Alphinaud was in the 4.4 stinger, but to our knowledge did not experience the phenomenon. I've been trying to find a commonality that ties the victims together... all I can gather is that they were major members of the Scions. I was trying to link the voice to the Warriors of Darkness (Arbert), but my old buddy Fenral (can I still call you Waffles?) said the voice wasn't the same as Arbert's JP voice actor, so that's ruled out as well.

It seems to have been a regional phenomenon targeting the major Scions...

Now, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was Zodiark - who else but a god has the power to rip out souls? Given His weakened state at present, it would explain why it was so garbled and the phenomenon was restricted to Eorzea... but it's just a guess.
