Revelations from Patch 6.4: The Dark Throne

Uhhh... no? I get that just a flat 'no' isn't a great thing to be responded with, but... no.

The four-month patch cycle is really killing my ability to hold onto minor details.

Nonetheless, she does visibly react to it, so I think there's something there. Never mind how Y'shtola magically pulling "Zero" out of a bag of names in an FFIV homage storyline is as on-the-nose as randomly nicknaming your newly-resurrected uncle "Judas" with absolutely no knowledge of his true identity or how he died. (That's Tales of Destiny 2, FYI)

Its apparently named after a "hero of eld". My current guess is that the original Zeromus is who that statue in Zero's domain is.

I mean, yeah. I got that bit. Zero reacts like she has some baggage there, either just with heroes or with the name "Zeromus" in particular, and all of that works fine... except for the part where Y'shtola pulling "Zero" randomly out of a hat several patches ago now strains credibility to the breaking point. I let it slide when I thought it foreshadowed our Zero being involved in the (anticipated) Zemus -> Zeromus transformation, but instead we just skipped Zemus entirely and coincidentally have two characters named Zero, one entirely on accident. It bugged me then, it's really bugging me now.

Maybe Y'shtola will say later that she really pulled it off an inscription on that statue or something, except she can't because the naming thing happened before going to Zero's domain.
