This eliminates all of the hoops and challenges, and while it removes the Primal word from your template, it makes it a lot less messy to work into functional canon and, more importantly from a roleplay perspective, other people's head-canons and game world.
Golden rule as ever is to write what you like to write. We're all playing pretend here anyway.
Well, technically, since Moggle Mog isn't a primal, neither is Memenu as they were both created using the same means. They're more Guardians than anything else.
However, I understand that yes, it probably would be easier and there'd be a lot less "red tape" so to speak to go through and other such hurdles.
Though, sometimes it's best to try and take the trecherous path, as we may become more enlightened than if we took the safer path.
