True, right? It was the first thing I noticed during the cutscene and I was like: "Damn, she's blind now". But suddenly she sais she can see something different in Alphinaud and that maybe her stay in the Lifestream has changed her eyesight perception, so I was "Wait... her eyes depict blindness... yet she sais she can see..."

It was right when Matoya brought it up that I was right in my thoughts and that Y'shtola was employing her own lifeforce to be able to see, albeit differently.
