Is Zenos Zodiark?

[Stepjam]

The following is all assuming you are ok with spoilers/are current.

No, Zenos is just an abnormally powerful man who managed to get himself an artificial echo. If it weren't for the experiments he did to get that, he would have died at the end of Stormblood when he cut his throat and that would have been that. Besides, it's Elidibus who is Zodiark. Or at least Zodiark's core. Makes me wonder if Zodiark can even be sentient anymore.

Now I’m starting to wonder how Zodiark is doing, too. Will he even be capable of whatever Zenos wants from him? Will he be totally unpredictable in his actions, to the detriment of both allies and enemies -assuming they can get him to do anything in the first place? (If they hadn’t spent so much time establishing him as an important part of the MSQ and lore, I’d wonder if he’d just pull an Alexander and nope out, maybe even taking Zenos with him, leaving us to deal with whatever mess Fandaniel manages to stir up.)
