Uh yeah, that's my point to?? What I mean to say is that giving g'raha the Exarch's memory is already dubious enough, but he had to shove his own soul too. This resulted in current g'raha mostly being the Exarch, not our time line g'raha. And I personally dislike that.

He may have entrust the First into crystarium people, but I'm talking more about his self. And no, current g'raha isn't "next generation" past g'raha. If he truly was, he should be free from the knowledge and personality of the Exarch to develop into his own person, since the new time line will have new future. Maybe this example isn't the best, but this situation is like if minfilia still tag along inside ryne despite already giving all her power, and changing ryne's personality due to that.

Yep. This is the selfish part of The Crystal Exarch's whole deal. In creating the extra soul crystal, he robbed his younger self of an existence free to live his own life. The game itself acknowledges that 'G'raha Tia' on the Source, and 'The Crystal Exarch' were separate people; or separate personalities.

The Crystal Exarch should have never had an out in the first place, as I said prior: it cheapens the sacrifice. He always thought he had an out, he was never truly 'sacrificing' himself for his people, and his friends. While yes, it wasn't a guarantee that his plan with the extra soul crystal would succeed, it's the intent.
