancient Primals" and then go, "PSYCH! WE WERE LYING! HAHAHAH!"
To the Warrior of Light specifically, the Ascians have never lied or been unreliable narrators. In fact, they're the biggest ones that the story trots out to explain the backstory of the world. Not only could it be incredibly unfulfilling for them to introduce this plot element and then go, 'luls we were lying,' but it exactly fits with everything we know about the two "gods" until now. It fits exactly correct in with how other Primals act and how Hydaelyn/Zodiark act with the Warrior of Light (and those with the Echo) and the Ascians.
Pretty much, the Ascians themselves (like in the later Stormblood cutscenes goin on in Garlemald between Solus and Varis and Zenos as well as the story/paths that we follow as the player character and the Scions to track them down have been the vehicles for these kinds of lore drop moments since ARR.
While I suppose it's still possible that this could be a hoax, nothing up to this point has lead us to believe the Ascians are giving us false information. They really have no reason to.
So until proven otherwise, I'm choosing to take what is being said at face value.
Playing this on the PC, bought ARR for €6 for the PS4 to play it while I'm minding my sister's house... tried to login on the PS4 and I got a security "issue" in place and had to reset my password.
Tried to apply the one-time pass security token thing, and it wasn't accepting any of my answers to the security questions...
Un-fucking-believable...
So fun fact. I was doing a few Orbonne's last night. They were all pretty standard (awful) by all means don't wanna upset my boy Faroth so I'll spare the usual details, but on the last one before bed some clown marked me as the MT. Like, no one asked, just put a mark on me and no one else. Sure I'll be MT then. Great community btw.
So anyways, we're at Cid and all of a sudden I get rescued to another platform after like 20s in of the fight. I'm thinking to myself what the fuck? Then I said to myself, ok WHY did he do this MAYBE I was doing something wrong, but there wasn't any AOEs or anything....
My dumbass was with the wrong alliance. I was Alliance B 2x in a row and hadn't realized I was A on the third run. I was falling asleep mid run so that's 100% my bad. I just said, "Good call, I'm an idiot". He just said "XD".
The point of this post is to always reflect on yourself first and foremost. SHB can't come soon enough. There are a lot of enemies who I need to Confiteor (stupid fucking name).
Fun fact #2. I called off my engagement back in September maybe of last year, I'd be getting married in roughly 2 weeks, the day Shadowbringers EA drops... That would have tilted me to no end.
