5.0 Story & Zone speculation.

[Iscah]

While Uriangier and Y'shtola in our shard, but inhabited by the souls of others (Matoya and an as-of-yet unknown character, potentially Louisoix?)

It's an interesting theory, but that's either genuinely Urianger or someone using his archaic speech patterns. ("What sayest thou?" instead of "what say you?")

Do we know how Louisoix talked?
Another potential candidate... Midgardsormr?

It's probably just Urianger, no one else really talks like him because it's not a real accent.

IIRC the explanation for his archaic speech was basically 'lol it's because he's a big nerd.'

He was an active character in 1.0, which I didn't play, but also we hear a bit from him in the Binding Coil questline. As far as I remember, he talked normally.

Correct, it's not an accent, though I suppose you could say it's the time-based equivalent - which still doesn't mean that no one else will talk like that, but it certainly makes it a lot less likely.

And yeah, prettymuch on where he picked it up from. The lorebook says his fascination with prophecies and reading as many as he could, meant he ended up taking on that poetic style of speech.


Can kind of relate, as a nerdy kid who probably picked up a lot of vocabulary from reading books.

Wasn't that the phoenix, or at least a 'tempered' Louisoix?

Kinda sorta, but it's still him. Phoenix isn't a separate entity that possessed him - he's essentially the origin of that primal, which is why we mustn't tell anyone else that it happened.

And we see him unpossessed, in the end. I checked the cutscene and he definitely talks normally, or at least in the still-slightly-archaic way that all of the characters do. But no "thous" and no archaic verb-endings.
