As the scale of the sealing spell is probably one of the largest spells we've ever seen (expanding at it's largest diameter from Limsa Lominsa to Nine Ivies) it's very probably that the amount of aether returned to the land is in huge amounts - enough to empower the primals again to regain corporeal form.
I likened the aether flow in Eorzea to that of the leylines of the earth. Aetherytes being the places where aether flow is very abundant and we take advantage of it's power.

It's kinda interesting, Ifrit was summoned into our plane by the Amalj'aa. Garuda seemed to do whatever she wanted without being summoned by the Ixali. Since we defeated them in the storyline and their aether was absorbed by Bahamut, I wonder if all it would take for the Beastmen would be to take their hoarded Crystals and resummon Ifrit and Garuda.
