With so many FF bosses making cameo appearances is there a chance that Espers can appear as well? Maybe story wise they're Demi primals or something?

We've had belias in the summoner story, but he's nothing like the 12 version, we've had zodiark mentioned in the main story, we have the return to ivalice raid coming up so chances are there may be an ff12 esper in there.
Uh, several already have shown up - Belias appears as an egi (really a palette-swapped Ifrit-egi) during the original level 50 SMN Job quest solo fight, Cúchulainn appears as a boss in Void Ark, and Ultima is an Ascian during an ARR cutscene (well, she uses her original PS1 FF Tactics translation name 'Altima').
To say nothing of Zodiark being the 'big bad' in FFXIV's story (he's the dark god that the Ascians revere and want to rebirth as their ultimate goal), although he physically hasn't yet appeared in the game, he's constantly mentioned and referred to.
So it's highly likely the other Espers will one day show up in some form as well. But as Primals.. possible but unlikely (apart from the aforementioned Belias, but I have my own theories on that one...).
And if you want to be really technical, Famfrit and Exodus have also now shown up as well, well, rather their original final boss forms have, given they were based on FFIII's Cloud of Darkness and FFV's X-Death respectively (who appear in FFXIV as raid bosses).
