PenguinPrincess Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I think alt dimension more likely. Timeskip doesn't work because if certain characters srank at a later time, there wouldn't be another timeskip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikker Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Maybe neither. It could be something new like growth pills or something. But that's gonna be just as bad as time travel. It's sad but I don't think there will be a timeskip. I really want it but I just don't see them going that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboKD001 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I would prefer alt dimension like the kids are from a world where Kamui chose the other path... wait does that even make sense? Edited June 19, 2015 by LoboKD001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirokan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sigh... I can't think of what else it may be other than alternate dimensions and what have you. I am willing to be pleasantly surprised however. Maybe that's a twist in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackc2 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I really want all the kids to have got trapped in an alternate dimension while they are very young where time passes at a fast rate relative to the Real world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonZ Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) That odd quote about the "outer world" or "other world" heavily suggests that there's some kind of alternate dimension stuff going on with them. It's certainly not a timeskip though, considering how not only the avatar (who could be excused due to very strong dragon blood), but also that young mage aren't any older while standing alongside their children.

Thane Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 At this point alternate universes make more sense.That's a sentence I never thought I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackc2 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I don't want this to be my alternate dimension self child like it was in awakening I want this to be my units proper child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonZ Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Awakening technically had children from the future, not alternate dimension. Yes, the future diverges from the past after the past is changed, but I think it sounds like these children will be something else, not just from a split timeline. That quote from Kanna about the "outer world" sounds fairly different from anything the future children said to their parents when meeting them.

B.Leu Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) At this point alternate universes make more sense. That's a sentence I never thought I'd say. Well, in Awakening, you can almost say it was more alternate universes than time-travel at this point, due to the change that happened and mostly because of the BS of future/past Robin that didn't make sense. Doesn't make it better. :p Edited June 19, 2015 by B.Leu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinPrincess Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) This is Awakening all over again. The moment romance is formed and an engagement is entered into with marriage occurring later on (due to ongoing war/conflict), the next-gen arrives. Its funny because you don't even need to consummate a marriage for next-gen to appear. It is almost as if the world is 100% confident that the characters, once engaged, will 100% produce offspring without even the physical act to have occurred. This is funny...

NeonZ Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 In Awakening, the future was split from the past due to the time travel. Gameplay-wise, the characters only appear after the player pairs them since the game can't guess which pairs you're going with, but they're meant to be around in the past even before you got that S ranking. The father is even allowed to die afterwards, which would make the child being born impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty_Handsome Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'm betting on Outrealms once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I don't see it impacting the story; I think it's just bonus content for people who want the feature. So Outrealm stuff fits best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPGatWill Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The only way there would be a time skip is if at a certain point in the story every character that was married had a kid and that was the time skip, but I can't see that happening due to people having supports maxed at different points. Therefore, it's likely alternate dimension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebos Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Morgan was the weird separate timeline child in Awakening, these guys could be like that I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluCommander Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 That odd quote about the "outer world" or "other world" heavily suggests that there's some kind of alternate dimension stuff going on with them. It's certainly not a timeskip though, considering how not only the avatar (who could be excused due to very strong dragon blood), but also that young mage aren't any older while standing alongside their children. This is what I was going to say. We've seen some weird floating islands and underwater portals(?) and what-not in the trailer. The children mentioning the "outer world" in addition to this weirdness makes me think we are getting an alternate dimension of some sort. At this point alternate universes make more sense. That's a sentence I never thought I'd say. Right!? I was hoping we could keep alternate dimension weirdness out of Fates, but at least it's not time travel... (I think?) As I have mentioned before, I don't like time travel used as a plot device unless it is used very carefully (so many plot holes in awakening because of time travel...)

lysander Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I just hope it's like awakening but in reverse--you can optionally choose to send your parents through an outrealm gate to interact with an AU children's world that is in trouble. Doesn't mess with the main plot, lets the children have their own plot and still lets people have their fun doing meaningless pairing optimization. Ideally IS will explore something more similar to FE4 again, maybe with a FE6/7 remake pair. Would be another chance for them to do a 2-game model if they feel it was beneficial with FE:if--which I could see, given it's easier to get people to buy two things sold at once than to make something and then try to sell them something else that comes out later, like a sequel. Would also improve FE6's plot, if it's positioned as a sequel instead of FE7 as a prequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeSauce Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Right!? I was hoping we could keep alternate dimension weirdness out of Fates, but at least it's not time travel... (I think?) As I have mentioned before, I don't like time travel used as a plot device unless it is used very carefully (so many plot holes in awakening because of time travel...) One of the plot holes I found to be the worst was Morgan. (S)he can be the child of the children characters, yet is still with them to be recruited! I seriously hope marrying the child characters is not possible. Anyway, I'd like to think that the "child characters" are not children, but alternate universe versions of those characters or something. I never liked getting the supports for the children characters and Robin because it felt too awkward reading them, unless it was a parent support. But in reality, chances are it's time travel.

BrightBow Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) How about something completedly different, like adoption? You would not need any stupid plot anomaly to justify their existence since a war produces a massive amounts of orphans. It could also introduce a different perspective to the cast, the one that shows what happened to the families of those who were left behind while their parents went off getting themselves killed at the frontlines and the common people who have no bigger goal in the war then to survive by any means necessary. It also means that supports can actually develop the relationship between parent and child since it doesn't justify itself with a past that the player and one of the characters have ever seen. This could also be an interesting since this sorta mirrors Kamui's own situation (well, minus the kidnapping), so maybe such a relationship could help him and he and members of his families to understand each other. And personally I am rather tired of that whole "Sure I am going to accept you as my own child despite the fact that you are a complete stranger to me, because blood ties beat everything" routine. I hope they are being smarter about it this time since this is basically supposed to be the main theme of the games.

Blue Sun Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'm confident that it's an alternate dimension of some design unless every character in Fates ages very slowly and then it becomes a time-skip. It personally doesn't matter too much to me either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrouded In Myth Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) I'm guessing it will be something like Tokyo and Mikado in SMT 4. They're interconnected but not alternate universes, time simply progresses at different rates.

Insane Werewolf Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm leaning towards alternate dimension, I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Baeronius Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Alternate dimension probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avarice Shadow Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 More than likely is an alternate dimension. I'm a little biased towards this right now because Awakening had the opposite. But if the writing is good enough then I won't mind at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
