But unless you're a summoner, who pretty much needs an IC excuse to actually be one, or otherwise formerly part of a group who would have a reason to have been in the presence of a Primal at some point or another (e.g. part of a tempered community), I'd say skip it.
I think it is also fair to claim to have bested a Primal -with- a Summoner. Like say I'm a Summoner (I am), but my friend wants to have roleplayed having helped me in taking down Ifrit -- I think that is perfectly okay too!
Also, I find the conversation you guys are having about the difference between "a primal" and "the primal" really odd. Anyone on Eorzea who says they've defeated a primal can only ever speak of defeating its summoned manifestation: in no way can an Eorzean ever destroy a Primal permanently. This is because the Primal's true essence exists in the "lifestream," which is beyond the reach of mortals.
