I am wondering if this sentence subtly implies if the East (Near East? Far East? Othard?) have a different set of gods or faith.

When Garlemald invaded Othard, they came up against a primal opposition. It is implied that the primals of Othard were different to the primals of Aldenard. And given how primals behave, this might be related to the "gods" in question.

Let's also recall that the Ascians were attempting to goad some Ala Mhigan youths into summoning Rhalgr, using the same techniques as a primal. Can you see where I'm going with this?

The only thing implied from Gaius' speech was that Garuda wasn't one of the Primals smacked by Ultima back then, if it was actually used.

I'm sticking with the theory there are only as many Primals as there are Elements - six - at any given time. Otherwise, how and why gather the six different crystals during our questing around Eorzea? However, one nice plot twist would be fact that someone (or something) can challenge a Primal (or God) for its status. This opens room for Odin's current status.
