This is why you never touch time travel. It fucks everything up because so few people can write it well. And when you add a team making side quests and all that having to work together on it you get this mess.

Was Elpis fun? Absolutely. And had everyone forgotten my visit it would have been fine.

But THE GLORIOUS AND MOST MAGNIFICENT HYDAELYN, LONG MAY SHE REIGN! had to be shown tp be all righteous and awesome and cool. And she had this sword, that did like a bajillion damage, and it could sunder the star! even though she didn't have nearly as much sacrificed to her as Zodiark she was just so awesome and cool she could still beat him!

Sorry. I just really really hate how Hydaelyn was written.
