Hm, never play VI, so I hadn't seen that.

Still, it doesn't change the fact that Eorzea is already chock-full of non-primal golems and it would make no sense whatsoever for them to be included as both when all the other primals are unique from all other bosses and mobs in FF14. It also doesn't address the first part of my post that primals in FF14 are based on beast tribes, not types of zones.
