Seriously, I wish I could quote the dialogue that quite specifically states he sealed himself inside the cocoon with the primal to shut this crap down. Anyone know of a website that transcribes dialogue?

There you go, also take note of Settiesama's post.

I'd like to see how you're gonna "shut this crap down" as you say.

Nowhere in that text is even implied he was going to seal himself inside the cocoon.

The journal summary (which is as much canon as the dialog) uses two different terms for the person who was consumed by the spell and the entity sealed

He forbid Yda from staying because "her path cannot end here"

Urianger calls him a "fallen comrade"

Alphinaud asks to himself "how many more must we lose?"

Yda says "...It's over, Papalymo. It's all over..."

Allisaie says "To attempt such a magick requires every onze of one's aether. No one─not even Grandfather─could cast it and hope to survive..."

If you still think he's alive then by all means post your evidence that counters actual in game text, but drop the attitude.
