The Japanese text, from my limited understanding, goes something like this "Impossible! Why are you here?!" and once the light fades he says "No, wrong... It's not him. (then I'm not sure what he says after)".

The English one goes "No... It can't be..." And then "Bah, a trick of the light. You are a broken husk, nothing more."

Even though it's a minor change, but story wise the Japanese one is revealing something different. Who is this "him" that Emet Selch is referring to? Are we somehow related to the Amaroutian that he created and had his own will and could see that our soul and Ardbert's are the same? In the English one, you wouldn't think that and probably just think that the WoL is becoming more like the Amaroutians.
But the one self aware Amaroutian alludes to you being someone in particular as well. I'll have to rewatch it but I remember they say something that suggests that not only are you one with Ardbert, you are someone he recognizes and thinks is notable. I definitely got the idea the WoL was not only part of a shattered soul, but an important one.



crouching spoilers, hidden plot elements.
