i still don't understand what "tieve round 2" means

If you played the MMO Vindictus there's a big story at the end of her chapter.

Well I played it more than 10 years ago. It's the end of Season 1, not sure if they completely changed the story but it seems that it's still in the wiki. Just look up Vindictus Season 1.

oh so you're talking about when morrighan took over tieve's body. so then to answer your question, no. no tieve round 2. read the FAQ. it's not gonna be the same story from vindictus. tieve and keaghan might not even be in defying fate.

I mean...all they say is...

A: The lore, characters, monsters, costumes, etc. from <Vindictus> will not all be found in <Vindictus: Defying Fate> and the dev team is currently considering various directions for the new title.
Some characters may have altered appearance or different elements, while others may be removed from the new title.
Additionally, original elements of <Vindictus: Defying Fate> will be updated.
Particularly, core game systems such as growth systems and content are being developed in completely new directions.

That doesn't mean a completely different story. And given the descriptions of the areas we can see in the game right now, the story through these first 2 areas sounds pretty similar.

NORTHERN RUINS
Desolate ruins with ancient remains
------
Northern Ruins where the human and Fomor territories meet, both tribes have long abandoned this rough borderland, leaving only a pile of stones that appear to be the remains of some ruins along with some wild animals running peacefully.

However, the situation changed drastically after the report from a Kalbram mercenary corp member on a reconnaissance mission several months ago.

A Gnoll tribe, which had declared independence form the Fomorian army led by Shakal, the king of Fomor, had suddenly settled here.

Tension begins to creep into the Northern Ruins, which had been quiet for a long time.

FROZEN VALLEY
Frozen Valley where large quantites of Brig Crystals were created by the eruption of an ice volcano.
------
Frozen Valley, located close to the front line, houses no Fomorians due to its ice volcanoes and severe cold. Instead, it's full of Brig Crystals that were created under the influence of the unique terrain, luring humans who risk attempting to collect the mysterious mana crystals.

However, it appears humans were not the only ones in need of Brig Crystals. Miner Kobolds of the Fomor Army suddenly appeared in the quiet Frozen Valley and started digging with their pickaxes. Until a mercenary, responding to a wizard's request, arrived at the Frozen Valley and heard the sharp sound of metal.

Maybe it totally changes from here on out, but I'm kinda feeling that might not be the case.

ah.. i was unaware the areas have been given descriptions.. 😅
but we can already see some deviations in the lore from original vindictus. i don't think the word 'wizard' was ever used in vindictus. shakar was also not referred to as the 'king' of the fomors, he was the high commander. there was no such thing as 'brig crystals' in vindictus and the kobolds in hoarfrost hollow were not mining anything. the biggest change is perilous ruins... in vindictus, the group of gnolls led by carminegust (yes, that's what i'm going to refer to him from now on even if he doesn't have that name in original vindictus) that detached from the fomor army had been residing in perilous ruins and the humans were aware of this fact. humans also had not abandoned perilous ruins, rather the crimson blades made perilous ruins their designated training site while the group of gnolls were residing there, as said group of gnolls residing in perilous ruins were peaceful and would not attack humans and were completely fine w/ the crimson blades training there. kirstie would even often visit these gnolls and converse w/ them as she spoke gnollish. but in defying fate it doesn't seem that this group of gnolls were ever peaceful w/ humans? and only recently "suddenly settled" in perilous ruins.

now these changes aren't particularly significant enough to alter the overall narrative of the story or any of the events therein, but it's definitely possible that more significant deviations are made as the story continues.

so i wrote a book here like a total nerd emoji and the funny part is that nowadays i could care less about pretty much anything that has to do w/ vindictus, which is why i put the laughing emoji. and someone put a clown emoji on the book i wrote which i can respect that, but w/ all that being said i have to say... defying fate continues to make deviations in the lore LMAO.

blood lord isn't even a vampire anymore. lol. which means vampires in general probably no longer exist. they weren't particularly significant to the story, but yeah.

taking a closer look at the ainle goblins, they appear to have growths on their bodies that sort of resemble the corruption from season 3, potentially indicating they've retconned the cause of the goblins becoming mindless.

the mercenaries are now PART OF THE ROYAL ARMY. lmfao. which that one is kinda big. because it was the pontiff's court that purposely caused the death of aodhan's family, which is why he left the royal army.
now this could mean any of a number of things... it could mean that the pontiff's court is no longer one of the main villains in defying fate, it could mean that aodhan is a beta male in DF who continues to work for someone who killed his family, it could mean they've retconned aodhan's story so he no longer has a family or that they never died, which could still result in the court no longer being one of the main villains.
now, the pontiff's court had nothing to do w/ "tieve round 1", it was morrighan who was slowly forcing tieve to manifest in erinn, and morrighan who took over her body once keaghan brought her to erinn. but it's still a pretty significant change.

here's something interesting tho. if the pontiff's court is no longer one of the main villains, then ingkells won't have a reason to rebel, which won't lead keaghan to start asking questions. there won't even be any questions for him to ask anyway. if he doesn't become a fugitive, then he probably will never end up in colhen to see tieve fading away to erinn...
