>>54013289>might as well argue that scarlet arven and violet arven are completely different people by virtue of the fact that they almost definitely had different experiences before the events of the game based on the professor's past/future obsession and dealing with a different elemental dragon that would probably cause different issues with its abilities.You could argue that, but those factors wouldn't change much. It's a nature vs nurture thing, but with so little difference in the nurture part, it makes very little since to argue that he's a different person. The differences would be so small that it's not even worth mentioning in canon.
Arven knew very, very little about what his parent actually did as a researcher. We'll have to assume that Turo (V) raised his son exactly like Sada (S) did, which is "barely".
>we know for a fact that the missing parent was a scientist that at one point believed in the same thing as the professorDo we? Is there anything that explicitly states that the professor worked with the other parent? As far as I know, it's possible that the other parent wasn't involved in the research at all, but I could be wrong.
But yes, it is largely semantics. It's just that the top in the OP picture is based on information given by the game "in universe", while the bottom is just the logical conclusion that we can draw from knowing both games/"universes".
