    Pretty sure that's Gaius who's portraying "Shadowhunter" just based on the zoom in on his original mask? unless I'm overthinking things. Still..this story's ramping up.

    That i have no idea. I was thinking that was the same guy as the person at the end who's gaius, but I guess that'd make no sense. Interesting how old players are coming back, tho.

    The elezen is Zenos and the actual Zenos is Elidibus.

    Remember with the Echo one's soul can be removed from their body (See: Sahagin from 2.2). Likely Zeno's soul got kicked out when Elidibus took over.

    This is also why Asahi was taught enough about how to conduct a summoning so he could convince Yotsuyu to do one

    Hm.. you think so? I was thinking it was Gaius based on the mask at his waist. Would be really interesting that way. Unless you mean the masked guy who offed that other dude.

    Shadowhunter is a Hyur. He's talking about the Elezen disguised as a soldier, who is almost certainly the real Zenos. I don't recall anyone else referring to "the hunt". Impostor Zenos teaching someone how to summon screams Ascian as well.

    The Elezen refers to the hunt as in his hunt for the Warrior of Light

    Most important thing is that he talks about how he "lost his place on the stage" etc. which is the exact type of crazy poetic dialogue that Zenos is fond of. Not to mention his katana. I'm just super stoked about Gaius coming back. I've been saying for years that he never died, we've had little threads of evidence to support it too; think about the DRK quest where you are forced to face everyone you've killed... Gaius never shows up. His body is never recovered, nothing is ever set in stone about Gaius being dead. NPCs don't even reference him anymore after Praetorium. Figured he'd be coming back soon after the ending cutscene of Stormblood.

    Yes. And also

    Ashe and Rasler weren't married but brother and sister. Apparently.
    I mean, they had to write out Fran. How else were they going to convince us we don't need Viera as a playable race?

    I know, I was using that to support it almost certainly being him. I'm pretty sure that's the only primary antagonist we've met with that particularly visceral raison d'etre

    We're a different reality than XII. In the original Ivalice time line, FFXII came before FFT and here. it's reversed.

    At least that's the vibe I've had from their relationship.
