The Blessed

[Viridiana]

What's strange is that, even though they do recognize they attacked the dragons in the first place (and provoked the war), they still think the dragons are the evil ones because Ishgard is "the holy place". These people just came out of nowhere and attacked the dravanians ffs. and they think the dravanians are the bad guys ?

I'm just gonna point out this has happened in real life and affects modern politics.

I would say we will fight ysayle one more time before we are both on the same neutral boat and we defeat/sooth nidhogg and kick some pope in the balls so hard that the ascian explodes.

As for the stipping of the blessing, it made me think more like, we already used the power of the light crystals... what about the dark ones, reseting our blessing would enable us to gather the dark crystals which are not bad as many FFs stated Warriors of the light and Warriors of the Darkness are both good guys who stop the opposing force to overwhelm the world so one time is us the good guys and another time is the warriors of the darkness. We bring balance not victory.

Side note somewhere i heard a theory that the red mask ascians might have been the warriors of darkness of yore who became corrupted.

Yeah, I forgot that >_> I should have thought of that though. It's really not the first time Square criticizes religions and politics

Rather than that, I think that Mid challenged us to see if we truly are a warrior of light or just a weak guy pumping every bit of power left in Hydaelyn because we can't do anything alone. Without her blessing, we're just a regular human who can resist primal temper (I think it's because of Mid's protection, or it may be the echo, I'm unclear on that), see some remnants of the past, and... that's it. No more divine protection against evil, we have to do the stuff by our own strengh.

It's the Echo. I'm not aware of Midgardsormr giving anything for what he's taken aside from his occasional commentary. If he wouldn't even tag in to help out against an Ascian whilst taking our measure, I'm not expecting he's providing any assistance whatsoever until convinced.

2.5 and 2.55 spoilers

I don't think that we have any sort of "blessing" from Midgardsormr. I imagine he's just invisible to the naked eye because of dragon magic or the like, and we just communicate with him using the echo. I do think that could be what's up with Minfillia though.

Also you should tag spoilers, just to be safe. Or edit the topic title.

I think one of the admins said Middy talks to you through your own tongue i.e. not the dragon language so no echo involved. Also being the Elder Dragon he is I dont think Echo would be needed for telepathy either.
