8.0 speculation

[Cleretic]

And the fact Enuo has apparently been cast as a Voidsent lord means we still don't know where the plot is going, other than Halmarut's ominous "If you try to save [all of] the reflections, everything will be annihilated" Big Doomer Energy speech (which we still don't have the full context for, either).

Enuo could be interesting, because my thought is that he might not be a Voidsent lord, but rather a lord of Voidsent, if that makes sense. I actually suspect he might be a corrupted human, like Calofisteri--appropriately, another FFV reference boss that got tied to the Thirteenth.

It might be because I had the idea once before and am still attached to it, but I like the idea that Enuo is from Mhach, and is accidentally getting turned out in the present day, long after the fight he was invested in is over; he's a relic of a conflict nobody still alive has any stake in, but now he's our problem (as opposed to 'I'm technically from some ancient world but I mostly don't care and have my own goals', like Athena and Amon). Especially interesting because, to my knowledge, there's a very fitting part of the game's history that he could fit in: while we know Mhach got into voidsent and void magic later, with Shatotto and the birth of black magic being several centuries before then, we still don't know who introduced them to that. Given that was literally Enuo's FFV role, it makes sense for him to be the guy that did it.
