Thread: 3.1 MSQ Reaction [SPOILERS]

Either way, they seemingly worked together for at least long enough to not bother with Omega directly. Elidibus seemed more angry at Lahabrea's arrogance and complacency than his actual attempt to initiate the Eighth rejoining. It was Nabriales he claimed was acting above his station. Rather, he says that the loss of Lahabrea will be felt deeply, since he was an "original" (of our world, touched by Zodiark).

Could you explain that last sentence, actually? Lahabrea *seems* like just a typical Ascian, right down to how he possessed Thancred with a dark crystal, I don't really understand the special note that's being made about him and, for that matter, Elidibus, by Nabriales.

I see the big open door for this interpretation (considering Urianger has been hearing Elidibus out and suddenly found an extra auracite). But, at the same time, I wonder if that is enough evidence to jump to discounting what we've been told (that it Moenbryda's research and she had a a back-up in her personal belongings, which he found after they reclaimed the Rising Stones). Do we have more than that?

I don't know about you, but given the end of 2.55 and Urianger's dialogue if you go talk to him at Waking Sands between that and 3.0, I really don't see Urianger as being capable of lying to us about anything. He seems too protective of all the Scions, ourselves included. He might omit to mention what he's been up regarding his secret meetings with Elidibus, but this might be because he's using Elidibus to gain all the knowledge he can to help us. I think we can draw a parallel here between Urianger's 3.0 meetings with Elidibus and Thancred's handling of his investigation into the Ascians back in 2.0. Hopefully Urianger doesn't end up in the same kind of situation.
