2.4 Main Story Revilations *SPOILERS*

[Alberel]

Midgardsormr was, I believe, the Keeper of the Lake and the protector of the seal. And if I'm not wrong, it was a vast store of aether that was released, not the primals themselves.

It's possible they since retconned this but in the original 1.0 opening cinematic you actually see Ifrit, Titan and a whole host of other unidentified primals escape from Silvertear when the seal was broken. The Allagans had sealed Bahamut and Odin as well as all of the lesser primals by the time their empire was wiped out. It was only after the events at Silvertear that the beast tribes were able to start summoning again.

True, except for the unknown Primal that stopped the first advance.
