ON THE WORD OF THE MOTHER, ENDWALKER, AND KNOWLEDGE
So, as we know, the plot with Hydaelyn and Her knowledge and the such were not fully solidified during Heavensward-era. Thus, we do not know exactly how much Minfilia knows, as Her voice. Thus, this my official position on such, for use in roleplaying Minfilia in a 3.0-onwards period.
THE STATE OF HYDAELYN
A few things we know about Hydaleyn is that she would not try and deceive Minfilia, but her own power was weak. She may have been able to use the energy she was saving to test the Warrior of Light to sustain herself, but that may have not been an option. Perhaps Hydaelyn had that as a final idea, but felt that this was the better idea. I do not like the theory that Hydaelyn simply followed the path set out in the past, without finding her own joys.
We do know, however, that Hydaelyn also is a Primal who desires the future moreso then the past. (See: The Watcher.) So while Minfilia would wish to know many things, it would be tinted with both Hydaelyns' desires and Minfilias' own bias against Ascian.

WHAT MINFILIA KNOWS
- Knowledge of the Unsundered World. Basic knowledge, mind you - but also a glimpse at the beauty and love that Venat held for it - but a similar love that Hydaelyn holds for the star now. This does not include many names or focused things, mind you.
- What the moon truly is. That it's livable and full of bnuy.
- Vague memories of the Convocation, conveyed to Minfilia. To what the Ascians were, before they fell into the Darkness.
- Basic skills based on DNC and WHM and PLD. You know, even if that doesn't come up. Since she's so closely interlinked with Hydaelyn.
- Part of The Plan - that the Warrior of Light must continue fighting, to prove that hope can overcome everything, and that they must survive. This is also why she says it's not their time during the beginning of 5.0.
- The fact that a lack of Aether would cause doom - and the nature of Dynamis being A Thing.
- that hydaelyn loves her c:
- The true nature of the Endsinger, nor anything outside of the Star.
- The full plan with the Lopporit. So while she knows of bnuy, she only knows them as custodians of Zodiarks' prison.
- What would truly happen if Zodiark were to go free. She does know it would end in disaster, but not why - thus why she speaks in her own way about such.
- Full memories or connection to anything mentioned above. Everything is vague!
- Hydaelyn would NOT have told Minfilia, nor would have Minfilia known beforehand, about the journey to the First, nor the Warrior of Darkness thing. I think it makes more thematic sense if Minfilia made that choice fully on her own.
