When I first saw Shiva, the first thing I thought was...

[whoopeeragon]

So far the primals have been pretty much like they were in 1.0 with Leviathan getting genuinely new mechanics, being the new primal out of them all. I wonder what kind of mechanics Ramuh and Shiva will have.

Titan wasn't in 1.0 either, and when everyone first saw the arena collapsing around them.....yea.

Personally, I missed the Garuda storyline of 1.0, where she went and wiped out Quarrymill, and there was a cutscene for it. It definitely gave a sense of her being a dangerous being, when bodies started landing and you saw a few twisted ones...

Although, in a way, Garuda is still the most developed-primal of all the ones present in ARR. She actually has a voice, twisted up the Kobolds and Amaljaa to summon Titan and Ifrit in her territory, and clearly bloodthirsty. Titan just grunts, Ifrits roars and Leviathan....gurgles.
