One of my FC mates brought up that there are now Summoner NPCs speckled into the Grand Companies, which implies that every GC NPC Summoner has encountered a Primal in some manner and survived.
Does this impact the implied rarity of your average soldier (and, by extension, adventurer) being able to take down one or more Primals? All evidence up to this point indicates that an average adventurer (or soldier) would be very lucky to survive against a Primal, but I'm wondering if having these new NPC Summoners changes things.
(I don't think it's a spoiler to comment on random combat NPCs, but if it is I'd be happy to use a tag.)
So here is the response to this. Since it does contain spoilers to the SB SMN quests I'm sticking it in a spoiler tag.
Thank you for this response (and apologies for my late reply.)
I run a comparatively "low powered" LS, with a premise that's akin to "ordinary people overcoming extraordinary circumstances," so I wanted to take a closer look at this to ensure that the road to becoming a Summoner was still fairly extraordinary/rare/lucky/WoL-esque. I'll keep this thread in mind in our upcoming post-Stormblood deliberations!
