Gerun Oracles

If you go to talk to Urianger about the state of the realm he says this:

Urianger: “Knowledge dictates expectation, and expectation colors perception.”
Urianger: On occasion, truth may issue from the mouths of fiends and foes. Our knowledge is dwarfed by our ignorance, and what wisdom we possess hath been distorted by the passage of time.
Urianger: But no matter how distorted our wisdom becometh, may it never be forgot that man is the master of his own destiny.
Urianger: The final verse of the Divine Chronicles foretelleth the destruction of the world. But if it is our fate to perish, so too is it our fate to fight.
Urianger: So let us fight on, as ever we have, in the hopes that the dawn's light will shine again and forevermore.


This is one of the reasons I think Urianger on our side still. What I find interesting is he is basically saying that while we are ignorant truth is prone to being skewed by perception and understanding.

The part I particularly like is where he basically says we are masters of our own fate and if that is wrong then it is our fate to die fighting for a better tomorrow regardless. I think this will color where things go. In the end, regardless of what we face, we will fight for what we think is right and a better tomorrow even if it means fighting our fate itself.

may it never be forgot that man is the master of his own destiny.

Oh, now we get to be the-- *grumblegrumble* It was forgot already, dude... Nice double-standard.

The Rejoining is a pretty ambiguous term. However, the terms used in German and Japanese seem less so.

Löschung (Deletion / Extinction)

次元圧壊 (Dimension Collapse).

Of course it's less ambiguous in other languages. Thanks, Ferne. The English Lore forum always gets this stuff on Hard mode...
But the Japanese reminds me of FFV's "everything merges with no collateral damage" dimensional collapse more than anything. I doubt it'll be that convenient, though, because House Fortemps still has sons...

Interesting because that's exactly what Elidibus says to Minfilia in his 1st appearance in 2.1; it was mostly referring to people's perception/belief of Asciens being formless/shadowy. And that those with "eyes unclouded" can "see them for what they are, rather than this crude approximation"

Most likely, mastering the Echo will allow us to see their true forms.
