The Elementals and artificial souls (Anima quest)

[myahele]

I was wondering if there's a connection there? Or is it just the devs re-using old assets?

Anima "soul"



Elemental (Oha-Sok: Bringer of the 5th Umbral Era)


Elementals were prevalent during 1.0, but in 2.0 you only saw one briefly in the lv. 25 CNJ quest.

We don't know much about the Elementals other than they being sentient beings composed of aether and residing within the world and are sensitive of the aether stream. The anima quest line is us trying to create a soul, with the weapon acting like a device to store that soul + a way to absorb ambiant aether from everything we kill.

Could the Elementals have been created a long time ago? As far as I know Elementals aren't reproducing in any shape and form.

Or it's just them using old assets since it's pretty clear Elementals won't make any physical appearance from here on out?
