Genuinely baffled…

… At seeing people after Lantern Rite being all 'what?? Neuvillette is at least a thousand??? I thought he was five hundred????'

Like. Like. Like. Pls for the love of all things holy, forget what you read on the wikia. He was appointed Chief Justice five hundred years ago. That was the only timeframe we had up until that point. At no point did anything say he was born five hundred years ago.

In fact, basic logic dictates that he couldn't have been?? Unless he suddenly snapped into existence as a fully functioning adult and Focalors was magically aware of it to be able to send him a letter in short order. He was not born the same day he became Chief Justice, there is no way that that makes sense w/ the other information we had.

Now it'd be fair to debate how much older than five hundred he was, although if you assume not much then you're assuming he still was born as a fully functioning adult or he aged really fast at first and then stopped. I, personally, was always of the at least a thousand years contingent, but since we didn't have a number before, there was no way to know.

Now, though, we have a number (and I say at least a thousand to prevent any quibbling about translations, although I think it makes sense for him to be more). And I'm inclined to believe Furina, given how long they've known each other. Esp after finding out about Focalors plan, I don't see Neuvillette keeping that from her (knowing him he absolutely sat her down and told her everything from the beginning, and she was like 'dad, I appreciate it, but I'm a little traumatised atm').

Hopefully someone will correct the wikia, but like. Guys. It was in the text. It never said he was five hundred, just that he'd been Chief Justice for five hundred years.

#Firebird Randomness #just bc he never met Egeria doesn't mean he was only born then #he considers himself an outsider in Fontaine he came there from somewhere else #esp since he seems to have been aware that he was the Sovereign from the get go even w/out most of his memory #so the Sovereign has no reason to go seek out the very Archon who got handed his authority #esp when reborn as a human and trying to figure himself out #he also says he had little interest in humanity #so it makes sense for him to have just been wandering until Focalors contacted him #like pls…#read the game?
