It was kind of expected. Wind is the one element that has never had a consistent summon/monster association in the FF series. I don't actually think any 2 FF games have the same "Wind Lord" (so to speak). It has been Tiamat, Fenrir, Pandemonium, Barbaricca... compared to, say, Ifrit who has had a pretty consistent manifestation as Fire. Wind element rarely got much love since it was outside the holy trinity (fire, ice, lightning).

I think Siren would be a primal; after all isn't a primal just the aetheric manifestation of its worshipers? It is a neat concept that the sailors manifested her by believing the myth. Perhaps controlling undead to further serve her is the closest she can come to Tempering. A Pseudo-Primal, perhaps?
