Fan Fest Lore Revelations [Spoilers]

[Fenral]

Without further details (who the voice belonged to and why it was able to rip the Scions' souls from their bodies) anything's game, really.

I've been remiss on reporting on the Japanese version. First things first: it is indeed the same disembodied voice from Prelude in Violet. That might be true in English, too, but it's far too late to trust casting consistency on that end. I rewatched the post-credits stinger from 3.0 just to be sure, and while the voices are close, it's not a match for Elidibus, and not even in the ballpark of Zenos (possessed or otherwise). My current casting ear-guess is Yuuki Kaji, which would mean the voice belongs to an entirely new character and we can safely rule out things like "older Alphinaud" etc. I can also rule out Unukalhai based entirely on pronoun ("watashi" vs Unukalhai's "boku"), just for giggles.

You can't trust english voices for consistency. The JP voice is the same. And they all sounded like Alphie but post puberty haha.
On top of that, 4.4 cutscene voice in english had more distortion effects on top of it making it harder to hear.

I trust the EN casting now; after they switched 99% of it from 2.x - 3.0 it's been consistent.

That said the nuances of the JP language are duly noted, but the possibility of fake outs remains. While the JP voices have been consistent throughout, they might be using a different seiyuu and pronouns in a deliberate attempt to mislead. Such things do happen.

That said I'm not inclined to believe it's a fake out, but it's a possibility I can't rule out. I still have a hunch it's Zodiark Himself, but that's just a hunch.

Apropos of nothing, I had to finally get a new phone and have been playing F/GO since I can actually run it and FEH is on a bit of a story break at the moment. With the Thanksgiving banner coming up, I would ask whether you recommend whaling for Gilgamesh or Scathatch if necessary.

I can't help but imagine Zodiark as having an older voice on the level of Hydaelyn, but then I remember that Lahabrea sounded old but Elidibus is voiced by Japan's favorite ageless pretty-boy. It'd make for an interesting contrast, for sure.


I'm inclined to think otherwise because the JP directly references waiting for a "bearer of a crystal of light", which is not so uncommon that Zodiark would have had to wait 10,000 years for one. (Unless he's referring to the upgrade Middy gave us.)

I'll admit I have since jumped from F/GO to GBF, since the content release timing got waaaay slow on the JP servers. Gilgamesh is "objectively" better than Scatahch because of Enuma Elish, but the latter gets more use from me because single target Quick is BS if you play it right, and good for farming gears. They both get powercreeped pretty bad by later Servants, so you probably shouldn't go ham. Scathach even manages to powercreep herself.
