Not really much to add, just wanted to say I learned a lot here- I didn't realize there were so many references to Voidsent eating food;
Perhaps Zero's journey is kind of what most voidsent just..adjust to in order to survive on the source (assuming they can't consume actual people)
I had always kinda thought "fresh" voidsent were kind of aetheric vampires in how they feed, but as some comments above point out, 1) there are a lot of fates etc that show different and 2) Yeah, Zero is just Zero, and not necessarily indicative of what all voidsent are like.
Thanks!
Ah, also if anyone knows, is there concrete statement about the voidsent in Gold Saucer? Like are they doing a Monsters Inc thing too (fueled by the happy feels of guests)? I'm assuming yes.

Also keep in mind, that the voidsent we see living full-time on the Source tend to form familial bonds and relationships. The Gruff family, "Philcox"'s friendly rivalry with Papa Gruff, Ultros and Typhon's friendship (and if you believe Eorzean naturalists, gaelicat clowders), etc. Basically, once removed from the environment of the Thirteenth, where everything's aether is quickened to such a degree that nothing is stable, voidset don't have to keep to their more "mischievous" ways. Of course, by their nature of aether-starved creatures aspected that heavily to Astral Darkness they would require more aether intake than the peoples of the Source. Basically they would be constantly starving, but given the world itself isn't also heavily aspected towards Dark, they might "bleed" aether less quickly than when in the void.
