While Primals can and do return, it does tend to be over an extended period of time and with great attrition. With all that in mind, how does one justify being a Summoner?
There's a statement made right around the time you encounter Ifrit that basically says that he's been summoned with greater and greater frequency over the past five years since the Calamity. Â They describe the war between Ul'dah and the Amalj'aa as a "war of attrition," speaking of the Immortal Flames stamping Ifrit out over and over, but ultimately getting nowhere (as his people always summon him again).
It does take time...unless the world was wrecked, the aether lines are completely fucked up, and the beast tribes are stockpiling crystals to force a summon.
