Well the English voice cast has changed fairly frequently for a number of reasons, resulting in characters getting new voice actors (Yugiri tragically being the most recent afaik), I'd say that'd be the most obvious answer. Unless of course the Japanese voice actor for Arbert is still actively voicing other characters.

That said, I'm leaning towards future Alphinaud... The only thing throwing me off that is the last line; "Throw wide the gates that we may pass!", Zodiark I assume would be singular, the Warriors of Darkness could throw out a 'we' though... Then again so could Alphinaud, if the plan is for the Scions from the worst timeline to swap places with the current Scions, hence the soul extraction... Of course it could just be the royal 'we', but the more I thought about future Alphinaud trying to stop Skynet a Flood of Light, the more I liked the idea... Obviously future Elidibus could help out with any timey-wimey magicks... We've had Warriors of Darkness already, time for the Scions of the Seventh Dusk? This head cannon also involves something happening to future Alisaie, hence her remaining unaffected... Certainly giving future Alphinaud cause to say screw it and mess with time/history... There's also something wonderfully enjoyable about a Sharlayan not just involving himself in history, but going a step further and straight up opting to alter it...

And yes, the Scions from the darkest most terrible timeline all have felt goatees...

EDIT: Oh, and I completely forgot, Alphinaud grandfather did kind of send some of use outside time to avoid the last Calamity... So he has a family history of pulling some timey-wimey stunts...

Actually thinking on that a bit... Papalymo copied Louisoix by sealing Shinryu, next up some Scion has to copy him with some time magic? 6.0 some Scion is going to become a Primal. Can't tell if that would be an interesting narrative to tread, or a predictable one...
