Midgardsormrs children question... (post-HW so thread may contain spoilers)

[Frederick22]

I think Tioman is, or rather was, Nidhogg's lover. Once she is defeated, her dying words are along the lines of, "I'm sorry my beloved". And if that is themcase then she is part of Nidhogg's brood but as his mate not his sister, although...?

Anyway, seeing as how she is merely a boss and has no story tie ins, I don't think she is one of the 7. I do think Vidofnir could be one of the 7, but I have no proof only a feeling. Though, her name does have a similar motif to the others. And, she also bears a resemblance similar to one of the 7 children in the artwork.

Lol Vdofnir is Hraesvelgr's dauther, did you skiped cutesenes or what? xD

Is Fafnir in the game already?

Why would Midgardsormr himself be pictured in a picture titled 'the 7 CHILDREN of Midgardsormr? That is not 'clearly' Midgardsormr, if anything it 'clearly' isn't him.

It's titled Midgardsormr and His 7 Children.

You know Jörmungandr is just another name (the real name) of Midgardsormr, right?
It's more likely to be Angrboda.

Or Midgardsormr is like that of Ymir in Norse mythology and just birthed the children on his own.

I know who Tioman is....

What I am saying is that I recall her being called Nidhogg's brood sister...which would make her one of the 7 great wyrms

You keep referencing something you vaguely remember.
She's only referenced a few times. Go back and check it before making your claim.
Because I'm pretty sure you're mistaken. Maybe misremembering or misunderstanding something that happens.
It happens, but don't try to make some kind of claim on some recollection you can't fully recall.

The closest thing I remember is she is referenced as part of Nidhogg and his Brood I believe.
That was in context of being different from Hraesvalgr's brood who we parleyed with in Dravanian Forelands.
So Brood in that context was part of Nidhogg's own family group but those Broods are not part of the 7.

Fairly certain she is never directly called his Brood-Sister.
But I'm not going to re-check. You're the one making the claim, so come back with the direct quote you're thinking of if you wish to refute our current understanding.

Bahamut primal we encountered at the end of 1.0 was an super powerful version of Bahamut as said in one of the last quests, the reason they don't wanna capture a primal like bahamut again to stop reincarnation is because they start fermenting themselves with prayer until they become an A-bomb

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tioman_Island


According to legend, Tioman Island is the resting place of a beautiful dragon princess.[1] Whilst flying to visit her prince in Singapore, this beautiful maiden stopped to seek solace in the crystal-clear waters of the South China Sea. Enraptured by the charms of the place, she decided to discontinue her journey. By taking the form of an island, she pledged to offer shelter and comfort to passing travelers.

I'm actually quite curious as to what thay're doing with Tiamat?


Yeah, she's bound for eternity, but is that all? Is it some sick form of Allagan punishment they've inflicted on her for being the one to summon primal bahamut? I would think that they'd place a mind-control device on her.

It appears to just be zealous restraining - she's not only shackled, but gruesomely pinned to the platform. I don't think it was intended as "punishment" so much as yet another example of late-era Allag possessing very little empathy for the treatment of their captives.

But yes, it's quite implied that even for all that, she could break out of those restraints after five thousand years of their decay (and if not, then Middy or her siblings would assist her with it in a twinkling). It began as restraint, but she herself has taken it as punishment.

They probably just sealed her so she isn't a threat. Too smart to be brain jacked.

I think they allude to Tiamat being able to break free. Midgardsormr asks her why she has not forgiven herself yet, possibly implying that she could break free and live a normal life. Tiamat herself does not wish to as she regrets allowing the Allagans to use her sorrow to create a poor reincarnation of her beloved Bahamut. She says that this is her own punishment, and she'll atone here until the world itself ends.
