[Submitted Theory] The Birth of the Ironbloods

Leave a comment

This is one of two theories that has been submitted by Bronze Frog from Gamefaqs.

The First Children, the birth of the Ironbloods. The enormous chimera of a theory about part of Osborne’s plan for CS3 that goes to go all over the place. It’s going to take a lot of explaining, because I believe that nothing happens in a vacuum with this series that identifies with strong world building.

The rest is put behind the cut.

Class VII – Graduating from Cold Steel II to Cold Steel III

1 Comment

Let’s talk about the characters of Class VII, and what is expected to happen to them, post-Cold Steel II.

More details are, of course, behind the cut, because of spoilers. Not only for CS2, though, I’ll make minor mentions of some information revealed in the NG+ quest, as well. (Though I won’t talk about THAT reveal.)

I’m also doing my best to do minimal references to things outside of the English released Trails games, so people who have not played them can read and participate in any discussion brought about by this post. There will be one instance where I bring up 3rd, but it will be based on something from Translation Tuesday.

[Submitted Theory] What Will Become of Class VII?

Leave a comment

We have yet another submission from Danny R for a theory!

I’m really glad to see that my previous theory here was well received. I’m so glad that I’ve decided to write my longest theory next, second only to the king of unknowing speculation and our favorite chancellor, Gillianth Osborne.

Read more behind the cut.

Hello, Mr. Nielsen! Who The Heck Are You?

Leave a comment

Suspicious characters are suspicious. Suspicious journalists are something else entirely. He first appeared briefly in 3rd, and has since made another appearance that didn’t help his situation in being suspicious!

I’ve been extremely suspicious of this journalist since his first appearance in 3rd- but I’m glad to know that I’m not alone. In fact, I’m quite pleased to know that I’m not the only one who has made, and believes some of the things stated on a Japanese wiki. So instead of compiling everything I see, much of this will be translated from here, (Guan has translated it here) though I will also interject many personal anecdotes in this as well.

Note, there are MAJOR Ao no Kiseki spoilers in this post!

[Submitted Theory] Will Rean be the Protagonist of Sen III?

Leave a comment

This new user submitted theory is coming from Danny R.

This is a counteracting theory to my post about Rean not being the protagonist of Sen III. Danny wrote a lengthy and great submission to counteract this and state why Rean will be Sen III’s protagonist.

Floofy showed me this website and after scrolling through some theories for Cold Steel 3, I decided to throw my thoughts into the ring too. I don’t have a single, well-thought theory as to what the possible plot to Cold Steel 3 can be. Instead I have a variety of thoughts on certain subjects that will no doubt play a big role in Cold Steel 3.

Everything beyond the cut is the text of the submitted theory!

[Submitted Theory] 1205 and Beyond

Leave a comment

This submitted theory comes from manifla from the Marvelous forums, or the XSEED forums, now.

Giliath Osborne’s plans for 1205 and how Crossbell would play into them. Not a single mention of the Sept-Terrion in this theory, those are for another theory for another day.

This theory contains spoilers for both the Crossbell and Erebonia arcs. More in detail behind the cut.

[Submitted Theory] Suicide Ends up Causing Trouble for Everyone

Leave a comment

Many thanks to Bronze Frog of GameFAQS who has submitted this great theory to the site!

First off, I have a working hypothesis about Zoro-Agruga, the Dark Dragon and boss of Chapter 4 in Sen 1.

This will contain major spoilers for the Crossbell games, too.

Rean’s Motivation: The Direction of Sen no Kiseki III

1 Comment

I’m still not entirely sure of whether or not Rean will be the main character of the upcoming Sen no Kiseki III, but there’s no ignoring the fact that he’ll absolutely be in the game. Especially after the little reveal from the Tokyo Xanadu eX+ trailer.

However, Rean’s position in Sen III is in the air! Finish Sen II/Cold Steel II to find out why people are confused! Kondo promised a gamechanger, and that’s what Falcom delivered.

As a result, if you haven’t finished the game, please do not continue beyond the cut, for this is dangerous, spoiler-filled territory!

Hopes and expectations for Sen III to crush

Leave a comment

In a thread of NeoGAF, expectations for what Sen no Kiseki III would or could have to offer were summed up and discussed. I added my own expectations to the list and per request decided to publish them here as well. It’s not a particularly profound analysis; mostly an elaborate brain fart that occurred during my break at work.
