All we're doing is theorizing. Not bashing people, which you seem set on doing. Coming from an English major who took their psych courses, I'm intimately familiar with foreshadowing as a literary device and confirmation bias. Italicizing terms that you assume I don't know does not make you seem smarter, but it does make you seem rather condescending. Anyway, thank you for your two cents, I did appreciate the conversation.
Apologies if you feel I'm being condescending and arrogant, and that I'm trying to insult you. Never my intention. If I see holes in your theory I will attack them, though. (It's in my nature, for better or worse.)

So you forgot about Tataru's lines and smile until something on Azys Lla reminded you of them(?). What's your point there? She could have only gotten the hides though Monetarist financing or Ascian assistance? Not necessarily - while rare, chimeras do exist off the isle. Gameplay aside, there's no reason to believe chimerical hides can only be obtained on Azys Lla. We fight several during 2.0 (Cutter's Cry, Dhorme Chimera, Gorgimera, Garm in the World of Darkness, and the ones that occasionally pop up from Peisteskin Treasure Maps) so their habitat is not exclusively on Azys Lla.

How she got the money for them, well, that's another question entirely. Aside from her waitressing job in the Forgotten Knight Tataru probably had exclusive access to the Scions' funds post-2.5.5, and I doubt she'd mind splurging a little to outfit her returned friend with spiffy duds. Without knowing how much was in the Scions' bank account, how much she was making as a waitress, and how much chimerical hides go for on in-game markets it's impossible to say for sure she could afford it, but well... she did. Somehow.

What evidence do you have to support Tataru's lines and smile near the end of 2.5.5 being fishy? (Personal feelings and interpretations don't count. See above for the chimerical hides.)

I'm all for theorizing, but if you're going to bring up a theory defend it with evidence.
