In Akademia Anyder, we see a similar small-scale summoning of "Guardian Force" Quetzacoatl, which may have been a prototype of how Hydaelyn might have been summoned much later. And we also saw one other primal summoned through summoner sacrifice: Shinryu (though others were also sacrificed in the process).
