*Spoilers* The Past and After the Endwalker MSQ End

[Iscah]

When you meet Elidibus in the Crystal Tower, his line is weird - he doesn't just say that he saw you in Elpis, he says, "I saw you... No, I did not. But I did." Like he's remembering two different versions of history at the same time.

I still need to rewatch that scene, but is it maybe just the point where he gets the idea to send you back in time in the first place? He remembered he saw you there, thinks it has to be impossible, then thinks that it would make sense if he sent you back there to fulfil that loop?

I would've thought he'd have said "no, I couldn't have" or something if that were the case. "I did not" feels like a counter-assertion instead of just disbelief. Especially since the way he delivers the line sort of makes it sound like he's talking about two separate versions of himself: "I did not. But I did. I did."

But who knows.
