Revelations from Tales from the Twilight

[Enkidoh]

Spoiler...

That one's weird and felt like a retcon. Why didn't Fordola tell Lyse that she knew Yda?

Yeah, I feel the same - especially

that once Fordola got the Resonance she would have certainly seen glimpses of Lyse's past, and yet... said nothing. Not one word, despite this story supposedly stating it was Yda who convinced Fordola to become the bitter pragmatic survivalist over everything else that she ultimately became before the Liberation. Sure she has her stubborn pride and all, but pride and stubbornness can only carry you so far. Hell, given Fordola's attitude and personality pre-heel-turn, I doubt wouldn't have passed up the opportunity to use that knowledge to mock Lyse or at least throw her off during their encounters prior to the final battle in Ala Mhigo, and yet, she did not do that either. It just.... seems odd.

That and the story made it out Yda's Sharalyan tattoo was of Ala Mhigan design... unless it stated she had a facial tattoo when she had none at all, at least, when compared with her model in 1.0 (an old Gridanian story cutscene in 1.0 showed her without her mask apparently without any facial tattoos and the Sharalyan one was on her neck after all). It comes across as another odd retcon.

This is an interesting story, but these retcons to shoehorn in Yda into Fordala's backstory just seem a little... off I guess.
