Â But the feat of defeating a Primal is STILL something major in Eorzea, no matter how many times they come back.

Â So people going, "Oh whatever" when a Summoner proves they've defeated a particular primal is just...it's silly.
That's exactly what I was going for. In game lore, a Primal's appearance is normally so panic-inducing that three bickering, possessive, grandstanding City-states with their own militaries will pass the buck right over to a neutral third party without any real show of bravado because they know that they wouldn't be able to handle it on their own.
Having defeated a Primal would give the sort of status that someone who lived through Carteneau would have. You literally faced down an aetheric manifestation of a being strong enough to be considered a god and risked your life and even your sanity and free will to do so. Some summoners might even be considered heroes, depending on the engagements they fought in.
I would like to elaborate, however, on the subject of the primal-killing itself. You are not required to be in any specific job or class. The important think is it having died nearby you. The Arcanima, and the summoning spells, can come much, much later down the road.
Characters: M'sato Tia (Lost Soul Seeker), Soren Walker (Ishgardian Midlander Pilot), Solomon Laguerre (Elezen Mercenary/Bar Manager)
