There's also the obvious caveat of the lalafell cult thing doing the summoning: So far we've seen summoning result in the entity being conjured on the spot. If your lalafell tribe is being held captive, there are some unanswered questions.
1) Why would Memenu leave those who summoned her in a jam to roam to Eorzea?
2) If they're not saved, and are still captured, why would they resummon her? She failed them the first time.
3) If somehow the summon didn't conjure Memenu to the summoners, how would they even know it worked? If she gets killed, how would they know to resummon her?
4) If they are saved, why would they resummon Memenu at all? Their plight is over.
1. Why would Memenu leave those who summoned her in a jam to roam Eorzea?
Not by choice, if the Garlean military found out, she'd probably be killed almost immediately, more so if Ultima was combat ready. Especially within Garlean lines.
2. If they're not saved, why would they resummon her if she failed them the first time?
Point number one, but they could've been re-deployed somewhere else or are in a location not yet visited by the players as of the events of 2.5.
3a. If somehow the summoning ritual didn't conjure Memenu to the summoners, how would they even know it worked?
They wouldn't, but as one of her followers used her own soul and body as the sacrifice, the summon had a perfect focal point.
3b. If she gets killed, how would they know to resummon her?
At this point, they most likely wouldn't. The amount of time and effort required to get the materiel needed would probably take too long to summon her again if it was needed, especially with the fall of the Castrums (or most of them) in Eorzea.
4. If they are saved, why would they resummon Memenu at all? Their plight is over.
Exactly; why would they? Perhaps to help others who are as misfortunate as they were during their time subjugated to Garlean prisoners. While not everyone needs a savior, the realm needs a hero, no matter how unlikely they may be.
