well, sort of.

Primals in FFxiv are (except the incomming Ravanah) primals or summons in other FFs. Thus even though they may be straight ripped of their original games, they still fit it pretty well as they still remain summons.

However, Ultros is just a comical character. Recurring boss in his own game, he made a few appearances in other games but mostly only in name (FFX and FFXII come in mind. He's also in FF1's remake on GBA in an optional dungeon featuring bosses from the other games and a DLC in FFXIII-2 iirc). But he isn't a summon, thus he should have no reason to be as he is in FFVI in FFXIV.

Not that I mind he did, but there was no solid reason for it.
