EW Launch Trailer Language Comparison

Not to mention Zodiark's actual core and summoner is a literal child (Elidibus, the real one), so... you may be onto something!

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
