You know what would be funny?

The question is, would we even notice? It's not like shards will look the same as their source counterparts, Ardbert was proof of that.

And frankly we need to let characters stay dead. The whole, "suddenly so-and-so is back!" this game has a huge problem with is really getting old. It takes all impact out of any death they do add to the game. We already got Wuk'd to death and have to deal with someone on staffs food fetish, adding the Rick Sanchez, 'let's just reality hop to find a new Summer/Morty/Beth' thing would just be yet another blow to the story telling this game is already struggling with.

To be fair to this, the Warrior of Light is who the story follows and why Ardbert looks the way he does so it's kind of a special case because we are a stand-in for his story

I brought up Gerolt earlier, and almost every incarnation of him has looked similar and even has a somewhat similar name
Gerolt, Grenoldt, and Genolt

and the hrothgar in Shaaloani had a dedicated flashback to the version of him we met in Shadowbringers
so I don't think it's unreasonable to say we'd recognize any new reflections we meet

This isn't to say it's necessarily good or crucial for them to add more, but it's clearly a precedent and one they'll likely keep doing in the future
