Would you be disappointed if they re-used elements for new Primals?

You're right, but "all but confirmed" is overstating how much weight is behind the idea. Two allusions in an MMO almost designed around allusions isn't much.

Though...I would be happy if it were true :x I loved FFXII's espers.

Agreed.

While I didn't like FFXII as a whole, I thought the Esper's design was pretty awesome.

Elements hardly matter for primals, players or anything at all, they could release 3 fire primals for all I'd care.

Variety is the spice of life. 3 Fire Primals would make for a bland system.

I wouldn't really mind, but I think they have a lot of stuff to work with before
doing exact same elements. non elemental, multi elemental, holy, dark. They can
do elements that are similar to pre existing ones, like plant/wood/organic, even
though we already have earth. Some sort of plasma even though we have lightning.
metal (lolpokemon i mean we do have dragon..... fairy element? D: ) etc. I'm sure
they'll come up with stuff

Still variety, 3 different primals, elements don't really add much to variety when they are as good as non-elementals.

On a gameplay basis, you would be correct. Storywise though, it would make for a terrible story (in my opinion) to have 3 times the same element.

I'm so confident in my speculation that I'd be willing to put money where my mouth is. Zodiark is coming. That is actually confirmed by the story. There has been an egi of Belias, an elder primal, playing a part in one of the job quests. I am fully confident that the next series of primals will be the FFXII espers. They will include, but not be limited to the following:

Fire: Belias
Wind: Chaos
Earth: Hashmal
Water: Famfrit
Thunder: Adrammelech
Ice: Mateus

While I am not nearly as confident about the following suggestion, I would like the Espers to have their own dungeons modeled after the final dungeons of the games their namesakes come from.

Chaos - The Chaos Shrine
Mateus - Castle Pandemonium
Zeromus - Lunar Subterrane
Exodus - The Interdimensional Rift
