The 2.5 (Part 1 & 2) speculation thread

[treuhavik]

There is a distinct impression I get from the setup that early Ishgard was probably founded with the AID of the dragons and that's why Shiva was a Saint then.

The Enchiridion, holy scripture for the Ishgardian faith, brands Shiva the Original Heretic ─ the first to succumb to the temptation of the dragons. Her followers, however, venerate her as a saint who tried, yet failed, to bring together man and dragon through her own selfless sacrifice.

EDIT:

The dragons wanting to the returns things to the way they were means to kick the Ishgardians out of Coerthas.

I'm not validating the above statement, but if true, would that make them any better than the Ascians?

The Ascians just want to make things as they were before (whatever that truly means), which would kick humanity out of existance, presumably. And, Just like Ishgard, the people of Hydaelyn want to keep living and doing as they please. All sides want what they want and are willing to do whatever necessary for it. Does this make any one's cause more just than anothers?

Maybe... Please look forward to it!

Well that depends on what happened to Zodiark and the Ascian we miss a lot of informations here, the dragons have been invaded by the Ishgardians and try to take back the Coerthas for 1000 years. At the beginning of the war they were in their right, now it's just a pointless bloodbath.
