Sting's been having a countdown, and apparently Famitsu tells us what it's for before Sting does.

By the way, I'd rather none of you asked about the Dept. Heaven Episodes thing. All we've speculated on that is that somehow this is related to Riviera, Yggdra Union, and Baroque.

After some time of reading, pics, brawls, and such on this thread, I find an urge to write my opinion in this *conflict* which in a never-ending loop. I will make this as simple as I can, so let's start it.....

There are many opinion regarding this game and it's correlation to the Riviera, Yggdra and the *fillintheblanks* game, such as....:

a)All of the story in all of the saga happens in a same universe, in a same timeline, in DIFFERENT points in the land, which in our language means, HISTORY. In this theory, each of the story in the 4 games make a significance move in the saga itself.....

Riviera: A perv GrimAngel falls, stirring up the place, become hero with his 'Fallen Soldier' sword (Ein-Herjar), living with the sprites, DEAD.

Yggdra: Thousand of years after the story in Riviera happened.....a cute princess escaped from being tormented by her cohorts, finding a lot of allies, taking back capital, becomes queen, launch a counter-offensive charge, sacked the enemy capital, return, met with 'The False Messenger', kill him with Ein's sword and.....

From this the saga actually divides, depending on which option you choose in the game, "Becoming Arthuria" or "Rebelion Against The Gods"

And that's all the conclusion that I can make about the series...for this theory to work, we need to know what the storyline of game No. 3 is. This theory solves the baffling question about 'Marietta' 'Heaven's Gate' and the fate of the Einherjar.

BUT, why is Marietta EVIIIIL in Riviera (Assume 2000 years ago) while she is the typical Archangel in Yggdra, 2000 years AFTER? Question, eh?

b)All of the story happens inside a parallel universe, same playground, different characters with NO connections met between the four.....many people in this site adopts this, as I can see....

This theory meanwhile, solves the question about Bronchitis? No, Brongaa, Mulminams, Paltina, location of the World Tree and other factors that you might think appropriate. But, it also creates the above, questions about Marietta and Co, which Suzu and Feral fight dearly for.

c)The story happens in a DESCENDING ORDER....it means Game No. 4-3-2-1 in a manner. In the same universe and timeline. (NEW THEORY FOUND WHILE THINKING BLANKLY)

Okay, Knights In The Nightmare starts first.....something happen in No. 3 *and* the story of Yggdra starts. Gran Centurio is NOT Einherjar, it's another different *uber* sword. As usual, beat the crap out AND fight with the gods......and ultimately fail....which the gods will call as 'Ragnarok' with the Gods fighting with the forces of 'Eviiiill' namely 'Paltina's Army' yep, no kidding, no demons or goblins in it.

So, the gods angry with the Paltinans and killed them all... (Nuclear Winter maybe?) To make the land fertile again, they put the sprites into the deserted land.....and promise to return to them again....and that is Ein.

This theory meanwhile solves the question of Marietta, (Lose to Yggdra, gods angry, make her fall, sad, becomes evil, corrupting the people....yaddayaddayadda Tethyh) and also the 'missing civilization' mystery.

d)HUMAN BRAIN. Yep, we all are fighting for a moot point. Each one have their own thoughts and perspective on this game. The developers and we, the fans have their own ways and ideas to fill in the hole in the theory they adopt.....and we just can't fight our own CREATIVITY and EGO about this.

Well, long post eh? I try to make my conclusion about this *conflict* in an all encompassing view about the game. For me personally, I choose the option 'A' but will not raise a middle finger if someone choose B, C or D. For me, it's not important to fight for this......@#@%%@!! It's better to live with it rather than resisting it whole.

But one thing for sure.....I love my theory about 'C' option....somewhat fit.....as it solves down a lot of questions about the saga, but who knows, it depends on the person.....

P/S: Discuss about this.....I'll accept anything but be fair, don't mock me for my statement....I just writing what I think about this....... YOU TWO, STOP FIGHTING LIKE A NO-BRAINER. Phew, it's been long to not writing a post at this length!
