To me he looks different even since last year. My wife doesn't agree with me, but this looks like a different person to me than the historical Xiden I can recall at least... Granted I've spent as little time as possible looking at him or thinking about him, so I'm not confident, but this picture in particular comes across muchly like somebody else to me. Then I read the article where I screengrabbed this image from and this persons words today demonstrated Xiden applesauce brain consistently, so idk..
