The quote I posted from the game itself, plus the FFXIV website itself, pretty much says that the Primals indeed have an independent existence while in their incorporeal state - they're basically a consciousness without a body. All the summoning process does is effectively generate their form for them. This is why they are endlessly dispatched and defeated over and over again - the body dies, but the soul, the spirit remains to be given a replacement form in the next summoning ritual.
