I can see in the game where multiple primals are being summoned, but is there anything directly saying that Ifrit is constantly being summoned over and over again to justify all the people that claim to have beaten Ifrit in their back story?
The FATEs where you're stopping beast tribes from grabbing crystals or putting down people who've been tempered/drowned/etc. While in my (PERSONAL) canon of the world primals aren't summoned every other day, they do happen more we see (I'm thinking once every couple months myself - and the EX versions at that!). Also it's mentioned (somewhere, sorry don't have the quote) that it's the job of some soldiers (in the Flames I believe?) to put down those who've been tempered. So you can assume from there that it's happening at least enough to dedicate some of the already thinly stretched resources specifically to that.
So if the super powered primals are summoned stronger than they were before, why isn't the Warrior of Light doubling back to take them out since apparently he was the "only one" that could do it before?Â
I openly admit it's nitpicky, but these are the type of inconsistencies that kind of turn me off of claiming to beat them. You have tons of RPers, and I know at least ten+ that are saying they personally fought them on their own (at the Warrior of Light's side/whatever). With game mechanics being game mechanics and EX primals clearly made for that purpose, with SE's crappy "Oh btw this is the reason why this happens" one-line excuses, it makes it a little dodgy to me =)
I'd get behind someone working with the Grand Companies to stop the tempering more than anything, myself.
And really, again, I'm not trying to tell people what they can and can't RP. If someone ever mentions it to Val, he just shrugs it off with, "Nah too much work, don't care," and I let them do their thing.
