I still think it's most likely that the primal that scared the Empire out of Eorzea at the border of The Black Shroud is the new Black Shroud Resident Primal ... Odin.

Not that I'm not dying to see Anima turn up in something again; though she's extremely heavily based in Catholic lore (See: Anima Sola), as was most of FFX, so I imagine it would be hard to pin her in the ancient Greek-based Eorzea.
I think if Odin had been around in 1.0, we would have heard rumors the Woodwailers, Sylphs, or Garleans. Now having said that, the closet 'people' to the north east shroud which we can guess connects to Gyr Abania and Ala Mhigo are the Sylphs. If any primal would have been 'summoned' or forcibly entered the land (sometime after the Battle of Silvertear Skies?) would be Ramuh or whatever the Sylphs primal is going to be. I assume Ramuh because of the Primal Poster. Maybe the reason they talk ill of their primal is because they saw what Ramuh did and what a primal is capable of when it's summoned.

Just a guess, atleast until Beta.
