Beheeyem can create illusions but it can't alter memories
Nah, it's the opposite (read its dex entry). Jan just used artistic liberty to expand its powers a bit.

I don’t recall which scene this is? Can you recall me?
He eliminated Valerie and Adam's memories, and tried to do the same to Braixen. And also, he helped Narcissa get rid of her memories. Oh, and he transferred his memories to his son, and then tried to do the same to Lavender.
I doubt Freya could completely alter someone's memories on her own. Her power still has its limits.
-
I guess we've only seen Isha wipe people's memories. But I'm sure he and Freya's Beheeyem, if they worked closely together enough, could start completely changing people's memories.

My theory is similar to this one: what if hazuki is madame x, she has a sword, she fights indriad, we don't know who are her parents, if they are still alive and, if your theory about saki is correct, she is related to saki.
We saw Hazuki in the present though.
-
Alternatively, maybe Madame X is a brainwashed Saki? Maybe Freya and Isha did their work on her, and told her that she was the daughter of Freya and Kieran. We saw her on the pyramid just after she was brainwashed, but then she was taken to the Miera region in the past. Freya then somehow died in the nuclear explosion, but Madame X lived on. Or something like that. After all, Saki's final tweet was signed with an X.

Back when Angie tried to sacrifice Melia there are a few frames where she turns into Maria.
She doesn't. She turns into her early-game sprite.
Here's the sprite she momentarily turns into on the altar.
And here's the sprite she has when you first meet her in Goldenwood Forest.

Now, when it comes to the Interceptor, that's where things can get all kinds of confusing. I am going to assume at the moment that whatever happened in that house, it was the most critical moment, or the point whereby the Interceptor is grafted into events, and is shown the prologue due to its dire significance as the very incident that triggers the disasters to come.
Good thought.
2 hours ago, Feng Lei said:Now, another thought on all this happening more than once: we know Anathea dies twice, basically. What if she and Kanon are the same kind of entity? There was an original Anathea, presumably the one Tangrowthed. But it is possible that the one we see in the prologue is in fact a special Kanon-style maid. We've seen clearly he is basically a hormunculus, and Anathea-Prologue version might indeed be such a creature.
That can't be true, since she's inside the soul stone now. (Speaking of: if Maria were Melia, Anathea would definitely have popped out when you came into contact).
2 hours ago, Feng Lei said:Then there's the Maria bit. It could be we witness her final moments in the prologue, and the result is the Archetype splitting again into 4. That would make sense, so far as I know, if not for the fact that Isiah had data on the Theolias indicating they all existed prior to the siblings vanishing and their hair turning gold. But what if that's misdirection? Perhaps Freya did it? We know at least Risa Raider was lurking nearby at the time... possibly stalking us JUST to prevent us from piecing too much together. Though she did try and hint as something critical with that Garufa nuke (which was always empty. Weirdest moment in that chapter).
I kind of doubt Freya would be THAT sophisticated. Thanks for bringing up that Garufa Nuke though, I'd forgotten about it. Weird that Freya would want us to know about it.
Are we all pretty certain that Risa is Freya? Because if so, Aelita and Texen have a common enemy. They could join forces against her, and Texen would get his redemption arc.

Something else that hints that they are not the same person is that when you enter the lab for the first time you run into melia and unlike marrianette she doesn't recognize you.
Oh, I don't think anybody thought that Melia would have any memories as Maria, just that she was a reincarnation or something. But really, their only similarities are that they're both blonde and that they both have superpowers. The blondeness, if it isn't just coincidence, could be because they were both near the archetype at some point. And they don't even necessarily have the same kind of superpowers; we never saw Maria use any kind of light to make things grow.
Is it possible that Maria was a past interceptor instead? The "remember who you are" thing Madame X said would still make sense.

Maybe the mc and Maria are the same person/ are related.
Actually, you know what I've realized? There is NO evidence that Maria and Melia are the same person. The game kind of just lets you assume that. But the only thing suggesting that is that when Angie tries to sacrifice Melia, Melia says she's "experienced this before." But that's flimsy evidence at best; presumably many people have been sacrificed in the past.

Wait, where exactly in the desert can we find the prologue house? The mysterious house below Sashilla is the one Crescent was sitting at, was it not? At Valor Mountain when she saves us from death?
Yes, it was. But the layout of the inside is exactly like the layout of the house in the prologue. You can even find the portrait of Maria's family in GDC, hang it up where it originally was in the prologue, and in response the basement will open and you can see the room where Vitus sacrificed his wife. So yes, both the house in the prologue and the Marble Mansion exist simultaneously.
But that's not even the weirdest part. When you walk around the house, the player character themself starts having flashbacks to the prologue. Which clearly has something to do with them appearing outside of the house when you "die." So it appears that Marianette and the player have a weird connection.

Or it could be a seperate timeline since we know those exist and that Madame X can seemingly hop between them it would explain why she says how many times are you going to put her through this like this exact scenario had happened in multiple different timelines.
Yeah, that's what I was saying. But it only works if the timelines merged at some point, and had already begun merging before the calamity.

My guess is that the prologue scene was an illusion created by indriad and that this scene had repeated it self more than once because in the prologue madame x says "how many times will you put her through this".
That's what I thought too. But you can literally find the house from the prologue in the desert.
-
One other thing: were there multiple Marias in the past? Like, I initially thought it was strange that Anathea said "the soul of Maria is nearby" in the dungeon under Hiyoshi City. We had seen Gardevoir trap Maria in the crystal under the Marble Mansion a few weeks earlier, and she was still there after the calamity when Kenneth went in. So yeah, that was weird.
But the Strange House made it weirder. I'd initially thought the prologue was just a vision Maria had while in the crystal. But it appears that somehow BOTH the prologue and the Marble Mansion scene happened in the past. And come to think of it, the Hiyoshi City dungeon looked like the area in the prologue where Maria was going to be sacrificed.
I highly doubt Vitus was raising two families at once. And in the prologue, he seemed to never have left the cult, and was merely hiding his involvement in it from Anathea. So is it possible that the calamity caused two alternate universes to merge? And they had already begun merging by the Hiyoshi City sequence?

What happens if you don't free Kreiss? Is there any advantage whatsoever, or do you just end up without Rock Climb for the rest of the game?

There was the time she hung up on him and also when she accidentally called him "Mr. Ren"
She could have hung up on him because she still would know who Anastasia was. But when did she call him Mr. Ren?
-
This is a change of topic, but are we sure Anastasia is really Nastasia? After all:
SpoilerYou'd think Nastasia would remember meeting Ren in the past, especially when she was guiding him through a scene that she had lived through. Also, Nastasia seems rather young for someone who was alive before Storm 9. Is it possible that Nastasia is the Deoxys instead? Maybe Anastasia dies when trying to save Maria from Indriad, and then her Deoxys uses its DNA powers to become a "clone" of her, and wants revenge.

Rivals
Victoria: I guess a Falinks could work
Cain: Galarian Weezing maybe?
Fern: Possibly an Obstagoon. I could see it replacing his Krookodile--though he does seem to prefer reptilian Pokemon
Gym Leaders
Julia: Pincurchin, at least for her Fiore mansion team. Just because of its Electric Surge ability.
Shelly: Orbeetle. Emphasizes her nerdy, bookish side
Shade: Possibly a Cursola or Runeigrus
Kiki: Falinks, maybe
Aya: Toxtricity (Low Key form)
Serra: Frosmoth, since it's pretty and can use Aurora Veil
Noel: I could see him with an Indeedee. Heck, maybe his Clefable could be replaced with one, and Nostra/Nomos could also become Indeedees.
Radomus: Mr. Rime would dovetail nicely with his Mad Hatter schtick.
Samson: Grapploct maybe? It's all muscle, just like him.
Charlotte: Maybe a Centiskorch
Adrienn: Galarian Weezing, possibly with Misty Surge
Titania: Corviknight, due to her medieval theme.
Saphira: Dragapult! In fact, I'm kind of pissed that Dragapult wasn't designed in an earlier generation, because it would have been a way better signature Pokemon than Dragonite. I mean, a badass stealth bomber dragon with a maternal streak? Fits Saphira like a glove.
Other Notable Trainers
Aster and Eclipse: Grimmsnarl and Hatterenne, respectively
Cal: Galarian Darmanitan, but only during the Ametrine Mountain arc
Bennett: Frosmoth. Fits with his butterfly theme, and also could set up Aurora Veil during his Voclain Estate battle. I could see him getting rid of it for his subsequent battles, emphasizing his separation from his mother.
Blake: Obstagoon? It would fit with his mocking, kick-them-while-they're-down personality
DJ Arclight: Toxtricity (Amped Up form)

You can also forgo said items entirely in favor of abilities like Prankster and Sturdy, or even just Intimidate. Air Balloon + Dragon resist works wonders too, and I've personally experienced Aromatisse tanking an Earthquake outright.
Where can I find an Air Balloon?

Thanks so much!

So I belatedly downloaded the Mac Version of Reborn, and ten minutes in it seems to be running smoothly. So first order of business: how do I prepare for Solaris?
No, but seriously. I haven't yet devised a strategy, but I know it'll need at least a few Quick Claws/Focus Sashes/anything else that lets me get a move off before Garchomp one-shots all of my Pokemon. So is there any way to get those kinds of items before Pyrous Mountain?
(asking this now in case the answer is time-sensitive)
-
Oh wait, I never saw that dialogue from Evelyn. You're probably right.
That said, I don't think faking her power level in that way would be off-brand for Lin. Seeming much more powerful than one is to intimidate others is a form of power in itself. As Charlotte puts it, "you can make people lose control by convincing them they never had any."
-
So when Lin battles you in Titania's gym, she uses an Alolan Ninetales--leading one to believe she took Ame's for herself. Later, she uses a Gardevoir to suck Samson into the void. This, of course, is leading to speculation that she somehow broke Gossip Gardevoir's will and is controlling her now. That would make Lin terrifyingly powerful, since Gardevoir was so intensely loyal to Radomus that she had sacrificed herself for him just ten minutes earlier.
But wait...haven't we seen Gossip Gardevoir being disloyal once before? Oh right, that was a Ditto.
So what if Lin's Gardevoir is also a Ditto? And the same with her Ninetales? What if she's just screwing with you to make herself seem more powerful than she really is?

Why would they have been from the past though? Wasn't Sigmund a kid when his sister died?

He was trying to do the same thing to Braixen at the Hospital of Hope, and it was implied that he had already succeeded with the two of them.
With Freya, I doubt she could give someone total amnesia, much less make them remember an entirely false past life. Her tricks on Kenneth were still pretty minor--they just included making him and Taelia misremember minor things, making Kenneth think he was having hallucinations, and giving him a dream where he met Taelia (and I think he was already knocked out at that point, so it would have been easier).
