Even though I suspect we'll see Halone summoned as a primal, sooner or later, during 3.x.
I mean, we know from the Little Ala Mhigo story arc in 2.0 that even the Twelve can be summoned as primals (Wilred and the others planned to summon Rhalgr).

Uh...

No, they thought that's what they were doing.  But, as I recall, they were deceived by the Ascians.  There is no confirmation one way or another that what they thought they were summoning would actually have been Rhalgr as a primal.

From Final Fantasy Wikia:

Quote:Wilred is one of the residents of Little Ala Mihgo. While investigating the activities of the Ascians, the Adventurer learns that several Ala Mhigan youths were being persuaded by one to summon Rhalgr as a primal. Since a large volume of crystals is needed for the summoning, the Adventurer and Gundobald intervene before they recklessly try to raid the Amalj'aa's supply.

Yes, I know that.  But, they didn't succeed.  Actually, they didn't even get far enough to start.  We still haven't seen a single one of the Twelve actually summoned, as a primal or as anything else, and for all we know, the ritual the Ascians gave Wilred and his little friends wasn't even reaching for Rhalgr at all.  These were not people well-versed in spell craft or summoning magic.

I'm merely pointing out that we have yet to see an actual member of the Twelve summoned at all.  We've seen Beast Tribes' ancient "gods," and we've seen Shiva summoned (who was a real person).  But no Twelve.

Even if someone did try, it would be a twisted, wrong version that sprang from the mind of the summoner, without any real connection to the Twelve as they are known.

Edited to Add: It shouldn't have to be said, but apparently it must be said, so, THIS IS ALL JUST MY OPINION OK?  Ok.

I doubt the actual goddess would want to fight the Warrior of Light. But the thing is, only the WoL, Estinien, Iceheart, Alphinaud, Tiamat and the Ascians (maybe the Allagan, too?) know that primals aren't the actual gods/people/whatever.
EDIT: As far as we know.

Interestingly, Ramuh wasn't particularly enthused to fight the Warrior of Light.  His only concern was genuinely the protection of the Sylphs.  Once he was assured that the Warrior of Light would not hurt his Sylphs and that they would be protected, he was like, "okay bye."

During the 1.0 cinematic, when the airship crashes into silvertear lake, you see all the primals escape as an allagan seal was broken. So there is some evidence that those primals /actually/ exist, and when they are summoned you get the /actual/ primal. 

If the being does not exist (or is dead) some sort of copy is pulled from the aether (Bahamut, King Mog).

That seems really low this far into the patch. I hope it's not gonna be a snoozefest two weeks after release.
