Ok, I reached the point where the entire party gets access to mechs. I'm enjoying the game so far. I wanna go back to the desert since I rushed the exploration a little (because I wanted to get more access to the game's mechanics). Anyways, so far the plot's left me with a million questions, I'm going to list them. Pls don't spoilers. I expect some of these questions to go unanswered and others to be related to plot twists.

1. Where did the names "Agnus" and "Keves" come from? Like, in-universe. Alrest already had a name to describe all of its countries and while Bionis/Mechonis didn't, I assume some compromise between those two names would exist.

2. How tf did Melia and Nia get into power? With Melia's case, she ended the series as queen of the bird ppl, but there were never any ambitions to govern anyone else. In Nia's case, she was at best the former Blade of the former mayor of Torigoth, which would put even Pandoria and Brighid in more valid places than her to take the throne of all of Alrest.

3. So, why are Melia and Nia acting antithetical to the themes of both of their games? 1 had a lot about ppl chosing their own fate and 2 had a lot about passing the torch between generations. I assume there will be an explanation.

4. So, everyone in the party is based off someone Melia or Nia knew. The Keves gang share personality traits with the 1 gang while the Agnus gang shares visual similarities with characters from 2. Are they, like, reincarnations or something? I assume there's a particular reason for this, especially with Eunie getting a flashback from Melia's life.

5. How tf did Melia give birth to Machina (but Nopon are incompatable)?

6. I was under the assumption that Blades were infertile, so how the tf did Nia give birth to anyone?

7. How much time passed exactly? The oldest bird person in 1 was 300 and Melia was 88, she doesn't appear that old in 3, so I'm guessing 100 years approximately. Especially if the average lifespan is, like, 7 or something, that's good enough for a multi-generational conflict.

8. How do the Alphabet Soup Power Rangers fit into this exactly? Where did they come from? I assume they're also working with Agnus. Why are Melia and Nia working with them?

9. So, are we going to be reintroduced to old characters other than Melia and Nia later down the line. Like, from 1, all of the High Entia and Machina should still be there while all the Blades from 2 should still be alive. Are they going to show up in The City tm? If 3 takes place less than 100 years later, that would give child characters like Juju, Rex, and Tora a chance of returning. I hope Juju returns as the final boss. I said this about 2 and I'll say it again about 3. Juju final boss prediction.

10. I wanna know what happened to the Aegises. I mostly just want to see the 3 designers fix Pyra's character design.

11. Since when was green hair introduced to Keves's genetic pool?

12. How did Agnus get access to mechs? The Keves mechs are obviously mechon, but 2 didn't have any mech titans.

13. What happened to the Blade Cycle? Do Blades still turn into titans? My guess is that maybe they don't resonate in the new world, but the first thing we see happen there is Rex reawakening Pyra and Mythra.

14. What's Alvis been up to? This doesn't look like what either he or Shulk intended. War isn't very "hand in hand." Also, even if he knew about Alrest, I can only assume he was not expecting for Alrest and Bionis to be recreated at the exact same time.

15. I'm getting some birth visuals from the game so far. There are the test tube babies, but the mechs come from Egg. I hope the characters have to react to a live birth later in the game lmao.

16. All of the Agnus characters appear to be based on Blades and all the Keves characters would be ether based. From what I can tell, the Flame Clocks are collecting ether from corpses to power new life. Effectively meaning everyone is reincarnating repeatedly and rapidly while being harvested for their energy. Not too differently from Zanza's system in 1. A similar death and rebirth system exists in 2 and Amalthus uses it to harvest energy. So, what about the Alrest human characters? They aren't tied to a cycle or ether, so what are they up to?

17. So Noah can just summon the Lucky Seven? Also I already forgot the origin explained, but is it the fucking True Monado or something? I think it's the Monado.

18. The Ouroboroses kinda look like the Ghosts in X. Is X going to be part of this hodgepodge?

19. Why do the mechs have titties?

20. The Moebius theme slaps so fucking hard. Not a question. Simply a fact.
