Squall is dead
Why does he have a black hole in his face though
dark souls 2 reference
that's what happens when you die.
Dorcelessness
Terra is Sora in the future and Ventus is timetravelling amnesiac Roxas and aqua is Kairi and Riku's daughter
That makes 0 sense.
>Kairi and Riku's daughter
Literally impossible as of ReM. Now if you had said MoM is Sora from a doomed timeline or some shit you may have some merit.
The most current one is that Shinra from FF7R is the same one from FFX, making them the same planet
That's confirmed. Not the same planet though, he leaves that planet and finds another one.
confirmed by kitase himself, which is pretty cool
Master chief bounced around and killed everyone
Squall, Seifer and Cid were being manipulated by the sorceresses they were close too, either subconsciously or not. Cid was convinced to turn an orphanage into a school for child soldiers, Seifer turned from a punk to a lapdog, Squall just tolerated Rinoa until she inherited the sorceress powers.
He's even questioning what he's doing when he's walking to Esthar with Rinoa on his back, I don't think he's really acting out of his own interests past that point. Fujin flat out tells Seifer that he's being manipulated and Seifer can't see it, he'd rather just leave his two closest friends and throw his ex into the fire (Adel) because it's what Ultimecia is telling him to do.
interdasting... What did Square[soft] mean by this?
Rinoa was a sorceress the entire time. Squall only tolerated Rinoa because the first thing she did upon meeting him was cast a spell on him that made him like her.
>Squall just tolerated Rinoa until she inherited the sorceress powers.
He jumped off a floating fortress and hijacked a flight pack for her
He was brainwashed at the time, see
That OP had parents that actually loved him.

Ever notice that games with really badly told stories get the most theories? Almost like it's people trying to cope because they don't want to accept it's just bad.
very true, but also a lot of theories these days stem from big youtubers who have a vested interest in creating and shoehorning theories wherever possible. As long as they can get an hour long video with ads up, they'll ignore whatever they need to and make up anything.
VR failed because of troons.
what doesn't fail because of them?
big pharma
No VR failled because of it's own limitations paradoxical to its capabilities.
You simply cannot get the "neural link" meme experience. And the best you can get are stand still games.
I want VR games like how old cartoons and stuff portrayed them. Like how the plot of Kid Chameleon is supposed to be a VR game, do that kind of "game" world as an actual VR adventure or like the games from ReBoot.
elaborate on this one
troons single handedly keep beat saber alive which is probably the biggest vr game community
squall is making the cuckboy mouth?
Mega Man X isn't a successor to the original Mega Man, but rather Dr. Light's attempt at succeeding Gamma from MMIII which was explicitly created as a world-protecting robot
Necron in FFIX is just another incarnation of the Void from FFV, same as Cloud of Darkness in III
Yorshka is Gwyndolin and Priscilla's daughter
Classic MegaMan didnt "die", but was heavily damaged and his AI was salvaged to form the basis for the consciousness of X, the last piece to make a truly sentient android and also maybe helps to keep X from going Maverick. So in a sense, X truly is the OG Mega. Always felt that was going to be an eventual revelation to the X series.
Doubt its a theory and more fact that Mother 3 takes place in the "bad" timeline where Giygas destroyed civilization. Bunch of things point to this. Less obvious but still a good chance of being true, Buzzbuzz in Earthbound is probably Ninten.
I'm interested, could you go into more detail about the Mother ones?
In Earthbound, as soon as you boot up the game, you see the first title screen showing a destroyed city. We learn in the game that Giygas is using his psychic influence to manipulate the dark thoughts every human has, making them go schizo and insane and the weirdos you encounter in EB are just the beginning of this trend that will only escalate until 10 years later where the earth is in ruins from this and the aliens have free reign over a already devastated planet.
In Mother 3, Leder reveals the inhabitants of the Nowhere Islands are descendants of refugees from an "old world" where humanity and its greed and evil destroyed society. These survivor's escaped to these isolated islands and wiped their memories of the past to live in harmony with nature and each other in a simple lifestyle without the burdens of modern society.
Porky after EB went skipping across time and ended up in this "original" fate of Earth and began reintroducing aspects of the world he knew, the "old world", which began the islands back on a path towards modernization (essentially trying to build the type of world from Mother 1/2) and in doing so, the same concepts of money, greed, self interests, the burdens of the modern world, came back as well.
There is a cut alternate final boss fight against Claus that has heavy Giygas undertones, probably implying that since the same selfish desires had been brought back, Giygas influence was able to return as well, maybe even using Claus as a type of avatar because of all the torment and suffering he in particular had done to him and what ill feelings probably lurk in his mind.
As for the Ninten/Buzzbuzz theory, its not much, but we have Starman Jr. state that he is "no longer a hero" and we know he is some type of machine body with a human mind sent back in time in the same way the kids in EB have to to get to Giygas in the anchient past.
Incredibly interesting. The "bad end" theory definitely sounds solid, though it does make me wonder where the aliens fricked off to if their purpose was to touch down and take control of the otherwise devastated world. Granted, that might not have been their plan, but who knows what their plan actually was.
Similarly with the Buzz Buzz theory, why Ninten? Unless I'm mistaken, doesn't M1 take place around 198X and M2/EB around 199X? At that point, why not just show up in person? You could make a more convincing argument that it's Lucas from the future traveling back to try and prevent his world from going to shit in the first place. Granted, I'm not all too sure if M1 and M2/EB even take place on the same world. I haven't read too much into the lore or any Itoi interviews where people inevitably asked him. But still, interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing, anon.
Yes, 198X was mother 1, 199X was 2, but Buzzbuzx comes from 200X, 10 years after EB. So Ninten would be in his 30s then and probably would have more experience then surviving and fighting against the aliens in this fricked up world.
We also know that the prophecy that he tells Ness, the one about the youths who will unite with the planet to stop this spreading evil, probably wasn't discovered until sometime after the invasion had begun and its possible someone like Ness, unaware of his potential, may already have been killed.
Another kind of theory that ties into this is that EB exists as a time loop. Late game EB you can see the dilapidated remains of the robot bodies the kids will use, before they use them, leftover from the fight with Giygas. Since its an anchient prophecy that 4 youths will destroy Giygas, these bodies leftover may have started the prophecy, like they go back>defeat Giygas>legend starts of those who will beat Giygas>legend discovered during fall of earth>Ninten transfers mind to machine to tell the kids still alive in the past whom they think this legend is about that they are the chosen ones>kids go on adventure > travel back in time > defeat Giygas > legend starts of those who will defeat Giygas, etc etc infinitely.
We also know Giygas was emotionally manipulated in M1 so to prevent this he went so far back in time he could never be found by humans again. Giygas wanted revenge, wouldn't be a leap of logic that he would be fricking with the cast of M1 leading up to that point with Ninten still trying to stop the aliens.
As for the same world thing, i think thats just a quirk of the series evolution. Originally supposed to be real America then deciding to fictionalize it. Only Itoi would know for sure, he probably never intended to make more then 1 game.
>Necron in FFIX is just another incarnation of the Void from FFV, same as Cloud of Darkness in III
I've been saying this for the last 20 years and no one listens to me.
The only difference in my theory is that Necron is the boss Necrophobe you fight in the last dungeon. Gilgamesh teams up with you to beat him and then sacrifices himself, but if I remember correctly there's a way to make it so that ExDeath intervenes during the fight and says he's disappointed and sends them both to the void or something like that. Necrophobe got sent to the Hill of Despair and eventually turned into Necron after an eternity there.
>I've been saying this for the last 20 years and no one listens to me.
I don't much follow the Necrophobe theory but I fully sympathize with your pain, Anon.
Mostly because I feel exactly that way with the way that to me in FFXII Venat is so fricking obviously the villain of the story and that is never at all addressed nor at all recognized by anyone
Considering 9 was a return to "classic FF", it would make sense to have some ties to "Incarnate darkness" type for a last boss.
>if I remember correctly there's a way to make it so that ExDeath intervenes during the fight and says he's disappointed and sends them both to the void or something like that
I'm pretty sure you're mixing two fights there.
Gilgamesh gets banished to the void for being a disappointment when he attacks you with Excalipoor in Castle Exdeath.
And then he shows up in the Necrophobe fight to commit Self-Destruct on Necrophobe's barriers.
Ah okay, I got them mixed up. There goes the theory
>sans undertale is ness

Unless I'm remembering wrong, ditto are supposedly the failed clones, not missingno
ME3 indoctrination theory
This. It would have been a genuinely creative and interesting way to end the trilogy, which is why it was always clearly bullshit.
the server fire never actually happened and was used as an excuse to shit out all those dlcs
star fox team have their legs amputated so they dont pass out when piloting the arwings when travelling at high speed
i think that's actually confirmed
The exact opposite.
damn i remember it being something official
>HS autist, buy ME trilogy midnight release (sisters boyfriend took me)
>hear about all the hyperbole surrounding ME3 terrible ending
>playthrough whole trilogy 3s ending was lacking but not as bad as people said
>stumble upon indoctrination theory videos
>go down indoctrination rabbit hole
>theories have evidence not just fanboy cope
>follow rabbit hole for months
>Andromeda press release says it takes place disconnected from the main trilogy
The leviathan and citadel dlc are the two most damning pieces of evidence for the theory but it also begs the question how fricked up bioware was back then to do starchild and ending their trilogy so badly fans have made documentary level conspiracy videos to hold onto a glimmer of hope that their wrpg could stand the test of time but its just overshadowed by the hyperbole of Andromeda(deserved) and Mass Effect 3 ending (deserved)
Why does leviathan and citadel confirm indoctrination theory?
Does this theory really save a shred of ME though as the game still plays out flat and head canon cannot change that much?
The babylon rogues come from Blaze's dimension. Sky Babylon in Rush Adventure and Blaze's comments all but confirm it
So did the ancient Babylonians have ways of traveling between dimensions and just had some descendants on either side before they fell? Or did the bird trio wind up on Sonic's side by accident somehow?
Had to have been the former, right? There are whole Babylon constructs in the Riders games after all.
I think they were dimension hopping thieves that ended up crash landing on mobius and their descendants became autistic racers.
That's actually pretty good. Would've made a great plot for a Riders game if they set it in Blaze's universe with the true (possibly surviving, even) home of the Babylons.
Damn shame that the series is fricking dead.
It's actually a dream, in every piece of media ever.
I'm a vanilla gay, so I'll go with Link is dead in Majora's Mask.
>gman is gordon from an alternate timeline
>dr breen is actually a good guy
''Adam Jensen'' from MD is a clone of the original and an Illuminati sleeper agent
I like the theory that Fort Dawnguard in Skyrim was originally built by the Riften Lord to house and protect his son, Lord Harkon. Feels like a thread the writers wanted to follow up on, but it got cut.
Also like the idea that there's only one spoke of the Wheel remaining, and that the Elder Scrolls universe has now been set up for a Third Impact-tier biblical Armageddon.
This is pretty explicit, actually. The after-credits reveals the motive, they want to kill off Janus.
Not only is Adamantine the last tower standing, it is the first tower to ever stand. It is the place of Convention, it is where a Divine was killed.
It's got a lot of really good lore potential if and when it falls. The question is if Bethesda can actually make use of it.
He has a really big mouth
i like the earthbound fetus one
>post your favorite vidya theory
I'm immersed in an incredibly realistic VR game and my parents will come into my room anytime now and pull the plug.
The painting the painter girl makes after the Dark Souls 3 dlcs is the world of Elden Ring. The rot Outer God located beneath the Lake of Rot is the same naturally occurring rot which begins eating away at all painted worlds. The reason the rot is sentient is related to the world being painted with a pigment derived from the Dark Soul. As it consumed the canvas, it gained the latent humanity stored in the pigment.
we need Freudian theories of play to get to the next level of game design.
>All the events from Spec Ops: The Line are actually a schizofrenic episode of PTSD playing inside Martin Walkers heads, explaining the whole transition of the Helicopter from the beggining as well as other surreal moments and details, meaning all the events in Spec Ops The Line already happened, and you are just playing a schizo blaiming himself for his frick ups without really bealiving that shit.
A lot of the ideas of NiGHTS Into Dreams' cut true ending were probably shifted into the main ending to beef it up; the theme of not needing NiGHTS was probably originally meant for the true final boss, hence why Know Thyself is a triumphant version of the main theme. It also probably sounds ridiculous at face value, but I think based on the (admittedly vague) descriptions it's entirely possible the boss ("Selph/Self") was actually another aspect of NiGHTS and/or the kids rather than a new and separate character, as part of the whole "ultimate self-actualization" thing.
Arthur and King safely consumed the red flowers to gain strength. King is notably aggressive and clearly the strongest of the current mimigas, and his eyes are a unique dull red, something no other normal mimiga has. Mimigas become mindless brutes with deep red eyes after eating the flower. Arthur peculiarly has red flowers inside his house. They found a way to consume it without going full monster.
I love this theory because it doesn't really factor into the plot but is pure worldbuilding.
The part where you have to kill one of the crazed Mimigas and it happens to be one of the smallest and most innocent is so fricked. Especially when they're force fed the flowers. There's something deeply disturbing to me about being forced to digest something that will make you into a mindless beast.
Mary is in the trunk. It makes the whole game even creepier, even if it isn't provable
It only makes sense for Borderlands 1 and a little 2 but
Hyperion set up the New-U stations to keep a portion of Pandora's population alive to keep the planet inhospitable to any outside forces. Bandits would slaughter each other perpetually and keep respawning which is partially why so many of them are heavily mutated. They didn't mind vault hunters going around because they were fricking up their rivals like Atlas.
Waluigi is just an alter-ego Jimmy uses to compete in sporting events alongside Wario.
Waluigi is the final boss of Virtual Boy Wario Land. After being destroyed by Wario, it reincarnated as a replica of the one who destroyed it and lost its memories of being some demonic entity.
:squallomegalul:
I heard that the .hack series can function as a prequel to CC2's LTB series, likely by noting the absurdity of a VR MMORPG that can put you in a coma somehow despite just being a set of goggles with a controller and maybe a keyboard (alien nanotechnology?), and that same ominous chime sound that plays whenever something virus related happens in The World coincidentally also plays in their newest title, Fuga: Melodies of Steel, when reverting to an earlier timeline after a failed combat situation.
The player character in underrail is the third godman
Underrail has some wild lore.
Ellie from Dead Space isn't real and is another hallucination by an outside force that wants to destroy the markers, hence why Ellie seems completely immune to The Markers maddening effects
What about Dead Space 3?
Dismantles the theory
It would have more believability if 3 didn't exist
Though they still never explained how Ellie was never effected by the Marker in ANY capacity
They never explained why the necromorphs could attack and kill your hallucination in dead space 1 either. She can actually die and cause you to fail the mission in this segment.
Timestamp: https://youtu.be/9YOnvmEiTxA?t=140
You lose the mission by having a total mental breakdown..? Pretty flimsy for something that's canonically true.
How does the door get unlocked?
Never existed in the first place, I guess.
Discounting DS3, does Isaac die at the end of DS2 then..?
Rinoa is Ultimecia
The Triforce created Hylia, Demise and the Chosen Hero. Hylia was born from a wish for a guiding force to lead mortal kind with wisdom, creating a technological advanced civilization. Those who opposed this subjugated rule and desired the power of individual freedom used the Triforce and created Demise to rebel against the Goddess and transformed many of those who opposed Hylia into Moblins and Lizfoes, giving them the power they desire. These rebels also form the banished sorcerer clan that become the Twili. As the forces of Demise and Hylia clash, those caught in the middle of this conflict wish for the courage that would end the fighting and link the world together in peace once more, creating the OG Hero who brought balance to the war, ending it and Hylia in her wisdom realized there needed to be order maintained and made the Hero her chosen to be reborn to maintain that order across history.
The woman you find early in the game, who discusses candlelit souls, is the Goddess Devara.
The Betrayer is her brother.
It's my theory that the devs knew how fricking moronic spindlebeasts were, which is why there's only like 3 of them in the game.
Considering the devs were a married couple, the random enemy design seems self-evident.
The Inti Creates shared universe.
The boy is being controlled by the human amalgam from the beginning and the secret ending is a mysterious persons plot to resist the mind control.
that's a bad theory. Kinda surprised that it's your favorite, you must not be very bright, aren't you?
Small bombs in Umineko
Neptune vs SeHa is a after conquest ending timeline
Metal Gear, Snatcher, Policenauts and Zone of the Enders all take place in the same universe at different points in human history.
That's actual canon for most of those games, just complicated by latter-day Metal Gear games expanding beyond the original scope of the series.
The downfall Zelda timeline is actually the original timeline and ends when the three goddesses make someone's (most likely a Zelda's) wish come true and start the timeline over with the correct preparations for the Hero of TIme to succeed.
The MMR system of DOTA 2 is an mkultra experiment to guide AI. Ganker discovered this a couple years ago apparently
what
Even accepting that premise at face value, MKUltra hasn't been active in your fricking lifetime. Stop calling every hypothetical CIA enhanced coercion project fricking MKUltra, there's been more than one throughout history.
