Xxain said: Your right, its not consistent. That is why I am asking where did the did the idea of death being the blood price come from. Nyx and Ignis did not gain access to ring because they were chosen. There are people who use then will die, then there are ones like Nyx and Ignis, while not lineage have potential to use it but at a offering, due to their connect with family. Remember, both Ignis and Nyx have limited access to the lineage magic and both are directly responsible for aiding the lineage. Makes sense why the Kings would be willing to allow them use. The access was granted because what they were willing to sacrifice for it was consider worthy. Noctis was not killed by the ring. He in a sense had to commit suicide to allow the ring to to his soul to the other dimension. |
I'm not sure if it was ever stated in the game itself, though the FF wikia does remark that it asks for a blood price.
