"In from the Cold" Scenario, any way to skip it?

I find it funny how Zenos is able to use his own power when in our body, yet the WoL seemingly forgets any ability they ever had.

I mean, at that moment Zenos is wearing a body that has taken down gods. Repeatedly. In contrast, we were wearing a body of a random Garlean grunt who might have seen some overseas skirmishes, but could just as easily never have done anything beyond guard duty in the palace in Garlemald.

If you take two highly skilled Formula 1 drivers and put them both in Formula 1 cars, they're probably somewhat matched. If you take Driver A and give them Driver B's F1 car, then put Driver B in a 1986 Volvo sedan, chances are driver A is going to be able to outrace driver B even in a car that isn't their usual one.
