There is one woman throughout the entire Sen series that has been eerily absent. She has been the subject of an earlier theory of mine, but Sen no Kiseki III rendered it fairly impossible to work out — either that, or they missed out on some great opportunities to reveal it. Assuming it was broken, I would like to make another attempt: Mother of Laura S. Arseid, where art thou?

After being devastated upon the ending of Sen no Kiseki III, I had to stop and take a step back to disengage and get myself together again. Somehow, it seems to help to look at things with a bigger scope than I would have as disaster was happening one after another.
In the process, I came across something that has been around for quite awhile in the series- a pattern that’s been seeded since First Chapter came out.
This theory will cross over much of the entire series- as a result, there will be tags across all the games.
Or: What the Hell Does ‘Emptiness is Form’ Mean?

Another episode of “Guess the Enforcer”, this time with information gained from Sen no Kiseki III, focusing on the mysterious number III.
My attempt at rationalizing the bonkers game that is Sen III, featuring the favorite word of the first two games: “Power”, and the favorite of the third game: “Curse”.
One last look at Erebonia and its parallels before the madness of CS3.
Replaying through the PC port of Sen no Kiseki, i’ve found myself giving more attention to events that had little-to-no follow-through, or events that can be seen as being more than meets the eye. One such instance occurs in Chapter 3, when the members of Class VII participate in a field study in the Nord Highlands.
I think events there were more than just a simple plan to make two countries get at each other’s throats; I think the events in Nord were meant to birth a new Dominion. Continue reading [Submitted Theory] War in Nord and a New Dominion
This started from something I was 100% convinced to be complete lunacy. It was to the point that I wasn’t entirely willing to even bring it up to anyone because of how ridiculous it sounded. However, I eventually talked it out with Guan, and in our attempts to break the theory, we kept finding more things to even add to it.
It was frustrating!
However, at this point, with everything else in mind, I feel that I can put this theory out, and state that Falcom has been hiding something big under our noses this whole time.
There are, of course, endgame spoilers for the entire Crossbell duology in this theory. Be warned! (There is also a Cold Steel 2 spoiler in here, because it involves a topic that’s difficult to talk about without referencing others related to the topic.)
So, there is less than half a month remaining until Sen III’s release, and at this point we’re not likely to get much more info. Still, with what we already have I think there is enough to talk about a lot of things. Instead of lore or politics however, I want to write about our main character, the Ashen Chevalier, as a human: what we know, his change and his further development. In particular, in this piece I posit that Rean’s development in Sen III will be heavily related with that of his students, and that by helping them overcome his issues he will slowly grow and overcome his own.
