The Venat Cutscene

Re: Swiss Cheese

There is something to be said that Venat, even in becoming the primal Hydaelyn, is still Venat.

There is also the point that Venat seemingly used the whole soul of those who helped summoning her while Zodiark was still stuffed full with souls of those that gave themselves to him. So I guess its a bit harder to stay oneself if you are part of a being that has a huge amount of people in it, who are still able to talk and feel.

I am curious if the information we learned about voidsent applies to primals.

That is, as I understand it anyway, that if a voidsent consumes another, there is lingering fragments in the host. And it is possible to “lose oneself” if consuming too much.

In the case of Hydaelyn it was indeed a select few with a specific purpose in mind whereas I imagine Zodiark involved more volunteers that didn’t really know the details beyond trusting those in charge. With so many fragments and voices, it is possible Elidabus just got lost in it.

…which also raises the question if the voidsent are just a variation of primal.

Well, voidsent are people corrupted by eidolon energies stored in auracite/memoria, so in a way they are the direct results of primal/eikonic corruption.
