  1. It's not for reasons, because Revelations you have to kill the heart to destroy him. Destroying the body does not finish him, and again the battle shows multiple hearts on his side, so the likely conclusion is that he combined his might with other alternate versions of himself, killed all the parents, and then raised the dads as his minions to fight alongside Arete, Mikoto, and Sumeragi. In fact he spent the first four chapters setting it up using illusions to try to make the child units kill each other.

  2. On some level yes, which is why I am not saying it makes zero sense, but it still feels out of place to me. Fates did not directly deal with timeline hopping and time travel. Plus my statements were also in regards to the brouder issues of 2ed gens being shoehorned into Fates and such.

    I always assumed that the goal (or at least Naga's goal in sending the kids back if they themselves didn't know how time travel worked) was that their timeline was Fed anyways and they might as well ensure there is at least one timeline out there were everyone doesn't die. Yeah the Naga thing is a plothole, but in the end I was talking more in a thematic sense. Future Past felt right, and thus I can more easily ignore the couple of inconsitancies. This DLC feels like the writers went "well future past was popular, but shoehorn a version of it into Fates)

    I mean, I am also super biased since the aforementioned theory/implication that FP is a failed version of the game's timeline and where Morgan was interesting to me enough to write a whole damn fanfiction about it.

    Also

    but didn't they just kill failed Revelations timeline Anankos? Like, wouldn't he be around in their timelines? Plus it's not even the player's version of Birthright/Conquest.

    Ah you mean with the second gen themselves. Yes I'm not a fan of how they implemented it, but I didn't realize that was what you were talking about or else I would have brought it up. Sorry about that.

    The Anankos in this Failed Revelations is weird because he doesn't have one heart, but numerous ones floating in the battle, and Anankos himself has already been known to have the ability to hop between worlds, something Grima couldn't do. Grima couldn't time travel by himself either and had to piggy back on a portal made by Naga. Plus I can't say for sure but it looks like he's possessing the Heart!Anankos seen in Invisible History/Hidden Truths who is the final enemy to beat.

  3. Actually it does jive to some degree because these timelines are all supposed to exist and thus why Anankos foresaw these events happening, being part of his song and everything, save for the convenient fourth verse that was never mentioned before. Geez thanks Water! Only crazy people think one is more canon than the other.

    In fact Awakenings didn't really work that well either because they kept trying to force this whole fighting fate thing and how Lucina had to be born during a timeskip, when the existence of alternate timelines themselves means she would have continued existing regardless and the future she came from would still exist regardless of what she did. Not to mention even then there's inconsistencies like Naga saying she can't be killed by Grima, which conveniently does happen in Future Past.

    It also allows the children to do what Corn and the others failed to do in their Conquest/Birthright timelines, tackle on the actual threat instead of the patsies.

  4. Different worlds they were brought from. Female Kana from Birthright, Male Kana from Conquest. Them and the children of the respective nation brought from the same world to the world where Corrin failed to defeat Anankos, where everybody died except for Lilith and Shigure.

  5. Well everyone died on Failed Revelations, which is the one Shigure and Azura are in and where this battle takes place. She was already dead because they all died against Anankos. Looks like they couldn't even kill Arete, Mikoto, or Sumeragi either and the fathers are brought back as near mindless as they only say .... .

  6. Did Anankos possess his own heart? Because that's what it looks like. Not to mention if the screenshot I saw was right there were multiple hearts in that battle.

    Phillius think of it this way.

    At least we know there's one timeline where they screwed up royally trying to do Revelations. Anankos doesn't even revive Corn to do his bidding. Though considering he hates them that's probably why.

  7. Everyone's getting a chance to be that strong.

    Not only is the level cap removed after beating En no Ozuno's DLC, but the fiends and random encounters in their dungeon all get significantly stronger with each respawn. Satan himself is 20 levels higher than that guy.

  8. Not Strange Journey. Vending Machines can't be anything more than that. :Rei:

    Note this is what I've heard from people who've played the incomplete dlc found on the cartridge. That said some of it like the Fiend respawn and the level cap increase are legit as En No Ozuno appears in the Fiends dungeon as the final fiend after doing it.

  9. Yes. There will be some DLC involving a boss fight against Stephen. The rewards will be the Fiends respawning in their optional dungeon (Never respawn after being beaten otherwise) and the Reward of getting the Previous Protagonists as Demons a 2 level cap increase after beating the Fiends all together each time they respawn.

    As for the Beach DLC.

    It's just a dream. Mephisto is messing with them. Cleopatra is a separate dlc

    That said Tir Na Nog the Land of Fairies does have a beach area in it along with an underground and forest area.

  10. Yes I'd be wary of the SMT wiki for demon pages (Also Photo section there are a bunch of spoiler images), the Tvtropes page, 4chan (Note even the ones that aren't /v/ and /vg/ aren't safe), and even gamefaqs because they all have spoilers in them.

    I myself have been spoiled on a lot of the game and I greatly appreciate it because it made me want the game more.

    Just know it reveals a lot of interesting things about the original IV's plot as well. Which frankly it had to do as the FINAL story set in IV's universe.
