    Way back when in one of the interviews, Yoshida said that 2.2 would be unique because it would have not only Leviathan hard/extreme but also Moogle extreme, and indicated that the plan moving forward would be to just have hard/extreme modes of a new primal as they added them. Of course, he may have just been undercommitting to not disappoint anyone. Either way, I'll see if I can find it.

    Edit: From an old interview around December:

    ----

    For future primal battles, will more than one degree of difficulty be provided?

    Yoshida: In the future, primal battles will be released at the same time. For example, in patch 2.2, we will add both the hard and extreme mode Leviathan battles to the game. We will also be adding the extreme mode King Moggle Mogg XII in patch 2.2, so there will actually be three of these battles added at once in 2.2.

    Yeah, I think they are also undercommiting as well. This allows them to not only stretch their plans for other content, but actually gives them time to figure out what they want to do after Shiva is released.

    Going to guess that Ramuh and Shiva fights have been all but done for close to a year now, sans quality checks and battle testing. I'm also going to guess that as soon as Shiva comes, they will have another primal announced by then, even if they have yet to start on drawing the primal itself. Essentially, them not adding both Ramuh & Shiva HM/EX fights at the same time in the next update gives them a 6-9 month headstart on something new, come 2.5.

    Well Shiva needs a crystal added somewhere if we're gonna fight her. I wonder if SE will give us a new zone (and beastmen) for it or just plop that shit down on the map somewhere and call it a day.

    To add to the speculation train, I'm thinking that CT2 will end up giving us the new AF gear that they teased a while ago, be i100 and also be able to be upgraded to 110 with a Sand. Because fuck making multiple content at the same tier as Coil, right SE?

    Yup. My guess is that the fights were designed long ago, and the actual implementation is what they did in the last three months. What I think they perfected was the system of "moving earth" that both Leviathan and T7 platforms use. (From a technical standpoint the platforms we're on likely don't actually move and the rest of the world moves around them.)

    I'm pretty sure it was mentioned somewhere that we haven't seen Shiva's beastmen yet. Wouldn't be surprised that we do get a new zone, across the bridge where we fight Gilgamesh. Seemed odd to me they added an entirely new bridge just for that fight if they didn't plan on using it anyway later.

    I think Shiva will be added in a new part of Coerthas that's currently blocked by a wall of ice. It seems to fit with the story of that area and also with the fact that we haven't seen her beastmen around, they've been blocked off for 5 years.

    can we stop with Primals or is that attached to the lore that we have to keep getting more?

    There's no necessary reason to continue adding primals aside from the fact that they teased Shiva long ago, and because they haven't finishing representing the elemental wheel (6 elements, 6 primals [excluding moogle]). Shiva+Ramuh would round us out to 6, so it's all speculation beyond that. Though if they were to abandon primals, they would likely continue come up with some other similar boss-only "trials" fights. Given how the Greg fight went, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing them delve into things other than primals.

    I don't remember exactly, but didn't they say Bahamut was just one of the Elder Primals? Implying there was more than one and may just be dormant or locked away like Bahamut was. They could take another Coil-ish route after Shiva and I guess after expansion

    edited for table breaking sorry
    Spoiler: show


    Obscure angle / image of Ramuh seen on reddit. Think there is some Press event going on in SE HQ today with Yoshida. We all knew Ramuh was coming but im sure they will hold off on Shiva a but further but could be wrong. Also a picture of some Behemoth Mount / Boss reskin was shown possibly for the Chinese launch / release.

    Current 2.0 map over the original 1.0 map

    Plenty of room for a crystal and entire beastman area past that sheet of ice
