Before this patch I was 101% sold on the idea that the primals were once people, beastmen included (or in Fenrir's case, beast) -living or dead- and had been infused with the land's essence, BUT did Ramuh not say that he remembered the time of "balance"? This period of time was before man though, was it not? I'm taking this "balance" as either the incorporeal realm melded with the corporeal or the primordial planet.
Something along the lines of the Titans in Greek mythology?
Moose and I were discussing a Greek parallel a while back. Though, it had more to do with explaining The Twelve than primals.
For XIV, I'd say it would be something like; From nothing emerged Hydaelyn (Light/Earth) and, from her crystalline form, fashioned herself a partner, Zodiark (Darkness/Void). Together, Hydaelyn and Zodiark birthed twelve children to wield the six elements and rule each of the couple's creations. Something something something, Zodiark said "No!". Something something, Hydaelyn did it anyway, cue bitter rivalry between light and dark.
