Lore goddess ain't got shit. I had a severe "what. the. actual. feck." moment when that happened in the MSQ.
If you talk to Alberic post 50 DRG quest, it clearly states that Estinien is the Azure Dragoon no more. "The first time in our nations history without a champion." bleh bleh. I was under the impression that Nidhogg either A) consumes him entirely, aether and all, or B) you do in fact... kill Estinien.
Neither eventuality explains his jovial appearance in the 2.55 MSQ. So... I am forced to call retcon. SE must be operating under the assumption that the Player Character has not completed the 50 DRG quest. But even then... if you have completed the 50 DRG story quest, Estinien recognizes you as his fellow Azure Dragoon, as if you were all buddy-buddy like you were pre-Lvl 50 quest. Ugh.
On the one hand... good lore on how the Azure Dragoon and Nidhogg's Eye actually work in tandem with each other. On the other... completely makes no sense.
