It's still very possible to get an 8 man version fight of him at some point it's not like we even killed him, he just left at the end of the fight....

A Belias-egi showed up during the SMN quests, but I think he's the only past summon that's referenced at all. It's possible that they'll bring in Susano-o's siblings, like Ameterasu, or the four holy beasts, which are featured prominently on the world map around Hingashi, but it's entirely conjecture because we don't have any strong leads.
Urk, you're right, how in Azeyma's name did I forget those? :p *hangs head in shame*
Thanks for reminding me of that. :)
Still, I doubt we'll be seeing more Primals in future SB patches - we do have two new raids coming up though (FFIII's Forbidden Land Eureka and an FFXII/FFT Ivalice-themed one) so anything is possible in those really.
The fight didn't really allude to him being a primal, and his presentation there makes that seem... unlikely. Had it played out a bit differently, I could have seen him as another Odin, but not so much now.
Could still be a trial, but not really a primal in my eyes...
Another thought that I've had though, is bringing back an old primal in a new form. Not as in the Normal->Hard->Ex manner, that is, but an entirely new encounter.
We know that the form a primal takes is based on the beliefs of those that summon it, so it would be interesting seeing a splinter faction of one of the tribes attempt their own summoning with an entirely different interpretation of their "God".
The Ananta even mention that the two groups we meet focus on different facets of Lakshmi, so the seeds are there (though this particular case won't likely pay off since one of the groups is the allied tribe that didn't want anything to do with primal summoning).
I have seen a few people speculating we could get the four fiends.
Valefor has been mentioned in 14 but in a sidequest and nothing has come of it since. Honestly I suspect Anima if it appears will either be a voidsent or some twisted amalgam born from something like experiments on souls gone wrong. Yoshi P suggested that Doomtrain would probably be something we find in Garlemald.
We need Doomtrain. Best summon there is. Also a Doomtrain minion. And somehow a Doomtrain mount...
I may be a Doomtrain fan.
