i agree with the general fanfic idea that says younger estinien when he heard about midgardsormr and bahamut suddenly appearing over epic battles would totally think to himself "ohhhh if i had been there i would have fought that dragon. i would have twirled my spear and jumped real high and fought that dragon so hard"
it's very entertaining to me because now he's mid-thirties, semi-retired, and helping dragons treat their c-ptsd and sometimes instead of angst he gets to laugh at his younger self, because now he has memories that that was 1) Dad, inteplanetary warrior refugee who entered a covenant with the literal goddess of this star, and who can turn highly complex magical blessings inside-out as, like, a prank, and 2) his older brother who would lovingly wipe the floor with him whenever he was being a brat as a hatchling, only primal-ized, filled with hatred, and the size of a city
yeah buddy. you go fight that dragon. can't hurt to try

Alisaie: "You're not seriously planning on fighting Bahamut by yourself, are you?"
Me: "I can't kick his ass without getting closer."

No matter the hardships we may face.
Tumblr media
The difficult choices we must make.
Tumblr media
Or the harshness of our world.
Tumblr media
We will always stand tall.
Tumblr media
For that is all we can do, in the end. Side by side with our friends. Our family.

FFXIV fans this is your daily reminder that if Estinien has even a tiny fraction of Nidhogg's memories he knows a hell of a lot more than he's letting on.
Nidhogg remembers at least three Umbral Calamities, and probably four or five. Safe to assume he defended Coerthas from Allag, and that he heard Vrtra looking for Azdaja and the primal-ification of Bahamut through dragon song. The DRG 80 quest states Nidhogg considered himself guardian of the star after Midgardsormr. At his prime, Nidhogg may have even known or been trying to learn his father's abilities - the changing form, the crystals, possibly even the ability to speak with Hydaelyn. Theory time: Hydaelyn may have even rejected him for being a dragon supremacist.
Estinien's shortcomings (if you don't have another silly explanation for them) have to do with mortal knowledge and interactions, like niceties, coin, and bluffing immigration officers. He asks for the Scions to explains things because they have discovered stuff nobody knew before this, or they were using vocabulary he doesn't know.
In Shadowbringers the idea of Ascians doesn't phase him, but the different shards and time travel nonsense throw him for a bit of a loop, coincidentally things Nidhogg wouldn't know. He is very tense at the idea of the WOL seeing his memories, and leaves immediately, but after telling you he shares Nidhogg's memories in 5.5 he chills out and hangs around more. Like he saw the writing on the wall about joining the Scions and covered his own ass in case of an Echo vision.
In Endwalker the reason I think he said "At least I will not pretend to understand this talk of ancient primals or the Final Days" and the like is because he has to constantly sort out if what Nidhogg knew was correct. He is remarkably chill staring up at Hydaelyn like "ya bitch let's go let's fight God." What Hydaelyn said to Estinien about hate becoming love is ambiguous enough it could also apply to Nidhogg.
And you are still the only person he has directly told he shares some memories with Nidhogg. He is deliberately not sharing this with people. He doesn't want to be Nidhogg. Most of the information is pointless outside of Coerthas in the 7th astral era. He makes an exception when he is the only one who knows something important - there's a Great Wyrm behind the curtain, how to motivate depressed dragons, the Eyes of Nidhogg are active again better find them, Omega? wait the thing that chased Midgardsormr? if not me better make sure someone handles it, oh shit Zenos is standing back up that's not Zenos anymore-
Then he just wants to have a drink and some dried squid and chill out. Not get interrogated about past kingdoms, or have his brain and eyes poked at when he dies ( . . . if he's even mortal anymore.)

You know the whole Louisoix getting tempered thing becomes a LOT more horrific when you realize tempering is less like demonic possession and more like being turned into a zombie who's only desire is to "feed" (i.e. kill or turn others)
I guess it was sort of easy for me the first time running the Bahamut raids to just brush over it as an exciting identity fakeout plot twist. Oh this isn't the real Louisoix! Twins will be fine, we're doing cool hero stuff!
But up until Endwalker, tempering had no cure and it eventually warped the afflicted into mishapen monsters as their bodies deteriorated. If a Primal got a "bite" out of you, there was no escaping it. And it's not abstract fantasy magic to the people of Eorzea, it's a very real threat that required the straight up execution of friends and family because killing them was the only mercy you could offer.
And with Louisoix... like, this figure comes up to you sounding and looking like your grandad. You think you found him! He's alive! But then it turns violent and you realize your grandad is dead. "Something" else that's taken over and warped his body, and it wants to kill you.
Maybe some part of his memories and impulses are still in there and come through for flashes, but the thing controlling him has already won, because he's already dead. All the hopes you had of a reunion or a peaceful end for him have now been dismembered because this monster wearing his face is loose and bent on destruction.
And if you don't kill that thing yourself, and take down this hive and its leader, a LOT more people are going to die.
That's. Extremely traumatic actually.
