On Orphan and Barthandelus (Major Spoilers)

[Future Esthar]

Dahaka isn't a flying snake. He may have the same shape as a snake, but I would say he is more similar to the Chinese style dragon.

Subjective opinion.

[Rozaheku]

Lindzei being refered to as a snake is more a symbolic meaning then an actual description. Keep in mind that she is also refered to as a Succubus and I'm pretty sure Dahaka isn't a smexy demon seductress. Let alone a she.

[Future Esthar]

What is a Succubus?I read it on the anaclets but don´t know what it is.

[Rozaheku]

Haha, a Succubus is a female demon who secudes men in their sleep. The male variant is called an Incubus. They are often associated with vampires.

[Future Esthar]

Hun?
Chocobos?
Just joking

Don't trust the datalog too much, it contradicts the story and itself a few times throughout. I especially like getting into a new chapter, opening the datalog and reading exactly what I haven't done yet.

I quite like some of the datalog contradicting, it's like real world folk law, doesn't always make sence.

I agree with Welsh Wonder, as far the Analects go with the contradictions it's like real history...vague, and open for interpretation by different people who view it. But as far as contradictions in the Events and Characters sections, they are updated as you find out more details through out the story. So actually....by the time you're in Chapter 11 to 13, everything in those sections is clear and totally non-contradictory.

As I already explained many times.

[Loony BoB]

Certain parts contradict only so they don't spoil the story, and even then you'll often find that don't actually contradict each other so much as they say "It looks like..." or "It seems as though..." but doesn't actually state things as fact.

The analects are certainly not hard evidence to anything, though, no more than such things are in the real world.

However, to say all of the DataLogs should be dismissed is to render them utterly pointless, and I think doing so only makes one look like a fool.
