No, I mean that there is a gap in knowledge between where he was when we left him and where the Exarch is.

I just think it could be more interesting than the current state the character. He doesn't feel like the Exarch any more, but he talks entirely from that perspective and not like there's any melding between the two parts of his personality.
I think the only difference is that the Exarch was more reserved since he had a responsibility over Crystarium. Post 5.3 is just showing the Exarch as he is without the stress.
