The mere presence of the Steel Maiden spawned numerous theories over the course of the last five years. While Falcom continues to add mysteries to the ever-growing piles of speculations, potential answers in Sen no Kiseki III are still at least another year away. Or are they?

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!
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.
With the introduction of Gnostic elements during the Crossbell arc, Falcom opened a whole new can of worms for theorists to engage with. What follows is a translation of a brief Japanese theory that approaches each fan’s favourite issue – who is the Grandmaster? – from a Gnostic viewpoint.

Trails in the Sky the 3rd, as we can now officially call it, provides a wealth of background information of the Zemurian continent and its history through its gaiden, or side stories. You’ll be able to enjoy dozens of these once the games hits digital shelves in 2017. Some of those, however, are inaccessible through the game and are hidden among the tens of thousands of lines that did make it into the game. Today we got one of those: the pre-release or prototype version of Star Door 14. Continue reading Embarking ‘outward’ and retrieval of Sept-Terrion in proto Star Door 14→
This is going to be a very short post. I believe I know what is going to happen in terms of the final boss of the Erebonia arc. The answer may (or may not) surprise you.
Gu4n has already done an excellent job summarizing the Black History and the possible nature of the remaining Sept-Terion so I won’t go over the general material again (here at any rate). Instead I’d like to offer my own thoughts on the two treasures found within Erebonia and some of the other mysteries that have been presented to us.
For an event as major as the Great Collapse, there is hardly anything we know about this historical catastrophe. We know it marked the end of the Ancient Zemurian Civilisation, which in its entirety disappeared without a trace bar from ruins throughout Liberl and in Grancel’s museum, and plunged the world into five centuries of Dark Ages. A whole continent, split in seven factions, collapsing at approximately the same time. Virtually everything we know about it comes from Sora no Kiseki; both the Crossbell and Erebonia arc hardly contributed to our understanding of the Great Collapse. So, what happened?
