EW Launch Trailer Language Comparison

[GoldStarz]

I'm sorry to derail but I keep seeing this... Elidibus was not a child, he was a young man, probably around G'raha Tia's (physical) age. The JP word used is 青年 (seinen), which is the term for "young man", as in, young adult man. If he had really been a child during his tenure as Emissary, the correct term would instead be 少年 (shounen).

I would assume he's closer to Alphinaud's age honestly, partially because if he's G'raha's age it feels less noteworthy and partially because it feels like there's a lot of parallels between him and Alphinaud with them both being very staunch idealists who look up to their coworkers, especially the one who goes out and helps other people at their own behest.

We don't know his exact "age". The implication based on the wording and visuals is that Elidibus was significantly younger/inexperienced compared to the rest of the Convocation. While his job was significant, the rest of the members viewed him as a protégé of sorts.

To add to this, there are actually two versions of "young man" in English. One version is literal, referring to a man who is young, in the context of defining a human male as an "adult", 18+ usually. The other term does refer to a child. This is probably why the term is confusing in English, as they aren't two distinct terms like in other languages. The same is true for the term young lady. Though it's easier to distinguish since most people say young woman when referring to an actual adult. The main distinction between the terms is being literal or being figurative.

On a different note, the little girls voice we hear sounds like it could be Anima, since it plays during that scene in the trailer. It doesn't really sound like Ryne. We've heard her voice get "high" at times and it wasn't the same. Not saying it couldn't be the same VA though, I mean just look at Y'shtola and Titania, lol

[Turethir]

I don't think the voice sounds like Ryne at all - to me it sounds more like Tataru if anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's an entirely new character.

[Cilia]

Yeah I'm not hearing Ryne there either. To be fair though, it's been a long while since I heard her.

If that voice after (maybe) Fandaniel really is Fourchenault, though... Sharlayan - Amaurot link confirmed?

[Yuella]

Same voice actor could be voicing Ryne and another (like Ardbert and Arenvald)

[KageTokage]

That French translation of Fandaniel makes me wonder if his endgame is to destroy everything then have Zodiark completely remake existence after consuming the wayward souls and aether that are left in the aftermath.

[HiraishinNoJutsu]

That French translation of Fandaniel makes me wonder if his endgame is to destroy everything then have Zodiark completely remake existence after consuming the wayward souls and aether that are left in the aftermath.

Yeah that's kind of the angle I'm leaning towards. Since Zodiarks raison d'être is to save the world and provide salvation. If Fandaniel blows up said world and across Hydaelyn people begin praying for someone to save them I would assume all these hopes and prayers would fuel the big man himself just like it did back in Amaurot.

[SannaR]

The "Ryne" voice doesn't sound like her. It's of a different tone and way of speaking. I also just don't see her saying something like that to the WoL.

[Alpheus]

That voice that people say sounds like Ryne sounds more like Tataru for me. Not that in game that's her speaking but rather her VA is voicing another character.

[Vyrerus]

Pretty sure the young girl voice is going to be one of the three Magus Sisters. They don't have an exact line correlation in any of the FFIV translations, but they did taunt Cecil and Co. with some words before and after their defeat.
