Do the Primals Know Each Other?

[Anonymoose]

As much as Hildy's story is comedic, the one where Enkidu actually came back was also one of, if not during THE most serious part of the whole quest line.

All I really mean is, "Let's take Enkidu with a grain of salt and for now not use it as a metric by which other primals can be measured." In a quest line that has intelligent, dapper zombies - being cured of zombie-ism in a way even the NPCs find incredulous - and multiple instances of surviving explosives to the face and falling hundreds of feet without a scratch, I prefer to err on the side of caution. I don't mean to say, "Enkidu is in no way representative of the primal phenomenon." The instant I get that confident is usually right before the instant where I end up eating my hat on a technicality.

The answer to this might depend on how canon seasonal events are.

I struggle with that, too. We can't take them as entirely canon, or we'd have to advance time to reflect world real-world years based on how many Halloween or Christmas events have gone by (and that's to say nothing of The Rising, which I think might have been more Yoshida-in-Character than not). Version 1.0 was perpetually 1572, and yet going by the kabutos we crossed new year boundaries twice. If the monkey kabuto people next year remember the sheep and horse kabuto people, is someone just starting the game not still in 5 Seventh Umbral Era?

Fettering seasonal events and comedic arcs to the same standards as the serious game lore might be asking too much. Sometimes fun requires tropes. Some of it is as assuredly canon as is the fall of Sil'dih, and some of it is as blatantly irreverent to world-lore as the in-game clock.

Again, I get antsy at the idea of not erring on the side of caution on such matters, lol.
