Like a Pinocchio story, except we are our own Geppetto? Or in Final Fantasy terms, X into X-2, where Yuna gets a real Tidus out of the deal. Kinda like, idk, the Fayth recreated a man named Shuyin as Tidus to see the events of FFX to their conclusion... perhaps Hydaelyn recreated Azem?

It seems farfetched because of the idea of shard souls and rejoining of the soul, but how hard would it really be to create shard souls tied to a source soul, all sundered but aligned?
But why would it be like that? As it is, if WoL were to die the next PC should simply be WoL's reincarnation. It's a very obvious narrative thread that allows players to feel like it's still them. I'm not outing Primaltheory on it's own, but with this it's a pretty left-field idea.
