At most, I'd put them on the level of basic primals, if not lower.
You're forgetting that they were severely weakened by the summoning spell that was supposed to draw the Twelve into the world and imprison Bahamut. Â As well as things that the Garleans were doing to mess up the flow of Aether across Eorzea. Â Louisoix's spell may very well have stripped more Aether out of the land than the great Mage War did. Â At the very least, it was a massive amount of Aether at one time.
But, I was not actually speaking of their power. Â I was speaking of their perspective. Â They are, as far as we know, eternal. Â They never age, they never die. Â They've always been around. Â Their mindset is not going to be anything resembling their mindset, because they're not mortal. Â I don't really know how else to explain it, but if you had lived for as long as time, and you would continue to live as long as time (barring world destruction or other meddling), your mindset would probably be similar. Â Mortal lives would have no more impact on you than a match being lit and then burning out in seconds.
