At least today's Insider makes me feel a little better now:
"Visually we wanted to make sure that Father Lucant represented an evolution of his original form within the Witchfire rather than a complete redesign. However, Lucant has had several years to improve upon his clockwork vessel since the events in that adventure. As such, Lucant now marries elements of his original appearance with the aesthetics common to the Convergence of Cyriss."
