Freedom for Tiamat

[Unholychinchilla]

Something that irked me a little is that the dragons go on and on about how time is eternal and 'then' is as 'now' for them, and yet despite defending Nidhogg and his horde's rage for the betrayal of Man, Midgardsormr comments on how long it has been and asks if Tiamat will not finally forgive herself.

I'm sorry, I want her to have her freedom too but.... what is the difference here? ;_;

Even if it's not as long for dragons Bahamut's summoning did happen longer ago than Ratatoskyr's death. Look at it this way, it's:

"It's only been a couple of days since his sister was killed so Nidhogg is still pretty volatile."

Vs.

"Please Tiamat, you've not left this room in a week, you need to start forgiving yourself for what happened."

Freedom isn't what Tiamat needs. Get that dragon some therapy! Are there any dragon psychologists available? I think the poor girl is in serious need of some grief counseling. She may be putting a bit too much of the burden of blame on herself, as well; I'd say the Ascians and Allagans had a FAR greater stake in the disaster than she herself did. I'm guessing she understands that, logically, but emotions can be a bit more tricky... So, counseling!

Seriously, though, as easy as it would be to make Tiamat a permanent fixture in Azys Lla, seeing Tiamat recover from her grief is one of my greatest wishes for the game.

Even if it's not as long for dragons Bahamut's summoning did happen longer ago than Ratatoskyr's death.

Yeah, bear in mind that the Allagans did their thing more than five thousand years ago during the Third Astral Era. All the drama with the Ishgardians, Ratatoskr, and Nidhogg happened less than a thousand years ago, during the Sixth Astral Era. That's quite a difference in timespan, and Middy could easily have felt that Niddy was well within his rights to still hold a grudge, even while feeling that Tia might be a bit of a drama queen about the whole Bahamut disaster.
