> 雪衣 made a comment about how the mechanical bird's system can't hold all her memories, but 寒鸦 still greets her as if she's the same person, suggesting that 雪衣 doesn't need her full set of memories to consider herself as having the same identity.
First of all, in this case, Xueyi has continuance of consciousness and was the active role in the transfer of her consciousness.
Secondly, she also said: "Xueyi (cycrane version): Just don't let me be d-d-damaged again... I'll lose my m-m-memories." So whatever she means by the cycrane can't "hold all of me", it may not necessarily be referring to just memories.
I mean, the first thing she did after revealing herself was to tell our party exactly what happened to their group when they got to Hoolay. She also clearly recognized our entire party, and the layout of the Shackling Prison (since she had to fly out to deliver the news of the jailbreak) which was confirmed by Moze to be a complex maze. She certainly doesn't seem like someone who is missing any important memories.
As for Hanya, she's used to her sister uploading to all sorts of puppet bodies each time the previous one breaks. So of course her first impression isn't going to be that this time is all that different.
> 丹恒 preserved more memories from a past incarnation than most Vidyadhara thanks to an incomplete reincarnation process
More than the blank slate of most Vidyadhara is far from the same thing as Xueyi. It's like saying he has 1% of memories compared to normal Vidyadhara's 0%, and thus comparable to Xueyi's 100% memories.
> And his response seems to suggest that even if he had all the memories, he'd still see himself as a separate person, since he's adamant that he's does not bear the guilt of his predecessor even after regaining his memories.
I don't recall when he has ever said or implied that.
And also, because that's what the Vidyadhara culture standards also say about rebirth? Like, why should he feel it's right to be held by some arbitrary non-Vidyadhara standards when it comes to the rebirth?
> philosophical question of whether having the memories is enough to be the same person
It's also a question whose answers has been "defined" on the cultural and legal side by the society already. For Vidyadhara, the answer is obviously no. For the Xianzhou natives, at the least 100% memory retention does mean you're the same person.
> Instead of the Penacony nonsense
Uh... Penacony is much more popular and well received than Xianzhou in both CN and global. For that matter, the Xianzhou is probably at the bottom of the list for a lot of people in CN and global.

There is zero resemblance with Zhuge Liang aside from the fan. None. There are plenty of other strategist people in ROTK or outside for him to be based off of. But nobody cares at this point because he's so NPC-ish.
