Glamours. Of course, if they ever make it so we can have minions and mounts at the same time. . .

Also, one thing is *really* bugging me: Minfilia suddenly gaining the ability to understand languages. Even in 2.1 when we first saw Elidibus we see she couldn't understand anything but her own tongue.

What happened here?

Oh, good. That was bugging other people too.

Cute minion aside I've been wondering why Midgardsormr is hanging out with us. We came to try and take him down and have been fighting his followers on behalf of Ishgard. Maybe he assumes we will find out eventually what the truth is and is satisfied to wait rather than tell us anything? He strips the blessing of light to test us? See if we can really do something without a Goddess behind us. It seems like Ishgard did something they are not telling anyone about and we are probably helping the wrong side. Ascians are involved somehow as they are in everything. Kinda looking forward to that in the expansion learning more about Ishgard history and who the heretics in Dravania really are. It seems at some point a civil war started when one group stopped worshiping their dragon gods possibly to worship some other god i guess secretly the Ascian god?

The same ones where he makes it clear that Moenbryda still can't understand him, you mean?

No, I suspect there's something else going on. Perhaps as simple as Minfilia becoming stronger in the Echo.

Hmm. . .now I'm curious. I don't actually remember the quest(s?) where we hear ancient language. Mind saving me the trip through the Journey?

As for a possible lore reason, the only thing coming to mind would be that before when we heard the other language it would have been Lahabrea or Elidibus talking, neither of whom are "of this world."
