That brings to mind a question. Since Elidibus was the heart, and we've seen numerous creatures and monsters control things not connected to themselves over the course of the game, could Elidibus control Zodiark from afar, since they were still technically linked? That would be the key info we need here whether to debunk the story or not, considering Ishikawa herself wrote that story for Nier: Reincarnation.
