This would make more sense to me.

I forgot, I know Ifrit is confirmed, but who is did they confirm as summons? I think Garuda was the other.
The quote is so old I dont want to find it but I assure you that there was at least official speak of summoning a "true" summon. And it had to do with finding a roaming primal and whooping it. There was only one of the true primals available so only one group could really summon it. Once summoned you lost control and it went back to the wild.
