"Could that mean that we/I underestimated Igneel or overestimated Acnologia?"

That sentence made me wonder if maybe Acnologia is "only" having an extremely long life-span but is still mortal. Could he have been stronger in the past and at some point his power started to declined due to old age?

Or is it that Igneel's "half-strength" only referred to how long he could fight rather than how well? What I mean is that the fight might have gone the same way during the part before Face went off, but he could have continued on that level instead of the sudden turn of the tide we actually got.

Regarding Doranbolt, he might make for a side-story. He will surely delete the name "Lumen Histoire" from the FT members' minds, but will he really do the same to himself? After all he doesn't have too much of a reason to trust Makarov.
