This is a matter of considerable debate, just for reference.
EDIT: Just to clarify, while there are only three quest lines for each primal (story, hard, and extreme), it's explicitly stated that the Company of Heroes defeated Titan before (MSQ, Titan line); that a record of all those who've been involved with the defeat of primals is kept (SMN level 30 quest); that the Scions have fought primals enough times to have an entire banal duty around killing the tempered (MSQ, Ifrit line); that tempering is a pretty regular thing (a whole ton of FATEs and quests); that the beast tribes are constantly after crystals to summon their primals (MSQ, all throughout) and that this repeated cycle is part of the Ascians' plan (MSQ, several times but most directly after Ravana HM); and so on.
So, with those bits in mind, there's naturally some debate about how often primals get summoned in practice. Personally, to get back to the OP's question, I would say that it's fairly plausible to be exposed to a primal's essence if you're a reasonably skilled adventurer.
Also unrelated note - anyone find it weird how a band of dumb looking people in the company of heroes managed to take down two Primals? L eviathan said to be one of the stronger ones at that?
Like, a old Nunh and a goblin, what?
