A lot of this issue also stems from the fact that the 1.0 appearances were of the very first summonings of Primals, and thus the citystates at the time knew very little about them (in fact, part of the Path of the Twelve storyline had the player getting deaspected crystals for the beastmen which they knew were being used in summoning rituals, but no one truly appreciated just how dangerous the Primals were, and just regarded the rituals as 'harmless religious ceremonies'. By ARR however, there is no doubt as to the danger Primals pose to Hydaelyn and all who dwell on Her. The ARR storyline is merely reflecting the greater knowledge about them.
