Anyone else being reminded of Feng Shui looking at those animals and their positions to the right of the map, in the sea east of Othard? The turtle in the north, dragon in the east, phoenix/firebird in the south, and tiger (most likely coeurl in this setting) to the west?
I'm actually not sure if they are really future primals, they might just mark the cardinal directions, like in, as I said, Feng Shui. I really don't think that's a coincidence here.
