I found it somewhat disappointing that the Elonians sound just like any Krytan, other than tossing “Ahai” around as a greeting. It may have been safer and easier to do it that way (no accusations of stereotyping, no VA cheesiness with accents) but it really detracts from the feeling of going to a place that’s been isolated from us, and us from it, for centuries.
Granted we’ve just seen the entry city and it may be more cosmopolitan. But shouldn’t there be a little more sense of the strange and different in conversational communication? Even the Zephyrites sounded a little bit different, perhaps just in having a calm and measured delivery.
I welcome any canon-based “spin” that can reconcile this for me
