As far a I remember they werent brought back to life. Emet said they were hald faded souls but I also could remember wrong.
The only reason we were able to summon those two from the lifestream was because of Venats very last aether imbued into Azems crystal and even then my theory is that, us being in Ultima Thule, Dynamis also playd a factor.
They also didn't do much besides creating a flower field so they probably werent even at full power and Hythlo was still sundered.

But besides that. With my comment I meant more that the ancients would never come back in the form the Asciants envisioned.
There wouldn't be giant robed humans but actually the different races in normal size just denser.
Even if they used creation magic or Zodiark to alter that as well their whole outlook on life would be different I think.
